BREAKING: Department of Infrastructure officials have just confirmed what many suspected: the $6 million federal grant to Marrickville Golf Club in Anthony Albanese’s electorate was not for fixing sewerage issues. Albanese repeatedly told Parliament and the ABC that the money was to stop raw sewage flowing into the Cooks River during floods. Officials at Senate estimates were clear: “It does not include sewerage works.” The actual project, according to departmental briefs, FOI documents and council minutes: $4.5m went to the clubhouse redevelopment (bar, toilets, pro shop, alfresco dining, dog station) $1m stormwater harvesting. $0.5m landscaping/native plantings The septic/sewage connection was handled separately by a $269,500 NSW Government grant in 2025. This is the same club where Albanese held an undisclosed honorary membership dating back years, something he says he didn’t know about and never used, despite being caught on camera at the club hundreds of times. People have been forced to stand down over far less. Barry O’Farrell resigned as NSW Premier in 2014 after ICAC evidence showed he received a bottle of Penfolds Grange (valued at around $3,000) that he failed to declare and initially denied receiving. One bottle. One denial. Career over. Here we have a Prime Minister whose department has contradicted his public statements about a $6 million grant to a club in his own seat, after an undeclared membership was revealed, and he remains in office. If a bottle of Grange ended a Premier, what standard are we applying now?

Wow, look at all these Tesla Cybercabs and Model Y Robotaxis heading back to base. This is the largest number of Tesla robotaxis ever seen together on public roads. Tesla is nearing 1,000 robotaxis registered in Texas to date.

Nice slide indeed. Lithium - one of $RIO’s four core business pillars - is growing 3.4x over next ten years which is 2.5-3x as fast as its other three fast-growing pillars (aluminum, copper, iron/steel)…
Nice slide from Rio Tinto about the massive amount of metals needed in electrification, EVs, AI, digital infrastructure, and traditional buildings. ⛏️👇

A devastating new YouGov poll exposes a complete collapse in working class support for Labor, crashing to a miserable 24%, the lowest primary vote since the party was formed in 1901.
The Australian Labor Party is no longer the party of the working class your grandparents voted for. A devastating new YouGov poll exposes a complete collapse in working class support for Labor, crashing to a miserable 24%, the lowest primary vote since the party was formed in 1901. The movement forged in the 1891 bush shearing sheds to give ordinary people a voice has been completely hijacked by the far radical left. At the helm is Anthony Albanese, a lifelong devout communist ideologue who has traded the interests of everyday Australians for radical, out of touch cultural agendas. While working class Aussies give the PM a well deserved two fingered salute, the reality on the ground is grim: The cost of living crisis has Aussies drowning under skyrocketing grocery bills, mortgages, rents, and electricity costs. The Infrastructure has collapse with mass immigration smashing infrastructure while Labor falls 95,000 homes behind its own housing targets. The record low approval has Albanese’s net satisfaction plummeting to a historic low of minus 30. This isn't the Labor Party of Ben Chifley or the “Light on the Hill” It is a radicalised, elite political machine that has abandoned the very people it was built to protect.

LMR uses more #lithium than LFP per battery pack
“General Motors unveils a new EV platform built around LMR batteries and a more efficient drive unit. The LFP cost parity claim is interesting: they must be comparing it per kWh to US produced LFP. It will also be interesting to see the cycle life of LMR.” #battchat 🇺🇸

Now we know why Anthony Albanese is 'quitting social media'. News has broken that Germany's new social media law 'Digital Media Interstate Treaty' seeks to FORCE social media platforms to make 20% content from state-approved creators. In other words, Germany wants a fifth of social media to be directly curated by government 'equity and diversity' narratives. This is not your feed - it is THEIR feed. These measures are tied to earlier legislation which granted certain media outlets state-approved protections not available to independent creators. THIS LEGISLATION MIRRORS THE ALBANESE GOVERNMENT'S CURRENT POLICY PORTFOLIO. We demand that this Digital Duty of Care legislation - put forward by Anika Wells and the eSafety Commissioner either by SCRAPPED or AMENDED to guarantee - in law - that Albanese and his government will be STRICTLY PROHIBITED from interfering in social media feeds or determining, in any way, what people see. Anika Wells refused to acknowledge that interference was possible - and yet she was not asked - and has not answered - any questions related to Germany's parallel legislation. Considering Labor has been working closely with the European Union on their digital legislation - something they praise themselves for - Ms Wells must be aware of this policy. Will the Communications Minister now amend the bill to protect social media FROM politicians?

Australia could collect an extra $45 billion a year from the resources it already owns. So why isn’t more of that wealth reaching the Australian people? A new report from Prosper Australia reveals a major gap in how the nation captures value from its mineral and petroleum resources. The findings: -$28 billion a year from mining -$16–18 billion a year from petroleum -Around $2 billion a year in potential revenue flowing to foreign state-linked interests Queensland has shown that stronger, boom-sensitive coal pricing can increase public revenue without an apparent negative impact on investment. Australia’s natural resources belong to the nation. Shouldn’t the public receive a fairer share?

I have a client who has had their property for sale since July in SEQ. The official corelogic report has it's estimated value at $2.53mil to $3.3mil in the range. Best offer he has had is $1.5mil. He is considering taking the best offer. It's worse than you think out there.

It's a simple message from the Government - don't bust a gut because the benefits of hard work, effort & innovation will be heavily taxed. #Labour #Diabolical
Under @JEChalmers @AlboMP success in Australia has become a dangerous tax liability. It's a simple message from the Government - don't bust a gut because the benefits of hard work, effort & innovation will be heavily taxed. It's the sure road to economic oblivion & misery.

There are more listings for homes over $100 million than ever before. To the average onlooker, this may look like market madness. But, if you've read Phil Anderson's The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking before, you'll know that this is just indicative of the late-cycle playbook 101. Headline sales don't trigger the end of the cycle. Signs like these confirm that we're in the final inning.

Great to see One Nation joining the Coalition in opposing Labor’s destructive CGT and trust changes. The Coalition called this out months ago and pledged to reverse it. One Nation is now adding its voice on restoring the 50% CGT discount and scrapping the trust tax. These experiments punish productive investment and smash aspiration. The more voices against them, the better. #StoptheCGTtoGetAhead #JoinWARonCGT
Media Release: One Nation will reverse Dr Chalmers’ budget experiments One Nation will fix Dr Jim Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments by reversing his capital gains tax and trust changes. One Nation will also protect negative gearing for up to two investment properties and vows to fight any plan by the Treasurer to impose death taxes and taxes on the family home. One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said Australians were paying for a Treasurer who had no idea what he was doing and the Albanese Labor government who just cannot stop spending and driving up inflation. “Dr Jim Chalmers is experimenting on the Australian economy, and everyday Australians are his guinea pigs.” Senator Pauline Hanson said. “He’s playing with your home, your rent, your business and your savings. When his experiments fail, Australians will pay dearly. “He has smashed business confidence, cut off business investment and helped send the property market into free fall. “Already, more than 1,100 households who bought through Labor’s expanded five per cent deposit scheme are now estimated to owe more than their homes are worth. “Labor encouraged them into the market, then pulled the rug out from under them. “They botched the ATO credit card ban and lied about their involvement. They were forced to back down on their widow tax. Now accountants warn Labor’s trust changes could cost Australians billions in unnecessary advice and restructuring. “Labor couldn’t run a corner shop. But they know how to send one broke. “One Nation will restore the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount and scrap Labor’s proposed 30 per cent minimum tax on trusts. “The status quo of allowing unlimited taxpayer concessions for property tycoons was not working for Australians. The Liberal plan to back the broken model protecting property moguls makes no sense. “One Nation would continue to allow Australians to negatively gear up to two investment properties. “Anthony Albanese has pulled the ladder up behind him on young people trying to break into the property market, protecting tax concessions for existing properties. This includes the Prime Minister’s own ocean view clifftop house in Copacabana, the hundreds of properties held by his own cabinet and the thousands of properties held by property tycoons. “The Labor government must answer whether members of cabinet who benefited from grandfathering negative gearing concessions recused themselves from voting on the measures given their conflict of interest. “Australians should be able to work hard, invest and get ahead. For many young Australians, an investment property was one way they could get a foot into the property market. “One Nation will end this disastrous experiment and reverse Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments. “And we will draw a line around the family home and stop any plans for Labor’s death taxes. “It’s not enough that you already work several days a week to pay for Labor’s uncontrolled spending. Because Labor cannot control their own spending, they will keep coming back to shake you down for more. “My warning is that your family home, your super, and what you leave your children will be in the firing line next. “Labor broke its promises on negative gearing and capital gains tax. Why would Australians trust anything they say? “One Nation will never impose a death tax. We will never impose a tax on the family home. “You should not have to spend your life paying for Labor’s spending addiction, then have them send your children the final bill.”

Jim’s words are “Labor will always back small businesses”. Jim’s actions are a 60% tax on a typical small business arrangement. Actions speak louder than words.
JIM CHALMERS’ DOUBLE TAX TRAP Labor’s discretionary trusts crackdown can force small businesses to pay more than 60% tax, and ministers won’t rule it out. Trusts using “bucket companies” get hit with a 30% minimum tax, then the same income is taxed again at the company rate. Effective rates can reach a staggering 77%. Builders, plumbers and cafe owners using normal family trust structures are in the crosshairs. HIA warns it will kill investment and slow housing construction. Opposition leader Angus Taylor called it a “deliberate attack” on hundreds of thousands of family businesses. Assistant treasurer, Daniel Mulino and Stuart Ayres ducked questions on rates above 60%. Business groups say the government’s “fixes” are inflexible and urge the Senate to kill the bill. You don’t grow the economy by double taxing the people who keep it running. Hey Albo, are we allowed to keep any money for ourselves?
