@TMFScottP The minimum 30% is unfair for those saving for a deposit and using the stock market to maintain their purchasing power

This is Labor’s Katy Gallagher @SenKatyG, Australia’s Finance Minister who is clearly an economic illiterate. Either she is unable to distinguish the difference between a $160 billion credit or debit or she’s lying. Either way we’re fucked.

Since migration is going to be a key issue going forward, here are some quotes from Angus Taylor on the issue:

"This rather staggering shift in direction has happened without any real policy debate or discussion.

It happened not through thoughtful planning and strategy, but by negligence and continental drift.

And, this reliance on temporary migration is having enormous economic and social consequences."

"Australia’s migration program is not fit for purpose."

"Australia now has a migration program that fails to attract the most highly skilled migrants and fails to enable business to efficiently access workers.

At the same time, there is clear evidence of systemic exploitation and the risk of an emerging permanently temporary underclass."

Nah I'm just kidding all those quotes are from the Albanese government....

🚨Game-changing insight from Dr. Ben Bikman: Forget obsessing over LDL—your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio is the BEST indicator of insulin resistance & heart health!

Divide your triglycerides by your HDL (both in mg/dL).

- Under ~1.5? You're insulin sensitive—great sign!
- Over 1.5? Red flag—time to rethink carbs, prioritize protein/fat & cut refined sugars.

High ratio = higher risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome.

Low ratio = fantastic metabolic flexibility.

Most people think fat loss is about eating less and moving more.

But Dr. Lustig says that advice ignores one thing: Your hormones.

Insulin is the hormone that controls whether your body stores fat or burns it.

Here’s why it can make or break your fat loss:

Venezuela Just Proved the Bitcoin Bull Case, And No One Is Paying Attention

Maduro used Tether to move 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue. Billions in sanctions evasion, settled on Tron since 2020.

Then the US made a phone call.

Tether froze the wallets.

Game over.

Everyone's focused on the arrest. The real story is the lesson every finance minister on earth just learned in real time:
Stable coins are a leash, not an escape.

If someone can freeze it, it isn't money. It doesn't solve sovereignty.

First principles:
USDT is dollar plumbing without SWIFT. Faster. Cheaper. Still has a CEO. Still has a compliance department. Still picks up when Washington calls.

This is why USDT adoption exploded, 71-year-old grandmothers in Caracas pay their HOA fees in tether now. But useful ≠ sovereign.

The entire value proposition for sanctions evasion just got publicly falsified.

Now do the game theory:
You're Iran. Russia. Any country hedging against dollar weaponization. You just watched Venezuela's "crypto solution" get shut off like a light switch.

Where do you put reserves now?
USDT? Compromised.
Yuan? Political strings.
Gold? Try settling $500M across borders in 10 minutes.
CBDCs? Same kill switch, government branding.

There's exactly one asset that clears final settlement without asking permission from anyone.

21 million units. No CEO. No freeze function. No phone number.

This is the ad Bitcoin never had to buy.
The most desperate, highest-stakes capital on earth just learned there's only one door.

Price doesn't reflect it yet.
It will.

The world needs to wake up the the fact all our problems are because of politicians. The sooner we do that the sooner we can put our heads together and find a better way of doing things.

[that stock chick @ausstockchick]

Australia’s population has increased by 8.7 million people (46%) this century, the highest percentage rise in the developed nations.

One person arrives to live in Australia every 44 seconds reports Macro business.

But it takes 6-12 months to build a house…

Expect #RealEstate prices to increase.
