❗️The National Press Club said police were investigating whether left-leaning activist group GetUp and the husband of former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins were involved in the unfurling of a banner during a landmark speech at the venue by Pauline Hanson.
While politically motivated, the stunt also raised security concerns at the venue, where Hanson had been promised the same protection as that afforded to the Israeli ambassador and other guests.
ACT Policing confirmed in a statement that it had received a complaint regarding the alleged unauthorised access and interference with equipment in a building in the Canberra suburb of Barton.GetUp claimed credit for the stunt.
The Press Club statement said the “GetUp representative at the address was David Sharaz”, who is Higgins’ husband and the media and campaigns lead for the politically progressive outfit. “At time of writing, we understand he is yet to be interviewed by the AFP,” Reilly added.
The statement attempted to clarify how the banner unfolded unexpectedly and automatically midway through Hanson’s 50-minute address, which took aim at the government’s immigration, energy and taxation policies and the national media.
“It appears that two persons entered the club building yesterday afternoon without permission and installed a separate drop-down screen in front of our media wall/light box. It is evident that a further person present during the address activated a remote device to trigger the unfurling of the coiled banner,” it said.

❗️Ukrainian drones attacked a bus carrying a children's football team from Belarus - one person was killed, and four children and two adults were injured.
They deliberately attacked it with explosive devices, knowing there were people on the bus, and the operator clearly saw the 'CHILDREN' signs. This didn't stop the scumbags from attacking the bus.

❗️ Looks like the Diocesan bureaucrats at Chelmsford Avenue simply used Kooyoora as a cynical shield to get themselves "out of trouble" during the Alexis Rosentool paedophile priest scandal. They think they’re being clever, but all they’ve achieved is further…
❗️ROCOR ANZ Diocese Switches Safe Ministry Provider from Kooyoora to Creating Safer Communities Amid Ongoing Scrutiny
The Australian and New Zealand Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR ANZ) has announced a change in its independent service provider for safe ministry and safeguarding support, moving from Kooyoora to Creating Safer Communities (CSC), a Christian faith-based organisation. The shift was detailed in "Announcement #5: Safeguarding Our Church Community," dated 16 June 2026, and signed by Archbishop George (Schaefer).
Background and Context:
The change follows the 2025 conviction of former Archimandrite Alexis Rosentool, a senior ROCOR priest in Australia found guilty of child sexual abuse spanning decades. The case drew significant public attention and criticism of the diocese's handling of historical allegations, including reports of support for Rosentool from some clergy after his conviction.
In response to the scandal, the diocese engaged Kooyoora, a provider of professional standards and safeguarding services used by various Australian churches (particularly Anglican dioceses), to review policies, provide training, and establish independent reporting pathways.
According to the official announcement, the diocese ended its engagement with Kooyoora effective around 8 June 2026. CSC, founded in 2007, is presented as a better-aligned partner due to its Christian ethos, experience in safe ministry practices, prevention, response, and support for dioceses and parishes. The announcement emphasises compliance with federal and state obligations, pastoral care, and building a "positive and safe parish life."
Key elements from the announcement:
- A dedicated ROCOR Safe Ministry Helpline: 1800 070 511 and [email protected].
- CSC will support policy development, training, auditing, independent reporting, and strengthening internal capabilities consistent with Orthodox Christian faith.
- Emphasis on safeguarding children and vulnerable people while addressing broader adult conduct and pastoral safety.
- A call for the entire church community to participate, with contact details for the Diocesan SafeMinistry Officer: [email protected].
The timing of the announcement—shortly after critical coverage on the Pokrov Truth Substack—has drawn scepticism from victim advocates. The Substack reported confirming the disengagement directly with Kooyoora and questioned whether the move represents genuine progress or "window dressing."
Advocates have raised specific concerns:
With Kooyoora's involvement ending, questions remain about the status of any prior reports, the functionality of new pathways, and whether a user-friendly online complaint form exists. The diocese's main office phone (02 9747 5892) has reportedly been unreliable at times.
What happened to cases or reviews handled under Kooyoora? Have they been transferred?
Progress on full participation in the National Redress Scheme, trauma-informed training (especially for clergy), and addressing attitudes among some priests who publicly defended Rosentool.
Some view the switch as an attempt to use a faith-aligned provider as a "shield" while potentially limiting external scrutiny, amid perceptions of bureaucratic complacency or evasion.
Time will tell. We will keep an eye on new developments.

❗️Looks like an inside job with the billboard against Pauline Hanson today. The National Press Club of Australia are a disgrace for allowing this. At minimum its a grave security breach which is now a stain on the once prestigious reputation of the press…
❗️Leftist political activism group "Get Up" have claimed responsibily for today's banner suprise during Pauline Hanson's speech to the National Press Club of Australia.
Our readers will recall that the Aussie Cossack Channel earlier correctly predicted that Australia is entering a season of "billboard wars" and political stunts.
He who holds the largest Billboard Truck fleet holds the cards. Once upon time it was Rupert Murdoch who owned the largest Billboard Truck fleet in Australia. Watch this space.

❗️Labor works fast. Watch this video posted by Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen 3 hours ago.
They're leveraged the clout of the Getup poster protest at Pauline Hanson's press club talk, to create an almost identical stylised imagery with same sliding down billboard optics with different messaging.
The funniest thing is that they stuck it on the projector board with sticky tape. This is a whole Premier. Using sticky tape. Bahahahaha.
🍿The Billboard wars in Australia continue!
