NDIS EXPOSED: Massive 52 minute investigation with @PeteZogoulas into Australia's immense disability fraud crisis.
This is Minnesota on a national scale. The NDIS budget - now approaching $50 billion a year - is closing in on Australia's entire military budget, and there is so much fraud in the system that the official government regulator told the Australian Senate there are not enough judges in Australia to try all known cases of fraud. The entire Australian legal system would collapse if they tried.
Up to 99% of alleged NDIS fraud goes unprosecuted. Out of over 7,000 tip-offs alleging fraud in the March quarter of 2025, just 16 cases (0.22%) were prosecuted.
So alleged scammers don't even bother to hide abuse.
To give you just one example: we visited a West Sydney NDIS provider operating out of the exact same address as a previous NDIS business the Australian government shut down for fraud four months ago. They were using the same accountant and THE EXACT SAME PHONE NUMBERS!
When we confronted them on camera, the owners physically assaulted us, smashed $800 worth of @PeteZogoulas's equipment, and staff screamed "RETARD" at us.
These people work in disability care.
Very legitimate and professional disability service business.
Watch the whole thing now. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
This last week there's been a push from Victorian teachers unions, demanding a 35% wage rise over the next three years.
I'm a teacher, and here's why I think that's a bad idea.
Lili, a Lebanese-Syrian born woman who lives in Australia, tells the heartbreaking story of the persecution of the Alawite community in Syria.

The gotcha moment felt a bit like "what is Aleppo" for Gary Johnson. In saying that, Cruz not knowing the population of Iran was far less interesting than the fact he asserted the US is already at war there!

I would argue that having Senator Leyonhjelm in for 6 years and having two currently sitting state MPs isn’t simply “losing for two decades” (and I’m sure you’d agree having Limbrick and Quilty in during COVID was invaluable).
But to your point—even a crossbench full of libertarians couldn’t veer the government away from printing money, taxing to no end, funding foreign wars, and restricting freedoms. The point is to use the political podium to spread the message of non-aggression, and alert people to the fact that government is at its core a band of criminals. The fact that most people don’t currently agree shouldn’t be a deterrent (if anything, should frighten and motivate us).
With the disaster election have come calls (including from @reignitedemaust ) to form a single "minor right" party.
Libertarians should steer clear of this, listen here to find out why!

Dave Smith asked, ‘what is a libertarian?’
“The fundamental libertarian insight is that government, by its very nature, is a band of criminals. The essence of government is that it is a gang that took over and is the most powerful of all gangs.’
