Hey, Channel 9 newspapers, SMH & The Age how about fact-check One Nation lies about abortions, eg Hanson's lie that people 'abort the day before due date'. Absolute rubbish. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Pauline Hanson spoke for 90 minutes. We fact-checked her key claims
We break down the major talking points from the One Nation leader’s speech and fiery Q&A.

Where have we seen this before? My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Pauline Hanson at the lecture of the National Press Club. A few other journos visible. Back view of female journalist saying “Did you help your daughter get a taxpayer-funded job while she seemingly campaigns full-time for you?”
Hanson with finger raised says “Quiet Piggy.”

Pauline Hanson dog whistled her way through the entire Press Club speech and apparently nobody in the room heard a thing.

Pauline Hanson goes a full Trump, attacks The Guardian’s Sarah Martin calling her a “trashy journalist” just for daring to ask if she has anything to do with her daughter’s taxpayer-funded career.🙄 A total glass jaw—Clearly working off the MAGA playbook. #auspol

Hanson & Libs are working hand in glove. #auspol grift as both draw support from the same backers. Libs know they can't win outright. They're banking on preferential voting to do the heavy lifting. Their strategy needs disaffected voters directing preferences to One Nation instead of alternatives

Trump shares some interesting company as the last person to be gifted a Nobel Prize medal they did not earn was Joseph Goebbels.
Not all stories around Nobel Prize medals are positive, however, and some of the choices made by laureates were quite controversial.

Norwegian author Knut Hamsun, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920, reportedly gave his medal to Nazi Germany's Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels during World War II.

Hamsun, who met with Adolf Hitler and Goebbels in 1943, was a Nazi sympathiser who supported the German occupation of Norway. Historical accounts indicate he gave his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a symbolic gesture of support.

Hamsun's reputation was destroyed after the war, although his literary works continue to be studied.

David Stratton, esteemed Australian film critic, dies aged 85
The international cinema expert was beloved for his film reviews, particularly on television with Margaret Pomeranz * David Stratton’s closing credits: ‘I’ve done the best I could’ David Stratton, the revered Australian film critic and beloved co-host of television programs The Movie Show and At The Movies with fellow critic Margaret Pomeranz, has died aged 85. Born in the English town of Trowbridge in 1939, Stratton was sent to live with his grandmother in Hampshire during the second world war. An avid filmgoer, she took Stratton to the cinema almost every day, which changed his life. In the 2017 documentary David Stratton: A Cinematic Life, Stratton said he watched “at least one” film he hadn’t seen every day, and had seen more than 25,000 films in his life. Continue reading...
