Live: Pauline Hanson's press club address interrupted by protest banner

  Hanson has questioned why people working in childcare centres need university degrees to work with children.

  I was a mother of four children. I didn’t have a university degree to look after my children, Hanson says.

  Why do we now expect these childcare centres to have students or people with some sort of degree to look after a child? It’s just got out of proportion. It’s just ridiculous.

  Because we don’t want our kids to turn out like fucking idiots like you, Jesus fuck.

  I do have to question if that is giving her more attention, eg. “interrupted by protest banner” vs “Pauline Hanson’s press club address” really what we want?

  PHON is not a problem that can just be ignored, considering that capitalist mass media is constantly promoting her and the party is regularly claiming polls and some election results of >20%. We are past the era of denying attention. If we’re lucky, we’re still in the era of education and inoculation against their propaganda.

    Where are you seeing promotion from the mass media? Not just like reporting on what she says but actually promoting her

      Fair call, promotion wasn’t the best word. What I meant to say was, they give her airtime without criticism - I’d say that’s a form of support, for a similar reason to your concern about giving her attention. Even if we’re talking about cases where the reporting is neutral, factual and with minimal bias, it’s still selected and reported on regularly, and that shapes the worldview of the audience, especially if the heavily-flawed ideas Hanson espouses aren’t addressed in the reporting. Repeating their messages verbatim through a megaphone is spreading their ideas - outlets almost never do the same with open neo-Nazis’ speeches, for obvious reasons.

      And as is common knowledge, there are additionally some mass media favourably promoting PHON, like Sky News.

  I despair for this country. We’ve watch Trump ruin the USA and cause economic pain across the world and the voting public and the media are just. Cool. Our turn!

    and the media are just. Cool. Our turn!

    and this makes plenty of sense once we inspect the owning shareholders of media corporations. Protip: it’s owning-class ultrawealthy parasites, same as in the USA

  So many idiots on Facebook saying the person who did it should be arrested for breach of security and organised crime and such. “What if it was a bomb”

  It wasn’t a bomb, and anyone can sign up to attend the press club, so its not like it’s a private area

  And it’s weird to watch the same people calling everything a nanny state lose their minds because of a poster demanding police to throw every obscure law they can here.

  In fact, it’s scary to watch this overreaction because it shows what we should expect if she wins

  Gina Reinhart is her biggest donator, that should explain enough.
