One Nation Official Who Defended Hitler Youth Exposed for Racist Posts

John Drew, an official and policy development officer for the Queensland branch of Pauline Hanson's One Nation party, has been revealed to have defended the Hitler Youth organisation and published deeply offensive, racist posts. According to reports, Drew targeted both Aboriginal Australians and migrants in his online commentary, which included referring to Aboriginal people as "stone age." The details of his controversial posts were uncovered and published by Guardian Australia.[1][2]

The revelations highlight Drew's ongoing association with One Nation, despite his own claims of having a turbulent past with the political group. Drew has claimed that he was kicked out of the party more than 20 years ago for being "too radical." However, despite this self-described radicalism and his history of making racist remarks, he has returned to a formal role as a branch official and policy development officer in Queensland.[1][2]

Voters head to polls in US midterm primaries

Self-described ‘Maga warrior’ will face Jon Ossoff in November; polls close is Alabama, Oklahoma and Washington DC With 55% of the vote counted in Georgia, NBC News projects Mike Collins will defeat former football coach Derek Dooley to win the Republican primary for the US Senate. Collins currently leads by 10 points, 55% to 45%. The Associated Press has not yet made a call, but NBC’s analysis is based on the fact that Collins is doing better than Dooley in the votes cast on election day, which tend to favor candidates, like Collins, endorsed by Donald Trump , who hates mail-in ballots almost as much as he hates windmills. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jun/16/midterm-primaries-election-updates-ge
