#SYDNEY Albanese said in May when the FIRST of the Defence sites were sold off that an 'audit' (which wasn't really an audit) had found just SEVERAL Defence Sites would be divested ....
Labor 'fast tracked' the one in #HOBART that was one of over SIXTY sites Marles and Albo are going to flog off. (Numbers never were Albanese's strong point)
The bloke couldn't lie straight in bed!! #Adelaide

Here is Anthony Albanese in New York. He had already signed the EU deal, where the Paris agreement is made into law and enforced, including Australian farmers, where they must reduce emissions, policed by the EU.

This meeting is just as alarming as the EU deal. This is about signing Australia up to " Horizon Europe "

Horizon Europe is about wealth distribution. Social media compliance, tracking citizens, 15 min cities, and all the rest of the woke ideology out of the EU. This is all policed by the EU. They don't like a post you make. The EU police will come knocking.

It's all in the name. They want power over the horizon. It's a take over and Albo signed us away.

Australia just had its worst quarter of jobs growth in almost 13 years, outside Covid.

In September alone, 39,300 fewer Australians were in work. Economists expected 20,000 new jobs. Unemployment hit 4.7%, a five-year high. 732,000 Australians are now out of work, and youth unemployment is 11.1%.

The same day, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said: "Australia's labour market remains resilient and one of our greatest strengths."

The Reserve Bank didn't forecast 4.7% unemployment until the end of 2027. We hit it in September 2026.

Now business leaders are warning Chalmers that higher taxes would be "self-sabotage".

Fewer jobs. Higher taxes. Labor's "greatest strength" is cracking.

Australians are spending $600 million a month on uber eats and doordash, that means in a year, just from those 2 companies blackrock and vanguard take about $1.1 billion out of the Australian ecconomy, after wages to Indian drivers, after all expenses to run the companies.

$1.1 billion, gone forever.

Stop using Uber.
Stop using doordash.

Is this true? If so why the fuck is Dan Andrews ‘consultancy firm’ allowed anywhere near taxpayer money? Fuck this.

$25B to pump water up a hill is a disgrace.

For perspective, $25 billion is theoretically equivalent to around 3 GW of nuclear generating capacity at CSIRO’s mature-program capital cost estimates.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

@wukster2 My point is, Meghan is apparently known for diarising events. She can remember the exact dates of a million perceived slights against her, yet some how made no note of the date that this letter was delivered to her? A letter of such devastating magnitude? Makes no sense. Sorry.

[Pota @PukeMrs]

@wukster2 Actually, I’m highly concerned that ANYONE would sit on the contents of this letter. It makes zero sense. The timeline failure just highlights this.
