One Nation says AI is coming for Australian jobs then used AI to make their campaign video.
They didn’t hire an Aussie videographer or Aussie editor or Aussie actors.
Turns out it’s only ‘Australian jobs first’ when One Nation doesn’t have to pay.

Labor late - new leadership in The Greens has decided to stand up and be a government-in-waiting - a lot of Australians are embracing that direction Last night Vic Labor decided they would deliberately ignore the opportunity to work with Greens, ignoring voters WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE MESSAGE LABOR

Angus Taylor's migration policy has managed to unite the Business Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Property Council and the Queensland LNP Premier- all against him. Instead of winning PHON votes, he’s just lost more Lib ones. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

Why the FlyDubai story doesn’t add up, a Greens left turn and Australia’s politics of power
The FlyDubai narrative deserves more scrutiny, Shoebridge pushes the Greens towards the populist left; One Nation gets closer to Rinehart; Big tech and AI; and Labor pushes another massive coalmine.

So interest rates have to go up because we need 100,000s people to lose their jobs, but a climate catastrophe coal mine has to be expanded because we can't use 1,500 jobs? I'm not indifferent to the material conditions of workers, but this system sure is.

Labor’s hypocrisy on coal and gas means Australia’s climate authority, especially with our Pacific neighbours, is falling apart. Pacific Island leaders are boldly fighting to protect their nations from deadly global warming caused by coal & gas. It’s literally a life and death struggle for them.
