Honourable Rod Caddies drew on 15 years of experience in residential care to highlight the failures in Australia’s child protection system. Sharing the story of an Indigenous aunt forced to give up her two nieces after a $50 rent increase, he argued that simple preventative support could have kept the children in family care and saved taxpayers thousands in foster costs. Rod Caddies urged governments to focus on early intervention, prevention programs, and consultation with frontline workers to ensure child protection decisions truly reflect the best interests of children.

Pauline Hanson slammed independent Senator Fatima Payman over her remarks following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, calling them vile and disgraceful. Senator Hanson recalled past clashes with Payman in parliament, where she says she was smeared with slurs for questioning constitutional eligibility. Defending Kirk as a man who valued free speech and respectful debate, Senator Hanson vowed to campaign hard to ensure Payman is not re-elected, stressing the need to remove divisive figures from Australian politics.

This week One Nation and Senator Hanson joined the team at Advanced Rider Training at Morgan Park Raceway in Warwick.

Tasmanian One Nation figure Lee Hanson tells Hoodies Magazine why Australians shouldn’t be smeared for attending pro-Australia rallies and backs criminalising flag-burning, arguing the issue has been politicised by major parties and media. She outlines One Nation’s grassroots push—registering the party in Tasmania and launching local branches—while calling for common-sense population planning and debate without labels. Lee Hanson also questions a $900m AFL stadium amid housing, health, and cost-of-living pressures, urging priority for essential services before big projects.

One Nation Chief of Staff James Ashby criticised Labor’s renewable energy agenda, warning that wind farms and solar projects are carving up Queensland’s farmland, destroying habitats, and failing to deliver affordable power. He argued locals are being ignored while costs soar, with some businesses now relying on diesel generators as a cheaper option than grid electricity. James Ashby praised Queensland’s state government for listening to regional communities, contrasting it with what he sees as federal Labor’s ideological pursuit of renewables at any cost.
