I’m seriously in the most unfazed part of my life.
Don’t Like Me.
Don’t fucking care
Don’t like what I post.
Care even less
Heard a rumour.
Cool. Fucking hear it again
Want to leave?
I’ll hold the fucking door.
Superannuation was sold to Australians as a promise.
Work hard. Sacrifice now. Build your nest egg.
So you won’t have to rely on the government later.
That was the deal.
Now the moment people actually succeed… the rules change.
If you’ve spent decades building more than $3 million inside your super, the government now wants another 15%.
Think about that.
They encouraged you to take responsibility.
They incentivised you to plan ahead.
They told you to become self-sufficient.
And now they’re punishing the exact behaviour they promoted.
This isn’t about “taxing the rich.”
This is about trust.
Because once a government proves it can move the goalposts whenever it wants, every Australian should be paying attention.
Today it’s $3 million.
Tomorrow?
$2 million.
$1 million.
Whatever they decide.
Inflation will do the rest.
The dangerous part isn’t just the tax.
It’s the principle.
If you can’t build wealth, protect wealth, and pass wealth on to your family without the state reaching deeper into your pocket, then what exactly are we working for?
Superannuation was supposed to reduce dependence on government.
Now it’s becoming another pipeline back to government.
That’s not policy.
That’s confiscation dressed up as fairness.
Australians are waking up.
And they’re sick of being treated like an ATM.
An Australian family in Perth just sat down and did the maths the government hoped you’d never do.
Cost to buy & own a home over 34 years: $2,016,850
Taxes paid to the government over the same period: $2,717,865
You paid more in tax than for your own house. Let that sink in.
Breakdown:
• $2.2M in income taxes, GST, duties & excises
• $105k in council rates
• $94k in vehicle taxes across 7 cars
• $300k in tax on your super (the money meant for retirement)
And what’s the big relief in the 2025 Budget? A $268 tax cut.
That’s $5.15 a week — less than a pie and a beer.
You’re not bad with money. You’re being taxed into the ground.
I love this country, but I’m bloody tired of everyday Aussies working their whole lives just to hand over more to the government than they spend on their home — while those collecting it face zero consequences.
The numbers don’t lie.
Time to prepare, protect and future-proof your family. The fighting spirit is needed now more than ever.

What do you think? 🇦🇺
“No one is going to want to invest in Australia”. “What the Fu.k are you doing”. This insane CGT, which will destroy aspiration and ambition in Australia must be STOPPED. Every Australian must stand up.
Because nobody would invest in these foolish energy projects otherwise!
Labor says ordinary Australians need to lose their CGT discount and pay more tax on investment gains to help with inequality, yet foreign capital investing into renewable energy projects still gets a 50% concession to keep the money flowing in.
Anyone with functional grey matter knows if these projects were commercially viable on their own merits, governments wouldn’t need to preserve special tax treatment for foreign investors while reducing incentives for Australians trying to build wealth themselves.
Australians are entitled to ask whether the system is now being designed around attracting multinational capital rather than rewarding local productivity, ownership and investment. Labor have got to go.
CASTLE LAW NOW 😡
Donnybrook, Melbourne. January 2024.
Three masked criminals armed with axes storm into a family home in the dead of night. Inside was a pregnant woman, terrified and pleading for mercy as she was attacked in her own bedroom.
Her partner did what any decent man should do - he fought back. And hard.
He disarmed one of the invaders and stopped the threat before his family was butchered by this gang of animals, villains who had planned the attack in advance with masks, weapons, and fuel cans.
Unbelievably, he was initially charged with murder.
How have we sunk this low and this ‘woke’ ?
Let this next part be said clearly.
The only people responsible for what happened that night were the criminals. They chose violence and terror. They chose to invade a house occupied by innocent people, including a pregnant woman.
I have absolute sympathy for the homeowners whose sense of safety will likely never fully recover. They are the victims.
As for the intruders injured and killed during this pathetic escapade - spare me the public mourning.
Violent home invaders who enter homes armed with axes should fully expect they will be buried. And never allowed to leave. This is not tragedy, it’s consequence.
Every Australian has the fundamental right to defend their family and their own life against violent predators. No law-abiding citizen should ever have to face prosecution for refusing to become another helpless victim of armed criminals. - Domenic Strangio.

The Loy Yang A power station in Victoria's Latrobe Valley generates 2210 megawatts of electricity. Around the clock. Every day. Rain hail or shine. It supplies roughly 30 percent of Victoria's entire electricity needs and powers over two million homes. It has been doing this since 1984.
The active coal pit that feeds it covers 650 hectares. The total site including everything around it is 6000 hectares. To put that in perspective for anyone in regional NSW that is roughly the size of a decent family farm.
In 2023 AGL spent 92 million dollars refurbishing one of its four generator units to keep it running reliably until its scheduled closure. The station is not worn out. It is not running out of coal. It is being closed by a political decision not an engineering one.
Now here is the part that should make every Australian stop and think.
The coal is not running out. The Loy Yang mine has reserves of 168 billion tonnes of brown coal. At current usage of 30 million tonnes per year that is enough coal to last roughly 500 years on that one site alone. Geoscience Australia calculated total recoverable brown coal reserves across the entire Latrobe Valley at more than 76 billion tonnes. At current production levels those reserves are expected to last more than 1000 years.
And getting at it is not difficult. The layer of dirt covering the coal seam is only between 5 and 24 metres thick. The coal seam below it averages 180 metres thick. You remove a thin layer of topsoil and there it is. The Victorian Government has already extended the mining licence to 2065. The mine was originally planned to operate until 2048. It is being deliberately closed 13 years early.
So what does it take to replace it.
To generate the same amount of electricity from solar panels during daylight hours you need somewhere between 14000 and 16000 hectares of panels. That is more than 20 times the land area of the entire Loy Yang site including the mine. And after all that solar produces nothing at night. Nothing on heavily overcast days. And nothing at all after a hailstorm tears through the installation.
So you need wind turbines to cover the nights and the cloudy days.
Australian wind turbines have a real world capacity factor of around 30 to 35 percent. That means a turbine rated at 6 megawatts only generates an average of around 2 megawatts of actual power across a full year because the wind does not blow consistently. To replace 2210 megawatts of around the clock coal power with wind you need installed wind capacity of roughly 6500 to 7000 megawatts. At 6 megawatts per turbine that is over 1100 wind turbines.
The Sapphire Wind Farm in NSW has 75 turbines and covers 8921 hectares. Scaling that up to 1100 turbines you are looking at roughly 130000 hectares of wind farm sprawling across regional Australia.
And even then it still cannot guarantee power on a calm cloudy night. For those periods you need batteries or pumped hydro storage which requires yet more land and yet more billions.
So to replace one coal power station and its mine covering 6000 hectares you need approximately 14000 to 16000 hectares of solar panels plus approximately 130000 hectares of wind farm plus thousands of kilometres of new transmission lines to connect it all to where people actually live plus battery storage or pumped hydro for the gaps.
That is a total footprint of somewhere between 130000 and 150000 hectares against 6000 hectares for Loy Yang. More than 20 times the land area. Mostly on prime agricultural land across regional Australia. And it still cannot guarantee a single watt on a calm cloudy night.
The transmission lines needed to carry all this electricity are already blowing out catastrophically in cost before they are even built. The Central West Orana transmission zone near Dubbo started at 650 million dollars and is now confirmed at 5.5 billion. Eight times the original estimate. The VNI West project connecting Victoria and NSW went from 3.9 billion to potentially 11 billion. Project EnergyConnect from South Australia to NSW went from 1.53 billion to over 4 billion. Every dollar of every blowout goes onto your electricity bill for the next 30 to 50 years through network charges.
Australian taxpayers and electricity customers have already paid more than 29 billion dollars subsidising the renewable energy industry over the past ten years. The 2024 federal budget committed another 22 billion on top of that. That is over 50 billion dollars and counting.
For a fraction of that money Australia could have built several modern high efficiency gas or coal power stations that would generate reliable electricity around the clock on a fraction of the land. Or we could have a serious conversation about nuclear power which France has used for decades to generate cheap reliable around the clock electricity on minimal land with zero carbon emissions.
Instead we are deliberately closing a perfectly good power station that was just refurbished for 92 million dollars. Walking away from a coal reserve that would last 500 years. Covering tens of thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land with solar panels made in China using coal fired electricity. Building 1100 wind turbines across farming country that still cannot keep the lights on after dark. And spending hundreds of billions on transmission lines that blow out to eight times their original cost before the first pole is in the ground.
We are closing a 6000 hectare power station and mine that has powered Victoria for 40 years to build 150000 hectares of solar and wind infrastructure that cannot match what it replaces.
And the people making these decisions do not farm a single acre of the land they are covering with panels and turbines.
