With news that the old solar power station at White Cliffs in remote New South Wales has been listed on the State Heritage Register, I thought I'd share this photo of it that I took in 2017. Decommissioned in 2005, it was one of the first in the world to sell solar power commercially.

Excerpts from the tremendous public service & public resource that is the HANSON DOSSIER - the "complete public accountability record of Pauline Hanson. Drawn from court judgments, parliamentary records, AEC data, and verified journalism" Share it & keep it handy‼️ 👉 thehansonrecord.com
Excerpt from the HANSON DOSSIER

Senator Hanson had a tendency to make racist, discriminatory, hateful, derogatory and Islamophobic statements, particularly in relation to persons of colour, migrants to Australia and Muslims. She was found to be an argumentative witness who would say anything which came to mind if she felt it would suit her at the time. - Justice Angus Stewart, Federal Court of Australia - Faruqi v Hanson, November 2024. 
This is a formal judicial finding made after hearing Hanson testify under oath. It is not a political opinion. It is the considered judgment of an Australian Federal Court judge.Excerpt from a section titled The Verdict in the HANSON DOSSIER

Pauline Hanson has spent 30 years telling Australians she is one of them. A battler. A plain-speaker. A politician who cuts through the rubbish and fights for ordinary people against a self-serving political class and the wealthy elites who have rigged the system. That story does not match what she has actually done.

She has been found guilty of racial discrimination by the Federal Court of Australia. She has been suspended from the Senate and censured 55 votes to 5. Her senior staff were caught on hidden camera trying to sell Australia's gun laws to American lobbyists for up to $20 million. She personally cast doubt on the Port Arthur massacre on hidden camera. She has accepted a $2 million plane from Australia's richest billionaire and undisclosed jet flights from that same billionaire. She billed taxpayers to attend that billionaire's fundraising events on a luxury cruise ship. She placed her daughter in a $150,000 taxpayer-funded job and banned the journalist who asked about it from all future access. She attended just 12 per cent of Senate estimates hearings over her career while being paid a full senator's salary. She promoted vaccine misinformation linking vaccines to autism and cancer. She published a book claiming Aboriginal women ate their babies to "demonstrate savagery" and used it to raise funds for her party.Excerpt from a section titled The Verdict in the HANSON DOSSIER cont'd

While doing all of that, she has voted against wage increases for workers, against childcare funding for families, against housing affordability policies, against public school funding, against renewable energy, against renters' rights, against COVID vaccine urgency as Australians were dying in aged care, and against nearly every social safety net mechanism that would actually help the working-class Australians she claims to represent.

She changed her party's constitution in 2017 to give herself lifetime leadership and the sole right to choose her own successor, making One Nation constitutionally indistinguishable from a personal fiefdom. Seven senators have quit or been expelled from the party since 2016. The party founded on anti-establishment populism is now bankrolled by a mining billionaire worth tens of billions of dollars, flying on her private jet and attending her fundraisers on a luxury cruise ship.

The people who pay the price for Pauline Hanson's political career are the ordinary Australians she claims to represent. The record is public. The choice is yours.Excerpt from the HANSON DOSSIER

Table comparing the policy position of One Nation, Labor, Coalition and the Greens on 13 policies relating to: Climate Science, Gun Laws, Worker Pay Rises, ABC and SBS, Renewable Energy, Housing Affordability, Childcare, Public School Funding, Abortion Rights, UN Membership, Multiculturalism, Trans Healthcare, and Press Freedom

[On every single one, One Nation has a regressive, frequently far-right radical stance]

Yes, look: if a political movement splits into a huge bloc of millions of civilians baying for racially-based genocide and getting it, and a far, far smaller bloc who wring their hands and ask for the same in a less overtly bloodthirsty manner, there really isn’t much debate over whether it’s racist

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
