‘Nothing’s off limits in politics’: Pickering on the media hounding over past drug use (News24)

One Nation Victoria Leader Warren Pickering says he wished media outlets used more “critical discernment” before they dragged his family into his admission of historical drug use.

“We know in politics nothing's off limits; however, you would hope that a lot of the more reputable media outlets would use a little bit more critical discernment before dragging families into things,” Mr Pickering told News24 host Paul Murray.

“For me it’s been very overwhelming to have the support of the party, but a lot of the broader community and my family get right behind me 100 per cent.”



What a massive publicity coup for Mr Pickering. The establishment media have clowned themselves here. Now everyone is interested in this guy and what he has to say, as opposed to him being tarred as a one dimensional One Nation candidate. A lot of people would not have even heard of this guy until now. Amazing stuff.

Note: This is the same establishment media that carried the lies about Covid and the jabs, the NET ZERO nonsense, and the proxy wars overseas and are still lying about these things.
