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.

Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold.
Aging is not gentle.
You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses.
But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call.
The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces
- are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the stories anyway.
To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do.
But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered.
And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body.
It is memory looking for a place to rest.
And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen.
Not to fix anything.
Just to be there.
That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing.

Yet another local farm stand got plundered by migrants this morning, this time in the small countryside town of Hunsel. These last semblances of a high-trust society are rapidly disappearing due to incessant, shameless theft by hostile invaders.

🇦🇺 BOB KATTER:

“They allowed these people into our country.

They allowed them to bring with them their hatred and wars.

They allowed them to freely burn our flag and make anti-Australian and antisemitic statements.

They encouraged them to live in radical ethnic enclaves in our major cities.

They provided them with welfare, offering no encouragement for work.

The pro-Palestinian radicals have no interest in becoming Australian. They are fanatical. They bring their own wars and hatred to our shores and have commitment to ensure we become like them.

The federal government must immediately implement a strict unapologetic policy of "NO MIGRATION WITHOUT ASSIMILATION".

The people coming into this country through the migration floodgates must be asked: 'Do you come from countries with rule of law? Do you come from countries with democracy? Do you come from countries with Judea-Christian values? Do you come from countries with industrial awards?'. For the Middle Eastern, North African crowd, the answer is no, no, no, no.”
