The Turning Point

,

“First, they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.”

The author of this commentary on social change wasn’t Gandhi. Its 1918 author was unionist Nicholas Klein, on the successful struggle to establish fair working conditions in America’s textile industry.

I’m reminded of this aphorism daily by constituents who draw a parallel with One Nation’s recent progress. For One Nation, the ‘burn you’ part has started amongst the media, politicians, corrupted union bosses, and crony capitalists.

Well, good luck with that!

Last weekend drew a sellout crowd of 600 to the Albury Entertainment Centre for the preselection of our Farrer by-election candidate, David Farley. The people have decided that our Western heritage is worth fighting for, and so has One Nation. I ask you to look past the character assassinations, the lies, and spin trying to demonise One Nation and vote for the only party that has your back.

Together we can restore wealth, prosperity, and opportunity to all who are here, including our young, who have been penalised the worst by successive Liberal, National, and Labor party governments that work for the benefit of their financial backers rather than everyday Australians.

Senator Roberts: One hundred and twenty-six years ago, history said: 

“First, they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.” 

The author of this commentary on social change wasn’t Gandhi. Its 1918 author was unionist Nicholas Klein on the successful struggle to establish fair working conditions in America’s textile industry. I’m reminded of this aphorism daily by constituents who draw a parallel with One Nation’s recent progress. For One Nation, the ‘burn you’ part has started amongst the media, politics, corrupted union bosses and crony capitalists. Well, good luck with that! 

Last weekend drew a sellout crowd of 600 to the Albury Entertainment Centre for the preselection of our Farrar by-election candidate, David Farley. The people have decided that our Western heritage is worth fighting for. Julius Caesar described our Celtic forebears as barbarians and noted their ferocity and individual courage that at times lacked discipline and order. How true are those words today, from the courage of our leader Pauline Hanson to the fierce determination that One Nation members show across our country? We do from time to time demonstrate a lack of discipline, which is a strength. It’s our certificate of authenticity from a party that puts Australia first. 

As for barbarians at the gate, One Nation does not seek validation from people who turn their backs on everyday Australians and govern from feelings, not facts. Poor governance has resulted in our young being disenfranchised from housing, from breadwinner jobs and from children. Labor and the Greens have destroyed private jobs growth and small business, created ruinous inflation and made people’s lives far harder. A common Celtic battle cry translates to ‘fierce when roused’, perfectly describing everyday Australians of all nationalities now flocking to One Nation. (Time expired)

Kick Labor out of Bundamba

Let’s kick Labor out of Bundamba at this Saturday’s by-election.

Here’s why.

Transcript

There’s a by-election for the state, Queensland state seat of Bundamba this coming Saturday, the 28th of March. And there’ll be pre-poll every day leading up to that at five particular booths.

For those who don’t know in Bundamba, the Labor Party has a commitment to make Ipswich into Tipswich, with massive, new incinerators, massive new dumps, super dumps.

One Nation’s Sharon Bell, candidate, opposes that. Labor’s electricity gouging has really hurt Queensland families and individuals and businesses.

It’s exported jobs overseas to foreign countries which burn our coal at a far cheaper rate because they don’t have the government impost and the subsidies for stupid intermittent energies like solar and wind.

So you’re paying for this green fantasy that Annastacia Palaszczuk is driving and taking money out of family wallets, taking jobs out of Ipswich and Bundamba. Sharon Bell will fight to reverse that.

And then the corruption. Everyone knows about the corruption in Ipswich. Labour Council for many years and Jo-Ann Miller was the previous member of Bundamba and she fought very hard to remove that corruption, to expose it.

She spent 16 years and they bullied her and intimidated her. So Labour, is the bulliers. Make sure that people in Bundamba vote to end the corruption in Queensland that extends from Ipswich right through to the Queensland state parliament.

Jo-Ann Miller did her best. She’s fiesty, she’s strong, she’s honest, she’s courageous. But they belted at her. And now, to replace Jo-Ann Miller, Labour is putting up a candidate that is a blow in from Melbourne.

He’s only arrived in the state a few months ago and he was put onto a job, paid more than $200,000 a year on a government agency. How’s that? He’s in favour of the dumps.

He’s not gonna be doing anything about the corruption because he won’t know where to start. And he’s not gonna stop electricity price gouging. Sharon, though, Sharon is just like Jo-Ann.

Fiesty, honest, strong. She listens and like Jo-Ann, she will expose the corruption and she will get stuck into the basic issues for Bundamba. She’ll make sure that we don’t have any more privatisation on her watch.

She’ll make sure that privatisation, by the way from both Liberal and Labour. She’ll make sure, as a mother of three, that she pursues basic education, restoring education standards.

No more political correctness with Sharon Bell. A basic down-to-earth person. So on Saturday and in the pre-polling, make your vote count. Sharon Bell, number one for Bundamba.

And make sure to make your vote count, that it’s formal, that you put two, three, and four in the other boxes. Put ’em in any order you like because you’re the owner of the preferences.

So if you liked Jo-Ann Miller, vote Sharon Bell, number one for Bundamba. If you like Bundamba and its people, vote Sharon Bell for Bundamba. She lives there. She knows the issues. And if you love Australia, vote Sharon Bell, one for Bundamba.
