He used taxpayer funds in an attempt to ruin Helen Haines political career only a few weeks ago and on Monday night he called her ‘A beacon of light’ with ‘the highest integrity’. We all have been let down so badly. My god, no wonder Australia is tanking so hard.

[Matthew Camenzuli @Matt_Camenzuli]

The real question is why did Albanese's office shop a baseless 'dirt sheet' on Helen Haines to journalists?

It wouldn't be because she was very interested in the NACC, and Albanese's dalliances with the Marrickville golf club?

Surely not.

❌AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE❌

Where is the Australian flag Anthony?

How can you claim to represent the Australian people and draw a $600K+++ salary and not even have enough pride to stand in front of our national flag?

Anyone else absolutely sick and tired of these non-contributors who love to exploit the Australian taxpayer to feather their own nests but won’t even show us the respect of standing in front of our flag while riffling our pockets?

No respect for those who have laid down their lives for this flag and the values, freedoms and rights it represents

The worst Prime Minister in Australian history

THE ALBANESE LIE LIST. PART ELEVEN: "NO ONE WILL BE REMOVED WITHOUT SOMEWHERE TO GO."

In April 2022 Labor promised to "defend and fix the NDIS", with a review that would "guarantee plans will not be arbitrarily cut".

The May 2026 Budget took $37.8 billion out of the scheme over four years. Participants are to fall from about 760,000 to 600,000 by 2030.

Albanese's reassurance: "No one will be removed without somewhere for them to go."

In July 2026 an internal Health Department brief, released under FOI, put the number moved off the scheme at 241,000 by June 2031. Almost 145,000 of them have autism or developmental delay as their main disability. Most are children.

So where do they go?

A $4 billion program called Thriving Kids, run with the states. On 1 October 2026 Queensland still hadn't signed the funding deal. Its own disability minister called it "a bad deal for children with a disability". The other states only start designing their services in January 2027, with services in place by 2028.

That's the "somewhere to go". For most families it doesn't exist yet.

In fairness, the scheme was heading toward $70 billion a year, and children won't be moved off until 2028.

But the government's own paper says 241,000 off, most of them kids. Parents are being asked to trust a promise from the same government that promised plans wouldn't be cut.

But there's more…

Cold Hard Facts. Corrected when wrong. No misinformation.

What's your thoughts…?

@OzraeliAvi Would you expect any better from the MSM ?

[Avi Yemini @OzraeliAvi]

Channel 9 calls it cherry-picking. He spent YEARS openly posting radical left-wing rhetoric and Greens content.

Nobody had to dig. He broadcast it daily.

If he were far-right, would Nine be downplaying it or leading with it?

The double standard is glaring.

[Ryan Dally @Ryandally08]

BREAKING: Labor Premier Ben Carroll felt so entitled that he filled up his tank, drove off, and only “remembered” to pay after Victoria Police got involved.

The Victorian Premier admitted he “forgot” to settle the bill after refuelling late Monday night while running errands in his own car.

Police contacted the Department of Parliamentary Services on Tuesday night. Only then did Carroll’s office sort it out with the servo.

His statement: he “found out yesterday,” fixed it straight away, and is grateful for the staff’s understanding.

When ordinary Victorians forget to pay at the pump, they get a fine or a call from the station.

When a Labor Premier does it, the police call Parliamentary Services and the matter quietly disappears.

This is the same government struggling in the polls and facing the possibility of losing seats on November 28.

Some inside Labor already fear Carroll could lose his own seat of Niddrie held on 6.7%.

Filling up and driving off isn’t a minor admin error when you’re the Premier.

It’s the kind of entitlement that comes from believing the rules are for everyone else.

But I guess he falls under the same umbrella as Anika Wells, if you commit an offence and get caught, you can just “pay it back” and everything’s ok.

[Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education @craigkellyAFEE]

A despicable new low in Australian politics.

I sat with Helen Haines on the cross-bench. Although we disagreed on many issues, she was always professional and a thoroughly decent person to work with. The kind and respectful words being said about her by many are 100% correct.

Her criticism of Albanese’s corrupt rorting over the Marrickville Golf Club affair was absolutely correct. She was doing her job, holding the government of the day to account, and standing up for her electorate, who missed out on the largesse of that corruption.

And remember, this wasn’t any ordinary rort — Albanese personally benefited from it, owning a property in the same street — and then he attempted to mislead parliament over it. Many politicians have been forced to resign over much less.

And for that, it’s reported that our despicable Prime Minister decided upon revenge — that Helen Haines needed to be punished — to set an example to other cross-benchers: criticise Albanese, and they’ll come after you with a dirt file.

And think about the timing: Albanese had his minions compile a dirt sheet on Helen Haines and released it in the media at the very same time they were finalising legislation to give the government the power to create false and fictitious “sock puppet” identities to disseminate government propaganda.

The revenge attack — the releasing of a dirt sheet on Helen Haines — demonstrates that the Albanese regime is unfit to have such powers.

And then there’s the sickening rank hypocrisy — Albanese calling for a “lowering of the temperature” and to “turn down the temperature” — this from a government that has vilified anyone who questions their economic policies as a “climate denier,” using the term “denier” to equate them to a Holocaust denier.

And anyone who says importing a million people in two years is too many is vilified as a “racist".

And anyone who opposes Albanese’s socialism is vilified as a “far-right extremist".

What an absolutely disgraceful and disgusting government we are living under.

🚨BREAKING: The Most Comprehensive Ivermectin–Mebendazole Cancer Paper to Date Finds 37 Distinct Anticancer Mechanisms Across 25 Human Cancer Types

We synthesized DECADES of evidence from over a HUNDRED studies, revealing one of the BROADEST repertoires of anticancer mechanisms ever documented for an off-patent drug combination:

IVERMECTIN: 29 distinct anticancer mechanisms across 20 human cancer types.

MEBENDAZOLE: 26 distinct anticancer mechanisms across 17 human cancer types.

COMBINED: 37 distinct mechanism classes across 25 human cancer types in preclinical research.

Across laboratory and animal studies, ivermectin and mebendazole have demonstrated multiple overlapping and complementary anticancer mechanisms:

• Disrupt cancer-cell division
• Trigger programmed cancer-cell death
• Interfere with tumor energy production
• Inhibit tumor blood-vessel formation
• Suppress cancer-cell growth signaling
• Target cancer stem-like cells
• Interfere with metastatic spread
• Modulate antitumor immune responses
• Disrupt cancer-associated DNA repair pathways
• Counter multidrug-resistance mechanisms
• Enhance sensitivity to certain chemotherapies
• Influence pathways involved in radiation resistance

This is a REMARKABLE breadth of anticancer mechanisms for two inexpensive, off-patent drugs—spanning nearly every major hallmark of cancer biology.

The landmark 44-page scientific paper was produced by our research team at the McCullough Foundation and The Wellness Company.

Importantly, both compounds have decades of human use, established manufacturing infrastructure, well-characterized pharmacology, and low generic-drug costs.

The data can NO LONGER be ignored. The scientific case for launching large clinical trials is stronger than ever.

In the meantime, cancer patients will continue exercising their “right to try.”

The Useful Idiot: A Natural History

Specimen: Western, educated, well-meaning.
Habitat: universities, NGOs, quality newspapers, dinner parties where the wine is good and the opinions are better.
Status: abundant.

The useful idiot is not exactly stupid. This is the first and most important thing to understand. Stupidity would be a defense. The more precise diagnosis is what we in Poland call pół-inteligent – the half-wit. Not the bottom of the intelligence distribution, which is too obviously lost to be useful. Not the genuine top, which tends to develop the inconvenient habit of following arguments wherever they actually lead. The sweet spot: smart enough to absorb a complex ideological framework, to deploy its vocabulary with confidence, to feel the social rewards of appearing sophisticated – but not quite sharp enough to interrogate the framework itself. Enough horsepower to run the program. Not enough to question who wrote it. The pół-inteligent is the useful idiot’s technical specification. And the specimen is typically convinced – this is crucial – that it is among the most independent thinkers in the room. The delusion is important. Remove it and the whole architecture collapses.

The species emerges in conditions of comfort and safety, which is why it proliferates in precisely the societies it works to undermine. It requires a baseline of security – enough that the consequences of being wrong about power remain abstract, theoretical, someone else’s problem. Eastern Europeans, who paid in flesh and decades for the privilege of understanding what the useful idiot enables, are able to see this as naivety so profound it becomes a moral failure. Not innocence. Culpable ignorance dressed as virtue.

Observe the specimen in its natural habitat. It discovers The Cause sometime between the ages of 18 and 24, usually at an institution of higher education, usually through social contagion rather than solitary reasoning. The Cause varies by generation – Soviet sympathies, third-worldism, postcolonial theory, current-year identity grievance – but the structure is invariant: a clean division of the world into oppressors and oppressed, a designated villain class, and a role for the specimen as enlightened ally. The emotional reward is immediate and substantial. Belonging. The claim of moral clarity. The warm superiority of the awake among the sleeping.

What the specimen does not perceive – what it is structurally prevented from perceiving – is that it is being used. Lenin coined the phrase, and he meant it with cold precision. The useful idiot is not a partner in the project. It is infrastructure. It provides legitimacy laundering: translating raw power-seeking into the language of justice, making the predatory appear compassionate, and doing so with enough genuine conviction to be convincing. The cynics who run the operation cannot do this themselves – cynicism is legible. True believers are required. The useful idiot’s sincerity is its primary value to those who deploy them. And so Lenin used them – and so does Islam now.

The specimen’s lifecycle has a melancholy third act that it rarely anticipates. When the project advances far enough – when the institutions are captured, when the Overton window has moved sufficiently – the useful idiot becomes inconvenient. It knows too much about the earlier, more honest phase. It has friendships across the new fault lines. It retains, sometimes, inconvenient principles from when principles were the point. The revolution, as it industrializes, prefers newer models: fully formed apparatchiks with no memory of idealism to complicate their loyalty. The useful idiot is retired, marginalized, occasionally denounced by the very movement it spent decades building. It dies puzzled. It never quite understands what happened.
We've all seen the very surprised lady in Paris...

History is littered with these figures. Western intellectuals who defended the Soviet project through the show trials, the Holodomor, the Gulag – and who spent the rest of their lives in various stages of retrospective rationalization. Fellow travelers who called Solidarity troublemakers, who thought the dissidents were exaggerating, who trusted the official version over the testimony of people who had lived it. Their names are recorded. Their counterparts today are producing content, signing letters, and occupying endowed chairs.

The useful idiot is not the enemy. It is the weapon. Understanding the difference matters – because the weapon can, in principle, be disarmed. It requires only one thing: contact with reality at sufficient intensity and duration to override the social rewards of the delusion. This happens. Some recover. Eastern European experience – the unignorable, undeniable, lived reality of what the project actually produces – has cured more than a few.

The cure is not pleasant. It requires admitting that one’s most cherished moral identity was constructed by people who found it useful. That the independence one prided oneself on was curated. That the dinner party consensus was not wisdom but a lie. Most cannot make this admission. The identity investment is too great. They double down instead – find new framings, new rationalisations, new ways to explain why this time is different, why the critics are the real problem.

They remain, to the end, useful.
