UniParty Cowardice

The Coalition are breathing a sigh of relief that they could feign moral support for an important Bill by Pauline Hanson. In reality, their Party is hopelessly divided.

I wish I had better news about the state of our Federal Parliament.

Unfortunately, it seems to get worse and worse every day with new disappointment from one or both sides of the UniParty.

Yesterday saw a Bill, introduced by Pauline Hanson, to formally acknowledge the biological reality of men and women and protect the rights of both sexes voted down in the Senate.

Hanson wrote on X:

The Albanese Labor Government, with the help of the Greens, and Senators Pocock and Tyrell, has just voted down my proposed legislation to acknowledge the biological reality of men and women and protect the rights of both sexes.

They did so without allowing any debate and without proper regard for normal parliamentary process.

Shameful, but as I warned this morning, not unexpected.

The Greens talk about hatred, but now, through their words today, their hatred of biological women is on display for all to see.

And shame on the Labor Party, because it has become a party too afraid to allow debate or acknowledge reality. If you cannot acknowledge reality, how can you govern a country?

Here's the video from the Senate justifying the ayes and noes of Hanson's bill.

However, there is a backstory that hasn't previously been discussed.
