It's as crazy as ABC.

What a fantastic show of how to dodge the issues at hand

Let’s start by making the ABC a subscription channel so all Australians can enjoy it - that way we do not waste Australians tax payers money? Then start on the Creative Australian wastage.

So if you reverse the situation And you had persons bagging out Labor ,then you would fund it ? Hahaha not likely

So hate speech is okay if it’s considered art

".. well you are now.." He looked like he was having his own " poetic" Oh Fruck moment. ❣️

There should be no money going to kinder garden art projects 😂

Well Done Malcolm. Keep up the good work!

Creative Australia-The organisation has since acknowledged gaps in its contracts and is reviewing policies to allow termination of grants when artists engage in hate speech or extremist advocacy The organisation needs to ensure it meets societal norms.

Are you prattling about Gina's portrait? Art captures what the eye does not see. In that sense it was as if she was in the room.

Wow! Restore integrity and accountability! 🥰🙏☦️💝 We are predominantly a Christian country. We do allow others their choice of spiritual worship within their own communities, not to be demanded that Christianity should bow down to it, but accept that there are spiritual nuisances that need to discerned and any negative connotations should not be subjected to the wider community. As for LGBTQR, sexualising preferences are a private matter, that is why they are referred to as intimate. Sexualising preference should not become a public display to be celebrated! I don't see heterosexuals having madigras about their choices. Madigras have been accepted for too long! Young minds need to be protected, firstly by their parents, secondly as a duty of the greater community. No one should be shamed, even if they choose differently to the status quo. We are all under the banner of humanity, and this must have its protective boundaries for the greater good of all.💝☦️🙏🥰

Freedom of expression is ok and publicly funded unless it’s an expression or views the government don’t agree with in which case you can go to jail for expressing them.

How bout our Aussie culture? 🤡🤡 Go ON 🧡💪🇦🇺 Thank you Malcolm

Tax payers should get our money back!

Not when it involves hate

Why are we paying for this crap? Any artist worth his or her salt would be able to pay their own way in life. Maybe if they did they wouldn’t have so much time to spend going to the ubiquitous protests in our ever growing and divisive country.

Absolutely correct there

Shut them down and DEPORT ALL OF THEM NOW.

Wait… let me get this straight.. you’re critical of divisive political messaging. Is that right? Fn hilarious

Oh God save us from a world in which One Nation gets to decide what is and isn't our culture. 🙄

Great questions Malcolm....these things are slights against Australia and Australian life....it needs to be rebalanced and fund itself. Please don't use my taxes for this disgusting abuse of our beautiful country.

Art is intended to be thought-provoking ❄️. I love that the so called defenders of free speech are the most vocal censors.

So why is the government stopping free speach

How about no donations/grants from federal, state, local government. Lower the tax and let us decide where we donate our hard earned dollars.

She spoke very well.

Can’t stop noticing how big the chairs look behind him. 😂 Malc on a shelf. 😂

I hear that under ON every house will get a large pot, a wand, a bag of herbs and a guide to magic spells to cure all ills.

He is an Engineer by training NOT a doctor. On what basis is he proposing to review the medications ?

Do we need to check with Pauline if this is correct? You never know what/who to believe out of ON.

Not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog that counts. Don’t under-estimate him.

But the policy statement on one nations site speaks on reviewing all meds approved during that time and the figure of $3billion which is higher than the 2 listed here (the 3rd is IV so falls more under the hospital budgets than pbs)so the messaging isn't really very clear. Why wouldn't you put the statement as reviewing those 3 drugs.

I’m sure you will cooker

Truth? Surprising you can spell it

So why leave the door open rather than saying your are just reviewing 3 drugs?

I would dearly love to know what kind of expertise Roberts has over the TGA.

On record from the National Press club, Hanson stated the 3billion PBS would be reviewed also TGA would be abolished.

So by reviewing those 3, you eould potentially remove them for the alternatives? Which would then make the piece truthful and youna liar?

What's the purpose of the review?

When you're cooked your cooked. And lets be honest Senator Malcolm Roberts is about as cooked as you can get

One Nation said some medicines would go from the PBS

A “sensible review” is just you saying you’ll remove subsidies for medications you don’t like

I thought senators were required to stand while speaking in the senate?

You are at odds with your boss. But then aren't the entire team.

We're so lucky to have our own mini RFK Jr.

What did der Fuhrer say at the National Press Club?

but when it comes to the vote, we know what to expect from this mob

I’m sure I heard PH say they would review and remove some medication from the PBS when she spoke at the Press Club

Probably should put that kind of thing up front so no one gets the wrong idea.

The fake news theatre is getting warmed up.

He needs all the medication he can get obviously….

When the telephone service and electricity were government owned, the service was both more reliable and cheaper.

I laugh every time I see little Mal from Mumbai post. Keep us laughing little guy.

For a short while, I thought this was a parody page; nobody would really be so absurd. Turns out I was wrong. The absurdity lives...

So funny! I can picture it all!

Roberts comic delivery was perfect. 🤣😄

WA has state run power and gas. We have a reliable supply for the most part with bills being nowhere near as expensive as the Eastern States ... because our state governments didn't sell us out.

And who would be in the Politburo…?

The difference between reality and fantasy!!

I agree the Greens are not the ones we want in charge of those essential services... But. I truly believe actual essential services (electricity, water, sewerage etc) should never have been privatised. That doesn't mean private commercial operators couldn't compete in the same markets, or sell their product to the state owned services. Privatising anything always ends in profit over service.

Senior Robert’s I love everything you say in parliament.

John Cleese said the best new stand-up comedy shows in OZ.

Actually love this description 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fucking funny but very true

I believe essential services should be state controlled not owned by conglomerates who are only in it for profits. The time when electricity, postal and telecommunications were state owned, services were much cheaper.

So you want us to have more expensive power? Because that's what privatisation has delivered. On one hand you moan about how expensive power is driving out industry, and on the other hand you want even more for-profit private involvement in the sector. Maximising profit and maximising affordability of utilities are fundamentally oppposing concepts. Look at WA's example...they told the gas giants to shove it if they didn't agree to a domestic reserve, and they came crawling and grovelling back. And WA has power and gas much cheaper than the East Coast as a result.

Remember when the LNP told us that privatisation would create competition and save customers money? Remind us, how did that work out?

Classic strawman arguments and sensationalism from a sad little man.

As always good to listen to the truths you speak.

It's working for Mamdani, we just need to tax the rich to make these things work.

State owned essential services were part of the Australia I grew up in, the same Australia ON professes to mourn the passing of.

The old argument, private industry can do it cheaper. Not according to my bills.

I think nationalising essential services is a great idea. Saying that the way energy would be nationalised would probably be different to how supermarkets would be. I think it would be healthy for the government to provide essential services to Australians because these big companies are ripping us off.

Great work Senator Malcolm Roberts 👍

Privatisation of essential services has a pretty awful record - the case for public ownership of natural monopolies is very strong.
