One Nation supports fair trade, not free trade. The EU-Australia Free Trade Agreement is a sellout driven by globalists in Labor, the Greens, and the Teals.

This Agreement “sneaks” in powers over climate, gender, and social policy, bypassing our Constitution and giving foreign, "woke" NGOs (like George Soros’s Open Society Foundations) power to monitor Australian businesses.

It wipes out $1.5 billion in Australian tariffs, lets foreign companies bid on equal terms for government contracts and bans our producers from using traditional names like "feta."

It also targets essential diesel fuel refunds for farmers and miners, mislabelling them as "subsidies."

While Labor keeps the public in the dark about the details of this deal, One Nation’s stance is clear: Australians must decide our own future.

We need to exit foreign agreements like UN Net Zero and the Paris Accord, cut the fuel excise in half, and protect our local industries. ... See MoreSee Less

I questioned Ms Owen - the Inspector-General of Taxation - about the alarming Supreme Court of Queensland judgment in The King v Clarke, a 2017 case where the ATO pursued a fraudulent criminal prosecution regarding an R & D application.

I pointed out how the court ultimately threw the matter out and found that ATO officers had deliberately altered expense statements, provided misleading affidavits to secure search warrants, lied to the Queensland Bar, withheld emails, and ignored legitimate R&D spending.

I emphasised the sheer imbalance of power in this persecution: an innocent defendant forced to self-represent for over four years against a massive legal team comprising up to 12 people, including multiple barristers, the ATO and the Attorney-General, alongside numerous ATO staff.

I highlighted the fact that the court explicitly ruled the ATO undermined the defendant's right to silence, engaged in systemic oppression, and brought the administration of justice into disrepute. When I asked Ms Owen if we could reasonably conclude there is something deeply wrong within the ATO given these lengths of persecution, she admitted that the language in the judgment concerns her greatly and touched on the core integrity of the tax system.

However, she declined to comment further, noting that an appeal is currently underway. ... See MoreSee Less
