Pauline Hanson defends UK ‘fact-finding’ trip
Pauline Hanson has posted an update on social media about what she calls a “fact-finding” mission to the UK to find out what has gone “so wrong” with the country.
She sat down for an interview for the podcast of far-right British activist Tommy Robinson, whom she called a “brave man … who has always had the best interest of his nation at heart”.
After a long list of what she claims is wrong with the UK, including “cities where most women wear burkas”, Hanson says:
No thanks. That’s not what I want for Australia. Each day I’ll bring you a sneak peak of my visit before putting out a long format video once I’m home.
Robinson posted on his YouTube channel a clip from a car showing him and Hanson “about to take a walk through my town” of Luton, adding “let’s see what happens”.
Hanson also met Rupert Lowe, the leader of the far-right Restore UK party, who split from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, who tweeted “we certainly share many of the same objectives”.

Hanson says Taylor should go ‘after the real enemy, Labor’
Overnight, Pauline Hanson also posted in Angus Taylor’s direction, suggesting to the Liberal leader that his attack on her yesterday was a mistake and that he should be going after “the real enemy, Labor”.
She said:
Angus Taylor has today come out attacking One Nation instead of going after the real enemy, Labor.
Angus has played right into the hands of Anthony Albanese. While the Liberal leader is telling voters how bad One Nation is, he’s quietly adopting One Nation policies.
Stop running scared and desperate, Angus. My priority remains focused on getting this country back on track.
Qantas tops airline punctuality table
Qantas is the world’s most punctual major airline, according to the latest data.
Each month OAG compiles global on-time performance for airlines, based on actual gate arrival times. Flights that arrive within ۱۵ minutes of the schedule are considered on-time.
By this measure, Qantas topped the league table of “major” airlines in June, with ۸۷.۱۶% of flights arriving on time, just ahead of South America’s Avianca.
Among “large” airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines topped the table at ۹۲.۴۱%, with Virgin Australia at number ۱۸ on ۸۰.۱۲%.
