Yet Another Hatchet Job on One Nation

The media really are sleazy scumbags.

Another day, another in the conga-line of increasingly desperate media attack pieces on One Nation. The media-political elite are clearly getting spooked out of their wits, as a genuine centre-right party emerges to challenge the uniparty establishment that has ruled the roost since WWII.

So, they’re pulling all their sleazy tricks. Most especially, verballing One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, then trying to use their false reporting to wedge other party MPs. It’s as obvious as it is tiresome.

One Nation’s West Australian senator, self-described “free speech absolutist” Tyron Whitten, says the Bondi terror attack proved there are “good and bad” Muslims, joining a growing number of party members refusing to endorse Pauline Hanson’s controversial statements about the community.

Senator Whitten’s move to distance himself from Senator Hanson’s statement that there were “no good Muslims” followed in the footsteps of firebrand MP Barnaby Joyce doing so last week, while One Nation NSW Senator Sean Bell also would not explicitly back his leader’s comments.

The legacy media couldn’t lie straight in bed.

Hanson never said there are “no good Muslims”. Here is what she actually said:

I’ll tell you what, I’ve got no time for the radical Islam, their religion concerns me because of what it says in the Quran. They hate Westerners, and that’s what it’s all about.

You know, you say, ‘O there’s good Muslims out there.’ Well, I’m sorry, how can you tell me there are good Muslims if jihad is ever called and people must understand this. Go and research, go and understand about this.
- Pauline Hanson

To further clarify her meaning, interviewer Sharri Markson asked:

Pauline, there are a lot of moderate Muslims in Australia who are as you put it ‘good Muslims’, but I think we agree that radical, extremist Islam that doesn’t support Australian values has no place here.

Pauline Hanson: Correct, I did mean that.

So, not once, anywhere, did Hanson say “no good Muslims”. Yet, that’s what the legacy media is reporting, in inverted commas, meaning that it purports to be a direct quote. That is, frankly, libel.

But it’s just the beginning of the legacy media’s campaign of lies.

The matter is a growing schism in the right-wing party, which has enjoyed a boom in the polls in recent months as voters shift away from the major parties.

Says who? The same lying legacy media.

Just as they’re lying about Barnaby Joyce ‘distancing himself’ from Hanson’s comments. As Joyce himself stated on Sky News, the sole source for that claim is that he hung up on a News Ltd journalist who called him as he was dealing with a fire on his rural property.

Even when One Nation MPs refuse to rise to their baiting, the legacy media spin that to their pre-fixed narrative.

Senator Bell also refused to say whether he endorsed Senator Hanson’s statement that questioned whether there were any “good Muslims”.

Asked by the Australian if he agreed with his leader’s statement last week, Senator Bell said only that One Nation was the single “major party serious about defending Australia from the threat of Islamic extremism”.

Bell also repeated what Hanson had said.

“So if you’re a Muslim, I expect you to be calling out the bad Muslims, the radical Muslims, like we are. And if you’re not, then I’m going to question which side of the fence you’re falling on.”

What reasonable person would disagree with that?

But, of course, the legacy media are not reasonable people.

Hence pathetic attempts at poisoning the well, like this:

Senator Whitten secured the final WA Senate spot in the May 2025 election, while Senator Bell’s entry into politics was more unconventional.

Chosen by the party to fill the casual vacancy left by elected pick Warwick Stacey – who gave up his spot due to health issues – the long-time One Nation staffer was parachuted into the seat from his home state of Queensland.

That is completely standard procedure in Australian politics, like it or not.

And his views would not be out of place in many mainstream Australian living rooms.

The cost of living and “protecting Australian values” underpinned his ideas.
“Australia is an Anglo-Celtic nation built on a foundation of Christian values. And that’s just the reality of it,” Senator Bell said.

“One Nation fundamentally rejects this idea of multiculturalism, and it’s in the party’s name. One Nation – we can be a nation of many races and ethnicities, but we must be a nation united under one culture and one flag.”

Globalist agendas were his other main target, starting with a withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. Questions about what other international pacts would come next were harder to answer, but Senator Bell said Australia too often “kowtows to foreign interests”.

Cue the screeching meltdowns from the chattering elites.
