@australianlabor gave the Australian Council of Trade Unions 11.65 million taxpayer dollars in 24/25, who then spent 5.5 million dollars campaigning for Labor to be reelected in 2025. Did Fortescue mining billionaire Twiggy Forest spend to get Labor reelected? His tax free charity Mindaloo don’t list where their 250 million 24/25 donations went. The ATO don’t require they be disclosed. The Federal Government give Mindaroo tens of millions in contracts and the Government gave Fortescue 100 million plus for failed Renewable energy projects. Why is Oz media only interested in Gina?

30,000 public servants & burecrates added ,2 million immigrants since Labor took office. Unions have unfettered access to business raising wages & conditions so much that business is closing at a record rate. This is typical of a Labor government. This one is the worst.

I will never understand how such a mediocre little person like Albanese, with his Socialist/Communist ideology became the Prime Minister of Australia. 😳

Coles cheerfully released a Press Statement cheering on the poisoning of their customers. Coles are selling meat laced with synthetic poison. colesgroup.com.au/news/2023/…

This is from 3 May 2022 when the RBA raised the cash rate from 0.10% to a just 0.35%. 17 rate rises under Labor later and it's all down to external factors. Apparently, government accountability only applies when @JEChalmers in opposition.

Anthony Albanese has so far claimed $3,900 on living away allowance while in the Caribbean. Tax free. Not a bad top up to his $12,000 per week pay cheque.

And this, boys and girls, is one of the key reasons why the RBA keeps increasing the cash rate. @AlboMP & @JEChalmers are addicted to spending OUR money. #auspol

Victoria Election Debate Cancelled. A stalemate & dispute have disrupted the planned Channel 9 Victorian state election debate scheduled for tonight. Liberal Leader Jess Wilson has refused to participate in the Channel 9 debate if it includes One Nation Leader Warren Pickering alongside Labor Premier Ben Carroll. The Liberals are absolutely hopeless & are no opposition. They are no better than Labor.

Confirmation this morning that DJs has been placed into administration. A sad end after 188 years. It's possible the brand lives on... but not the most likely outcome.

The Albanese government is refusing to take down the support pedophiles website it set up in April. Can any decent Australian believe this????? Lefties, do not turn away, close your eyes and ears or try to ignore this, or you are actually complicit. Think about it. What you ignore, is what you accept. If you vote Labor, you are voting for a government that openly supports and normalises the sexual abuse of children. Think about it, think of your children, grandchildren or any child. Mark my words, just as killing babies aka abortion has been legalised, this is the precursor to pedophilia being either decriminalised or worse, made legal. You think that is crazy, yes it is - but just remember, so much 'crazy' is now considered, and taught to our children as not just ok, but normal. All of this is happening - along with another interest rate rise tomorrow (17 since he took office, $700/month extra on an average mortgage) - while the Prime Minister swans around the Bahamas, watching cricket with Ms Hayden. Albanese is dangerous and his government must be sacked. Legally, not violently. facebook.com/share/v/1CVoVMj…

In a mostly empty country, why are we building these crowded-in slum like dwellings?
These homes were built from scratch in just four months. Single-storey homes featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms and open-plan living areas. They were delivered through an innovative construction trial. Combining prefabricated modules with traditional building methods. This is just one of the many levers we’re pulling to deliver the homes South Australians need, faster. Every week saved in construction means a family is getting into their own home sooner.

Unless they had a boot-full of Labor, Greens and Liberal signs as well, I'm calling "BULLSHIT!" on this one. They were vandalising and/or stealing ON signs. That's political.

BREAKING: Anthony Albanese is completely detached from reality. He’s actually trying to blame global oil prices for Australia's interest rate hike, while RBA Governor Michele Bullock explicitly stated the rate rise is driven by domestic capacity pressures, not oil. He didn't even watch her press conference before denying responsibility. Labor's reckless spending and economic mismanagement have sent domestic inflation through the roof since 2022. Instead of taking accountability, the PM is hiding behind international excuses while everyday Australians pay the price through skyrocketing mortgages and cost of living pressures. Band Aid fixes like electricity rebates and cash handouts have only pumped more fuel onto the inflationary fire. Yet, Albo refuses to commit to real spending cuts in the mid year budget update. True economic leadership requires fiscal restraint, not endless spending that drives up interest rates and punishes Aussie families. Here’s Michelle Bullock explicitly saying domestic issues, not international oil prices, are resulting in sky high inflation.
