The most important piece of legislation this century was the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Act 2025, which limits donations to political parties. It was supposed to come into effect last July but it was postponed to January 2027.

If I think a party's policy is good, I'm not a 'supporter' of that party. If I think a party's policy is bad, I'm not a 'supporter' of the other party. I wish more people understood that it's possible to have an objective view on a policy without pulling on a team's jersey.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Why isn't the media demanding the name of the @Australian_Navy Person of Interest (POI) and where the investigation is currently up to? The @RichardMarlesMP @CDF_Aust and @Australian_Navy have already stood a sailor down so they have who has admitted to the crime. Is it because it's a female Lesbian sailor that it's being kept away from the media?

New research shows that 80 million Americans are afraid to express religious doubts. The documentary HEATHENS follows five of them when they stopped pretending, paid the price of truth, and rebuilt free, joyful lives. I found the film moving, even shocking.Catch an upcoming screening in SF, LA or NY. With US mid-terms coming up, it's a good time to examine beliefs and values.heathens.movie

60%Victoria- on-stockholm
7%NSW
30%ACT the chardonnay bubble
3%SA the mendicant state

The Ghost of Governance is independent. If you disagree, I invite you to point to a specific argument or position that you believe demonstrates otherwise.
I’ll tell you what has become normalised in Victoria @JoshFrydenberg - home invasions - machete attacks in the streets - machete attacked in shopping centres - burglaries - property damage - assault - breaches of bale conditions - closed police stations - drug dealing, cultivation and trafficking

Albo's office seems to be playing the same way as Dan Andrews' Premier's Office. Then again, Albo takes advice from Andrews...

Public servants should not have broad latitude to work from home. Of all roles, theirs requires the highest demonstrable accountability and visibility of output. When the taxpayer is the sole client, physical presence is the baseline. There is no coherent case for remote work in roles funded entirely by public money.

Disaster deaths have collapsed over 90% since the 1920s even as the global population quadrupled. Energy abundance, engineering, early warning systems, and rising wealth turned lethal events into manageable ones. Green climate alarmists run a doomerism death cult as a grift, pushing energy poverty and degrowth that would reverse the exact progress keeping people alive.
