In 2017 in Senate Estimates, Chief Scientist Alan Finkel was asked: "If the world was to reduce its carbon emissions by 1.3% - approx Aust's rate of emissions- what impact wld that make on the changing climate of the world? His response - the impact would be virtually nothing!

This PM does NOT govern for all Australians, but solely in the interests of the Labor Party. (And you can add to that the Unions & certain favoured interest groups).

ALBANESE USING YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO BUY SILENCE & BLOCK REFORM Geoffrey Watson SC, anti corruption barrister and Centre for Public Integrity director, has torched the PM for treating independent MPs’ staff as personal political tools. Under the MOP(S) Act, Albanese alone decides who gets taxpayer funded advisers, and Watson says the power is “unaccountable, unreviewable” and being used for “party political manipulative purposes.” The trigger, a secret offer this week of an extra staffer to One Nation MP David Farley. Pauline Hanson called it an attempt to buy off MPs. One Nation has formally accused the government of “undue influence.” Watson’s examples are brutal: • Senator Payman denied staff because of a personal feud — “quite frankly is disgraceful.” • Greens given full allocation so they won’t back any move to change the law. “The whole exercise is entirely cynical.” Hanson’s August letter, now public, pointed out the double standard: Greens get 17 adviser positions for 11 MPs, One Nation, now past the same threshold, is stuck on 4 and simply asked for proportionate parity to 9. No cuts to anyone else. Just fair treatment. Denied. Albo’s office still hasn’t explained why one crossbencher gets the full works and another gets punished. This isn’t governance, it’s patronage with public money. The law is rotten. The PM is using it exactly as Watson described. The Albanese government campaigned on integrity and transparency, yet the management of parliamentary resources indicates an ongoing reliance on systemic political leverage.

I am surprised the media are not asking the question - how many politicians has @AlboMP bought off? I doubt this would be the first time he has tried this! @OneNationAus

He's a spiteful, amoral liar who somehow manipulated himself all the way to PM. Now Australia's paying the price, both literally and metaphorically.

Grub. Another grub.
This is Paul Graham, the bloke who runs Australia Post. He was paid $3.1 million this year. Australia post lost $108 million so he sold $126 million in property so he could show a paper profit of $18 million and claim his $1.3 million bonus. Nice work if you can get it.

Jacinta Price has ripped into the Prime Minister. She’s called Anthony Albanese a “chronic liar”. It follows the PM misleading the parliament about a $6 million grant. Listen to her conversation with Ben HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-fordham-fu…🎧

“FUTURE MADE IN AUSTRALIA” ? As Chris ‘Blackout’ Bowen rests up ready to jet off to Turkey after having spent $20 million on his failed Fijian climate junket held in 5-star tropical resorts – back in the heart of his Western Sydney electorate, Fantastic Furniture is shutting its last onshore manufacturing facility, which will cost about 100 employees their livelihoods, as it plans to relocate production to China and Vietnam because of the increasing costs of manufacturing in Australia. Meanwhile, as Vietnam has 8.5 GW of new coal-fired power stations under development and China 533 GW – as Bowen and Albanese plan to shut down Australia’s remaining 20 GW of coal-fired power stations – they ludicrously boast about “Future Made in Australia.” With Albanese’s "Future Made in Australia" - we are headed to be a nation that won’t even be able to manufacture a can of peas. Never in our nation’s history have we had such a clueless lot of incompetents destroying Australia to such an extent.If this Labor regime is re-elected at the next election, giving them power to at least mid-2031, the Australia that we once knew and loved will be irreparably destroyed. The next election is our last chance to save Australia.

This symbolises Andrews/Allan/Carroll attempt at covering up a 100 billion or more of Vic taxpayer money stolen so they can have another four years at it.
Is that Premier Benny taking the piss

I shared a clip on @instagram wherein some Muslim(s) were speaking of their genocidal hatred of non-Muslims. Instagram deleted my post because apparently I AM BEING BIGOTED. I share a clip of their genocidal hate but I'm the hateful one for sharing it. @Meta

The reason is that they are all such seasoned liars they can’t recognise a liar when they see one.
FIRE THE LIAR: Watch wananbe Labor minister Jillian Hill claim that “Albo has never lied”. Watch

Is it any wonder Australians are feeling so dispirited? That is a shocking list of trangressions and failings against the Australian people. History will not be kind to this regime.

How are we supposed to teach our kids & grandkids that it's wrong to tell lies when the person holding the highest office in the land lies habitually?

The public service has a reckoning coming. Paul Graham has been paid 13.6 million taxpayer dollars in his five years in charge of Australia Post. In his five years in charge Australia Post has suffered an operating loss of 320 million dollars. This is why the Australian taxpayer has to repay a debt of 1 trillion dollars. Our country is governed by greedy idiots.
This is Paul Graham, the bloke who runs Australia Post. He was paid $3.1 million this year. Australia post lost $108 million so he sold $126 million in property so he could show a paper profit of $18 million and claim his $1.3 million bonus. Nice work if you can get it.
