In the past 12 years there is only one Labor MP that acted with INTEGRITY that is JANE GARRETT who resigned from cabinet after refusing to back the premier in a dispute between the CFA and the firefighters’ union.
With an anti corruption authority under funded and lacking the power to lay charges the only way Victoria can be cleaned up is to boot out the Victorian Labor government.
Jess Wilson has promised a government she leads will properly fund IBAC and give the anti corruption authority the powers it needs to do the job.
The big question is whether legislation introduced by a Jess Wilson government is legally able to be retrospective.
Ok, here’s my corporate greed call-out of the day.
I was dispatched today for a no-cool call. The indoor unit was running, but the outdoor unit wasn’t.
The system was a 10-year-old Bryant Evolution high-end variable-capacity inverter system. After running the factory diagnostics, I found Code 77, indicating the inverter board was detecting excessive compressor startup current.
Following the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedure, I disconnected the compressor leads to determine whether the fault was in the compressor or the inverter board. The results confirmed the inverter board had failed. The system is only 8 months out of warranty.
At that point, I started preparing myself to tell the customer the repair would probably be around $1,500–$1,900. I figured the board would cost somewhere in the $800–$1,000 range. After all, it’s just a printed circuit board.
Before giving the estimate, I called Carrier Enterprise for pricing.
$8,900.
Not for the entire outdoor unit.
Not for a complete system.
Just the inverter board.
That’s not a typo. $8,900.
In my opinion, this is the definition of engineered obsolescence. There is no reasonable justification for a replacement circuit board on a 10-year-old residential HVAC system to cost nearly nine thousand dollars. At that price, you’re essentially forcing the homeowner to replace the entire system instead of repairing it.
This is exactly why I’ll never sell Carrier equipment. They make decent equipment, but pricing replacement parts like this turns a repairable system into a disposable one. Homeowners deserve better than that.
Carrier Carrier Enterprise or anyone that’s sells this shit, care to elaborate why this board is so expensive?

🚨#BREAKING: Police in Winona Minnesota are stunned after EVERY SINGLE ONE of their Flock cameras were suddenly removed in a single night.
According to the police department, all 8 of the town's cameras were cut down and hauled away.
Police are asking for the public's help to identify the individual, but the public has been leaving comments like:
"The Flock cameras tore themselves down"
"Whoever did it, was fishing with me"
"Whoever it was, was at Bible study with me"

How could naturally skeptical journalists like @mrjamesob & @krishgm be taken in by Jason Arday?
They were mesmerised by the tale of a black boy who had overcome adversity
It’s the virtue-signalling equivalent of train spotters who get excited seeing the Flying Scotsman
For journalists like James O’Brien & Krishnan Guru-Murthy -- and woke academics in Cambridge and up and down the country -- Arday was their Flying Scotsman.
Arday ticked every box:
race ✔️
poverty ✔️
neurodivergent ✔️
illiterate ✔️
unorthodox childhood ✔️
He was the virtue signaller’s poster boy. The identity politics bingo card in human form.
To see seasoned journalists, trained to detect the faintest whiff of BS, uncritically accept the bold boasts of their interviewee reveals the devastating, mind-addling effect of ideological capture - dare I say, brainwashing.
Of course, people like James O’Brien have form here.
Remember, O’Brien was a great champion of the convicted paedophile Carl Beech, the vile fantasist who claimed various upstanding public figures were involved in unspeakable crimes.
O’Brien’s personal biases clearly cloud his judgement.
O'Brien's hubris prevents him from ever acknowledging his errors. And so, even though others who have previously defended Arday have quietly removed their support (most recently the black president of Wolfson College) O'Brien remains chained to the foundering HMS Jason.
What these people - and the rest of the woke establishment - don't realise, is that they are being unforgivably racist.
Any white professor facing similar accusations to Arday would have been pilloried and investigated long ago. Cambridge normally has a zero tolerance attitude towards plagiarism - yet it refuses to re-examine this professor's credentials.
Arday’s race is the reason the progressive left have become his Praetorian Guard.
They are holding Arday to a lower standard because he is black. Surely that is, by definition, racist.
Me on @GBNews:
The Maribyrnong Mayor has spoken of his fear after a man threatened him with a knife in the middle of a Footscray mall.
It's the latest attack in a surge of violence in the Western Suburbs where local leaders are demanding more police on the beat. @izzy_quinlan#9News
“There are so many times I’ll be doing something like the washing & I’ll just pause & go, ‘oh my god, I’m in court for saying men can’t be women & I lost…’ How is this real life?”
Here is my question to Liberal voters who want Angus Taylor over One Nation.
If elected back into power - what are the tangible changes he will make to your life and the nation beyond policy slogans?
When you move into detail, what is being promised?
Will he ... deport 100,000 visa overstayers?
Will he ... deport and jail Islamic radicals and push back against international treaties that say we can't?
He says he'll ditch 'net zero' - but will he dismantle the Climate Change Authority and the 20+ other bureaucratic departments that eat our tax dollars?
Will he buy out or cancel the contracts of renewable projects scheduled to destroy our forests and beaches?
Will he meaningfully cut payroll and income taxes?
Will he put an end to foreigners accessing the 5% deposit - and other such schemes?
Will he gut the NDIS of fraud and waste?
Will he stop the mass importation of foreign doctors, nurses, builders, and others whose qualifications are suspect - at best?
Will he rebuild and replace the damaged colonial statues and make it a severe criminal offence to deface cultural heritage?
Will he include 'the colonies must fall' and other hateful rhetoric against Australians in the hate speech laws (if he refuses to remove such laws)?
Etc.
I ask because the Liberals were in power for a very long time and did none of these things. Their promises are always just that - promises.
I don’t know about you,
But, I’ve lost complete faith in this current government and will be voting one nation
I hope more Labor supporters see how Labor has let down our country and punish them at the next election.
Paramedics were seen taking Perez Hilton from his home after he allegedly harmed himself during a livestream, according to NBC Miami.
His representatives say they have been unable to reach him and are focused on his health and his family's well-being. They declined to comment further until more information is confirmed and asked the public to respect his privacy.
Wishing him a full recovery.
I am not going to be posting the Perez Hilton video, where he was clearly committing self-harm on a live stream.
It’s incredibly gruesome.
But let this serve as a reminder that Hollywood “stars” are some of the most unhappy, mentally unwell people on earth.
I pray he finds God and heals.
📢HANSON PUTS JUDGES ON NOTICE?
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is campaigning for new laws to sack "bleeding heart judges" and magistrates who repeatedly release serious repeat offenders.
Under the proposal:
⚖️Review panels would judge sentencing.
⚖️Magistrates must justify granting bail.
If a judge keeps letting dangerous repeat offenders back onto our streets, should the public have the power to sack them? 💬👇
