Reminder: the Liberals’ demise was needed for One Nation’s surge, but the reverse is also possible. If One Nation pacifies the electorate’s hate for the Liberal Party by tolerating them too much, it will be their undoing.
Just as One Nation needs to attack Labor, they must also continue, in some way, to attack the Liberals. Ultimately, the ire of One Nation voters is directed at the uniparty and its historical bipartisan support for mass immigration, hate speech laws, etc.
Insofar as One Nation needs preferences from the Liberals, they also need brand delineation from them too, lest the sentiment behind Pauline’s rise continues to meld into support for the Coalition, as some polling suggests.
People still hate the Liberals. It wasn’t long ago that they had Ley with “the best level of immigration is infinity” as chief economic adviser, and the rat Hastie voting for the hate speech bill. Channel the hate to delineate the parties and make the Libs chase PHON votes to the right instead of meeting in the economic centre, where the LNP’s legacy branding recovers and we’re back to the uniparty.
The median after tax income is $69,161
The average rent is now $36,669 a year ($705 a week).
53% of the average person’s income after tax, is wasted on rent. Completely insane and unsustainable.
Every year, wealth earned on Australian soil is extracted and sent offshore through personal remittances.
It is a deliberate wealth extraction process that is hollowing out our nation.
It's time to tax remittances and stop the bleed.
Watch this space. More to come.
Australia desperately needs to keep the violent stabber so he can look after his niece whose father he stabbed.
God forbid he comes to any harm in Egypt.
I am begging conservatives to stop pointing out leftist hypocrisy. It achieves nothing meaningful.
Every time leftists side with radical Islamists, right-wingers rush to say something like, “Oh, you support Islamists? Don’t you know they hate gays?”
They know. They do not care.
They are working together to achieve a shared objective: the upheaval of Western civilisation, the transfer of wealth from the native population, and demographic replacement.
They will happily tolerate “hypocrisy” until those outcomes are secured.
After that, they can fight among themselves over the finer points of gay rights or other internal disputes.
They are playing to win.
It is time we started playing to win.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says he is not concerned about the chilling effect the hate speech laws may have on free speech, arguing the laws are needed to stop racist bigotry and that the so called "free speech brigade" simply needs to get over it.
Renting was historically generally for households on below median incomes.
Yet in almost every capital city affordably renting a house is out of reach for a household on a median household income.

Hitchens wants to be the final Englishman and the last conservative on the planet. It's more about his own sense of vindication and martyrdom. It is very important he is denied this dream.
Latest Australian housing bubble report: “Couple who bought unit six weeks ago say they couldn’t afford it now”
They used the federal government's 5 per cent house deposit scheme to buy an apartment.
Six weeks later, the value of their unit has already climbed by $50,000.
"Migration is likely to be about 15% higher this year than Treasury has forecast, after the government quietly sped up the processing of international student visas by lowering the risk ratings of 13 universities."

ICYMI: Dirty Secrets Edition - Aged Pension & NDIS will sink Australia.
In 2016, Turnbull entered into the Australia-India social security agreement
Within this agreement, Australia and India would provide RECIPROCAL Medicare and Social Security benefits between the two countries, INCLUDING the Aged Pension.
Why was a reciprocal agreement needed when the flow of migrants was entirely asymmetric towards Australia?
At that time, Indian migration was less than 40,000/year and generally working aged. It’s now clipped over 100,000 bringing the total Indian population to over a million in 2025.
Since that deal in 2016, India has been the largest source of migrants for the last 10 years. Why?
Fast forward to today, with just 12% of all migration being “skilled”, the balance exist on various visa including families and the aged parent visa, which allows parents to stay indefinitely.
Citizenship is not required, nor is Residency. Just a permanent visa, including the aged parent visa subclass 804 which also entitles Medicare access. You only need prove you’ve been here for 10 years or as little as 1 if you paid into an insurance pension in India.
There is no Newly Arrived Resident's Waiting Period (NARWP) specifically for Age Pension.
Further to this, the NDIS scheme is also open for Indian migrants, including permanent visa holders.
Essentially, Indians who have paid NO TAXES are entitled to aged pensions that AUSTRALIANS have paid taxes their entire life for.
Our Aged Pension bill is currently $60bn, set to hit $120bn by 2035
Our NDIS bill is currently $40bn, set to hit $140bn by 2035.
On these two benefits alone, within just 10 years, their cost to TAX PAYING Australians will have increased by $160bn, to 260bn in 2035.
There will be NO aged pension for the Australians currently paying the tax which covers the pension and Medicare by the time most working Australians retire.
Why are Australians being forced to pay welfare costs to people who NEVER contributed to our tax base?
BREAKING: Immigration intake during the 12 months to August 31, was 467,410, the highest ever on record, and the net permanent and long-term arrival figure of 31,450 for the month of August was the second highest on record after 2023.
This equates to one-every-fifty five seconds
Pauline never went to estimates in the six years I was there. And rarely went to the chamber. One Nation had no branches until People First started branches.
I also have serious questions about their corporate governance. Losing $500,000 of members money and refusing to explain why doesn’t inspire confidence or trust.
But PHON is very good at rage baiting using the Australian flag as their prop. It’s a poor substitute for providing solutions that will address Australians needs.

The Guardian Australia modelled the effect of completely closing Australia’s borders for 10 years.
They found that house prices would increase by 2.3% but that wages would increase by 7.5% over the same time.
That would literally make housing more affordable for Australians, because real wages would increase more than house price increases.
But the headline screams: “CLOSING THE BORDERS WOULD LEAD TO HIGHER HOUSE PRICES.���
Are these people literally retarded?
