Australian political commentator Peter van Onselen's column criticises several Labor figures, with a central focus on Attorney-General Michelle Rowland's handling of threats made against One Nation leader Pauline Hanson. He argues that even people who strongly dislike Hanson have been angered by Rowland's response, framing it as a form of victim-blaming that has effectively become government policy, though he does not expect an apology to follow.

The piece also takes aim at other government figures: Foreign Minister Penny Wong, acting as Prime Minister while Anthony Albanese is at the Pacific Islands Forum in Palau, is being paid at his full annual rate of $622,102 under a recent Remuneration Tribunal rule change, despite Albanese continuing to draw his own salary while abroad. Separately, Communications Minister Anika Wells is criticised for using Woolworths "Ooshie" toy figures to explain Labor's housing tax reforms, with the column noting she owns an investment property in Chermside that is protected under the government's grandfathering arrangements.
