Well, I'm back. You can kick me out, dismiss me or try to silence me, but you can't stop me, because Australians know I have their back. Growing numbers of Australians now have mine. It's an injustice that I wasn't able to debate legislation last month, but I am proud of my colleagues following my lead. They stood tall against Labor's attempt to scapegoat lawful gun owners for Anthony Albanese's failure to check antisemitism and radical Islam.

I am proud of my colleagues for defending free speech. When you try to silence me, you try to silence millions of Australians who are tired of your cosy two-party system because it doesn't deliver. You put yourselves and vested interests before the Australians you are supposed to serve. You are not part of the Australia we know and love, the same Australia you are trying to destroy with net zero and mass migration and the Australians you won't help with the rising cost of living. More Australians are supporting me because they know you aren't putting their interests first.

Unlike you, I don't take this support for granted. We're going to earn it and show Australians that One Nation can deliver for them. I'm not part of your cosy self-serving system any more than everyday Australians are. I will never be. No matter what the media says, One Nation stands alone; One Nation will always be independent. My goal is to get rid of this toxic Albanese Labor government. We can't afford another term under Labor. I'll work with anyone who shares this goal, but I will never join them.
