At some point, the people of Australia have to push back on the corruption that is ruining the welfare of millions of honest people.

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science...

The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.

However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.

It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.

When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

We've arrived at the final boss of the media outrage against One Nation.

Step 1. Promote One Nation to make sure everyone knows who they are.

Step 2. Get people to agree a little bit with their policies.

Step 3. Poison the well with a series of staged character assassinations using false, misleading, and fabricated accusations.

Step 4. Accuse anyone of supporting One Nation as being 'crazy' and shameful.

Step 5. Launder the soiled reputations of Labor and the Coalition by presenting them as 'the sensible saviour' by comparison. Literally. Those parties did not do a single thing to improve themselves.

Step 6. Congratulations, multiculturalism, NDIS, indigenous activism, net zero, globalism, covid ... it's all been protected. Anyone who questions these policies is 'One Nation' crazy.

This is how propaganda works, kids.

It's not about One Nation. It's about your vote.

At the end of the day - YOUR concerns about the nation have been swept under the carpet.

The media empire and political class have shown that they have NO INTENTION of fixing the problems their uncosted dangerous policies caused.

Your taxes will keep going up.

Your nation will keep being destroyed.

And the only party that tried to stop it has been safely removed from democracy.

At least, that's what they tried to do.

#Around *12,000 Australians lost over *$1.1 billion in retirement savings following the collapse of high-risk, managed investment schemes—most notably #FirstGuardian and #Shield.

#The corporate watchdog, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), investigated trustees and advisers for placing members' retirement balances into these doomed structures.

#The collapses decimated the retirement nest eggs of thousands of workers, with some investors seeing their entire balances almost completely wiped out (for example, balances dropping from over $130,000 to single digits).

#The fallout involved several critical factors:

#TheCollapses:

First Guardian held over $505 million for roughly 6,000 investors, while Shield absorbed a similar amount. Liquidators found that investments were severely overvalued, millions were funneled into related-party ventures, and funds were spent on personal luxuries.

#ASIC Action:

ASIC investigated the platforms involved and warned trustees against prioritizing adviser relationships over protecting members' super. The corporate watchdog has scrutinized trustees such as Equity Trustees for how these funds were accessed.

#OngoingRecovery:

Liquidators warned that recovering these outstanding investments is a lengthy and complicated process, with some returns not expected until 2027 at the earliest.

#AustralianSuper faced a notable $1.1 billion capital loss on its investment in the software company Pluralsight, which was heavily impacted by high interest rates and was reported in late 2024 and early 2025.
#Additionally, the fund took a $100 million loss on the collapse of cobalt miner
Jervois.

@brisbanedavid1 @OMGTheMess @BaronBlacky Easy to see that those who've worked and saved for their retirement will be funding the pensions of those who didn't.
That reduces the amount the Gov spends (our money) on aged pensions. There are many who've lived on Centrelink their whole lives with no super

The Hidden Risks Behind Labor’s Push to Merge Superannuation and Social Security.

Australia is being told to view the proposed merger of superannuation and Centrelink as a bold reform; a modernisation of retirement policy, a streamlining of welfare, a clever administrative fix. But that framing is the sugar‑coating. The reality underneath is far more consequential and far more dangerous for ordinary Australians.
Superannuation isn’t just a single pool of money held by a handful of large funds. It includes every pension scheme in the country: police, firefighters, ambulance officers, teachers, public servants; the backbone of Australia’s essential workforce. All of these funds sit under the same legislative umbrella. And once they are folded into a Centrelink‑controlled system, the government gains something it has never had before: direct access to the retirement savings of millions of Australians.
This proposal is not about efficiency. It is not about modernisation. It is about access: access to money that was never the government's to touch.
Under the model being floated, Centrelink would determine how much of your own savings you are permitted to withdraw. The ATO would automatically apply taxes before you ever see the money. And at the end of the financial year, you would be left to claw back whatever portion the system decides you’re entitled to reclaim. The independence Australians have always had over their retirement savings would evaporate.
Worse still, your home, the equity you’ve spent decades building, becomes another variable in the welfare equation. A private asset becomes a public lever.
And what does this unlock for the government?
A vast reservoir of funds that can be quietly redirected into immigration programs, housing schemes, and support for new arrivals, all without raising taxes or justifying new spending to voters. It is a redistribution pipeline disguised as “retirement reform.”
This is not the Australian Dream. It is Labor’s version of it; a version where your lifetime savings, your pension, and even your home are repurposed as tools for government policy rather than assets you control.
Australians deserve a retirement system that protects their independence, not one that absorbs their hard‑earned savings into bureaucracy. They deserve transparency, not a structural overhaul that masks fiscal opportunism behind the language of reform. And they deserve a government that respects the boundary between public welfare and private retirement, a boundary that exists for a reason. And, potentially, opens the door to another untapped resource, annual personal property taxes.
The stakes are enormous. This proposal isn’t just a policy shift. It’s a redefinition of ownership, responsibility, and the social contract itself.
The question to voters is this: Will you vote for Labor and allow this to happen, and if they do force through these communist laws, seize your superannuation, and give it to Centerlink to distribute, what will you do about it?

Please stop this bad man from destroying my future.

[Bender @Bender_Aus]

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO REALLY RUNS THIS COUNTRY?

It’s not who you voted for. I’ve spent months in the official records, AEC returns, the lobbyist register, Senate inquiries, ATO data.

What I found scares the hell out of me.

Start with the money. Every single year for 27 years, a group of companies has funded Labor AND the Coalition at the same time. Never fewer than 24 of them. Last year, 94, the biggest on record. They don’t bet on a winner. They buy both. Add $1 billion in dark money since 1999 that nobody can trace, and five donors supplying a quarter of ALL party funding this century.

Now the names. Andrew Robb signed the China trade deal as minister, then walked into an $880,000 a year job with Landbridge, the Chinese company holding the 99 year lease on Darwin Port.

Christopher Pyne ran Defence, then advised EY on defence.

Julie Bishop ran Foreign Affairs, then joined the board of an aid contractor feeding off her old department.

Both cleared.

Marise Payne, another former foreign minister, now works for a lobbying firm. The Grattan Institute found 1 in 4 ministers end up working for the industries they used to regulate. The rule against it has never once produced a real penalty.

Behind them, a record 707 registered lobbyists and over 2,000 unregistered pass holders roaming Parliament’s private corridors with no record of who they meet. When one senator pushed for an inquiry, Labor and the Liberals teamed up to kill it. The one thing they always agree on.

Then your money. Federal contracts to the big four consultancies grew 1,270% in a decade. PwC charged taxpayers nearly $1 million for a Robodebt report it never delivered, an 8 slide PowerPoint, while leaking our secret tax plans to clients like Google.

KPMG stands accused of billing Defence for work never done, after hiring almost 100 ex Defence staff.

Nobody went to jail for any of it.

And the payback? Over 1,100 companies earning $100 million plus paid ZERO income tax in 2023-24. The ATO published the list itself.

Who tells you about all this?

Four companies control 84% of our newspapers. Only Brazil has a more concentrated media on the planet.

Follow the loop:

●Hidden money funds the parties.

●Ministers retire into the industries they regulated.

●Those industries pay nothing back.

And the megaphone deciding what you hear is owned by a handful of boardrooms.

You’ve thrown the government out four times since 1998. Not one part of that loop was interrupted for a single year.

Labor and Liberal aren’t driving the car. They’re taking turns holding the wheel while someone else owns the road.

None of it is illegal. That’s the problem.

I'm in Thailand population 72m population.

They don't five a fuck about climate change or emissions.

Neither do Phillipines 110m population.

Neither do Indonesia with a population of 265m.

Why is that? Because they are too busy trying to survive.

Australia, with a population of 26m, is going to save the planet on its own by destroying its economy.

If you believe that you need help.
