“He leased an Australian port to China, then took $880,000 a year from the buyer.”
ANDREW ROBB / PORT OF DARWIN
A Trade Minister signed off a 99-year lease of an Australian port to a Chinese company. The day before he left politics, that same company put him on $880,000 a year.
This one’s been on the public record for years, and it still stops me cold every time.
In 2015, Andrew Robb was the federal Trade Minister. On his watch, the Port of Darwin was leased to Landbridge Group, controlled by Chinese billionaire Ye Cheng, a member of the CPPCC, an advisory body to the Chinese Communist Party. The lease runs 99 years.
On 1 July 2016, the day before the federal election, with Robb on his way out of Parliament, Landbridge began paying him a consultancy worth $880,000 a year. The terms: $73,000 a month for “strategic advice.” No specified deliverables. Thirty days’ notice to end it.
The ministerial standards say a former minister should wait eighteen months before cashing in on their portfolio. Robb waited zero days. He took roughly $2 million from Landbridge before quitting the arrangement in 2019, just ahead of the new foreign-influence register that would have required him to declare it.
I’m not alleging a crime. No crime has been found, and I’m not a court. What I’m pointing at is the structure: the decision in office, the beneficiary, the destination after office, the timing. Lease the port, leave the Parliament, bank the money. All legal. That’s exactly what should worry you.
This is what “legal corruption” looks like in Australia. Not envelopes of cash. A consultancy contract, signed on the way out the door, from the company you just did the favour for.
Cold hard facts. Sourced. Corrected when wrong.

🟠 #BREAKING ALBANESE WANTS TO RAID YOUR $4.5 TRILLION IN SUPER 🟠
From 10 August, Labor has banned you from borrowing to buy a home inside your own super fund. An SMSF was the only way ordinary Australians could own property through their super. That door is now shut.
Why? Anthony Albanese wants your retirement savings treated as a "national asset" for his agenda. Paul Keating summed it up at the roundtable: "They want the dollars." Dan Andrews wants it "repurposed" for government projects.
Call it what it is: the Fabian playbook, gradual state control of your money, never named out loud. Own less, depend more on Labor.
There is a way out, but of course, seek your own financial advice first.

Albanese and Dan Andrews met with billionaire Anthony Pratt in Sydney on Tuesday July 14, 2026.
Albanese has deleted images of the meeting from his social media - and of course this meeting has gone unreported by the ABC.
Yesterday, the post below was on Albanese’s official X page.
But today it’s vanished. Disappeared. Censorsed. Straight down the memory hole.
Not because it contained a factual error, but because this rotten, lying Albanese regime wants to cover up its cosy relationship with the billionaire class.
They are so deceitful they want to hide what they’re up to from the Australian public.
And don’t forget that Pratt gave Dan Andrews a $100K “job” on top of his already generous taxpayer-funded pension.
It stinks to high heaven.
As a retiree who worked for 45 years it’s obvious now that all the taxes I paid were pointless - Labor sees self funded retirees as the “enemy” …👇
No we don’t work any more - mostly because no one wants to employ a woman in her ‘60s… but we did work, damn hard, raised families, paid taxes & for what? To be egregiously “blamed” for society’s ills by our own Government.
All of you remember - you’ll be like us one day, although much less likely to be self-funded & more likely to be on a meagre Govt pension 🙄
Good morning Australia. Just a reminder that @AlboMP lied to 28 million people to get elected, lied and lied again, and then did a dodgy deal with the Greens to solidify the deceit.
All to screw you out of the fruits of your own labour, investments & endeavours.
Fuck the liar.
🚨 RAY HADLEY SAVAGES ANTHONY ALBANESE.
Radio legend Ray Hadley has absolutely eviscerated Anthony Albanese’s clown show Labor government for their gross incompetence and total chaos on immigration, tax reform, and coddling ISIS brides.
But the absolute kicker?
Australia is STILL flushing $20 MILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars every year down the UNRWA toilet, the same outfit that just sacked 70 staffers for their dirty Hamas links!
Ray calls it what it is: UNBELIEVABLE betrayal.
Ray is 100% right - this weak, spineless Labor mob is a danger to Australia with their soft on terror rubbish.
And he’s nailed the Coalition too: stop wasting bullets on One Nation and start hammering the REAL enemy.
Albanese’s failing, taxpayer screwing regime.
Every right thinking Aussie is fed up with this disgrace.
Enough is enough.
LABOR PM Albo said this week that the Far Right is causing “Anal Tearing” (his words). Yes, he’s insane.
Meanwhile Albo recommended a graphic Pornographic book for children in his reading list that encourages children to experiment with butt stuff.
This is extremely predatory & this is child abuse & if he is serious about this being a real medical issue then the woke left that are grooming young children are to blame.
Kids need to be protected from these child groomers & predators😡
In Australia, if you have a conversation with someone who criticises Islam, you get fired from your six-figure-a-year job.
But if you openly call for the death of Jews, you get a taxpayer-funded podcast on Spotify.
