A math problem: I earn $100,000 per year. Inflation rates are 10% annually. Intrest rates increase, goods and services rises by 20-30% min. Am i less valuable?
#BREAKING The father of slain Australian soldier Robert Poate says his son’s killer still roams free while Australia hunts its own.
Private Robert Poate, a young Australian soldier, was riddled with 11 bullets by an Afghan Army “friendly”
Hugh Poate said it’s hard to stomach the fact the Albanese Government has dropped the ball on that case while splashing millions of dollars investigating Ben Roberts-Smith.
An allied ANA soldier known as “Hekmatullah” who was being mentored by Australian soldiers, murdered three Aussies and wounded two others in an insider attack.
Within 20 minutes of that attack, a small team of SAS soldiers led by Roberts-Smith was tasked with a capture/kill mission of Hekmatullah.
It was on this mission that 5 “war crime murders” allegedly occurred.
Hekmatullah was later captured in Pakistan where, with chilling defiance, he proudly confessed to all 4 charges – murdering 3 Australian Soldiers, wounding two, treason and being a member of a terrorist organisation.
He was sentenced to death.
It was later revealed that DFAT was unbelievably opposed to the death sentence being carried out & Hekmatullah was subsequently released.
Today, he roams free in the mountains of Afghanistan, while Ben Roberts Smith is persecuted by Anthony Albanese.
Can you believe the government is profiting $300 million a month from the spike in fuel prices while you’re struggling?
As the pain at the pump increases, so does the government’s GST take on every litre.
We need to cut the fuel excise to give Australians immediate relief.
Minister Chris Bowen needs to declare a fuel emergency so we can force supplies to the regions who are growing food and stop the price gouging.
@benjamincowen Hey Ben, sorry if I missed it, in your opinion what is more important regarding the length of fair market hitting the 200 week or time related (may/oct 2026)? Ie if we hit the 200w this week could this be it?
In the aftermath of the Bondi terrorist attack the Albanese Labor government is introducing hate speech laws next week in Parliament in a Bill and explanation that is nearly 500 pages long.
These laws have been rushed with inadequate consultation with organisations, politicians, national security agencies and the general public.
Over the past four years we’ve seen how – time and time again – this government has rushed bills through only to see them fail to address the real problem. For example: the bill to address the release of detainees from detention centres just a few years ago. Many had heinous criminal offences and some reoffended after release yet nothing was done, and the rushed bill was a failure.
This is no doubt another one of those bills, but worse. Australians will be stripped of their freedom of speech, opinion and ability to express the pride they have in their culture and nationality.
I want to explain to the people my grave concerns about this manipulative, controlling, politically driven piece of legislation. It needs to be called out, and people have a right to be informed.
The PM wants to appear that he has Australians concerns at heart but when the public have less than two days to make a submission to a snap inquiry on the legislation, it’s obvious he is not interested in what you have to say.
Do I always get it right? No, but I am trying to inform you. Look at what's happened to a councillors in Britain for saying she was 'bron and bred' there. It is up to you to fight back and send in a submission opposing this legislation, or accept it and live with the consequences.
Here are some concerns I have with just one section, 80.2BF.
‘Intimidation’, which is not defined in the Bill, and ‘to fear harassment’ are two very low bars that mean almost anything could be made a criminal offence. 'Fear' is a personal expression and we have seen in domestic violence courts that no evidence is needed to prove someone is in fear, so where is the onus of proof here. ‘Hatred’ is also very open to interpretation and vague.
So to criticise the immigration program and say migrants from certain countries shouldn't be accepted into Australia will be an offence. Government has recently put tougher requirements on student visas from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan - haven't they just committed an offence based on someone's national origin?
Talking about banning the burqa certainly will be an offence.
Criticising the immigration program would probably be an offence because that may cause migrants to feel intimidated because of their national origin.
Subsection (1)(b)(ii) could make someone saying ‘Australia is the best country in the world’ a criminal subject to 5 years in prison. Will flying the Australian flag be an offence as well? That’s disseminating ideas of superiority (the best) over a group of people based on their national origin (not being Australian).
Subsection (3) says for the purposes of subsection 1 it is IMMATERIAL for the offence whether anyone actually felt intimidated or feared harassment, or even whether they were the national or ethnic origin targeted.
Subsection (4) means - quoting from the religious texts of Islam that call for violence on other people would be exempted from the offence. So some of the worst calls to violence would still go unpunished.
These powers are huge and could be weaponised against everyday Australians. Do you trust politicians with this power? I don’t.
@BCBacker I appreciate you telling us, been following you for a very long time.
I appreciate the heads up that you think the top may be in.
Keep being honest, the reaction of everyone rejecting it may be more proof
@FranMooMoo@grok was this reported on mainstream media and if reported what was the tone of the report along with comments. So not hallucinate in your answer
An Australian mother who wanted to give her child puberty blockers has been stripped of custody!
The gender clinic, an expert witness, the Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health, and a previous judge who tried to downplay the Cass Review have all been severely rebuked in a stunning victory for sanity in Australia. 🧵
