@Theblackfemini3 OMG! They're so beautiful. I remember handling new born lambs so well. They are so cute, it's like handling a kitten or a puppy that eats grass when it grows up. I well up with emotions knowing full well, I want to harvest that food when it's life cycle is complete.
The Hidden Risks Behind Labor’s Push to Merge Superannuation and Social Security.
Australia is being told to view the proposed merger of superannuation and Centrelink as a bold reform; a modernisation of retirement policy, a streamlining of welfare, a clever administrative fix. But that framing is the sugar‑coating. The reality underneath is far more consequential and far more dangerous for ordinary Australians.
Superannuation isn’t just a single pool of money held by a handful of large funds. It includes every pension scheme in the country: police, firefighters, ambulance officers, teachers, public servants; the backbone of Australia’s essential workforce. All of these funds sit under the same legislative umbrella. And once they are folded into a Centrelink‑controlled system, the government gains something it has never had before: direct access to the retirement savings of millions of Australians.
This proposal is not about efficiency. It is not about modernisation. It is about access: access to money that was never the government's to touch.
Under the model being floated, Centrelink would determine how much of your own savings you are permitted to withdraw. The ATO would automatically apply taxes before you ever see the money. And at the end of the financial year, you would be left to claw back whatever portion the system decides you’re entitled to reclaim. The independence Australians have always had over their retirement savings would evaporate.
Worse still, your home, the equity you’ve spent decades building, becomes another variable in the welfare equation. A private asset becomes a public lever.
And what does this unlock for the government?
A vast reservoir of funds that can be quietly redirected into immigration programs, housing schemes, and support for new arrivals, all without raising taxes or justifying new spending to voters. It is a redistribution pipeline disguised as “retirement reform.”
This is not the Australian Dream. It is Labor’s version of it; a version where your lifetime savings, your pension, and even your home are repurposed as tools for government policy rather than assets you control.
Australians deserve a retirement system that protects their independence, not one that absorbs their hard‑earned savings into bureaucracy. They deserve transparency, not a structural overhaul that masks fiscal opportunism behind the language of reform. And they deserve a government that respects the boundary between public welfare and private retirement, a boundary that exists for a reason. And, potentially, opens the door to another untapped resource, annual personal property taxes.
The stakes are enormous. This proposal isn’t just a policy shift. It’s a redefinition of ownership, responsibility, and the social contract itself.
The question to voters is this: Will you vote for Labor and allow this to happen, and if they do force through these communist laws, seize your superannuation, and give it to Centerlink to distribute, what will you do about it?
@PaulineHansonOz Aboriginal people in Australia deserve the best. They are NOT getting it. I live in FNQ. I do not see the money getting spent here, especially in the remote, regional communities. Any funds that finally "trickle down" are secured by jumping through hoops. Cut the red tape.
@PaulineHansonOz The ultimate protection racket. Billions meant for regional communities instead gets swallowed whole by CBD consultants, corporate boards, and professional activists.
If that money actually hit the ground, their entire industry would go bankrupt.
Hard audit the whole lot.
We need a “complete audit” on aboriginal and indigenous funding.
Taxpayers deserve to know how much money is being spent, on what specific programs, and why its not getting to the people in need, regardless of skin colour.
Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech.
"Only two sorts of people oppose free speech... snowflakes and totalitarians."
"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings."
"It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit."
"No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it."
"You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said."
"You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say."
"Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few."
@Theblackfemini3 My 15yo daughter was grabbed on the arm by one as she was leaving Woolworths and asked her if she wanted alcohol. If I ever find him it will be the worst day of his life.
@Theblackfemini3 Tell your niece it’s legal to carry pepper spray if she has been in a domestic violence incident she doesn’t have to prove it. She just has to say it.
@Theblackfemini3 🤬🤬🤬 That's absolutely f*cked. 🤬🤬🤬
I hope she can remember the details of his description to help police. Not that they're hands aren't tied.
Im fuckin fuming!
My 30 year old niece is down visiting her mother, and she's at home in tears.
A street shitter just tried to force her to go with him.
She was walking through Berkley to get home, and he came up behind her and grabbed her by the arm demanding she go with him trying to drag her.
She screamed, threw a few and he let go, she ran for her life.
The police have been called
"Treat Sky News like a ‘drunk raving at the moon": Turnbull.
Malcolm Turnbull is a fruitcake. Rupert Murdoch's media outlets here in Australia keep the dominant left-wing MSM honest.
Sky gives you both sides of the political debate, unlike 9News etc.

This is very scary
As could be foreseen, Albo and his cronies are now coming after our super money
Members best interests test to no doubt go out the window
Tax changes that disincentivize risk taking and productivity, seizing super as a 'national asset', NDIS welfare lagesse, etc
What we are witnessing is the destruction of a capitalist society in real time
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.
