The left like to dream of a more progressive future but what would that future really look like? While they like to imagine their perfect world will be all solar panels and sunshines history has shown us that when the left gets everything it dreams of then the rest of us are in for a nightmare.
Usually, you would need a crowbar to pry your average politician out from behind their desks and into the real world. That all changes come election time. Suddenly politicians rarely sighted outside the Canberra bubble are appearing on the front pages of magazines in awkward poses or blinding themselves as they mishandle welders in photo ops gone wrong. All in the name of political campaigning,
Today we venture into the murky world of red tape and bureaucrats, a place known as the Canberra swamp. Politicians fear the swamp but they also love to play in the swamp and they rely on voters not understanding how it works so they can get away with their dirty business. So pay attention and learn what you can because this will be one field trip you might never forget.
Disaster management, whether it is a natural disaster or a political disaster, is an important part of politics. But what does a party do when they have a leader who keeps stumbling from one disaster to the next? Desperate times call for desperate measures so join us for this week's episode of Pauline Hanson's Please Explain as we learn just how desperate politicians can get when dealing with disasters.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese is faced with a dilemma. How does someone win an election without any policies or vision? Luckily for Albo he just has to look to the campaign of American president Joe Biden for inspiration and guidance.
What's a government do when it has a problem? Throw money at it. But what can government do when it's a little strapped for cash? Hey, why not just print some more. What's the worst that can happen?
This week we will be touching on the events after the first week on the campaign trail.
The mainstream media, once upon a time it was known as the fourth estate. These days it’s more commonly called fake news. Journalists, fighting over fewer and fewer jobs, rush to ask cheap gotcha questions or write up lazy clickbait gossip articles, the pursuit of the truth long forgotten.
Voter fraud. What is it? How do they do it? How bad is it? How do we stop it? Democracy is a beautiful thing but what do you do when bad actors feel they know better than the voters?
Sorry if you are sick of politicians flooding the commercial during prime time or in between youtube videos but I have some bad news. With just over one week left before this election is over the worst is yet to come. So what better way to ready yourself for the oncoming attack ad overdrive and relentless promises for "a better future" than joining us to learn all about political ads.
Anthony Albanese is not taking his role as School Captain seriously and as a result, he is in for some serious trouble!
This week Albo and Chalmers have an important presentation on the economy but things are not going to plan. And Labor are not the only ones suffering, the Greens are in the middle of a split up and Adam Bandt isn't handling it well. Will Adam get over his heartbreak? Will Albo and Chalmers save the economy?
In this modern era of woe-is-me wokeness, there is one role all the lefties are desperate to play: the Victim.
This week on Pauline Hanson's Please Explain, a school excursion gets off to a bumpy start when one of the usual suspects gets in the way of traffic. However, amid the chaos comes a teaching moment as this creates the perfect opportunity to learn all about one of politics' most famous tactics- throwing someone under the bus.
Sometimes, working in Parliament House can feel like watching a bad reality TV show, especially since the Teals arrived. Their petty drama, delusion, infighting and entitlement really does make them the Real Housewives of Parliament Hosue.
There is a dark secret about Australian politics, a secret that many don’t want you to know. Underneath the parliament, from the shadows, a sinister force wields greater power over our nation‘s politicians. Some resist, vowing to serve the Australian people. Others such as “Peking” Paul Keating, have fallen and now serve this new master.
On today's episode of Please Explain, were taking a trip to the past alongside our hapless PM as his quest to rewrite our constitution starts getting desperate. Will our nation's founding fathers vote yes or no to Albo's race-based Voice?
While a National Disability Insurance Scheme to protect the most vulnerable sounds good on paper the reality is the NDIS has become a scandal-plagued, scam-riddled, budget disaster!
In today's crazy world, it can sometimes feel like you're living in a zombie movie. People are seemingly controlled to believe the most absurd things, acting in bizarre ways, as if controlled by a virus.
Captain Planet, he's a hero. The Greens want carbon at net-zero. After their policies are applied, will the Captain remain on their side?
A good budget is a lot like a comedy special, it all comes down to the delivery.
It's Scomo’s last day this week but don't worry he isn't planning on giving up on the taxpayer gravy train just yet. He's off to Centrelink. Can Scomo run the box-ticking gauntlet and claim the ultimate taxpayer funded prize?
What do you think happens when all that it takes for someone to "prove" they are indigenous is for them to tick a box?
There was once a time when movies were more than just another method for lefties to ram their political propaganda down your throat. These days art and entertainment have been relegated to minor roles with "progressive" politics playing the starring roles in every film.
Australia is suffering through a housing crisis and people want to know why.
The sky may not be falling but support for Albanese's voice is! Does this mean Labor will start treating Australians with respect and giving you some concrete details on their race-based referendum? Or will Labor resort to brainwashing, insults and blackmail?
You've all seen the headlines about "sex, lies and videotapes," you've seen the court battle unfold, you've watched Labor pay out millions, but do you really understand the fully story? The Higgins case helped bring down one Government, could it help bring down another?
Have you ever made a mistake? Have you ever wished you had the chance to set things right? What would you be willing to do to set things right? Would you be willing to admit you were wrong? These are the questions that Anthony Albanese will be forced to grapple with as he faces the consequences of his actions.
It looks like Australia could be headed for a recession. This means urgent measures are needed to balance the books. It's an end-of-financial-year sale and everything must go! Labor's morals? Gone! Broken promises? They're flying off the shelf! Tasmania? Sold to the highest bidder!
Rural and regional Australia is the engine room of Australia's economy. Without their farms, mines, resources and royalties, there is no Aussie way of life! So why does it seem politicians from the cities are able to shake the bush down for everything it's worth? Where are the ones who are supposed to fight for the bush to make sure they get their fair share, why haven't they been doing their job?
To most of us, the world is a complex, colourful, generally decent place. A place where people with different opinions and views can disagree but still respect each other. To the woke mob, the world is a dark and hateful place where everything that isn't black and white is a shade of bigotry and racism. What would it be like to see the world through their eyes?
Imagine a future where Labor had the power to force social media companies to remove unapproved opinions and posts that made Anthony Albanese look foolish, anything that Labor deemed "misinformation."
You might have heard about Albanese's Housing Bill, but how much do you really know about it? Are you aware of all the risks and fuzzy math that are hiding?
Remember when everyone agreed there were two genders, male and female. Remember when being male and female was a biological reality? Somewhere along the way, the left got a little confused about gender but today we are sorting it out once and for all.
Move over "climate change" there is a new buzzword in town: "global boiling." It seems the phrase "climate change" wasn't inciting as much panic and fear as the United Nations desired. "Global boiling," on the other hand – now there's a slogan that all the hysterical activists and climate grifters can truly hyperventilate over.
Albanese's new pharmacy rules are just another example of him misleading Aussies and shooting himself in the foot. Once again, a poorly thought-out policy implemented without proper consolation threatens jobs and well-being.
The Please Explain series was only ever slated to run for 20 episodes but we had so much fun making it we couldn't stop without giving everyone a little taste of what went on behind the scenes. We hope you enjoy this little peek behind the curtain and we hope you have found all 20 episodes of Pauline Hanson's Please Explain entertaining and informative.
Sometimes in politics, you are flying high but you should never get too comfortable because something can always bring you crashing back down to the ground. Anthony Albanese might have thought his cozy relationship with Qantas had only upsides and no downsides but there is no such thing as a free lunch.
We all know the Government is distracted by the Voice, but there is another distraction that has caused the government to drop the ball on power prices and the cost of living pressure for much longer: Net Zero.
We all know that the hosts of the left-wing shows that flood our nightly airwaves aren't coming up with all their own lines. No, they have a little voice in their ear telling them exactly what to say.
Australia has spoken, and Albanese's Voice has been defeated. Surely the Labor Government will accept this result and move on to important issues like an audit of the Aboriginal industry or dealing with the cost of living crisis?
Airbus Albo is missing in action! Isn't this the guy who promised never to go missing when things got tough and to always turn up to work? Instead, he's spent more time on tour than the Aussie cricket team!
The world runs on resources. Australia is the lucky country, we have abundant natural resources, and with them, we help power the world while creating jobs and bringing prosperity to our communities. But there are those who want to shut down the resource sector for their own ideological reasons. They will do whatever it takes, even if it means strangling the nation in red tape that isn't designed to increase safety or protect the environment, it's designed to shut things down.
With the year drawing to a close, the nation has been thrown into chaos. Albanese's inept government dropped the ball on national security and flooded the streets with criminals! Is it any surprise, then, that voters delivered the Albanese government some of the worst polling in a decade and branded the PM a 'Beta-Male'? Can Albanese turn things around? Will he accept any blame? Will he do the right thing? Or will he point the finger at anyone but himself and let the Greens keep walking all over him?
Pauline Hanson's 'Please Explain' is back, and we are here to warn you about Albanese's mission to distract! Labor wants you to forget about their broken promises, the rising cost of living, and our leaky borders, so they are ringing those Prime Ministerial wedding bells and cranking up the volume on some Taylor Swift tunes. It's good to be back!
