WESTERN AUSTRALIA HEADS TO THE POLLS
One Nation members in Western Australian have an opportunity tomorrow to stop Labor taking control of both houses of Parliament and implementing a socialist agenda that will cripple the State for generations.
Premier Mark McGowan has already flagged extending border lockdowns and increasing police search powers.
As part of a strong crossbench in the Upper House, One Nation will be able to stop these moves.
It was only with One Nation’s votes that moves by the McGowan Government to nationalise our cray fishing industry, increase the gold tax, close down the school of the air and regional boarding colleges and defund Community Resource Centres were defeated in the Legislative Council in the current term of Government.
If the McGowan Government were to get majority control of the Legislative Council in the March 13 election, any or potentially all of the things we stopped in the past four years will be back on the table. And, with no cross bench to stop the Government, they will happen this time.
Tomorrow, to keep the Upper House independent, VOTE 1 for PAULINE HANSON’S ONE NATION!
ONE NATION PUTS GOVERNMENT ON NOTICE OVER INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has put the Government on notice regarding the serious flaws in their controversial proposals to reform industrial relations law.
“I have doubts about the government’s commitment to comprehensive debate on the Industrial Relations legislation with the committee report due Friday and a vote expected next week,” Senator Roberts said.
“This is critical legislation and Senator Hanson and I will not be rushed into a vote before we have had time to consider the report’s recommendations.”
One Nation is proposing a range of amendments to deal with issues related to casual workers, protections for workers in enterprise agreements, awards and compliance and more.
“I will not support the Bill in its current form and the government needs to be prepared to embrace One Nation’s amendments to rectify and remove the legislation’s flaws,” Senator Roberts said.
“Good industrial relations is about restoring the primary workplace relationship between the employee and employer, and stopping the money flowing to the IR club that profits from complexities.”
“If the Industrial Relations legislation isn’t doing that, and this current Bill doesn’t, then it isn’t good IR and I am committed to amending the Bill for the betterment of employers and employees.”
One Nation will be seeking a review of this legislation in twelve months to address any unintended consequences and a commitment from the government to undertake comprehensive industrial relations reform within two years.
One Nation’s commitment is to protect honest workers, protect small business and restore Australia’s productive capacity.
“I have written to more than 80 stakeholders including union bosses, peak union groups, employer and industry groups and welfare agencies and listened to their feedback on the legislation,” Senator Roberts said.
“It’s time to sort this out and Senator Hanson and I are ready to work with the government and all parties.”
PAULINE HANSON PROPOSES OVERHAUL OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAWS
[link removed]
Ahead of the Joint Select Committee report into Australia’s Family Law System, Pauline Hanson is proposing a national rewrite of domestic violence laws.
The Queensland Senator and One Nation leader believes far too many family law cases have weaponised loose domestic violence laws in an effort to withhold a growing number of parents from seeing their children.
“This conversation is well overdue and I’m not afraid to have it.” Senator Hanson said.
“Domestic violence law varies from state to state and I strongly believe our Federal Courts need a nationalised, standard definition."
Senator Hanson is calling for domestic violence to be broken into three categories - Domestic Harassment, Domestic Threat & Domestic Violence.
“What I’ve taken from this inquiry into Australia’s Family Law System is that most Judges are overworked, their daily dockets are beyond acceptable, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realise they don’t have the time to read pages and pages of submissions when a case is first presented due to the backlog in our Family Law Courts.”
“Submissions have revealed parents charged with domestic violence for simply sending text messages to their former partner seeking a time to see their children.”
Queensland’s Domestic and Family Violence Act 2012 arms separated couples with an ability to charge the other with domestic violence if repeatedly contacted by a former partner by telephone, SMS message, email or social networking sites without the person’s consent.
“When a Judge makes interim orders, the first sign of domestic violence is typically met with a less favourable judgment against the alleged perpetrator, with privileges and access to children often restricted.”
Senator Hanson said, “I have read submissions of what this does to a parent who simply wants to see or speak to their children. They hardly deserve the label of a domestic violence perpetrator for trying to be a loving, involved parent.”
The Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act also carries unintended consequences for police, blue card holders, military personnel, and the livelihoods of anyone who requires a gun licence.
“Again, we’re seeing partners who work in these professions threatened with domestic violence charges as a means to control the outcome of a separation settlement."
“I’m not asking for a watering down of charges for those people who physically or sexually abuse their partners. I’m seeking to amend the damage being caused by such a broad brush approach to domestic violence.”
“Sadly state by state laws surrounding domestic violence are too often acting against the best interest of the child.”
The Joint Select Committee report into Australia’s Family Law System will be tabled on Tuesday, 16th of March.
