Hanson is ranked 48th out of 54 on the “likeability ladder”, and Barnaby is ranked 53rd (yes, second worst) out of 54.
If that is “zooming up” the likeability ladder, what would “zooming down” look like?
According to the SMH journo, "Joyce’s popularity has soared” (yet also 2nd last in 2024).

The Albanese govt should investigate the Israeli regime's foreign interference:
- deliberate & dangerous conflation of antisemitism with legitimate criticism of the genocidal, apartheid state
- targeting of Australians like Omar exercising free speech

You know what, I’m feeling marginally less flippant about this insanity now that I know I’m on a list in a dossier prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs as a “key influencer” of antisemitism. This is munted.
