So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

Europe: The Demographics Special 🇪🇺
A Portuguese X user caused a stir online with a sharp and witty observation:
“500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians—who, in turn, cannot defeat 40 million Ukrainians—all while failing to realize that they themselves are under the sway of 2 billion Muslims, who claim to be persecuted by 9 million Israelis.”
The arithmetic checks out. 📊

THE NATION IS ON FIRE.

We have a government that is completely out of control. This is worse than the dying days of Whitlam.

🔥The Prime Minister has misled Parliament in a desperate attempt to cover up the corrupt up the $6 million Marrickville Golf Club affair.

🔥The regime bullied Helen Haines by leaking a dirt sheet simply for speaking out against Albanese’s Marrickville Golf Club rort.

🔥They appear to have attempted to bribe a One Nation MP by offering him an extra $200,000 per annum staffing allowance — conduct that looks like a criminal offence under the Criminal Code.

🔥Ministers, including the Attorney-General, have been caught red-handed rorting their travel allowances and were forced to pay the money back.

🔥A clueless nincompoop in Chris Bowen is destroying our national electricity grid, driving power prices through the roof, and surrendering the competitive advantage Australia once held in low-cost energy. Businesses are shuttering shops across the country as a direct result.

🔥The biggest infrastructure project in the nation, Snowy 2.0, is a national embarrassment of financial incompetence — a giant money pit. The original $2 billion budget has blown out to between $40 and $50 billion, and it may still climb higher.

🔥A disgraced former New Zealand Prime Minister is being rewarded with a “Professor” title to farcically lecture on cohesion at the University of Sydney — an institution that already receives more than $1.2 billion in taxpayer funding.

🔥Meanwhile the economy is collapsing. Unemployment is rising. The government has lost control of inflation. Interest rates are set to rise again on Melbourne Cup day.

🔥GDP per capita is going backwards. Homelessness is at record levels.

🔥Productivity is in freefall. Productive businesses such as the Blayney Gold Mine are being blocked on fictitious grounds.

🔥Millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent apologising for paedophiles while the same government passes new laws to censor free speech, claiming they are “protecting the children.”

🔥Our military is under attack. They are persecuting Ben Roberts-Smith. They are trying to sell off Victoria Barracks. Our two largest naval vessels cannot put to sea. And they are planning to rewrite the War Memorial with exhibitions designed to shame Australians over the fact that Aboriginal societies were rescued from the Stone Age.

🔥Dodgy Dan Andrews is pulling the Prime Minister’s strings, having him attend suspect meetings with dodgy Chinese billionaires who are in dispute with the tax office.

🔥biological men are being given free rein to invade women’s and girls’ toilets and changerooms.

🔥Crime is surging. Home invasions, carjackings and machete mayhem — once foreign to Australia — are now everyday events under this government.

🔥Children are being so brainwashed by the Marxist infiltration of our education system that they planned to protest on Remembrance Day.

🔥Unprecedented rates of mass migration are being deployed as a tool to import Labor voters, as more and more Australians are feeling like foreigners in their own land.

“But the other side’s fraud was more! So it’s OK”
No, it’s not OK. The PM needs to resign.

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

The “climate crisis” is the biggest scam in scientific history. There's not one shred of empirical evidence that we are facing a crisis because the planet is slightly warmer than it was during the depths of the Little Ice Age.

Hey @AlboMP
Care to explain the difference between this and the 6.8 million given to your golf club?

[Fusilier @firstfusilier]

This is @AlboMP in 2020 commenting on then Coalition Minister Bridget McKenzie who admitted to breaching ministerial standards by failing to formally declare her membership at the Wangaratta Trap and Gun Club, which received $36,000 in federal funding through a Sports Funding program. She resigned.

Thanks to @rovingallround for the clip.

@PollyWi92611992 @DavidShoebridge Seriously? You think a terrorist loving communist is your leader.

I am standing on the service road for a turbine on a wind farm in Far North Qld. Each of these turbines is over 250 metres high and the blades are about 85m, meaning that very wide access corridors are needed. Each platform is 1-2ha. There will be about 31,000 of these around Australia by 2032 and many, like this one, will be in high biodiversity areas.

The beautiful Australian bush and many rural communities are under threat like never before. Whole regions, like the Darling Downs, will become industrial wastelands with wind farms and data centres springing up everywhere with virtually no pre-planning and they will join the thousands of coal seam gas wells and associated infrastructure already there.

The bush and urban allies need to resist this. I think we should demand a moratorium on these potentially destructive developments until the Australian community is satisfied that there are adequate safeguards.

BREAKING: Department of Infrastructure officials have just confirmed what many suspected: the $6 million federal grant to Marrickville Golf Club in Anthony Albanese’s electorate was not for fixing sewerage issues.

Albanese repeatedly told Parliament and the ABC that the money was to stop raw sewage flowing into the Cooks River during floods.

Officials at Senate estimates were clear: “It does not include sewerage works.”

The actual project, according to departmental briefs, FOI documents and council minutes:

$4.5m went to the clubhouse redevelopment (bar, toilets, pro shop, alfresco dining, dog station)

$1m stormwater harvesting.

$0.5m landscaping/native plantings
The septic/sewage connection was handled separately by a $269,500 NSW Government grant in 2025.

This is the same club where Albanese held an undisclosed honorary membership dating back years, something he says he didn’t know about and never used, despite being caught on camera at the club hundreds of times.

People have been forced to stand down over far less.

Barry O’Farrell resigned as NSW Premier in 2014 after ICAC evidence showed he received a bottle of Penfolds Grange (valued at around $3,000) that he failed to declare and initially denied receiving.

One bottle. One denial. Career over.

Here we have a Prime Minister whose department has contradicted his public statements about a $6 million grant to a club in his own seat, after an undeclared membership was revealed, and he remains in office.

If a bottle of Grange ended a Premier, what standard are we applying now?

[Ryan Dally @Ryandally08]

@AlboMP There is no wins for Aussies as long as you’re the PM.

Barry O’Farrell resigned over a bottle of wine but you gave your mates at the golf club $6m and think everything’s alright.

Resign.

[Derek Paul @DSL1138]

I expect nothing less from a PM who doesn’t like scrutiny.

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonMP]

So much for a nicer Parliament @AlboMP.
Just before midnight we were advised that Treasurer @JEChalmers is introducing another Tax Bill today that they intend to ram through Parliament today.

We now see the full extent of preplanning and empire-building that went into the United Nations' global warming campaign.

It was all behind the scenes. Today, the UN has a workforce of roughly 190,000 and an annual budget of $3.45 billion. It has become a vast self-managing, self perpetuating bureaucracy - arguably the largest non-governmental network in the world. The UN had been laying the groundwork for an environmental crisis for decades before it was finally announced in 1988.

The UN took control of the World Meteorological Organization in 1951, transforming it into a specialised UN agency. The WMO operates with an annual budget of approximately $138.7 million and has a staff of 350 to 400.

The WMO bridges the gap between raw meteorological data, international political agendas and global news media - linking thousands of land stations, ocean buoys, aircraft and satellites. While its stated role is to share critical weather and water data, this massive infrastructure has been effectively co-opted into a public relations framework.

Consequently, the world has been bombarded with weather hysteria for almost 40 years. Mainstream news outlets routinely prioritise speculative, worst-case climate models over empirical observations - like 'rain bombs' - maintaining a permanent state of crisis designed to shape public compliance.

The information gathering agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, runs the scientific arm. It operates with a core secretariat of just 15 staff members and an annual budget of roughly $12.5 million. The IPCC was established 38 years ago, ostensibly as a neutral body to gather objective scientific information on climate.

In reality, the IPCC became the driving force behind the greatest environmental and social upheaval in modern history. Highly politicised from its inception, it was founded entirely by UN agencies - the WMO and the UN Environment Programme. This gave the UN absolute control over the global climate agenda and funded what has become the largest propaganda campaign in history.

The UN has also run annual fund raising COP summits around the world for 30 years. They have become junkets for the rich and privileged.

The IPCC did not recruit independent scientific staff; instead, its administrative apparatus actively sponsors and selects studies that supported the carbon dioxide hypothesis. Research raising questions or doubts are minimised or discarded. Critics find their studies starved of funding and publishers, while some even faced threats to their academic tenures.

Local weather outlets and national agencies now operate inside an ecosystem heavily influenced by these overarching, high-alarm targets, broadcasting continuous warnings of 'global boiling', catastrophic sea-level rise, and 'Code Red for Humanity' - with UN leadership acting as the chief amplifier. This environment birthed foundational, highly charged studies designed to lock in future warming projections.

For decades, the UN promoted only extreme scenarios. A prime example is the IPCC's reliance on high-end warming trajectories - such as projections warning of up to a 5.5-degree temperature rise - predictions so extreme that even mainstream scientists have increasingly conceded they are implausible.

Armed with a crisis of its own making, the UN called for the rapid dismantling of hydrocarbon fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - the very energy sources that lifted humanity out of stagnation and powered the Industrial Revolution. Almost every aspect of modern civilisation, from transport networks to industrial manufacturing, relies entirely on these dense, inexpensive and reliable energy sources.

Climate management bears no relation to the UN’s foundational charter of resolving international conflict; it's a textbook case of bureaucratic mission creep.

The sheer complexity of this UN machinery, combined with an aura of technical authority, is precisely what insulates it from public scrutiny.

[Derek Paul @DSL1138]

@isaacrrr7 Why did it take so long?

[Derek Paul @DSL1138]

@Al_Campbell44 @mc18120 @CalTwomey That's only if they trade their top 5 pick, which they haven't. The compensation come from their top 5 pick (Pick 1), and it's allocated after their second round pick - pick 21, which they traded to Brisbane. So yeah, Brisbane has the first pick on the second night.
