Labor's project to hijack the Australian economy for corrupt union bosses is becoming relentless. Legislation opposed by One Nation but rushed through by Labor and the Greens enables the Albanese government to discriminate against businesses which don't have EBAs backed by their union boss mates when awarding contracts and grants. The criminal CFMEU and other unions now have an effective chokehold on almost all government payments. It's no wonder that productivity is in freefall. Don't get me wrong. Unions have their place. Workers need representation when it comes to pay and conditions, although most choose not to be union members. Only about 13 per cent of Australian workers are union members. Workers need to ask themselves whether unions truly represent their interests or just those of Labor and corrupt union bosses. One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has been instrumental in exposing the CFMEU's direct involvement in wage theft from coal workers in the Hunter Valley and Queensland since 2019. Labor don't want you to know this. At the federal level and in that economic basket case we call Victoria, Labor only pays lip service to evidence of massive corruption in the CFMEU and infiltration of that organisation by organised crime. The bell is tolling for the Allan Labor government in Victoria. The latest RedBridge/Accent survey published today shows the Premier's net favourability is at minus 42 and One Nation has overtaken both Labor and the coalition on primary votes for the first time. One of our first priorities in Victoria will be to put in place the measures which will expose and end the CFMEU corruption enabled by Labor and restore confidence in the building and infrastructure industry and deliver accountability for taxpayers' dollars.

सिखों ने राजपूतों की तरह अपनी बेटियां मुगलों को भेंट नहीं की in matrimonial alliances: Zero documented cases of Sikh leaders or Gurus giving daughters in matrimonial alliances to Mughal emperors or princes. Key Historical Context • Rajput-style matrimonial alliances (giving daughters to the Mughal harem for political integration, high ranks, and jagirs) were not practiced by Sikhs. Sikh-Mughal relations were primarily political, military, and sometimes adversarial, without the personal marriage ties seen with Rajput clans (e.g., Amber, Marwar, Bikaner). • Sikh Gurus and later misl/ruler families maintained distinct religious and social practices. There are no references in Mughal chronicles (like Akbarnama, Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri), Sikh historical texts (Gurbilas, Bansavalinama), or standard scholarship to any such marriages involving Sikh daughters. What Did Happen in Sikh-Mughal Relations • Military and diplomatic ties: Some cooperation existed, such as Sikh soldiers serving in Mughal armies under Akbar, and Guru Hargobind accompanying Jahangir on campaigns (Kashmir/Rajputana) and subduing rebels on his behalf. Tactical pacts occurred between misls and Mughal governors against common enemies. • Conflicts dominated: Executions of Gurus Arjan Dev and Tegh Bahadur, battles under Hargobind and Gobind Singh, and later resistance against Aurangzeb. Relations were often tense due to religious persecution and power struggles. • Later periods: Phulkian states (e.g., Patiala under Baba Ala Singh) formed alliances with Afghans (Abdali) and British, involving tribute and service, but again, no matrimonial exchanges with Mughals. By the 18th century, Mughal power had declined sharply. In short, while some Sikh factions showed political pragmatism (alliances, service, tribute), they did not extend to giving daughters in marriage to Mughals, the hallmark of Rajput-Mughal integration. No credible historical sources record any such instances. If new evidence emerges from primary texts, it would be notable, but none exists in established records.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #sikhs #mughals #history #hindu #rajputs
