The market has spoken. The modelling got it wrong. ๐๐ก
Three months after the Federal Budget, the data is telling a very different story from what was promised. Instead of easing affordability, rents have surged, higher-priced homes have fallen, and the lower end of the market, where first home buyers are trying to get in, has remained resilient because thereโs simply not enough supply. Good policy should be judged by real-world outcomes, not good intentions. When the evidence doesnโt match the modelling, itโs time to rethink the policy, not ignore the results. ๐ค

A One Nation would take immediate action to restore our living standards, ease cost of living pressures and get our economy back on track.
- Cut mass immigration.
- Slash government overspending and wasteful spending.
- Abolish the climate change department. Axe net zero and exit Paris.
- Cut red, green, black and blue tape that is standing in the way of our sovereignty.
Itโs time to back Australian industries, cut unnecessary regulations and put Australians first!
After a certain age,
your parents slowly become your children.
They ask same questions again.
They repeat stories you've heard a thousand times.
They forget little things.
Their steps become slower.
Their world becomes smaller.
And without realizing it...
The people who once carried you through life begin depending on you.
Very few people recognize this role reversal.
What feels like an inconvenience is often just time reminding us that nothing lasts forever.
Don't rush them.
Don't correct them harshly.
Don't make them feel like a burden.
One day, their voice will be silent.
The questions will stop.
The stories will never be told again.
And you'll wish for just one more interruption...
One more repeated story...
One day, you'll give anything to hear those same stories again.
One more chance to hear them call your name.
Growing old is a privilege not everyone receives.
Care for them the way they once cared for you
Itโs repayment.ย
It's the final way we say...
Thank you for spending your life loving me .
More than six weeks after the Oxford Union promised to publish my June debate speech, the full video is still being withheld โ while extracts of their own footage of the debate have appeared elsewhere, heavily edited.
I filmed my own speech with the Unionโs knowledge and agreement as an insurance policy and backup. So Iโm publishing it myself. They must release the entire debate.
Should the West be suspicious of Islam?
For young men, the most important issue is the ability to get a job and make enough money to support a family.
For young women, the main issue is to be able to kill their baby.
How and when did women become so retarded?
When the cheap money dried up and global supply chain costs jumped, major offshore developers worldwide began walking away from key projects, forfeiting massive deposits.
Without government-mandated price hikes or taxpayer bailouts, the long-term balance sheets no longer added up. Yet the projects are still pushed to meet political targets โ regardless of how high our power bills climb.
On land, the story is no better. The giant composite blades and multi-megawatt gearboxes face immense structural wear, turbulence and fatigue. Around years 12 to 15, maintenance costs rocket upward - just as turbine efficiency begins to drop.
A hydroelectric dam or traditional power station can run for 60 to 80 years with routine overhauls. A wind turbine faces a brick wall at year 20.
Rebuilding a wind farm โ dismantling giant towers, disposing of unrecyclable composite blades and replacing nacelles โ can consume 50% to 70% of the original capital outlay.
As turbines age, they also suffer severe 'value cannibalisation'. Because every turbine in a region generates power at the exact same time when the wind blows, they routinely collapse wholesale prices into negative territory. They produce power when it is worth the least.
We are repeatedly told that wind is 'the cheapest source of electricity'. If true, why does the sector require permanent economic underwriting to keep investor confidence?
The market doesn't pay for energy at average production costs; it pays for energy when and where it is needed. The true cost of wind includes long-distance transmission lines, fast-ramping back-up generation and frequency control.
Without long-term Contracts for Difference (CfDs) and guaranteed floor prices, the core business model of wind energy implodes like a house of cards when exposed to true, unsubsidised market forces. (End)
