This visit between Trump and Mamdani is a perfect illustration of what I’ve tried to explain to people time and time again. People will react before thinking bigger picture.
Is Mamdani an awful socialist? Yes. That did not change today. He is still the same guy. What changed is he had to sit across from a president who will not let New York rot on his watch.
I wish more people understood this. Mission first does not care about feelings.
Mamdani needs Trump. His supporters will see that too, whether they want to admit it or not.
Trump walked into Gracie because he will not let NYC fall. He is watching. Mamdani knows he is watching. That is the message.
Refusing to work with people you do not agree with is a weak man’s game. (Some people in NJ could learn from this too, more on this is the future)
Trump sat down and kept the pressure on crime, taxes, and deportations.
That is a man who wants results in the Big Apple and will not outsource the outcome to a socialist mayor’s feelings.
Disdain for free speech is the most fundamental underpinning of left and right fascism. Hitler subscribed to it. So did Mussolini and Franco. And Stalin subscribed to it. Yet free speech is fundamental to human and improvement and thriving.
The chancellor of Germany says free speech is just a kooky American idea that he doesn't share:
“Please don’t come to me with free speech... That is at most a libertarian political understanding from parts of the USA that I personally do not share. A liberal society must still be able to protect its citizens from false information, from personal degradations, from discrimination.”

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has warned against meddling with the compulsory superannuation system, saying it'll come at the expense of younger Australians and future generations.

Forced masking schoolchildren was cruel and unscientific, but so-called experts zealously demanded it.
I remember catching a lot of grief when I did an executive order banning school districts from forcing masks.
They never acknowledged harm due to forced masking schoolchildren.

Meet the 3 Stooges of “science” in America: Tony Fauci, Michael Mann, and Peter Hotez.
These guys are everything wrong with science and academia.
Fauci will forever be remembered as the man who destroyed America during COVID all because he wanted to be loved by the corrupt corporate media.
While everyone else is running towards the future Australia is running towards the past. Nuclear is the future.

Will Rwanda get nuclear power before Australia? It's planning on having reactors up and running by the early 2030s - that's 3.5 years away now. Meanwhile Albo wants Australia to become a world leader in AI, but only if they have BYO electricity. How they gunna do that without nuclear?
2030, when the big bills start arriving is only 3.5 years away. Commonwealth government and states have made a mess of this, apart from Queensland, which will still have coal-fired generators. @DavidJanetzkiMP @DavidCrisafulli

Negative gearing needed now more than ever as interest rates put the squeeze on landlords and ultimately tenants. Meanwhile depositors are receiving better returns and paying more tax.

Do you own paintings, vintage cars, jewellery, or a McDonald’s 2021 Pokémon Holo Pikachu? Under Chalmer's CGT legislation you will need them all valued as of June 30, 2027. Your valuable have to pay tax just like a wage earner, and the valuers are going to be frantic.

The rise of populist parties is not just about immigration, it is about betrayal by the established parties, and even more so by the public service. Instead of serving the public these organisations have been serving themselves. Immigration is one issue, COVID lockdowns and mandates another. Brexit in the UK another again.
Violence is endemic to the left because collectivism can never happen voluntarily except on a small scale, like the family.

Labor Minister Tanya Plibersek says Labor has “cut” migration by 45%. Does this look like a cut to you?
The number of migrants in the country has only reached record highs since Labor came into power.
It’s now at all time record of 2.6 million temporary visa holders in the country (excluding tourists, crew and transit visas).
The tax system has never been the cause of the housing affordability crisis. At the moment immigration and excess demand are the major problems, followed by a lack of developable land, and productivity in the building industry.
Canada is awkward for @JEChalmers’ housing-tax story. It has a 50% CGT inclusion rate and negative gearing. Yet housing affordability is improving rapidly as migration pressure falls under Mark Carney’s left-wing government. The problem isn't tax it's demand. Fix demand, Jim and Albo.

The leader of the Lib Dems, and the leader and deputy leader of the Green party, think some women have penises. In itself, it seems like a relatively unimportant matter. But it is symptomatic of a contempt for science and evidence-based truth. Could you vote for a flat-Earther?
Is this what they call the circular economy?
Aussies: “We need to minimise immigration.”
Gov: “No, we aren’t doing that.”
Aussies: “Rent is too expensive.”
Gov: “Good point. We’ll increase costs for landlords so they have to charge you more.”
Aussies..."Electricity is too expensive"
Gov..."We're committed to net zero...regardless of the cost to you!"
Aussies: “I can’t keep up with the cost of living.”
Gov: “Too bad. We can’t stop spending more than we’re making, so inflation will keep rising.”
Aussies: “The NDIS is scamming taxpayers out of millions every year.”
Gov: “Yeah, but we don’t want to offend the NDIS scammers — they might call us racist.”
Aussies: “Okay fine, we gave you a chance. We’re voting @OneNationAus.”
Gov: “You filthy, uneducated racist.”

What’s really sad is Punters Politics and the Greens KNOW FULL WELL most people don’t understand basic business stuff like this.
And this is how leftists take over countries with easy slogans and cool sounding populist PR campaigns like “the rich gas corporations are stealing from us!” For once I think we can applaud the major parties
for not caving-in to the populism. But it probably won’t last. @ljayes @ellymelly @OzInstProgress @AusPoll6 @DrewPavlou @TopherField @OzraeliAvi @EnergyWrapAU

Graham Young from @OzInstProgress will join us on the show this weekend (new shows always drop 7pm Fridays).
He says the AI numbers from our question prompt in the tweet below may be a bit on the high side for two of the years.
Graham sourced the Company Tax paid from the ATO's website (ignoring PRRT and all other royalties and taxes) for 2023-24. He found that the gas companies seem to be paying their "fair share". This is ONLY the company tax part of what they pay excluding royalties (Australia's large company tax rate is 30%) @GrahamY
RE: Punters Politics, the Greens, and the misleading GAS TAX campaign mystery…
We asked this question of ChatGPT and Claude. This question was crafted after a lot of other questions that gave good, but not very clear answers.
“please give your best estimate of total profit for the GAS industry in Australia (not oil industry) for FY 2024-25 and 2023-24 and 2022-23. Then your best estimate of total tax paid. Do not use Australia institute or the Greens political party as a source as they are very biased. Use only official and neutral sources”
Chat GPT said:
Bottom line (best estimates)
Total Australian gas industry profit (LNG-focused)
2022–23: ≈ A$35–45 billion
2023–24: ≈ A$25–35 billion
2024–25: ≈ A$30–40 billion
Total tax + royalties paid
2022–23: ≈ A$18–20 billion
2023–24: ≈ A$21.5 billion
2024–25: ≈ A$21.9–22 billion
And Claude gave the answer in the picture here.
In everything I have read and looked at today (a lot!) one thing is clear:
PUNTERS POLITICS is - at best - unintentionally misleading us. At worst he is … well … you make your own mind up after our show this week.
The industry is definitely not “ripping us off” or “getting its gas for free”.
Also - Norway and Qatar’s industries and tax systems are NOT comparable to ours.
So why the big campaign from Punters and his mates at the Greens-aligned “Australia Institute”?
We will discuss on the show this weekend with some very smart guests… @EnergyWrapAU @GrahamY @OzInstProgress @FreyaThinks (Drops Friday night at 7pm AEST)

This morning, I silently held up a sign at the @RANZCP Congress during the keynote speech. Security pushed me over, dragged me out, and cancelled my conference registration. @RANZCP CEO, Damian Ferrie, told me my sign counted as ‘advertising’ so wasn’t allowed. The College is so cruel to those of us speaking up to protect children from gender interventions.
