BREAKING: Kuwait releases footage of an Iranian missile impacting a civilian terminal at their airport.
Where is the outage?
Suddenly, Starmer and Macron are completely silent.
Australia’s new minimum wage is $26.44 an hour. A full-time worker earning the legal minimum now falls into the middle income tax bracket. Bracket creep has reached the point where minimum wage workers are being taxed as “middle income”.
It isn’t easy under Albanese.

Anthony Albanese buried a 30% inheritance tax in the budget papers and hoped nobody would notice. Now, Australians are finding out the truth. Labor’s Budget of broken promises attacks aspiration with higher taxes on investment, higher taxes on savings, higher taxes on housing and higher taxes on small business. Labor is also coming after family inheritances. Australians who work hard and save for their children should not be punished with new taxes buried in Budget papers.
Labor must come clean about its plans and rule out any future death taxes in full.

Here’s your knife to cut through Jim’s spin:
• Only 3 of the 5 changes are new in this latest budget
• $79,000 per year income has been assumed here
• $1,000 deduction without receipts from 2026 ($300 reduction assuming they wouldn’t have claimed as much or more with receipts anyway)
• $250 reduction per year for workers from 2027
• Income tax bracket from 16% to 15% from 2026 to 14% from 2027 ($540 per year from 2027)
• Total ~$1,100 reduction in income tax as of 2027
• With average $50,000 annual expenses, inflation will erode disposable income by ~$3,750 per year
• Net position is they’ll go backwards by ~$2,650 per year from 2027
One Nation supports Australians being able to negatively gear up to two investment properties.
There are about two million property investors in Australia; about 75% of them own only one investment property and another 19% own two.
One Nation supports these Australians who have worked hard and invested in their future while increasing the availability of rental accommodation.
Labor is pulling up the ladder behind them on younger Australians with its changes to negative gearing and the CGT discount.
Albanese will be able to negatively gear his existing property forever, young people won’t.
Labor wants Australians to be dependent on government, not independent of it.
This man is incredible. Australia is $1.1 trillion in debt. Our 10-year bond yield is pushing 5%. Our 30-year is around 5.5%. South Australians already pay some of the highest electricity prices in the developed world. Yet Canberra still talks like money is free. We’re told “net zero” could cost hundreds of billions; possibly more than a trillion dollars once transmission, storage, firming and subsidies are included.
Meanwhile Chris Bowen is building a travelling bureaucracy around COP summits while ordinary Australians are cutting back groceries and struggling with mortgages. At some point, government has to reconnect with engineering reality and fiscal reality.
A nation cannot deindustrialise itself into prosperity. Chris has got to go.
One Nation supports negative gearing being allowed on 2 homes for everyone.
The Labor government claims to be helping the younger generation, yet they’re taking away an investment strategy that has been used by generations before them.
We completely oppose the changes to CGT.
This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me.
Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000
I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k
If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year.
Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax
But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.
Under Labor’s new tax:
— You can walk into a casino, come out $1000 ahead, and pay $0 tax
— but if you make $1000 on shares/ETFs, you will pay $300-470 in tax
— if you build & sell a business, the ATO now takes 30-47% of your gain
Gambling is tax-free. Investing is punished.
I did not realise they were taxing gross rather than net gains… AFR: Investors with diversified share portfolios making a mix of gains and losses compared to inflation could face tax rates of more than 100 per cent on real gains, due to the Albanese government not compensating investors for underperforming stocks.
A former senior Treasury tax official and a hedge fund manager both warned that people with a diversified portfolio of shares could face tax rates 50 per cent higher than Treasury calculated… Chalmers’ office and Treasury were contacted for comment on Thursday about whether real losses would be indexed to inflation.
Under another example, an investor buys shares in Coles and Woolworths, with one outperforming inflation and the other underperforming inflation.
The overall real return is zero after inflation, but the investor would pay tax on the winning stock.
If an investor instead bought an ETF of supermarkets with the same overall result, they would pay no tax.

Albanese stated 97 times before the 2022 election that electricity prices would be reduced 275 dollars a year due to Labors policies.
Albanese stated 50 times before the 2025 election , he would not touch negative gearing or capital tax.
If Labor win the next election, Albanese will take that as a mandate to bring in an inheritance tax. You can take that to the bank. He can no longer be trusted.
Tax on investment gains
🇳🇿 NZ: 0%
🇸🇬 Singapore: 0%
🇨🇦 Canada: 27% max
🇬🇧 UK: 20% – 24% max
🇺🇸 US: 20% max
🇮🇱 Israel: 25% (Standard)
❌❌ 🇦🇺 Australia: 30% - 47%
Labor’s new minimum capital gains tax is HIGHER than the max in most nations.
Higher taxes = less investment.
Zehra Duman, another ISIS terrorist who came from Melbourne, had this to say about Australians:
"Kill kuffar in alleyways, stab them and poison them. Poison your teachers. Go to haram restaurants and poison the food in large quantities. US + Australia, how does it feel that all 5 of us were born n raised in your lands, & now here thirsty for ur blood?"
Once ISIS was defeated, she begged to come back to Australia in 2019. However, she was stripped of her citizenship, and later detained in Turkey.
She has since been freed and lives in Turkey, still wanting to return - and curiously, after Anthony Albanese came into power, he restored her Australian citizenship in 2023.
Two weeks ago, an IDF soldier desecrated a statue of Jesus. Within 48 hours, the political establishment of Israel condemned it, and jailed the soldier.
There were hundreds of thousands of posts.
Today, 29 Christians were massacred by Islamists in Nigeria.
Not a word.
Weird.
This week has been the tale of three interest rate changes.
The day before the RBA lifted interest rates for families, the Labor Government announced it would use taxpayer funding to cut interest rates on EV loans provided by Hyundai and Kia. And the day after the RBA’s rate hike, Labor announced its new Net Zero Fund would hand out loans to massive renewable companies at a reduced interest rate.
So this week there have been two interest rate cuts for Labor’s friends who are obsessed with net zero, and an interest rate hike for Aussie families that Labor says it can do nothing about.
More in the @couriermail today.
There has actually been 2 interest rate decisions this week.
The lesser known interest rate change was Labor announcing today that it would CUT the interest rate that large solar and wind developers face to borrow from the government.
The Government is doing nothing to help those families that will struggle to pay their mortgage because the RBA increased interest rates yesterday.
Yet in the very same week Labor is CUTTING interest rates for companies - often overseas companies - to spend billions on massive net zero energy projects.
Labor's priorities put companies ahead of families, the rich over the poor and the big over the small.
Australia just raised interest rates today. RAISED them.
Every other developed economy on earth is cutting
🇺🇸 cut
🇬🇧 cut
🇪🇺 cut
🇨🇦 cut
🇳🇿 cut
🇸🇪 cut
🇨🇭 cut
🇦🇺 hike
The RBA cut rates 3 times in 2025 then did a full U turn less than 6 months later. It’s the first major central bank to go from cuts back to hikes since Covid
why? Our government spending is at its highest since the 80s.
So the average aussie with a $700k mortgage just got hit with an extra $105 each month; and banks are already forecasting ANOTHER hike in May
Our government spends like money is free and then Aussies pay the price
We are so cooked.
Donald Trump is the only world leader trying to pressure Nigeria into protecting its Christian population from Islamic attacks - and yet he is brushed aside or condemned by state media in the West.
Where did all the activists and humanitarians go?
