Warren Pickering, One Nation’s Victorian state leader, has a story of personal redemption. Warren does not deny the mistakes he made as a young man. He openly acknowledges his past drug use, drink-driving offences and failures as a father, and he expresses genuine regret for the hurt those choices caused his children and the people he loved when he was younger. Rather than asking to be excused or judged as blameless, Warren accepts responsibility for his past and asks to be judged by the man he has worked to become. Warren’s character is reflected in his willingness to own his mistakes, rebuild his life, serve his country, stand by his family and face public scrutiny with honesty. Warren says he stopped using drugs before joining the Australian Defence Force and credits his military service with giving him the discipline, purpose and direction he had been missing. He joined the ADF in 2013, held a Negative Vetting Level 2 security clearance, served operationally in eight countries and remains in the standby reserves. That service helped Warren understand that supporting others gave his life meaning and later inspired him to pursue community and political service. His commitment to his family is also central to his story. Warren assumed custody when his children needed care, remained involved in the lives of his daughter and stepsons, and tried to support their mother’s recovery. His daughter and stepson stood beside him at the press conference, while his stepson spoke of the difference Warren had made to their lives, expressed respect for the person he had become and said he forgave him. Warren’s greatest regret is that he could not give his children the childhood they deserved, but the close relationship he now shares with them points to the effort he has made to repair that harm. He has faced painful questions in public, answered them directly and accepted that voters must weigh both his past and the life he has led since. As One Nation said at the press conference, “One Nation does not grow its candidates in petri dishes like Labor and the Liberal Party. They come from lived experience.” The major parties should reflect on their own shortcomings before condemning a man who has acknowledged his failures, rebuilt his life and demonstrated through his family, military service and community involvement that people can change. Warren’s story shows a man who confronted his mistakes, changed the direction of his life and chose not to remain defined by the worst decisions of his youth. I encourage you to watch his press conference in full and make your own judgement.

A government that cannot be trusted to tell Australians the truth should not be given more power over what Australians can see and say online. How are Australians supposed to call out Labor’s lies if the government can pressure platforms to silence its critics and restrict free speech? All this talk from Albanese about a digital duty of care and controlling algorithms is just cover for what it really is: a Chinese Communist Party-style internet censorship bill. Australians should call their local MP and tell them this bill stinks.

I trust Australians to decide how their own money can help them most. One Nation’s voluntary three per cent super pay boost would give eligible renters and owner-occupiers more take-home pay for up to three years, around $44 a week for an average full-time worker or $82 a week for a working couple. Employers would still pay the full 12 per cent, existing super balances would remain untouched, and at least nine per cent would stay invested for retirement. Australians need help keeping a roof over their heads now, not another lecture from Labor about waiting decades to use their own money.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers wakes up everyday dreading the next social media post he makes because he knows he’ll be smashed by thousands of comments calling out Labor Lies. Minister Wells complains that Australians don’t believe her after Labor’s Lies. Senior public servants being paid more than the Prime Minister are complaining about their embarrassing answers being shared on social media. This is a government that hates transparency and hates being accountable to the Australian public. Labor hates Australians having the ability to voice their disagreement on social media. After losing a safe Labor seat in the Secret Harbour by-election, the government is desperately trying to censor the internet to keep their jobs and their grip on power.

Labor is copying the Chinese Communist Party’s censorship playbook. China learned long ago that you don’t need to censor every citizen, you just need to create a culture of fear and make the platforms do it for you. These tactics have been used by authoritarian regimes across the world to gag their political opponents time and time again. The powers will make sure social media companies feel the only option is to over-censor. The Minister and e-Safety Commissioner get open-ended power to classify anything as harmful. Today that’s harm to children’s safety. But tomorrow these powers will be abused to censor complaints about immigration because they harm Labor’s version of “social cohesion”. There are some issues on social media. But this can’t be an excuse to bring in a China-style censorship regime. Social cohesion under Labor means sit down, shut up and don’t complain. Treasurer Jim Chalmers wakes up everyday dreading the next social media post he makes because he knows he’ll be smashed by thousands of comments calling out Labor Lies.

After losing a safe Labor seat in the Secret Harbour by-election, the government is desperately trying to censor the internet to keep their jobs and their grip on power. Labor knows they can’t win the debate, so they’re changing the rules and making social media companies gag you. One Nation says no to Labor’s censorship power-grab. Australians have the right to have their say.

Labor lost a safe seat to One Nation in Western Australia. Instead of asking why voters abandoned them, Labor immediately blamed social media. They clearly fear Australians talking to each other online. They clearly fear people calling out their Labor lies. Instead of reflecting on themselves, Labor has now moved urgent legislation so they can censor what you can see and say online. That is the instinct of an authoritarian regime. It follows in the footsteps of Iran, China, Russia and Myanmar. There is nothing this lying Labor government won’t do to hold onto power.

Superannuation is your money. The world kept spinning when the compulsory rate was 9% just a few years ago and One Nation is giving workers the choice to go back to that for three years. The additional 3% would go directly into your bank account, helping you pay rent, the mortgage or groceries. That helps you deal with inflation, while cutting government spending and the trillion dollar debt will help to bring down inflation. Its your money, it belongs to you, not the Government or the super funds.

Tonight, One Nation voted against Labor’s outrageous CGT tax discount for foreign investors backing “swindle factories”. This year’s Labor Budget stripped the same CGT concessions from Australians and Australian businesses. Labor’s actions are to give foreign-backed developers tax breaks, while Australians pay more. When the final vote was called, the Liberals voted with Labor, and Nationals were absent from the chamber. One Nation was there. One Nation voted no. Only One Nation can be trusted to stop Labor’s Net Zero agenda and put Australians first.

Labor thinks superannuation is their 'national asset' to tax or use to pay off the trillion dollar debt. One Nation says it is your money, and if you're struggling with the cost of living you should be able to use it as a 3% pay boost. Employers will keep paying the full 12% on top of your wage. At least 9% will remain invested for retirement, while 3% can be paid directly by the super fund into your bank account. A full-time worker earning about $90,500 could receive around $2,300 a year, or $44 a week, after tax. A family earning a combined $240,000 would receive $7,200 a year before concessional tax and about $6,120 a year, or $118 a week, after tax. One Nation is the only party talking about putting more money back in your pocket to help with your mortgage, rent or groceries.

One Nation will give Australians paying rent or a mortgage the choice to take one quarter of their future super contributions as a tax-advantaged 3% pay boost for up to three years. Australians are being smashed by Labor’s cost-of-living crisis. This gives them the choice to have more of their own money now, when they need it, not decades from now. See the media release and the full policy explainer with details here.

No matter how much Labor spent in the Secret Harbour by-election, it turns out voters no longer trust Labor. They trust One Nation. The Australian Financial Review revealed this week that Labor poured more than $400,000 of their members' money into the once-strong Labor-held seat. One Nation’s new MP, Luke Herdegen, on the other hand, took a fiscally responsible approach to campaign spending and pulled off the historic win with a campaign budget of less than $65,000. In other words, One Nation gets better bang for your buck when it comes to winning seats in parliament. In this instance, we won the seat of Secret Harbour and spent 84% less than our two-party-preferred counterpart. At the last federal election, Labor spent just under $116 million dollars. That equates to roughly $773,000 spent in each lower house electorate. The coalition spent $131 million. That’s roughly $873,000 per electorate. While we know how to get better results for less, we still need to continue our fundraising efforts ahead of the 2028 federal election. Every dollar counts! The investment you make in One Nation will help us 'Fire the Liar', destroy Labor, and take our country back! We know how challenging times are right now, so only give where you can. From the whole team at One Nation, your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Anthony Albanese says One Nation is “dangerous, divisive and downright dishonest”. He says some parties will “say anything and do anything to win votes”, “bend any facts” and “peddle misinformation and disinformation”. This clown needs to hold up a mirror to himself. This is a Prime Minister who routinely lies to Australians. He tells people struggling to pay their mortgage, rent and grocery bills that the country is in “good shape”. Now he wants his government to have more power over free speech. There are genuine social problems associated with social media. But the answer is not giving a government like this the machinery to decide what is misinformation, what is dangerous and what Australians should be allowed to see, say and share. Australia should be moving away from government censorship, not building the Orwellian machinery for it. China does it. Iran does it. Russia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Myanmar do it. Now Albo wants to build it here. There is nothing this liar will not do to hold onto power.

While you are struggling to pay your bills, this is what the Albanese Labor government is spending your money on on: Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen has spent more than $6m on ritzy hotel ­accommodation around the world in just a few months, ­including two bookings of $2m each for his pre-COP31 meetings in Fiji which have been panned by critics after a series of high-profile snubs. Meanwhile, DCCEEW records also disclosed $283,976 for Mr Bowen’s trip to Bonn, Germany, for a booking at Living Hotel Kanzler for just six days from June 7 to 12. The Daily Telegraph revealed last month Mr Bowen slugged taxpayers more than $340,000 to travel the world to spruik his net-zero ambitions, spending an ­average of $7500 a day on travel across a grand total of 46 days abroad.

Jim Chalmers blames uncertainty and conflicts on the other side of the world. The problem is economic incompetence right here in Canberra. Migration: up. Inflation: up. Rates: up. Rents: up. Groceries: up. Australians are doing it tough. Why is Jim celebrating?

I’m on a fact finding mission here in the UK and each day I’ve lined up meetings with those who are willing to talk to me about where the UK went so wrong with its immigration. Why? Because I see the same problems in Australia and I’ll be damned if I let our country go the same dreadful path the UK has. Rape gangs, violent enclaves, sharia law courts, Islamic inspired terrorism, extremist religious views, cities where most women wear burkas. No thanks. That’s not what I want for Australia. Each day I’ll bring you a sneak peak of my visit before putting out a long format video once I’m home. In the meantime, I sat down with this brave man, Tommy Robinson. A man who has always had the best interest of his nation at heart. We met for the first time yesterday afternoon (London time) to do his podcast which will come out over the next few days.
