    *One Nation Says They'll Slash $90 Billion in Waste. We Checked.*

    "One Nation wants to slash $90 billion in government waste every single
    year. That's the foundation of their entire platform - the fuel tax
    cuts, income splitting for families, new dams and railways, paying down
    the national debt. All of it really rests on that one number. So let's
    do some homework and check the numbers.
    Spoiler alert: What I found is that several of the biggest figures on
    their slash-waste page don't survive contact with the actual budget.
    This is Episode 2 of the One Nation Policy Audit Series."

    Well, what do you know !?
    Pauline clearly must be a maths genius who can turn imaginary numbers instantly real just by waving her witches wand at them and chanting
    alt-right feel good slogans to make it happen. And the bogan sheep
    followers just lap up all her manufactured nonsense figures w/o ever questioning her big item claims.
    Sad!

    Do you really want that incompetent/ignorant mob anywhere near
    formulating government policies???
