This coming Monday (July 18th) at 9:35pm AEST, Senator Elect Pauline Hanson will brave their ABC’s Q&A program, where a typically Left-leaning panel and an even more loaded left-leaning audience will await her.
Their ABC (amongst other establishment liberal media sources) have been busy pumping out media that panders to the tired old rhetoric that Pauline is a racist, islamophobic, bigot. True to form the regressive Left (namely prominent agitators associated with Socialist Alternative) have been organizing via Facebook to rally in order to shut down Pauline’s right to speak on the program.
For those unfamiliar with Socialist Alternative (Salt), they’re the scraggly sit-in, mantra chanting, flag-burning filth that go out of their way to shut down speech and assembly they don’t like. They do this by shouting over the top of opponent and using physical violence to rob their opposition of a platform.
While it hasn’t been the first time they’ve done this to Pauline Hanson, it certainly hasn’t been the first time they have found their way into the Q&A audience to berate and bully guests (such as the time Christopher Pyne had to put up with these rejects).
But as we know anytime their ABC opens up their broadcasting to the “broader public” they seem to regularly have these asinine agitators consuming the airtime (which is ironic because they always cry foul that they’re being denied a media platform).
Considering Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party has been the highest performing micro-party nationally (behind the Liberal, Labor, Nationals and Greens cartels), it would be a damning indictment of our democracy if the representative voice of hundreds of thousands of Australians were robbed of the right to speak to a national audience.
If you’re in Sydney on Monday and able to find your way to the ABC Studios at 700 Harris Street, Ultimo around 8:00pm to 10:00pm, there will be a vigilant counter-rally fronting up to oppose the Left-wings attempt to prevent Pauline from speaking.
