What ever else she does in her life, Anika Wells will be forever known as the politicIan that introduced legislation into the Parliament attempting to give government unlimited power to create fake ‘sock puppet’ online accounts and use AI to create and disseminate government propaganda through them.
History will condemn her for eternity.
Her political career should be over.

The Treasure’s @JEChalmers
incompetence and @AlboMP insane new #CGT continues. How incompetent are they? This is a disaster for all Australians. It is negative for productivity at a time when labour productivity has fallen on average -0.7% over five years. Treasury and the Government are treating the tax system like a work-in-progress while businesses, families and investors are expected to plan around the chaos. Less than 12 months from the 1 July 2027 start date and their own legislation still casually admits the new CGT regime has not yet dealt with rollovers, deceased estate concessions, foreign and temporary residents, value shifting rules, consolidated groups, listed investment companies, employee share schemes, demergers, options, or the critical interaction between the deemed sale rules and cost base. This is not careful reform. This is reckless, half-baked legislating by tranches, leaving the biggest rewrite of capital gains tax in a generation riddled with unresolved gaps this close to the start line. The war to stop this continues. Treasury document issued yesterday 👇#JoinWARonCGT #ScrapTheCGTHeist #StopTheCGT

Great AFR article by Geoff Wilson on how highest tax on capital in the world, taxing capital investment at 60 percent, DOUBLE previous tax rate, is an economy killer; the best way to destroy innovation, aspiration and living standards: brought to you by Labor with a lying smile:
An economy that works for everyone starts with aspiration, not punishing it.
@AlboMP & @JEChalmers ‘s new #CGT makes it far harder for Australians to back growing businesses. It favours dividends over reinvestment, mature companies over startups, and foreign capital over our own savings.
This is a tax on productive investment and the Australian dream. It must be stopped! #ScrapTheCGTHeist

Labor and their billionaire mates.
Gina RInehart donates a light single-prop plane to One Nation and ABC repeat the story endlessly.
Albanese pockets a $1 million cash donation from a Chinese high roller with links to the Chinese Communist Party - in a deal brokered by dodgy Dan Andrews - and you can bet the ABC won’t mention a word of it.

In the sordid history of Australian crime, corruption and financial scandals, nothing comes close to the epic rorting of Victoria's Big Build. What makes it truly unique, however, is the near-total lack of response from the government that oversaw it

Hawke & Keating quarantined negative gearing in 1985. By 1987, they reversed it after rents spiked, investors pulled out, and pressure mounted. Even they admitted it wasn’t working. #negativegearing #auspol #housingcrisis

After Liberal Bronwyn Bishop voluntarily repaid her helicopter flight costs, Albanese said her position was ‘untenable.’
But when Labor Anika Wells repaid wrongly claimed taxpayer funds, Albanese says ‘she’s a very good minister.’
The double standards are staggering.

🚨 Australia’s fuel crisis isn’t “just bad luck, or “due to the Iran conflict”, it’s the direct result of net zero climate policies. The media in Australia are quick to blame the Iran war for empty diesel pumps and soaring prices. But that’s only the spark. The real fire was lit years ago by climate policies that made domestic refining unviable. Australia once had 8 oil refineries. Thanks to the Paris Agreement, net zero targets, the Safeguard Mechanism (their carbon tax/credit system), and tightening emissions rules, most shut down. Now they have just 2 left — both needing subsidies to survive. Australia imports ~90% of its fuel and sits on only ~39 days of petrol, ~29-31 days of diesel, and ~30 days of jet fuel. A huge, car-and-truck-dependent country with fragile supply chains. The same mechanism is at work here in Britain. Our North Sea oil and gas producers face 78% effective taxation through the windfall/energy profits levy , explicitly designed to disincentivise carbon-intensive activity.
Investment has collapsed, companies have left, and we’re more exposed than ever.
We still need diesel for tractors, trucks, mining, and freight. Without it, food doesn’t get to shelves, supermarkets empty, and economies grind to a halt. This isn’t abstract “climate action”, it’s self-inflicted vulnerability in energy security and food security. Australia is the warning light flashing for the UK and Europe. The war made it urgent, but the weakness was baked in by net zero ideology that prioritises carbon credits and emissions targets over keeping the lights on and the wheels turning.
The smart move? REPEAL the damaging targets. EXIT or renegotiate the Paris Agreement. Prioritise domestic energy production and realistic reserves. Put affordability and security first, before shortages become the new normal here too. Australia is living the future net zero is building for all of us. We should be paying attention, not just blaming foreign conflicts.
What do you think? Is it time to put reality before ideology? #NetZeroReality #EnergySecurity #AustraliaWarning #UKFuelCrisis

While the premier is taking these calls from generous Victorians perhaps someone could remind her that up to 15 children’s hospitals could be built with the 15 billion allegedly shoveled down the throat of organised crime as part of the big build.

Simple questions. Complicated answers.
In Parliament, I asked the Treasurer a number of straightforward questions about the recent Silver Review.
Sadly, as usual, the Treasurer chose to give a long and complicated response instead of answering what should be simple.
Victoria needs leadership that won’t beat around the bush, leadership that has confidence in its decisions and a clear vision for our state’s future.

As @cfavolunteersgroup rightly puts "Victorians helping each other, is what is going to make Victoria stronger and better".
If you can help or would like to donate to the bushfire relief effort you may do so my donating to the following organisations:

Farms across Victoria, especially in Western Victoria, are in desperate need of practical support right now.

✍️ From my Op-Ed in @FinancialReview: ‘I survived Bondi. Now a royal commission is critical.’
We owe it to the victims and the survivors, to know not only what happened, but how it was allowed to happen and to ensure it never happens again.

You might not like what they say but Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce have been found by Resolve poll to have become much more ‘liked’ . Why? They talk like real people not programmed politicians. A lesson to the others .

Labor has left state roads in Mansfield looking like the surface of the moon.
Mansfield Shire has been begging the Allan Labor government for help, writing letter after letter about dangerous potholes and intersections in their area. Those pleas have been ignored or fobbed off with lazy, dismissive replies about roads that aren't even in Mansfield.
Victorians deserve a government which cares about their concerns!

Victoria’s biosecurity system is failing our growers!
Tomato-potato psyllid was detected on the Bellarine Peninsula with the area consequently put under quarantine, yet constituents tell me enforcement has been so weak that prohibited products have been allowed to leave the zone.
Labor has no care for farmers and producers in Western Victoria!
