Queensland premier under fire for undisclosed flu jab status
One Nation Chief of Staff James Ashby says public trust is being undermined as Queensland's premier and ministers refuse to reveal their flu vaccination status. 'It is nobody's business,' Mr Ashby said. 'It's so damn hard to get in to see a doctor, and if you do get one, they don't want to bulk bill you, you know that Medicare card you promised, that's all you needed, no, the credit card goes with it. 'It costs money, and so many people do not have spare cash at the moment.'

One Nation Chief of Staff James Ashby raises concerns over a sharp rise in long-term Jobseeker recipients. Mr Ashby called for better job pathways, fairer wages, and improved education to address growing welfare dependency. 'This is the biggest problem but it's not just a labor issue, this has been building for the last decade,' 'There should be no excuse, we've got around 660,000 people on unemployment benefits … but when you've got 50 per cent of them, now who have been on it for over two years, it's unacceptable. 'You can't continue calling it Jobseeker when people refuse to go and get a job.'
