As the Victorian Royal commission into construction corruption is about to kick off, those in charge of it must consider this.

When the Dan Andrews Labor Government gained power from the Coalition in 2014, the first thing they did was tear up a contract signed by previous Govt and give a vast sum of Vic taxpayers money to European companies, to NOT build East/West road link.
Dan Andrews ‘this project is a dog, it doesn’t stack up’.
He blamed poor value for money, among other things.

The, most likely, real reason was that in the contract, the CFMEU, that controls the Labor Party, were heavily restricted from the project, because The Napthine led Victorian Coalition Govt knew the CFMEU would catastrophically blow out costs.

From 2014 till now, the Victorian Labor Govt have embarked on a gigantic amount of construction and placed the CFMEU in control of all major projects, and almost all smaller ones. Roads, train tunnels, stations, hospitals and so on, and almost every single project has blown out by millions upon billions upon more billions.

Overseas project managers are completely shocked at how much Victorian Govt Builds cost.

This has been a major factor in the extraordinary rise in taxes placed upon honest Victorians. Also a state debt vastly bigger than every other state, leading to a crippling recurring interest bill, while essential services in Victoria are being chronically underfunded.

This has led to many deaths of honest Victorians in ways like, accidents because of severely neglected roads, heart attack deaths because no ambulance response in time, violent crimes because not enough police, and suicides because the financial stress of severe over taxation has pushed honest people over the edge.

Every member of The Victorian Government since 2014 is complicit. Either likely directly corrupt themselves, too cowardly to speak up, or just unaware, because they were too lazy and well paid to care.

The blame is also shared by all major companies involved in Victorian Govt funded building projects since 2014, and that includes the banks, who have provided financing. They all reap billions in profit. They all must know about the theft and must have always known. Why have they done nothing?

Most likely because the motto is ‘Everyone eats on the Big Build’. The Dan Andrews/Allan/Carroll Labor Government sets up the contracts that way. There is no incentive for the builders to stop spending

Everyone wins, except the honest Victorian taxpayer. They die on horribly neglected country roads.

The theft continues in 2026 and will continue until courageous people take a stand.

Those people will deserve a statue.

It sure won’t be Albanese. He is best friends with Dan Andrews, is controlled by the same Labor left faction, and recently rushed through federal laws to ensure Federally funded Building sites follow the Victorian model.

It beggars belief.

This royal commission has a chance to stop it, if people with courage are willing to speak up, for once. Future generations will thank you long after you’re gone.

BREAKING: Liberal leader, Angus Taylor has finally come to life and has absolutely savaged Anthony Albanese as he came out swinging at today’s Liberals executive meeting.

He raged that the Albanese government “can’t admit when it’s wrong.”

Won’t admit the tax backflip smashed aspiration.

Won’t admit net migration is still a flood they promised to cut.

Won’t admit they broke their word on housing, energy, and crime.

Won’t admit they let the wrong people in and now the streets are paying for it.

Took him months of dancing around One Nation and internal squabbles to realise the real enemy isn’t Pauline.

It’s the bloke in The Lodge who never owns a stuff up and is single handedly destroying this country.

About bloody time, Angus!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, it gets better. The lady who said white Australians have no culture is the daughter of a Sudanese war criminal who personally executed foreign journalists and enslaved hundreds of children as child soldiers. ABC chose her to speak for the pro-migration side in a national migration debate. OMFG!!!!

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

I’m fucking crying bro her dad was a Sudanese warlord who abducted hundreds of child soldiers. Dozens of them died of starvation according to this report by Human Rights Watch

She was posting pics of her Dad on Instagram this week

You could not even make this up

Reality has outpaced satire, we are in a simulation.

@nswicac are you going to look into this?

Politics… hey.
No wonder Australians are so disillusioned with those we elect to represent us.

Buy tommorow's The Australian. And forward it to all your mates. There will hopefully be a compelling article by Matt Cranstone that will finish off the awful economically illiterate vandal Jim Chalmers once and for all. Please Retweet.

ONE LIE TOO MANY

Yesterday, Albanese told theParliament:
“I don’t go to the club.”

But there’s a video of him at Marrickville Golf Club saying:
“I’ve been coming here for decades and using this club.”

This is not a case of “I’ve changed my position” or “it wasn’t our modelling" or "the dog ate my homework".

It’s an open-and-shut case.

Albanese has lied and misled the Parliament.

The standards of ministerial accountability in a Westminster parliament are clear - Lying to the Parliament regarding personal conduct requires Albanese to resign.

[News24 Australia @News24Aust]

#EXCLUSIVE Prime Minister Anthony Albanese still owns a multi-million dollar property on the same street as the Marrickville Golf Club that was given $6 million in taxpayer funds.

[Dave Hughes @DHughesy]

He has to go.

[Osher Feldman @OsherFeldman]

Albo told Parliament he has nothing to do with the club.

The 2019 footage and his own tweets say otherwise.

$6 million later.

[Ryan Dally @Ryandally08]

Anthony Albanese just can’t say the words: “I stuffed up”

Instead he turns an undeclared honorary membership, plus a $6.5 million invite only grant to the golf club in his own electorate into another week long sewer fight, then blames the people who noticed.

He told the ABC to “do better”

That’s not feedback. That’s a message.

After weeks of blaming “hostile media” and Coalition conspiracies for every Labor stuff up, the Prime Minister now lectures the national broadcaster he just topped up with extra taxpayer cash.

“Do better” and then “Stand up for the national interest.”

Which translates to - stop asking questions that make me look sloppy.

He didn’t declare the honorary membership.

Bridget McKenzie had to resign over an honorary gun club membership she didn’t even know about, for a $36,000 grant.

Barry O’Farrell had to resign over a $3,000 bottle of Penfolds Grange.

Albanese’s golf club got $6 million. Different rules for different people, it appears.

He says he didn’t know. He says he doesn’t play golf. He says he walks the dog Toto on the public path.

He makes “no apologies”

What’s typical with Albanese, it’s never the mistake. It’s always the person pointing it out.

Same pattern as the Japan podcast, the Palau sniping, the budget bungles Chalmers keeps pinning on everyone else.

First reaction is deny, obfuscate, then attack the messenger.

And the timing is rich.

Labor’s $67.6 million “Journalism Assistance Fund” is still sloshing around commercial newsrooms while the ABC gets extra operational money and five year funding certainty.

Then the PM sits on ABC breakfast and tells them to “do better” when they report something inconvenient.

That’s not the national interest.

That’s a reminder of who signs the cheques.

Parliament will ask more questions.

Independents want an inquiry. The invite only $560 million program already looks like sports rorts 2.0

73% to Labor seats.

Albanese could have said: “I should have declared it, that’s on me”

He chose sewage, dog walks, and a warning shot at the ABC instead.

The precedent has been set by O’Farrell and McKenzie.

Anthony Albanese must resign.

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

Australia’s Labor government is sinking as a result of a massive public backlash on mass migration.

Rather than listen to the people, Labor has decided that the problem is “social media algorithms.”

Looks like a direct attack on X @elonmusk

[Dave Hughes @DHughesy]

Just spoke to a woman who has five hundred full time employees in her NDIS funded private business. Started from scratch. She told me many logical ways to improve the system, which currently is insanely easy for dishonest providers to steal from, which is costing the public tens of billions each year. She’s emailed MP’s her thoughts. None have replied.

She said it’s becoming next to impossible for HONEST NDIS funded private companies to employ people full time.
She might have to dissolve her company before the end of the year.

And b/c our Federal Govt is so incompetent, and spend so much time and money appeasing vested interests, rather than on what actually affects us all, it means even more public money will be stolen by unscrupulous providers.

Of course not all providers are dishonest, many do a wonderful job, but the opportunity to rort is way too big.

And to be fair to the thieving providers, they are just following the example of many of our elected leaders, but ultimately, all honest Australians, and especially disabled Australians, pay the cost.

[Dave Hughes @DHughesy]

Dan Andrews spent honest taxpayer money to create bot farms to troll critics of him. I have been on the end of many of those paid pile ons. He now sits beside Albo and eyes off the nation’s superannuation to also use for his gain. Do not let this happen Australia.

Can anyone argue against my idea that we need all govt expenditure at all levels, council, state, federal, on a public register, accessible to all? ASIO and sensitive defence stuff not itemised but the rest, completely itemised. The technology is available. Bring it all into the light. And make it real time. As it’s spent it goes on the register. We see what every dollar is used on. Will cut corruption immediately by ninety percent. Also we will see who is getting over paid. They hide it because they know it’s wrong. Let everyone walk in the light.
