Australians are getting absolutely bent over at the bowser.
You go to work.
You bust your ass.
You pay income tax on your wages.
Then with what is left, you go to put fuel in your car and get taxed all over again.
How is that normal?
You already paid tax to earn the money.
Then they hit you with fuel excise of around 50 cents per litre.
Then they hit you again with GST on the final pump price.
So at $2 a litre, roughly 68.2 cents of every litre is tax.
That means on a 60 litre fill, about $40.92 is tax.
#Not fuel.
#Tax.
#Let that sink in.
You are taxed when you earn it.
Taxed when you spend it.
Taxed when you try to live.
And they wonder why people feel like they are drowning.
This is exactly why so many hardworking Aussies feel like they can never get in front.
Because every time you move, every time you earn, every time you spend, there is another hand in your pocket.
This country does not have a wage problem only.
It has a government taking too much of your money problem.
Hard earned.
Heavily taxed.
Pumped at every angle.
Most people have no idea how much they are really paying because it is buried in plain sight.
#The scary part is this is just fuel.
This does not even start the conversation about rego, insurance, tolls, power bills, council rates, stamp duty and the hundred other ways they strip everyday Australians.
If this pisses you off, good.
It should.
#Share this and wake a few people up.
Tony Burke isn't cutting migration. He is doubling down on bringing in another million people over the next four years. Labor is lying again.
And here's the worst part. You can’t even trust them to stop at a million. This weak government has never once hit a migration target it set. Not once, in four years.
Here are the facts.
October 2022: Labor promised 235,000. 538,000 flooded in.
May 2023: Labor promised 315,000. 429,000 flooded in.
May 2024: Labor promised 260,000. 306,000 flooded in.
December 2025: Labor promised 260,000. By May, they'd moved their own goalposts to 295,000, before the year was even finished.
You just cannot trust Labor.
Four budgets.
Four promises.
Four blowouts.
And the highest immigration levels in Australia’s recorded history.
And it’s not a small miss either.
Labor’s blowout since taking government is almost the size of Tasmania.
So when Burke finally gives the speech his own cabinet blocked, here's what he's really announcing: another million people.
This from a government that has never hit its own numbers. And in the worst housing and rental market we’ve seen.
They already brought in 1.5 million in four years.
That's why your rent exploded, your pay went backwards, and your kids can't buy a home. It’s why hospitals are turning away sick people.
Labor's immigration policy has overwhelmed Australia and sent us backwards.
Enough is enough.
This lying Labor government has got to go.
Latest Newspoll. Not much change from last week. Same story. The mood for change across the country remains strong. Only One Nation can be trusted to deliver that change.
Under One Nation, our schools will promote patriotism and encourage young Aussies to love their country, its history and its heritage.
We will not apologise for our history. We are one of the greatest countries on earth, and we will be proud of this.
As it stands, there are too many examples of our history being denigrated by our woke educational establishment. Both the Welcome to Country and self-loathing will be expunged from our schools.
One Nation will provide change you can trust.
After more than 20 years as a Liberal Party member and office-holder, Colleen Harkin reached the point where she simply couldn’t do it anymore.
She watched principles disappear. Promises go unfulfilled. And Victoria continue down the same path. So she made a decision: she joined One Nation.
Now, Colleen is running for One Nation because she wants to put her words into action and fight for the Victoria she believes in.
Colleen says there is a mood for change across Victoria, and One Nation is ready to deliver it.
After years of watching from the sidelines, she’s decided it’s time to put her money where her mouth is.
Victoria needs integrity. Victoria needs courage. Victoria needs change.
The fight for Victoria starts now. 🇦🇺
A bombshell inquiry has uncovered evidence of industrial scale corruption on Melbourne's Big Build projects. CFMEU is accused of funnelling more than $15 billion from Victorian taxpayers into the pockets of criminals.
One Nation takes the lead in Victoria
According to the latest RedBridge Group/Accent Research poll, One Nation is leading the Victorian primary vote at 27%, ahead of Labor and the Coalition on 26% each.

In industry & commerce: affordable and reliable energy to reduce the cost of living and the cost of doing business. Getting government out of the way, to support those businesses that form the backbone of our economy, driving productivity, investment, and innovation.
In education: removing activist agenda in the curriculum and raising academic standards. Addressing the impossible demands on teachers and introducing a voucher system giving parent’s school choice. Ensure young Australians gain the knowledge, skills, and character to become independent, capable, and productive members of society, with the gratitude, resilience and wellbeing needed to succeed.
In community: restoring law and order, and public services are properly managed and focused on delivering results and standards community expects.

Warren Pickering is the Victorian State President of One Nation and the party’s candidate for Pakenham at the 2026 Victorian state election.
Born in Gippsland and based in Warragul with his adult daughter, Warren has strong ties to regional Victoria. He grew up and worked on Victorian farmland before moving into construction, where he worked as a bricklayer across commercial and residential projects.
Warren later served in the Australian Army as a combat engineer for a decade. During his service, he deployed to combat zones in the Middle East as a trainer and instructor. He also took part in domestic humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations, as well as foreign engagement exercises around the world.
As a single father to his then-teenage daughter, Warren transferred to the Army Reserve and worked in Queensland’s coal mining industry before returning home to Victoria.
Warren previously stood as a One Nation Senate candidate and worked as a Victorian state political adviser. He now leads the party’s Victorian operations, including candidate recruitment, policy development and branch building across the state.
Warren describes his approach as practical, solutions-focused and grounded in lived experience. He believes elected representatives should understand the pressures facing regional communities, small businesses, working families and the government departments they oversee.
His stated priorities include law and order, secure borders, reliable energy, lower taxes, stronger local communities, government accountability and reducing wasteful bureaucracy.
Warren holds diplomas in Leadership and Management, Project Management, and Workplace Health and Safety. His experience across farming, construction, military service, mining and politics gives him a broad understanding of the issues facing Victorians.

Mass migration is a huge reason why you can't afford your mortgage, rent, groceries and are getting stuck in traffic for longer.
There's 4.8 million visa holders in the country right now, made up of 3 million 'temporary' visa holders, and 1.8 million 'permanents.
🇦🇺 Australia is divided on who should lead the country forward.
Who has your support right now?
❤️ LOVE = Pauline Hanson
🤗 CARE = Anthony Albanese

One Nation believes food self-reliance is national security.
We should support Australian farmers, protect productive farmland, strengthen regional processing and ensure Australia can always feed its own people first.
Australians are paying more for electricity while reliable coal is forced out. One Nation will scrap Net Zero, leave Paris, back coal, gas and nuclear. Affordable, reliable energy will end the cost of living crisis, restore Australia’s prosperity and build a better future.
