FROM THE PUBLISHER – A NOTE TO OUR ONE NATION READERS

Thank you for engaging openly and honestly with our humble news source. We rarely see such frank engagement from a demographic that often sources its information from Sky News, or Facebook groups called something like ‘Aussie’s for Aussie’s.’ We’re grateful for your support.

The truth is this – many of our supporters are what you impolitely call ‘Leftie Communist Green Scum.’ I think that’s right. Please add a comment if you feel that misrepresents your intentions.

We welcome all our readers, including those people. Not only do they hold useful positions in academia, the media, health, education and business they also pay the taxes that prop up One Nation.

But we’re just a humble media outlet. That carries responsibilities, so we’re providing some suggestions to help make your input more valuable and help engender greater gravitas in the public discourse. That's engender, which is a word. Please don't be confused or triggered - we'll never talk about chicks with dicks here, unless we think it will create some outrage.

Here are some tips:

1. Please learn to use the apostrophe correctly. If you were home schooled by your anti-vaccer mum, you may have missed Grade Four. If that’s the case, then here’s the quick lesson: An apostrophe may indicate possession (Malcom’s cat), or an abbreviation (it’s, rather than it is). Don’t use it with plurals. Seriously folks, there are no such word as idiot’s or Leftie’s.

2. We have editors who monitor content online. If you copy and paste a comment like ‘they all look like Greens’ we’ll know you’ve copied someone else’s (note the possessive apostrophe) lame comment.

3. If you’re going to create an AI image, try not to make it as amateurish as your grannie was when she first discovered a word processor.

4. Knowledge is truth. But knowledge requires learning. Think ‘bout that.

5. Try to be original. Of the hundreds of comments on our previous post, most are the same. Yawn. We read them all, and we’re grateful for you supporting us. The more you post, the more the algorithm helps promote our business.

Today is the birthday of Harold Holt, one of Australia’s better Prime Ministers. You’ll be interested to learn that he opened the door to Asian migration, and even laid the groundwork for Paul Keating’s reforms.

Even though he represented the right wing of Australian politics. Were he alive today (he was abducted by a Chinese submarine in 1967) he’d be fu***ng horrified at the state of conservative politics. He'd probably even throw rocks at Pauline Hanson.

Do better.

ONE NATION REVEALS SENATE TEAM FOR TASMANIA

Although the next Federal Election is at least a year away, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party has announced its Senate team.

According to the party, opinion polling suggests One Nation has the electoral support to form government. And lead Senate candidate Lee Hanson says that success has meant the party has been able to pick and choose the best candidates to ensure success.

“We’re fielding the sort of candidates ordinary Aussies need in parliament,” Hanson said.

Hanson, who picks up a $183,000 salary to advise a Queenslander who was shoehorned into a NSW Senate seat, apparently lives in Hobart.

“With modern technology like fax machines and telephones, One Nation staff can work from anywhere,” she said in an emailed message to The New Examiner.

“And our new Senate team has the right blend of youth and experience to provide the representation Tasmanian’s (sic) deserve.

A quick summary of the team follows, clockwise from top left:

Storm Fellowes from inner Hobart is a mystic and trainee naturopath. She believes Tasmanians need to trust their instincts, and stop relying on Big Pharma to support personal health and wellbeing.

Darren Boswell from Adelaide is currently seeking new career opportunities, and says he will relocate to Tasmania when elected to the Senate.

Trent Cashion, an 18-year-old casual sandwich artist at Subway, believes he can show young Australians how anyone can succeed. “If I pick up a $283,000 Senate job, that will show the doubters,” he says.

Kye Langhorn from Queensland, who prefers to be known as “The Living Human Person Known as Kye L,” says he brings a healthy distrust of modern technology to the table, including rejecting vaccine technologies, windfarms, climate data, the benefits of 5G, and gender diversity. The Living Human Person Known as Kye L describes himself as a ‘professional activist.’

Franco Pellazotti, an immigrant based in Western Sydney, says migration needs to be stopped. A former taxi driver and retired pa******le, Pellazotti says he stands for Aussie values and a fair go.

And finally, Lee Hanson. Her mum is Pauline.

Hanson says the team will be out and about in coming months “except the four of us still based in mainland States.”

SANDY BAY ENTREPRENEUR LAUNCHES NEW LIFE COACHING BUSINESS

When Trenton Grey graduated from The Hutchins School in 2012, he couldn’t have envisaged that he would one day launch an enterprise aimed at helping people succeed, whatever the odds.

Grey, a member of the school’s winning hockey team in Grade 9, always knew he’d have a career in business. He laughs when we point out he was also voted "least likely to marry a Fahan girl" the same year.

“Dad, who’s a successful entrepreneur always said this – do what you love, and love what you do,” Grey told The New Examiner. “And I wanted to make money, and change people’s lives.”

“So, I didn’t pursue an academic career, choosing instead to leave school at the end of Grade Ten to sell online advertising for an Indian startup,” he said.

“That company went bankrupt and left me without pay or superannuation,” he said. “But that just motivated me to try even harder.”

Perhaps showing foresight unexpected of somebody so young, Grey’s next career move was into real estate, just as Tasmanian property prices began to skyrocket.

“It was great to start with,” he said. “My commissions in the first year were nearly enough to pay mum and dad back for my orthodontic work.”

“But the market changed, and rich mainlanders were only prepared to buy property from older women with a facelift and bobbed hair.”

“And I was expected to work on weekends.”

Grey says his new business, backed by his parents, will leverage his life experience to help people success in business, and in life.

“My business career has seen highs and lows, but my clients can learn from both.”

At the launch this week, attended by many of Tasmania’s business and political leaders, Grey had this to say:

“Anybody can succeed in Tasmania – it just takes the right attitude, and a can-do mindset.”

A couple of people have suggested we made up the writings of Malcolm Roberts. As if we'd do such a thing.

It's a slow news day, so if you're looking for something entertaining to read, here's a link to the full affidavit sent by Malcolm Roberts to Julia Gillard. Happy days.

Evidence that Malcolm Roberts isn't just a science denier, anti-semite, flat-earther, covid conspiracist and chemtrail weirdo, he's also a Sovereign Citizen.

Let's agree he's barking mad, just like Pauline. What a party!

NUTGROVE RESIDENTS DEMAND ACTION ON ‘INAPPROPRIATE’ DOGS

Sandy Bay Beach is at risk of being swamped by large dog breeds, with some locals saying the owners don’t even appear to be residents of the area.

Sally Bayliss, a retired teacher and Nutgrove resident for over 50 years, says recent events have made her fearful of taking her Shih Ttzu, Lulu, to her local dog park.

“Earlier this week we were enjoying some exercise, when a big, ugly dog barked at Lulu,” Miss Bayliss told The New Examiner.

“After that, Lulu was too scared to even get out of her pram,” Miss Bayliss said. “And given the looks of the dog’s owner, he doesn’t even live locally.”

Another resident, retired Pharmacist Peter Dalgleish, shared similar experiences.

“I have two miniature dachshunds, and it isn’t fair they have to share the space with larger, more energetic breeds,” he said.

“This is a small, close-knit community and we value spending time together. That amenity is diminished when out-of-towners bring their lesser breeds of dog here and disrupt our quiet enjoyment of the park.”

“I understand the importance of diversity in the canine community, but sometimes segregation is necessary to preserve our values,” he said.

Mr Dalgleish said locals were forming a community action group, and planned to petition the council to rectify the problem.

“Perhaps Sandy Bay’s parks could be kept just for residents, or dog breeds could be limited to smaller, and/or hypoallergenic breeds.”

A WORD FROM OUR PUBLISHER

Our publisher is concerned at the sheer number of buffoons commenting on a recent post by The New Examiner.

In summary, people seem to support Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party, despite it being represented by certified loons like Malcolm Roberts and religious freaks like Corgi Bernardi.

It's worth spending a few minutes of your time watching a clip from the ABC's Q&A recorded a decade ago, where Roberts 'debates' client change with scientist Brian Cox (link in the comments).

In short, Roberts maintains the earth was hotter in the 1930s than it is now, and anyway, the data has been corrupted by NASA, with the help of a global Jewish banking cabal.

Let's get up to date shall we?

Since that clip was recorded, things have gotten hotter. The hottest eleven years on record have been the last eleven years. Think about that.

Parts of the Middle East are becoming uninhabitable - and not only because the region is overrun with goat-rooting Jihadists. The area is also running out of water, and temperatures are rising at twice the global average. People in overcrowded cities can't survive in temperatures above 52 degrees.

I find Brian Cox more than credible, but I suspect his chances of getting Malcolm Roberts to understand science are akin to Cyril the Goat learning fluent Swahili.

It's terrifying to think of any political system where the likes of Malcolm Roberts had a say in making legislation.

If we had to choose a Science Minister, I'd give my vote to Brian Cox. The man has a Doctorate in Physics from the University of Manchester, and he's currently Professor of Particle Physics at the same institution.

He's also a half-decent musician, playing on stage with the likes of New Order.

Please think carefully about the politicians you support.

ONE NATION’S PLAN FOR TASMANIA’S HEALTH SYSTEM

Millions could be cut from Tasmania’s health budget, according to One Nations’s science expert, Malcom Roberts.

Roberts, whose qualifications include a Cert III in Mining Science from Cessnock TAFE, says expensive procedures like anaesthesia and organ surgery would not be necessary if poisoned blood had been removed from unwell patients.

“We shouldn’t dismiss the knowledge of people from the early Medieval Period,” Roberts said.

“If blood-letting hadn’t been a common practice during the Plague era, there’s a chance nobody in Europe would be left alive.”

“Which means Europe would be been over-run by blacks and Muslims, just like it is today,” he said.

Roberts was quick to reject suggestions he was an Islamaphobe.

“Muslim culture has much to applaud, particularly their penchant for throwing homosexuals off tall buildings,” he said.

“But Tasmanian g**s have little to worry about, as the Greens won’t approve any buildings above two stories.”

The New Examiner’s recent polling shows the following support should an election be held tomorrow:

Liberal – 22%
Labor – 18%
One Nation – 19%
Greens – 16%
Informal – 22%
Boris, the hermit from Cygnet – 3%

Boris, who hasn’t ruled out a coalition with One Nation and the Greens, says he needs to consult his pet goat, Cyril, before making further comment.

"NO CURRENT PLANS" TO REINTRODUCE WHALING - GOVERNMENT

(from our archives)

Tasmania's Deputy Premier has denied there are immediate plans for commercial whaling to make a comeback in the state, despite making a $250,000 innovation grant to a whaling company.

News of the payment to Southern Right Foods, a Perth-based startup, comes on the same day Hobart residents were treated to the rare appearance of a whale in the River Derwent.

"Unlike the Opposition and the Greens, a Liberal government will always support businesses with the potential to generate jobs and growth," Guy Barnett said earlier today.

Southern Right Foods is currently raising up to US$10 million in offshore capital markets, saying the funds will bring Tasmania's clean, green whale meat to the world.

Barnett said any application for a commercial whaling licence would have to meet the world's most stringent guidelines set by the Resource Management Planning & Appeals Tribunal.

And the Minister also refused to rule out allowing recreational whaling, saying it could provide a solution to the safety hazards posed by whales in the busy Derwent estuary.

"It could provide an entire new tourism experience," Barnett said.

"Not just that, but imagine helping to make the estuary safer, by heading out in your tinnie and harpooning a Southern Right Whale?" he said.

"Even a baby one would keep a family fed for months".

Whaling remains an sustainable industry worldwide, Barnett told The New Examiner, generating millions of much-needed jobs.
