"I'm there at Parliament every time when Parliament is sitting. Yes I am there." - Pauline Hanson

In 2026, Hanson participated in only 53% of Senate divisions she could have attended. That does not prove she was outside Parliament for every missed vote, but it certainly demonstrates she was frequently absent from the Senate chamber during sitting periods.

Parliamentary Library analysis reported that since returning to the Senate in 2016, Hanson attended at least one Estimates hearing on only 28 of 239 Estimates hearing days - about 12%. She missed an entire Estimates period about 70% of the time.

As she said herself, "“Yeah, it’s terrible. I don’t turn up.”

PSA Schools Recognition Week celebrates the incredible people who keep our NSW public schools running every day.

But recognition is only part of the story.

Being a PSA member means having a voice. It means standing together for better pay, secure jobs, safer workplaces and fair conditions.

Many of the conditions school staff have today were won because PSA members stood together.

Recognition matters. Membership makes us stronger.

Support Staff are at the heart of our public schools. They keep schools running, support students and teachers, and help create strong, welcoming school communities every day.

Being a PSA member means having a strong collective voice at work, support when you need it, and access to dozens of member-only benefits and discounts!

Thank you to all our members at Alexandria Park Community School and across NSW! ❤️

A secure home should not be out of reach.

Housing is more than a roof over your head. It means security, opportunity and a chance to build a future.

Without secure housing, there’s no future for individuals trying to get ahead.

No future for families trying to put down roots.

No future for an economy that needs people to live near where they work.

Australia needs more public housing and more genuinely affordable housing.

Australia’s housing and retirement systems still assume most people will eventually own their home.

But more Australians are renting for longer. If renting for life is going to become normal, it needs to be secure and affordable.

That means more public and community housing, stronger rent assistance, long-term leases, predictable rent increases and retirement incomes that recognise renters still have housing costs.

The goal shouldn’t simply be home ownership for everyone.

The goal should be a secure, affordable home for everyone, including renters.

Experts are warning more Australians are facing the prospect of ren...

Great to catch up with PSA members at Cranebrook High School and talk about what’s happening across the public school system.

There’s plenty to talk about, including the recent COLA payment and our $500 fortnightly member draw.

Being a PSA member means having a strong voice at work, support when you need it, and access to a wide range of member-only benefits and services.

Every new member makes us stronger. More members means more bargaining power and a stronger voice for everyone.

Proud to be PSA. Stronger together.
