A million Americans died. Workers lost jobs to mandates. Kids lost years of school they'll never get back. Businesses closed for good. Today my committee voted to hold Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer for any of it.

STATEMENT
WHEN SMALL BUSINESSES STOP HIRING, AUSTRALIA’S FUTURE PAYS THE PRICE
The Reserve Bank’s decision to leave interest rates on hold will provide little comfort to Australian small businesses already facing higher costs, weaker consumer demand and growing uncertainty.
During Labor’s term in office, Australians have endured fifteen interest rate increases, leaving households with less money to spend and businesses with less confidence to invest.
The consequences are being felt throughout the economy.
Construction remains Australia’s hardest-hit industry for insolvencies, while accommodation and food services are not far behind. These are sectors that rely on affordable finance, consumer confidence and a willingness to invest in growth.
When confidence falls, businesses do not just delay expansion. They delay hiring and become less likely to take on apprentices.
Small businesses train the next generation of builders, electricians, mechanics and hospitality workers. For many Australians, an apprenticeship is the first step towards a rewarding career, owning a home and building a better future. When small businesses are struggling to survive, those opportunities are put at risk.
Australians want the opportunity to get ahead, but aspiration cannot thrive when small businesses lack the confidence to invest and grow.
That starts with an economy that rewards aspiration, backs small business and supports the skills needed to grow our nation.

Jordan Peterson made a profound point on Chris Williamson’s podcast.
When God dies, a lot of unexpected things die with Him, including science.
Science isn’t some purely neutral, secular tool. It rests on deeply religious assumptions: that truth exists, that it’s knowable, that pursuing it is good, and that the universe makes sense.
These aren’t scientific claims, they’re metaphysical, rooted in a religious worldview. The universities themselves grew out of monasteries.
Without that deeper foundation, science eventually stops being about truth and becomes just another tool for power, ideology, or convenience. You lose the reason to be honest when the data gets inconvenient.
Do you think science can survive long-term without any belief in objective truth or a higher moral order?
🇦🇺 Australia: Liberal Party's Angus Taylor and Tony Abbott have both backed a preference deal with Pauline Hanson's One Nation, after the party topped a national poll for the first time.
Abbott: "It makes sense for parties of the right to preference each other just as parties of the left have always done."
Taylor: "We’ll work with whoever we can to get rid of a rotten Labor government."
This follows strong voter support for a conservative alliance in recent Sky News polling, amid One Nation’s surge to ~29-31% primary vote. Some moderate Liberals remain opposed.
Classic right-wing preference flow strategy in action.
