Following my push for a Royal Commission into our state and federal governments' responses to COVID-19, Rowan Dean, host of Outsiders and editor of the Spectator magazine, drafted a list of questions he would want a Royal Commission to answer.

I will keep pressuring the Government over this because otherwise Australians will never get the accountability they deserve. And this petition is your chance to put pressure on the government too.
Only a Royal Commission is likely to have the power necessary to compel the expert health advice Australian governments relied on to justify and implement pandemic measures—much of this advice has been hidden from the Australian people.
We need a Royal Commission because this inquiry must be completely transparent to the Australian public.
We need a Royal Commission because those who fail to learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.
Councils Need to Cut the Crap
From Senator Pauline Hanson
It's disgusting how much money local councils waste on progressive virtue signaling nonsense.
When I hear about thousands of dollars of people's money being thrown away by councils on "healing ceremonies" and other nonsense it makes me furious.
As I said to Paul Murray last night, councils should get back to focusing on things that actually matter, rates, rubbish, and roads!
How hard is that?
If they don't, then make sure you hold them to account and punish them at the ballot box!
By the way, if you are wondering what was wrong with my audio it is actually the sound of rain. It was bucketing down where I was last night!

The Digital Economy
From Senator Malcolm Roberts, Queensland
<[link removed]>
The Liberals have spent $1 billion on their Digital Economy Strategy.
The strategy aims to move everyone to an "access model", which is really a life by subscription. This is where the World Economic Forum (WEF) says you will "own nothing and be happy".
If the World Economic Forum is meant to be a ‘conspiracy theory’ why is the Federal Liberal Party copying its policies?
Scott Morrison’s ‘Trusted Digital Identity Bill’ is a copy-paste directly from the World Economic Forum’s Global Digital Identity Project – which is part of the digital transformative initiative.
It is designed to shift the global economy away from private ownership and into what the World Economic Forum calls an ‘access model’ where you own nothing and instead rent goods and services from the world’s billionaire corporations.
In other words, the goal of ‘digital identity’ is a ‘life via subscription’.
Without assets and ownership, Australians will have no power over government or the corporations that want to control their lives. In their eyes, this will help the world ‘live sustainably’, but in reality it is a form of slavery to a closed-loop economy where you have less and the rich have more.
The Liberals have already spent a billion of your dollars on their Digital Economy Strategy 2030. All they need to make the global socialist dream a reality is to pass the Trusted Digital Identity Bill.

The COVID Bedwetters Have Run Out of Beds to Wet
From The Hon. Mark Latham MLC, New South Wales
In Australia we haven’t got a Punxsutawney Phil but nevertheless, our long torturous experience with COVID has hit Groundhog Day.
We are back to April 2020 when, in the early days of COVID, it was clear that the strongest predictor of death from the virus was old age and pre-existing health conditions.
Squillions of statements from politicians and epidemiologists have done nothing to change this.
Lockdowns were counter-productive. They failed to kill off the virus, while closing down businesses and schools, causing distress and other medical issues for young people in particular.
Melbourne became the most locked down city in the world while Sydney’s three-week Lockdown lasted 107 days.
Our governments promised freedom for all through mass vaccination, saying this was the pathway to ‘living with COVID’.
But now, at 95 percent vaccination rates, there are tens of thousands of daily cases. Last year Gladys Berejiklian declared a ‘national emergency’ at just 150 cases – part of the panic of the political class.
Between 10 and 30 January this year, of the 625 people who died with COVID in NSW, 71.2 percent were fully vaccinated. This is well below public expectations about the life saving potential of vaccines.
By contrast, among the 625 deaths, 85 percent were aged 70 and over. Only 14 (or 2.2 percent) were younger than 50.
Mass vaccination hasn’t stopped the spread of COVID, nor prevented a higher death rate in 2022 than 2020 or 2021.
Its positive role has been in holding down hospital and ICU numbers.
But it hasn’t been the miracle weapon for ‘returning to normal’, as State and Federal leaders promised.
Vaccine mandates have backfired badly, causing staff shortages in hospitals, schools and the private sector. Supply chain problems have inevitably followed.
So here we are, waking up each morning in the same hotel room to Sonny and Cher’s 'I Got You Babe'.
Nothing has changed in 22 months. From the beginning, our COVID response should have been to isolate the old and sick until they were vaccinated, while the rest of society got on with life, work and education.
Where does this leave the COVID bedwetters, the Media Scare Machine (MSM) that has worked overtime in hyping up fear and exaggeration? In short, they have run out of beds to wet.
The failure of lockdowns and mandates and the under-performance of mass vaccination have left them with nowhere to turn.
This is true of the authoritarian Left and Right, both of whom have argued for elimination strategies and cheered on government coercion.
There was a time in the 1960s and 70s when Left-wing politics was associated with the struggle for individual freedom, seeking to liberate the disadvantaged from the anvil of state oppression. But this tradition has long passed.
Today we associate the Left with the ethos they formerly opposed: government power to control people’s lives.
A revealing aspect of the COVID period has been flushing out those on the Right who also favour state control over civil society.
Here I’m thinking of public intellectuals like Claire Lehmann and Gray Connolly, radio broadcasters Ray Hadley and Mark Levy and The Australian columnist Grace Katrina Kelly (aka Grace Collier).
They have supported Lockdowns and Vaccine Mandates as much as anyone from the ABC, The Project or Dan Andrews’ Politburo.
In October, Kelly-Collier declared “the future belongs to the vaccinated and also to the most highly vaccinated places.”
Her nirvana is yet to arrive, as she is now complaining about “COVID chaos” and the way in which “governments have let the virus wash over us”.
Poor Grace can’t win. The States and Territories implemented her preferred policies and yet she’s still whinging. In effect, about herself.
It’s strange to believe that society’s problems can only be solved through direct government control of citizens; to downgrade the potential of personal responsibility, free choice and the sensible management of one’s own life.
In our highly educated and affluent society I had assumed that nanny-statism ran against the grain of growing personal self-reliance, that the current period of Left ascendancy was an aberration.
But the pandemic has shown otherwise. If voices from the Right have drunk the Kool-Aid of authoritarianism, what hope is there for winning other political and cultural struggles against the Left?
It’s a depressing prospect, a distinctly Australian challenge, given our unique history of state intervention going back to convict and colonial times.
Ultimately, fear is the natural ally of coercive government: convincing people their concerns can only be overcome by cradling in the arms of the nanny state. That in the face of anxiety, government can protect them better than they can protect themselves.
Fear has been a staple of post-war Australian politics, going back to the red/yellow communist peril of the 1950s and 60s.
More recently, scare campaigns (from both sides of politics) have been decisive vote shifters in the 1993, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2013, 2016 and 2019 Federal election campaigns.
COVID has been no different. Look at the ongoing popularity of Mark McGowan and Dan Andrews. Voters shaking in their boots have latched onto the security blanket of mask mandates, forced vaccination and being locked in their homes – even though there’s little evidence of these policies succeeding.
When people are fearful, support for the irrationality of State border closures and sacking of essential workers becomes possible.
With large slabs of society still petrified, Australia’s recovery from COVID will be slow and uneven.
Too many people have swallowed the propaganda and are afraid to leave their homes, to work, spend and travel.
The fear-mongering Left and Right have much to answer for what they have done to our country.
State News
From Rod Roberts MLC, NSW One Nation
A productive meeting this morning with Martin Rogers from the Taxi Council.
We are working towards ensuring that taxi license owners receive fair and proper compensation for their losses of NSW Taxi Licenses.
We need a viable, affordable, regulated and reliable taxi industry for all passengers in all areas of NSW.
Happy Birthday James
From Senator Pauline Hanson
<[link removed]>
My Chief of Staff James wanted to keep his birthday a secret, but I've always been open and honest with the public.
I didn't particularly want my wasp sting photos <[link removed]> put out, but as James says, you have to look at the funny side of things.
After working with James for 7 years, people have no idea the hard work he does behind the scenes, working with me and delivering outcomes for many Australians.
This is my way of acknowledging his efforts and contributions with the upmost respect.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!
From me, your colleagues, friends, family, and the team at Stepmates.
And if you don't like it, and don't see the funny side, stiff bikkies...
The Australian way of life is in danger.
It seems not even wall-to-wall COVID coverage can continue to mask the ever-growing scent of corruption engulfing governments in Australia. Look at the recent Crime and Corruption Commission scandal engulfing Palaszczuk's Queensland Labor Government
We know from the phone calls, emails, and from your responses at events and rallies, that Australia is waking up to the fact that we are all losing our basic rights and freedoms.
The next federal election is drawing closer and One Nation is getting candidates ready across Australia. If you are thinking about running and live in the Greater Sydney area, we'd love to hear from you.
Your voice will hold sway in the houses of Parliament in a way you've never held sway before. And as the people's voice in Parliament, we can finally do what's needed to change the status quo and protect our fundamental human rights and individual freedoms.
This next election is so important for Australia's future.
