It's not your money @AlboMP.
It belongs to Australian's saving for their retirement.
And it should be managed with that sole purpose in mind.
Not as a slush fund for your political objectives.
Update: Cricket Australia has now reversed its decision not to play the national anthem on Australia Day.
The anthem will be played before the Big Bash League final on 26 January.
Good work, everyone.
We stopped the world’s economy for a virus 99.9% of people survive and we printed $7 trillion in unbacked currency while we did it.
This is how it is now. That toothpaste doesn’t go back in the tube. Sorry. Some of us tried to stop it.
Gina just donated another plane to the Royal Flying Doctors.
This is the second plane Gina has bought for the RFDS. Gina has donated millions and millions to the Royal Flying Doctor. A service that helps many in the bush. An essential service. Thank you Gina, for helping Australia and supporting One Nation.
The ABC’s shock decision to employ as a podcast host Grace Tame, who described corroborated reports of Hamas’ sexual violence against Israeli women as ‘propaganda’ which had been ‘debunked’ and led a pro-Palestine rally chanting ‘globalise the intifada’, is untenable.
How can Australians be expected to trust the ABC when it hires a high-profile activist who spread false information about the barbaric October 7 terrorist attacks and engaged in conduct which promotes hostility towards Jewish people?

Good morning Aussies.
Labor is a filthy parasite sucking the life out of Australia both culturally and economically.
It'll be a big job to remove them and a lot of work to repair the damage they have inflicted.
But together we will prevail.
ABC hires Grace Tame
Statement from AJA CEO Robert Gregory
"At first, I thought the ABC announcement was a joke. I simply could not believe that Australia's public broadcaster could be so tone-deaf.
Not long after the Bondi attack, Grace Tame publicly called to 'globalise the Intifada'. The Intifada was a period of bloody terrorist attacks against Jewish civilians in Israel.
Just months ago, Tame dismissed reports of sexual violence committed against Israeli women on October 7 as 'propaganda', and falsely claimed they had been 'debunked', despite extensive evidence and investigations documenting those crimes.
Tame was condemned across the political spectrum and has publicly complained about difficulties obtaining speaking engagements following her comments but it appears that nothing is too outrageous for the ABC.
The question Australians should be asking is simple: with so many talented and respected people available, why did the ABC choose Grace Tame?
This decision demonstrates a profound lack of judgment and a disregard for the concerns of many Australians, particularly within the Jewish community. It reinforces the growing perception that ABC management is increasingly out of touch with the communities it is supposed to serve. ABC would have been aware of the distress this decision would cause to many Australians, and it therefore seems designed to generate controversy.
The incident further underscores the need for the ABC to be called before the Royal Commission into antisemitism, as the Coalition has advocated.
More broadly, it again raises the question of why Australian taxpayers are compelled to fund a national broadcaster whose decisions and content many Australians find deeply objectionable."
STOP! 👮🚫 DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO 😡
@PatsKarvelas was right!
We cannot be sharing videos like these and legitimising One Nation any more than it already massively is.
This is immoral.
This is unjust.
This is UNMULTICULTURAL.
Stop it.
Stop watching this.
Stop sharing this.
Do you want One Nation to get elected in 2028?!?!
If you share this video then that nightmare might just come true!
Don't become one of Pauline's Dark Forces.
No. Just, no.

I want to apologise to people who have tried to get in touch with my office and haven’t received a response.
We are being inundated with thousands of calls, emails and messages every week and it’s not possible to respond to all of them.
The Albanese government cut the staff allocation to One Nation after the last election.
I have been going to both the Prime Minister and Special Minister of State Don Farrell since the staff cuts. I have been begging and pleading with them to give us more staff to deal with the heavy workload.
In fact, earlier this year a staff member wrote to the Prime Minister directly, explaining the extreme stress they are under.
Labor hasn’t even responded and couldn’t care less.
My staff have continued out of loyalty, and they want to help the Australian people but their health has now become a serious issue.
As the leader of One Nation, I have 5 Electorate officers and just 2 Parliamentary Advisers.
The Leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters, has 5 electorate officers and 15 Advisers.
The Prime Minister has 59 personal Advisers. Adding his other Ministers, the Government employs a total of 504 personal Advisers.
This is in addition to the 1,200+ employees in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet alone and 185,000 employed by the Government as bureaucrats in the public service.
This is the Prime Minister using his powers to disadvantage his political opponents who don’t agree with his agenda.
My office deals with people in very difficult situations, complicated family law, immigration, NDIS, veterans and welfare plus many other matters.
The Australian people’s personal struggles are worse than ever – my staff have had to talk people down from the edge of taking their own lives.
Many people come to us because they get absolutely no assistance from the government and many other political offices.
It’s beyond a joke the lack of help that Labor is providing considering I would have one of the busiest political offices in the country.
I didn’t want to air this out in public, but this Albanese government has given me no choice
It’s not that we don’t want to do the work for the Australian people, it’s that we physically can’t.
My staff want to help this country and the people in it, but they’re so stressed they are close to collapsing.
I am the leader of a political party that is polling more than major political parties.
The government has failed to staff One Nation anywhere close to a functional level.
This is pure, bloody-minded politics by the Labor party.
I’ve tried everything I can to help people and will continue to do so, but my hands are tied.
The Labor party like to go on about the battlers. Well I’ve got some in my office trying to do a decent job for many Australians, but they don’t care about them.
Dave: “Hello, caller, you are on the air.”
Caller: “I don’t think billionaires create value.”
Dave: “Okay. What do you mean by that?”
Caller: “Nobody can earn a billion dollars ethically.”
Dave: “Alright. What do you do for a living?”
Caller: “Well, before this, I was a bartender.”
Dave: “Nothing wrong with bartending. Honest work.”
Caller: “Right.”
Dave: “And now?”
Caller: “I work in government.”
Dave: “Okay. So let me get this straight. You're saying Elon Musk, who helped build PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, has made innovations like online payments, electric cars, rockets, and satellite internet possible, didn't earn his way to being a billionaire?"
Caller: “None of that justifies being a billionaire.”
Dave: “Well, sure sounds like value got created somewhere along the line.”
Caller: “I disagree.”
Dave: “What exactly did you build?”
Caller: “I advocate for economic justice.”
Dave: “No ma’am, I mean actual products.”
Caller: “…”
Dave: “You’re telling me the guy catching rockets mid-air created less value than a person who used to serve mojitos and now votes on spending his tax dollars?”
Caller: “That’s unfair.”
Dave: “What’s unfair is pretending markets are imaginary while cashing a government paycheck funded by the businesses you claim don’t create value.”
Caller: “I’m actually a congresswoman.”
Dave: “Oh Lord. Of course!"
Grok does a decent job of tracking Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Lies… Did it miss any?
Here we go:
Broken promises, backflips and lies by Anthony Albanese since 2022:
• Promised household power bills would be $275 cheaper a year by 2025. Prices rose instead.
• Promised second stage power price cuts after 2025. Pulled the plug on rebates at end of 2025 with no further cuts delivered.
• Promised to keep Coalition’s stage three tax cuts exactly as planned with no changes. Changed and restructured them.
• Promised no changes to superannuation. Introduced new tax on balances over $3 million.
• Promised real wages would grow and rise above pre-election levels. Failed to deliver.
• Promised 450 gigalitres of environmental water under Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Delivered only 27.5 gigalitres.
• Promised 50 urgent care clinics by his own deadline. Missed the deadline.
• Promised new Pacific Engagement Visa by his own deadline. Missed the deadline.

• Removed the RMIT ABC election promise tracker amid scrutiny over broken pledges.
• Promised to buy back Darwin Port from Chinese ownership before 2025 election. Still in Chinese hands, promise not delivered.
