The leader of Australia's fastest growing political party has released another groundbreaking piece of populism.
Pauline Hanson has revealed that if she becomes the Prime Minister of Australia, she will be defund the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Growing in popularity with people who live in regions that turn to highly specialised local news on ABC radio and tv during bushfires and floods when all other organisations go silent due to a lack of media investment, Hanson says the ABC can pay it's own way under her watch.
The move popular with people who spend too much time on the internet and the comments sections of comment bait articles will of course save everyone 3o cents a day and result in a media landscape dictated by commercial interests with very little public interest journalism left behind.
However, it will also leave Pauline with a media landscape dominated by organisation's that give her oxygen and provide her with cheerleaders.
This follows a rather humorous interaction where Pauline spat the dummy after being asked the most basic question about costings for one of her policies when a commercial news journo went off script.
Luckily for people who rely on up to date information when their lives are at risk due to natural disasters, like most policies put forward by Pauline Hanson and One Nation, there is very little substance to the call and even less chance of it being implemented.
