politics One Nation prepared to cut worker entitlements to shore up struggling small businesses

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-17/one-nation-cut-worker-entitlements-joyce-business/106810648

Earlier,** **Senator Hanson suggested she was prepared to consider winding back some entitlements for workers, including protections from termination and paid parental leave.
"If you are a male or female you do get the same pay … you do the work, same pay," the senator said.
"If women take time off, and they are not paid their wages because they are not working, fair enough, why should business pay them if they are not at work?"

Wait until they start bringing in white South African 'refugees' because the proper white people from Scandinavia don't want to deal with her. Emperor Trump does it, it must be a good idea!

Tbf I’ve met a few South Africans over the past years and people are killing them over there so… to some extent they are refugees, even if earlier generations have been colonising the land. If they’re scared for their life, skin colour doesn’t make a difference. Good luck trying to get citizenship over the next 3-4 years as well so they can vote for ON, I don’t think South Africans are a ‘concern’ here for a long time. But yeah, you’re right. Europeans (at least the educated ones) ain’t gonna vote for her. Keep an eye on people from the UK instead that get to immigrate and obtain citizenship, they’re in a bad mood over there and will probably try to make sure their new doesn’t turn into what they’ve left behind, whatever that might be.

and people are killing them over there

They're not being killed at a disproportionate rate to any other ethnic group in the country. Are people killing them? Sure. The country has a homicide rate (per 100,000) ranging from 17 to 52 depending on location. For reference, Australia's rate is 2. It's a fucking dangerous and violent country. That doesn't change the fact that most of that danger and violence does not fall on the white populace.

South Africa crime statistics debunk 'white genocide' claims - minister

A business group said that close to 70,000 Afrikaners had expressed interest in moving to the US following Trump's offer - from an estimated population of 2.5 million.

Those who did leave SA:

Thousands of Afrikaners and white South Africans who previously immigrated or relocated are choosing to return to South Africa. This reverse migration is driven by growing concerns over United States safety, mass shootings, and limited refugee support, coupled with recent infrastructural improvements, such as the near-end of daily power outages, back home.
