Hi John, here's an update on the latest.
We've got the guts to say what you're thinking.
ONE NATION PUTS BANKING CODE
UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has officially launched the campaign to prevent a watering down of the Banking Code of Practice.
Speaking at the Financial Services Council 2019 Summit, Senator Roberts announced that One Nation will vote to disallow the ‘2019 Code of Banking Practice’, introduced by the Morrison Government in July.
This move would ensure that the Banking Code of Practice is not watered down further, but One Nation has gone further and called for stronger terms to be included in any future banking code.
One notable example of how the 2019 Code weakens scrutiny of the banks is the removal of the requirement for banks to be ‘honest’ and instead uses the word ‘compassionate’.
I’m sure we could all agree that demanding that banks act honestly should be a minimum requirement.
Since re-entering the Senate in 2016, One Nation has fought tirelessly for major reforms and greater accountably of the banking sector.
From spearheading the Senate Inquiry into Rural Banking, the major precursor to the Banking Royal Commission, to now One Nation has never let up in its struggle to hold the banks to account for their poor treatment of many Australians.
One Nation will be seeking the support of all other parties to ensure that the current weak regulations are scrapped, and then replaced with significantly stronger regulations.
A detailed media release about how One Nation will continue to hold the banking industry account has been released by Senator Roberts and is available to read on his social media.

On a lighter note, Senator Roberts was also named the 45^th most influential Climate Change Politician by Nature magazine!
While it is likely that the authors at Nature Magazine did not intend this as a compliment the list is chock-a-block with so many of the world’s leading opponents of the Climate Change Con that it really must be considered a great honour.
I have a feeling a framed copy of that edition of Nature Magazine will be heading straight to Senator Roberts’ pool room.
And who knows, with all the hard work he has been up too since his re-election, next year he might crack the top ten.

PAULINE HANSON’S PLAN TO KEEP
AYERS ROCK OPEN
Unless you were living under a rock you couldn’t have missed Senator Hanson climb the rock but with the media being what it is, you might not have gotten the full story.
Following the much publicised trip to the rock, Senator Hanson released a detailed statement outlining not just how and why she believed the rock should remain open for all Australians, but a number of other issues that were brought to her attention by the local community that the other parties have ignored.
For instance, the six Anangu Mayatja Council Elders that Senator Hanson spoke with explained that they do not accept the Uluru Statement from the Heart, describing it as a “rag” that does not speak for their people.
Furthermore, there are issues around aboriginal academics and activists speaking on behalf of the community and misrepresenting their desires.
Not to mention the danger that, with the closure of the climb and a potential drop off in tourism numbers, the hundreds of millions of dollars loaned for the purchase of the Ayers Rock Resort might never be repaid.
You can read the entire statement online at www.senatorhanson.com.au ([link removed][UNIQID]) , this is also a great resource for keeping up to date with all media releases coming out of the Senator office.

ROBIN SCOTT’S SPEECH FROM THE HEART
Often politics can be a bruising affair with no love lost on either side but this week one of One Nation’s Western Australian representatives Robin Scott showed that it can also be room for compassion and decency.
Reaching across the aisle, Robin gave a heartfelt speech on the strength of women battling the scourge of breast cancer as sadly one of his colleges across the chamber, Labor MP Alannah MacTiernan, has begun the long journey with this illness.
It is important to remember that while we might not always agree with someone’s politics, taking the time to treat each other with kindness and compassion can be a powerful gesture of respect.

That's your recap from One Nation this week.
While you're here, we'd love to ask a favour. We are a party with fewer resources than Labor with their union donations and the Liberals with their big corporates, but with your help and by listening to the people, we can achieve real change in parliament for the betterment of the country.
One Nation is run on purely grass roots support. We rely on the contributions of mums, dads, daughters and sons from the top to bottom of Australia to stay running as a party and every dollar counts.
We appreciate times are tough but even a small amount of support makes a difference. Your help enables us to keep up the fight in politics and get Australia back on track.
