Congratulations, transport industry workers — your taxes just got flushed away again.

This week, Chris Bowen handed $19.63 million of your hard-earned money straight to Linfox, the company owned by billionaire Lindsay Fox (net worth ~$6 billion), so they could buy 26 electric trucks.

That’s $775,000 per truck — taxpayer-funded. Nice.

If these electric trucks are so great as Bowen claims, why the hell does a billionaire need a $775,000 gift per vehicle from struggling taxpayers?

Why can’t Lindsay Fox reach into his own $6 billion pocket?

This is just the latest episode in Bowen‘s and ALabor’s taxpayer-funded billionaire mateship program.

He’s already shovelled tens of millions to his other billionaire buddy, Twiggy Forrest.

Same script, different billionaire.

Let’s be honest: Bowen isn’t “investing in the future.” He’s buying future job security.

He’s using public money to build favours and networks so that when Labor gets booted at the next election — as they richly deserve — he’ll land softly on some cushy board or consultancy gig funded by the very billionaires he’s busy enriching right now.

Meanwhile, Labor has the gall to clutch their pearls and scream about Gina Rinehart supporting One Nation.

The hypocrisy is beyond rancid.

Billionaires getting taxpayer handouts from Labor? That’s “strategic industry policy.”

Billionaires exercising free speech and supporting a conservative party? That’s a “threat to democracy.”

Australian taxpayers aren’t stupid. This isn’t green energy — it’s green corruption.

Want to know where your taxpayer dollars are going in Australia?

West Sydney businessman Jamal Sabsabi charged the Australian taxpayer $340,000 for PHANTOM 24/7 disability services to PRISONERS sitting in JAIL CELLS.

He appears to have signed up dozens of prisoners across Sydney’s jails, presumably through kick backs to the prisoners or their families.

He then billed the government for 24/7 disability care support, which the Australian government proceeded to pay with no questions asked.

Jamal’s company, Freedom Care Group, was the only NDIS provider ever listed on the Australian stock market - the ASX. They managed to raise $3.2 million from investors while running this prisoner harvesting scheme.

This fraudulent prisoner-harvesting scheme would still be going on today were it not for a courageous whistleblower who alerted the NDIA.

His company was shut down by the government for fraud but the NDIS decided not to ban him as an individual.

To this day, there is no NDIS banning order on Jamal Sabsabi. He has never been charged or prosecuted for the prisoner harvesting scheme.

He continues to enjoy his $5 million bayside mansion despite the trail of destruction he left in his wake.

And now he’s back working in the NDIS with a new business.

What a system! @PeteZogoulas

Well this is infuriating.

Legacy media amping up the fear porn on the latest Diphtheria outbreak (mild form) to blame unvaccinated children.

What they’re not telling you is that in early May when there were 181 cases , records showed 74% of them had 3 or more doses of the vaccine.

No wonder they never wanted to do a proper study of vaxxed vs unvaxxed.

Australians, read this post, and then please write a polite email to your Federal MP

Ask them to reject the budget, else you're condemning us, and future generations to an even worse go.

Make Gen Y the last generation to be worse off than their parents.

#BREAKING The Albanese Government has pledged $42.5 million over three years (2026/27 – 2028/29) for immigrants who are HIV positive.

Why are we letting immigrants with HIV into our country?

Wouldn’t that be an immediate exclusion?

$49,296 is not a middle income. Yet in Australia it is taxed as though it is. It is in fact, the minimum wage. The tax brackets at the lower end are not set high enough, and it was never the intention of the creators of the progressive tax system, to punish the lowest income earners in this way.

To give this context, the average rental in Australia costs $33,800 a year. It costs about $5,896.80 per year to fuel the car once a week on today’s prices. That is $39,696.80 before tax is even considered, and then there is the small matter of food and incidentals like clothing.

A person earning minimum wage in Australia today will pay $6302 in taxes and Medicare levy. So, after rent, fuel and taxes, there is just $3297.20 to live. That’s $63.40 cents a week - better pray that rental has free electricity.

Back in the 80’s, the minimum wage was closer to $12,000 and the tax-free threshold was closer to half that amount, the rest of the wage fell into the next bracket not the middle bracket like it does today. Back then we refined our own fuel and had the cheapest electricity in the world. Purchasing power was much higher, and a family could live on that single income.

Today, a household wouldn’t survive on one wage.

Even a couple, both earning minimum wage would struggle to rent in a capital city. After living expenses and tax, there would hardly be enough left to put a bung in a flat tyre. Heaven forbid the fridge packing it in.

No wonder we have a birthrate crisis. No wonder we have a loneliness epidemic. No wonder people are just so sad.

The greatest insult to the worker on minimum wage, paying tax as a middle-income earner in this impossible environment is - without a doubt - watching the government waste the money.

Watching Ministers blow their travel allowances and funding the waste in the NDIS is just too much to take.

It isn’t fair.

The Parliament must urgently address this problem. Tax brackets need to be completely redrafted, especially on the lower end of the spectrum where every single dollar counts. The big borrowing, big spending Dr. Chalmers must learn to live within his means and find savings – just like the rest of us.

It’s tough.

I just want Australia back.

[Aus Integrity @QBCCIntegrity]

If you’re over 35 and have diligently saved every last penny just to protect yourself and family, this Labor government will be coming for YOU and your assets and savings, to cover its gross negligence.

This will be legalised theft.

We are under an openly hostile regime.

The speech I would write for Albo for tomorrow evening:

"My fellow Australians,

I come before you tonight amidst challenging times for Australia and the world.

With traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowing to a trickle compared with its normal flows, nations around the globe, including Australia face an uncertain future for our energy supplies should the crisis continue.

For this reason, I am calling for an emergency meeting of National Cabinet for Wednesday to discuss the issue with state and territory leaders, as well as with experts from relevant industries.

As part of our meeting we will prepare a series of plans to secure Australia's immediate energy future, by moving to conserve the fuel supplies we have and ensure that we have adequate supplies for as long as possible.

From this moment on, my government is making the recommendation that all Australians consider taking public transport instead of driving should that be appropriate for their journey.

I am also calling on employers from across the nation to consider allowing employees to work from home until the current crisis passes.

Australians are a deeply resilient people, we have shown that during the pandemic, the Depression and during two world wars.

When we are collectively called to work together to overcome adversity, we have done so on every occasion in our history and I am certain we will again.

As volatility in the energy supply market continues, my government will be making it clear that while we will attempt to keep our existing energy export commitments, that comes with an obligation to those whose economy's are powered with Australian energy products.

If we supply you with the liquefied natural gas, thermal coal and coking coal to feed your economy's, then we expect that you continue to provide us with the refined fuels such as petrol, diesel and jet fuel that we receive from you.

If you dont keep your commitments with us, then Australia will respond in kind.

My government will secure Australians energy future, no ifs or buts, we will do whatever is necessary to keep Australia moving.

In this the help of each and every Australian is vital, and I know we will collectively rise to the occasion, as we always have as a proud and united Australian people.

Thank you."

Only one politician in Parliament had the spine to speak up about the NDIS investigation.

The rest stayed silent.

Billions in potential misuse of taxpayer money… and almost nobody in Canberra wants to touch it.

So we’ll keep exposing it and go HARDER.

Thank you so much to Australian MP Rebekha Sharkie for shouting out our NDIS investigation in the Australian Parliament - ''@DrewPavlou and Pete have done an exceptional job in exposing potential fraud in the NDIS''
