It has been revealed Burke/ Albanese have fast tracked their millions of migrant's citizenship to 12 to 18 months.

The most dangerous gov't in Australian history is trying to shore up the next election by totally destroying the country.

They have to be stopped.

Wake up.

If you raise the GST to 15% you should be able to get anyone earning under $50k a year paying 0% tax and nobody paying more than 36% which would create an awesome productivity boom with private sector growth outpacing public growth

I dont think a lot people truly grasp how much social mobility in terms of housing has been absolutely decimated.

In 1999, you could afford to buy a median house in every capital but Sydney on a median household income, in some cases absurdly easily.

Today, a place like Albury is unaffordable and in price to income terms is roughly in the same ballpark as California.

Dual income households in the top 20% of earners are today fighting tooth and nail for homes in same percentile that a bus driver and a part time canteen lady were buying at a canter at the turn of the millenium.

And it is entirely underappreciated what a major social issue this is.

If you cant build a decent life even with hard work and a huge income relative to the median, whats the point especially after all that tax.

Media Release: One Nation will reverse Dr Chalmers’ budget experiments

One Nation will fix Dr Jim Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments by reversing his capital gains tax and trust changes. One Nation will also protect negative gearing for up to two investment properties and vows to fight any plan by the Treasurer to impose death taxes and taxes on the family home.

One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said Australians were paying for a Treasurer who had no idea what he was doing and the Albanese Labor government who just cannot stop spending and driving up inflation.

“Dr Jim Chalmers is experimenting on the Australian economy, and everyday Australians are his guinea pigs.” Senator Pauline Hanson said.

“He’s playing with your home, your rent, your business and your savings. When his experiments fail, Australians will pay dearly.

“He has smashed business confidence, cut off business investment and helped send the property market into free fall.

“Already, more than 1,100 households who bought through Labor’s expanded five per cent deposit scheme are now estimated to owe more than their homes are worth.

“Labor encouraged them into the market, then pulled the rug out from under them.

“They botched the ATO credit card ban and lied about their involvement. They were forced to back down on their widow tax. Now accountants warn Labor’s trust changes could cost Australians billions in unnecessary advice and restructuring.

“Labor couldn’t run a corner shop. But they know how to send one broke.

“One Nation will restore the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount and scrap Labor’s proposed 30 per cent minimum tax on trusts.
“The status quo of allowing unlimited taxpayer concessions for property tycoons was not working for Australians. The Liberal plan to back the broken model protecting property moguls makes no sense.

“One Nation would continue to allow Australians to negatively gear up to two investment properties.

“Anthony Albanese has pulled the ladder up behind him on young people trying to break into the property market, protecting tax concessions for existing properties. This includes the Prime Minister’s own ocean view clifftop house in Copacabana, the hundreds of properties held by his own cabinet and the thousands of properties held by property tycoons.

“The Labor government must answer whether members of cabinet who benefited from grandfathering negative gearing concessions recused themselves from voting on the measures given their conflict of interest.

“Australians should be able to work hard, invest and get ahead. For many young Australians, an investment property was one way they could get a foot into the property market.

“One Nation will end this disastrous experiment and reverse Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments.

“And we will draw a line around the family home and stop any plans for Labor’s death taxes.

“It’s not enough that you already work several days a week to pay for Labor’s uncontrolled spending. Because Labor cannot control their own spending, they will keep coming back to shake you down for more.

“My warning is that your family home, your super, and what you leave your children will be in the firing line next.

“Labor broke its promises on negative gearing and capital gains tax. Why would Australians trust anything they say?

“One Nation will never impose a death tax. We will never impose a tax on the family home.

“You should not have to spend your life paying for Labor’s spending addiction, then have them send your children the final bill.”

BREAKING: THE BIGGEST CLIMATE SCANDAL IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY

The Albanese Labor Government has just been caught red handed. New forensic evidence suggests they are using a compromised Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) to fabricate a climate crisis that simply does not exist.

A explosive forensic audit led by investigator Tom Berger and retired scientist Geoff Sherrington has uncovered widespread, systematic errors and fake readings within the BOM’s raw climate data.

We aren't talking about minor glitches, we are talking about copy and pasted data designed to make the past look cooler and the present look warmer.

The audit exposed blatant data manipulation at the Sydney Observatory:
•The Fabricated Data: Minimum temperatures from August 1907 were found completely duplicated and inserted into the August 1867 record.
•The Cover-Up: The Australian fact-checked the National Archives and confirmed this "double-up" does not exist in the original handwritten records. The online data used to justify sweeping climate policies is completely wrong.

For years, the BOM has operated on a “trust us” basis. Dr David Evans, the scientist who built Australia’s carbon accounting software, warns that this “secret climate business” mirrors the worst days of fraudulent medical drug trials, where researchers were under immense pressure to exaggerate results to fit a narrative.

Labor is terrified of an independent audit because they know their Net Zero house of cards will collapse if the public sees the real numbers.

Dr Jennifer Marohasy confirmed that outside of Adelaide, there has been no proper audit of Australia's weather stations.

If our historical data is corrupted with fake inputs, the AI forecasting models used for future planning become entirely useless.

The Albanese Government doesn't want the data audited because the data doesn't support their narrative.

They are destroying our economy, killing our energy grid, and forcing Net Zero targets on regular Australians based on copy and pasted climate fiction.

The question is simple, if the records are sound, why is Labor so opposed to an independent audit?

WHY CAN’T BANKS WEAR THE COST OF CREDIT CARD FEES INSTEAD OF SMALL BUSINESSES OR THE TAXPAYER

This whole credit card fee schmoozle has just been a massive cost shifting exercise from the banks onto the taxpayer and small business.

Jim Chalmers needs to resign over this and if he doesn’t then Albanese should sack him.

Why should banks be getting a free pass in the middle of a cost of living crisis?

The return on equity of the banks is greater than 10% or in excess of $40 billion despite being backed by the taxpayer whenever things get shaky.

If anyone can absorb the costs of credit cards it’s the banks.

It’s bad enough that Labor is ideologically flawed, but to know the impacts of these costs on small business and do nothing about it is unforgivable.

It’s time to stop pandering to the big banks. Sign up to https://t.co/PeAaJW2pjF to take a stand.

“Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino has conceded the government knew the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) was considering banning credit card payments in July, months before the decision was made public.

The ATO's decision in late September to stop accepting credit card payments from December 1 sparked backlash from the business community, which eventually forced an intervention from the prime minister and the treasurer to underwrite the costs and allow credit cards to be accepted by the tax office until mid-2027.

Mr Mulino today said he and Treasurer Jim Chalmers were first made aware of the ATO's intentions months ago.”

[Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education @craigkellyAFEE]

The hottest day ever officially recorded in Australia, using a standard Stevenson screen at a government weather station, was 125 °F (51.7 °C) on Sunday, 3 January 1909, at Bourke, New South Wales.

For decades this was long recognised as Australia’s hottest day.

However, it didn’t fit the “global warming” narrative. For if, as alarmists assert that “climate change” is causing unprecedented record heat, how could our hottest-ever day have occurred back in 1909?

So just as Orwell described in 1984, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) rewrote history. "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute ….. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

The BOM’s excuse for erasing this record was that the observer at the Bourke Post Office in January 1909 supposedly made a mistake. "Observer error" someone at the BOM decided from a desk in Canberra a century later.

The BOM’s justification for declaring it a “mistake” was the assertion that no nearby weather station recorded a similar temperature spike on the same day, so therefore the 125 °F reading at Bourke must have been an error.

But that claim by the BOM is a LIE.

Before COVID, I personally visited the Australian National Archives to examine the original handwritten meteorological observation books because I no longer trusted the BOM after some of their earlier data manipulations.

The archived observation book from the official weather station at Brewarrina — the nearest official station to Bourke, just 100 km away — recorded a maximum temperature of 50.6 °C (123 °F) on the very same day in January 1909. The hottest temperature ever recorded there.

Thus, we had two official government weather stations only 100 km apart both independently recorded extreme heat on the same day: Bourke 125 °F and Brewarrina 123 °F.

Game, set, match.

The Bourke record must be reinstated and the BOM held accountable for their malfeasance and fraudulent attempt to rewrite our history.

One of my regrets is that the human-rights abuses inflicted upon Australians during the COVID years, along with the malfeasance at the TGA, distracted me from pursuing this matter in Parliament further at the time.

Any organisation that can so brazenly and fraudulently tamper with historical data, as the BOM has done, simply cannot be trusted.

I’d bet London to a brick that the very same people at the BOM who fraudulently altered our climate history have their fingers all over the $100 million of taxpayers’ money they’ve spent “updating their website”.

There should be a full investigation into the Bureau of Meteorology.

I volunteer to head it.

Explosive reporting in @australian that the BOM has faked temperature readings & made many statistical & misleading errors in its quest to provide narrative for its climate change campaigning. This bomb of an agency is a propaganda machine & it should be sacked. We’ve witnessed its disastrous deal with Accenture which received around $78 million for its controversial work redesigning the BoM website & its content management system. I note that Assistant Minister for Science, Technology & the Digital Economy @Charlton_AB was boss of a company acquired by Accenture. Maybe he will use his influence to get the BOM to clean up its act?

[Dr Russell McGregor @KillAuDeepState]

[Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education @craigkellyAFEE]

What a clueless imbecile. The worst PM ever.

Productivity has collapsed. The economy is in free fall. Businesses are closing everywhere, and Albanese celebrates that employers can’t contact their employees in case of an emergency.

Where an individual’s livelihood depends upon the continued success of the organisation that employs them, it is reasonable to expect that they would wish to remain contactable at all times in the event of an emergency.

In such circumstances, the job that is preserved may well be their own.

Albanese’s stance simply demonstrates a lack of understanding. A socialist mentality, that doesn’t understand wealth needs to be created.

Arrangements for work outside normal hours should be determined according to the circumstances of each individual case and left for the employer and employee to agree. They don’t need government interference.

Consider a doctor who cares for pregnant women informing a patient that she should not have her baby at the weekend because the doctor chooses to disconnect then.

The doctor is free to make that choice; likewise, the expectant mother should be free to seek another doctor.

[Marko Matvikov @MarkoMatvikov]

It’s been revealed the government knew in advance that the ATO would stop taking credit card payments in response to the surcharge ban.

The ATO reportedly even gave the government three options: an exemption, cover the cost or a ban.

True to form with this government, they ignored financial advice and left the ATO with no real choice but to ban it.

Albo & Co. continue to dogmatically pursue big changes while repeatedly dismissing basic concerns.

And what have they actually delivered? Weak consumer confidence, falling business sentiment, stagnant productivity and stubborn inflation.

MORE BOM DATA FUDGING EXPOSED

The Bureau of Meteorology has been caught out transcribing raw written weather records incorrectly onto their databases.

For years I have tried to expose the data tampering by the Bureau of Meteorology in order to distort climate records.

I’ve been constantly ridiculed throughout my political career as being unqualified to comment on the issue because I’m not a “scientist”.

Yet this has never been about science. It’s about record keeping plain and simple, and the integrity of those records.

Something that I was qualified to speak about given my 25 years in managing financial records and studying statistics up to Masters level.

Whats particularly frustrating about this is that this isn’t the first time the BOM has exposed for fudging records and yet they are continually allowed to get away with it.

This includes the media continuing to report their records used to promote “climate change” as though they are the gospel.

If you want to fight this corruption then sign up to https://t.co/PeAaJW2pjF today.

“A forensic audit has uncovered false readings and widespread errors in the Bureau of Meteorology's raw climate data, including blocks of temperature readings copied and pasted across different years and seasons, raising questions about the integrity of records used for climate analysis.

Anomalies in the BOM's online temperature records ranged from whole months of duplicated data decades apart to statistically impossible whole weeks of identical temperatures to one decimal place.

The data errors are not just historical, with the audit, conducted with pattern-recognition software, finding more than 40 per cent of the flagged entries or events dated after 1990.

Mr Berger said none of the findings required any knowledge of climate science but were purely data-integrity failures that would disqualify any dataset in any other field of science.

Mr Berger undertook the audit with retired scientist Geoffrey Sherrington who said he lived by the motto "trust, but verify".

"We are concerned that government policies like net zero are informed by data represented as raw and unadjusted when under investigation by our forensic pattern analysis programs, that is incorrect," Mr Sherrington said.”
