Justin crossed a line.

What happened between my ex-wife and me is our business. We may no longer be together, but she is the mother of my daughter.

To everyone insulting her or speaking about things they know nothing about: show some respect.

You don’t have to respect our relationship. But respecting someone’s mother should be one of the most basic codes in life.

Be better.

New NDIS investigation just dropped on my YouTube channel: Pete Z

Witch Doctor Voodoo, Deaths in Custody, Phantom Prison Payments and a Gigantic Golden Leopard.

This is crazier than you can imagine. Go watch now @DrewPavlou 🙏

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

BREAKING: Our new NDIS fraud video investigation is out @PeteZogoulas.

I have written a summary of our findings.

We found a Gold Coast witch doctor “spirit worker” accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the NDIS while presiding over the tragic death of a vulnerable participant in suspicious circumstances. Marcia Cristina Carvalho De Menezes’s NDIS business continues to operate despite ongoing investigations surrounding this tragic death.

We also uncovered evidence of a massive prisoner harvesting fraud whereby a West Sydney businessman named Jamal Sabsabi fraudulently charged the government for hundreds of thousands of dollars in phantom disability services to prisoners locked up in jail cells. He operated dozens of NDIS and care related shell companies through which he paid himself at least $1 million a year for the privilege of running these scams.

Police have not charged this West Sydney businessman despite his business being shut down for fraud.

Shockingly, we found Jamal Sabsabi caught up in a new business in West Sydney. When we barged in to confront him, we found a new West Sydney businessman sitting in his place with a gigantic golden leopard statue on his desk worth thousands of dollars. Josef Yousif at first denied that Jamal worked at the new office, before admitting he had “hired” him for his great “experience.”

Upon investigating Josef, we discovered he operated under at least six different legal names with a combined criminal rap sheet that features over 50 court appearances.

This is the story of NDIS fraud on a truly mind boggling scale.

After two months of investigating the NDIS, @DrewPavlou and I finally got the all clear from the lawyers.

The exposé drops tomorrow.

GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA

This is a perfect example why the Australia institute needs to be laughed out of existence.

The claim: number of people has increased by 16% but number of homes has increased by 19% therefore there’s plenty of homes.

The reality:
Between 2011 and 2021
- 1.9 million extra homes
- 3.3 million extra people

You can’t compare percentages of entirely different datasets!

This guy is an economist?

@AshPolitik Comparing Australia’s new 30% CGT floor to other countries’ top marginal ceilings really shows your intellect, @ashpolitik.
Our top rate hits 47% on indexed gains — higher than most developed nations. Try apples-to-apples next time.

[Luke Hansen @_lukehansen]

@Geoff1982 Mate, you obviously didn’t understand what I said at all.
I explicitly said there are dozens of other factors, and Australia’s massive mining/resources sector (14% of GDP vs <1% in NZ) is a huge structural boost NZ simply doesn’t have. That’s why we’re richer despite the higher CGT, not because of it.
Cherry-picking to pretend CGT doesn’t matter is exactly the low-intellect take I was calling out.

🇦🇪 Dubai is full of traffic and crowds again. Already missing the Iranian fireworks — they helped clear the city of the easily impressed.

The UAE’s air defenses proved excellent under fire. For 0% tax, we get better protection than Europeans paying 50%.

[Geoff Wilson @GeoffWilsonWAM]

You bleed. You break. You pay for everything.
@AlboMP and @JEChalmers take 47% and lifts zero f…… fingers.
Legalised extortion dressed as tax or ‘partnership’.

@AlpacaAurelius

[Luke Hansen @_lukehansen]

@geoffwilsonwam Spot on, Geoff. This budget is a direct attack on aspiration, investment and retirement planning. We desperately need leaders like yourself with resources and influence to help fund and build a real movement to fight back against this government. Australians deserve better than punitive taxes that kill incentive. Count me in.

[Luke Hansen @_lukehansen]

@AshPolitik I bet you also let your missus peg you from behind.

[Luke Hansen @_lukehansen]

@markbouris @markbouris, Australia desperately needs exactly this kind of clear-eyed, ambitious leadership.
Lower taxes, reward risk-takers, build globally competitive businesses, and stop the endless spending.
Please run for PM. Lead us. A huge number of Australians would back you. 🇦🇺

[Luke Hansen @_lukehansen]

Tax policy is fundamental for startups.
Scrapping the 50% CGT discount (from July 2027) + new 30% min tax slashes after-tax upside for founders & VCs who take all the risk.
Capital is mobile — it flows to better risk/reward places like the US, Singapore, UK. Exit taxes decide if the venture math works after years of grind.
Dismissing this ignores incentives. Bad policy = fewer businesses, jobs & innovation here.

@TheKouk @Haydenfreedom All funded by government grants?

[Luke Hansen @_lukehansen]

You are a fraud, Albo. You lied straight to voters’ faces in the last election when you repeatedly ruled out any changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax — ‘Yes. How hard is it? For the 50th time.’ Your real colours have been revealed with this budget backflip. Broken promises again. Australians won’t forget.
