Australia, Explained

Used to post about how government works, but it's a dumpster fire cess pit of awfulness.
Get Mad. Stay Mad. Act accordingly to Righteous Justice.

Probably the most accurate representation of the difference between Left and Right Wing politics and political beliefs for this day and age.

Dang…. This is so TRUE!!!

Almost a decent post. Until the end.

Israel’s stated target was a senior Hamas commander and other Hamas operatives allegedly inside the hospital. A security source identified the intended target as the current commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade. The initial statement said the results were still being assessed.

@4mambo The only party that has successfully achieved turning the clock back on women's rights so effectively and swiftly - is the Australian Labor Party 👍

The claim itself is not inherently false. The discussion about Aboriginal people and their primativeness in comparison to other natives was never really had, because people got all emotional about the claim. I think it is another thing that bores people and pushes them towards One Nation ... The debates don't happen, we just get anger and confected outrage and cancel culture...or pointless apologies and that's the end of it. Imagine how many people's lives could be influenced if the conversation was actually had. By not having it, we just think, well she must be right...they don't want to debate her on it, they just want to name call and cancel her.

So either there is truth to the statement that Australian Aborignals were the most primitive race on Earth when we got here...or there's not. And if there's not, we've missed the opportunity to learn in that debate about the interesting ways Aboriginals survived, lived on the land, formed culture etc, or all the reasons why Pauline was wrong (if she was). But we never invited the conversation, and we never do. So the cycle continues...

Imagine if you will,
Politicians encouraging supporting and attending a rally coordinated by adults, to engage the enraged youth of today, with slogans like Fuck Off Albo you balding cunt or similar. What backlash would they face? And why is it the same standard is not applied to THE LEFT.

The Left get away with absolutely everything. I think people are Voting One Nation because they see this. They might not agree with One Nation policies on everything, but they do know that One Nation is held to a higher standard of expectations than The Greens. Than Labor. We know this because we consistently see (just like in courts), severe sentences and judgements passed down on those who do wrong on the Right, but that consequence is never held to an equal standard when The Left do just as bad, if not worse.

Equality. On Merit. Parity on accountability and consequences.
That's what I want.
And I know I'll get it with a One Nation Government.

That's why I'm voting One Nation.

While these kids skip school to protest against democratically elected MPs, their parents are struggling to pay the bills, put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.

And given that 51% of Australian 15-year-olds fail to meet national standards in maths and 40% in science, these kids really need to get back to class.

Millions of Australians are supporting One Nation because they’re sick of being priced out of their own country and want a better future.

@JenTakeTwo I'm so bad at jokes I had to read it twice, and then I laughed 🤣🤣

[Australia, Explained @AusExplained]

Yeah... But a man in a dress who calls himself Sally is a Woman...🙄

Do you see how fundamentally flawed your obfuscation of language has become?

You know you can still support safe, rare and legal Abortion as medical care like I do, whilst admitting that the thing inside the woman is a human life, a thing called a baby, if it wasn't in the womb. You do realize that the vast majority of sensible, rationale, not indoctrinated morons believe in a sensible middle to all of this fighting....

[Australia, Explained @AusExplained]

@SarahMoloney36 No, they expect in the sad and unfortunate position a woman finds herself in, to seek Abortion early, which will be funded via Medicare, just like any other health service.

[Australia, Explained @AusExplained]

Um sorry, a little confused. A political Party DUMPS a candidate after finding out they made pro Hitler remarks, and your response is that the Party is.... PRO Hitler? 🧐

Mmmkay, so if the Labor Party kicks out a Child pedophile, are they the Party that is Pro Pedophiles?

Oh wait, don't answer ...we already know their position on pedophiles. Don't mind me.

Ellen, maybe you haven't had the internal briefing yet...but The Greens are a Radical Left Wing Extremist Group who abandoned their morals and principles decades ago. You've been captured. You're either part of the mutinous infiltration, or you are a prisoner. Do you need help escaping?

@TerpsSonja Are they "winding back" all abortions?

Or wanting to draw a line in the sand regarding unwanted pregnancies being aborted at 40 weeks?

Asking as a child who survived an abortion attempt, and still support my mothers choice to do so as it was within the first 8 weeks. 👍

[Topher Field @TopherField]

Chris Bowen is lying to the world, and committing fraud against the Australian people.

This graph is from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment, and Water's own March 2026 Quarterly Update, I took this screenshot myself.

Look at the top graph, it shows cumulative change in Co2 emissions broken down by sector. Most of the sectors are clustered around the '0%' mark... some above, some below, the average of them all would be close to ZERO change in 21 years.

But there's one outlier... ONE line that dive down from the 0% (equal to 2005 levels) and down past a 50% reduction... PAST a 100% reduction (which is mathematical nonsense but I'll explain in a moment) past a TWO HUNDRED PERCENT REDUCTION, and has hovered between 150 and 200% reduction for the last few years.

If you look at the key, that dotted green line is a thing called 'LULUCF'. What's that?

"Land use, land use change, forestry"

In practical terms ALL of the supposed '25% reduction compared to 2005 levels' that Australia has achieved has come from changes in land use and forestry in this country.

What does that mean in real terms?

1. it means our economy is NOT 'decarbonising' at all, the wider project is a complete fail despite all the money spent, making Bowen and co a bunch of liars.
2. All the jobs we've lost, the manufacturing and heavy industry, the offshoring of real productive capacity... all of the independence and sovereignty we've given up in the name of reducing Co2 emissions... has at BEST brought the INCREASE to a standstill... not reduced the Co2 emissions of Australia's economy.
3. it means that productive land is being 'locked up', land that was cleared and producing food and fibre is being left fallow or being planted with things that have no value to us EXCEPT that they take Co2 out of the atmosphere and the government is willing to pay you to do that.

I will note specifically that the biggest 'loser' besides land use, is electricity generation which is claimed to be 26.6% lower Co2 emissions today than it was in 2005 which sound impressive until you realise that means there's 73.4% still to go and we've already spent insane BILLIONS just getting to where we are, and the bit we've already done? That's the 'cheap' bit... from here each bit of 'progress' gets more expensive.

If you just look at the lovely green bar graph as it drops away you'd think WOW we're going great! if you just believed the nonsense 25% claims then you'd be conned into thinking that Australia is kicking goals.

The truth is we're just locking up productive land, calling it a 'carbon sink' and cooking the paperwork to make ourselves look good.

Australia is a fraud on the world stage, Bowen is a liar, emissions reductions are a failure, and it's time to admit the emperor has no clothes.

Project 800ppm all the way!

Kon makes a dangerous false claim about One Nation, but doesn't include the facts of the matter.

One Nation or No Nation.

[Aussie Battler @stisafety]

@Kon__K Correction, Kon: Guardiani didn't "step down" and it wasn't reluctant. One Nation dumped him the day his post surfaced and said such views have "no place in One Nation". Sometimes the truth hurts those who live in a dream world. @OneNationVic #VicVotes

[Australia, Explained @AusExplained]

@Kon__K So by this example will you condemn publicly, the far left Greens and Socialists parties that openly support political ideologies that are dangerous, divisive and harmful to our entire community?

Instead of the government inserting itself into the wage debate,

Two other meaningful ways government could help workers:

Increase take-home pay through targeted tax relief. Expand low-income tax offsets or introduce a refundable worker tax credit, with gradual withdrawal as earnings rise. This increases disposable income without increasing employers’ wage bills, although it requires public funding.

Reduce the cost of working. Expand affordable childcare places and improve public transport to employment centres. This leaves workers with more money and makes additional shifts more worthwhile; childcare costs and benefit withdrawal can substantially weaken financial incentives to work.

One Nation has policies that support both of this options 👍
See: One Nation -
Family Tax Policy.
Cost of Living Measures.
Transport and Infrastructure.

Let me know your thoughts once you've read them 👍

So basically Jess,

Because we hate Labor so much, we should give you, the Liberal Party, who has ignored its voter base for going on ten years now, our number 1 vote?
No way.
Vote 1 One Nation.
Core 2 for the Libs if you want. It still guarantees Labor is gone, and forces Liberal to come to the table with One Nation.
You deserve this Jess. You don't deserve to lead in your own right. One Nation needs to be there to put your party on the straight and narrow, because you have strayed far to left.

Minimum wage increases can have downsides, particularly when increases outpace businesses’ ability to absorb them:

Higher prices: Businesses may pass increased wage costs on to customers, eroding some of the purchasing-power gain.

Fewer hours: Employers may reduce shifts, leaving some workers earning no more overall.

Less hiring: Businesses may delay recruitment or offer fewer entry-level opportunities.
More automation: Higher staffing costs can make replacing roles with technology more attractive.

Pressure on small businesses: Firms with thin margins have less capacity to absorb higher costs.

Seperate to that, wage is typically associated to job type. Creating a mandatory minimum wage, suggests that regardless of the work being done, the wage is set. I don't think that is fair. Additionally, minimum wage removes opportunity for kids to get jobs when they are young, inexperienced and require supervison.

[Australia, Explained @AusExplained]

Isn't it great that this has opened up the conversation (finally!) to what Labor and Liberal have even doing for DECADES, in creating feeder votes to their own party.

It's so easy, why wouldn't you??

There is a guaranteed 3 to 4% bump in some electorates if your feeder party pulls number 1 on the ballot, because of lazy idiot voters who walk in and vote 1, 2,3,4 in order.

It's basically putting your own name down multiple times to be pulled out of the hat, and increases your chances of getting a top 3 spot, because if Feeder gets 1, a left aligned gets two, and Labor gets three, will, you've significantly bumped your chances.

The Darebin City Council in Melbourne's north has over $20m in overdue rates because locals are drowning under immense cost-of-living pressures.

The council answered by spending $30,000 to paint a rainbow on the pavement and then throw themselves a self-congratulatory party.
