We have these in Victoria, Australia now.

They just slipped through digital ID.

Stand and applaud.

It takes a special type of ‘genius’ to achieve the highest inflation rate in developed world.

Victoria’s government wants to throw people in jail over unpaid parking fines and toll debts.

But stab someone with a machete or firebomb a business? Straight out on bail.

‘Lose’ $15 billion of taxpayers’ money? Totally acceptable.

Priorities.

🟠 SALAH ALMUHAMA ABUSED A TOOWOOMBA SCHOOLGIRL AND WALKED FREE FROM COURT 🟠

Almuhama, a 29-year-old Iraqi refugee, lured a 14-year-old with a vape and abused her at a lookout while on bail. The rape charge was dropped, and Judge Deborah Richards suspended his whole sentence over his deportation risk. No jail.

WATCH One Nation senator Tyron Whitten tear into the sentence in the Senate and demand he be deported.

Deb Frecklington can still appeal it, and Tony Burke can cancel his visa. Neither has moved.

🇬🇧 UK Government to legally take over the YouTube algorithm.

They will force the platform to promote “approved” content and hide critics of the regime.

Pure dictatorship in disguise.

This is an attack on free speech.

Stop it before it’s too late.

Won’t be long until the Australian government tries something like this. Vote Labor or Liberal, it won’t make any difference, they’re one and the same.

[Paul Zauch @PaulZauch]

This week our PM spoke about extending the social media ban citing misogynistic content as a main justification.

He then went on a comedy podcast and objectified a famous Australian woman when he could have set an example.

He has no moral courage or moral authority.

Albo’s housing reforms are going down like a lead balloon.

The PM is trying to make it easier for young people to buy a home.

But they’re still being locked out of the market.

Listen to the details HERE.

LIAR.

Bowen is lying to the Australian public. Again.

To claim that "the most unreliable part our energy system is coal" is just an unmitigated lie.

Coal is backbone of our electricity grid, and it has to flex up and down because of the total unreliability of wind and solar.

Australia deserves better than a dishonest liar as Energy Minister.

[Prue MacSween @macsween_prue]

Figures released today show that we mugs have paid an extra $23b for our energy bills as a direct result of the energy crisis created by Bobo Bowen & @AustralianLabor The much touted $275 saving is a standing joke. And now we hear that new home loan applications for first home buyers have tanked 20% since Hey Big Spender @JEChalmers had his CGT /Neg Gearing brain fart. Yes. The same young people who @AustralianLabor is trying to seduce, have been dudded by this inept policy decision. It makes a mockery of all the claims of @ClareONeilMP (who makes a daily mockery of herself on social media) that this Govt is helping young Aussies buy a home. Could this Govt get any worse? You betcha.

We saw during Covid just how corrupted by ideology the whole sector is...the mask is off.

[Malcolm Roberts 🇦🇺 @MRobertsQLD]

From a Victorian mate:

“Just been informed my electricity rate is increasing by 20%.

That’s a 100%+ increase in 4 years.

Have checked the comparison website and this is the new cheapest rate.

I thought Bowen said prices were falling?

Can I opt out of paying for wind, solar, batteries and new transmission lines?

Give me coal and gas please.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has hit two new lows in one day – a cringe-worthy podcast sex confession followed by a Newspoll revealing Labor’s shocking slide in three states > https://t.co/HpBzMLyCis

[Senator Babet @senatorbabet]

I am sick to death of paying tax. The government has me bleeding from my eye balls with how much tax they steal from my family and I. Australia is simply becoming impossible.

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

Albanese is a complete embarrassment to the nation—a cringeworthy, undignified clown who has no business occupying the office of Prime Minister.

In a whisky-soaked podcast interview, Australia's so-called leader gleefully declared he would "shag, marry, and date" Kylie Minogue when pressed in a juvenile game of "shag, marry, or date."

He didn't hesitate. He didn't deflect with any semblance of class—he giggled like a schoolboy and doubled down: "All of the above..."

This isn't harmless banter or "letting his hair down." This is the Prime Minister of Australia reducing himself—and by extension, the country he represents—to the level of a leering, low-rent reality TV contestant.

A head of government should project decorum, dignity, and gravitas, especially in public.

Instead, Albanese wallows in vulgar, sleazy locker-room talk about one of Australia's most iconic and respected cultural figures, all while casually undermining the seriousness of his role.

Prime Ministers are not entertainers chasing viral moments on podcasts.

They are entrusted with leading a nation, handling crises, and upholding standards that command respect both at home and abroad.

Albanese's pathetic performance reveals a man utterly devoid of self-awareness, class, or restraint.

He's not "relatable"—he's repulsive.

This is the same leader who should be focused on pressing national issues, yet he chooses to debase himself (and Australia) with crude celebrity fantasies.

If a conservative Prime Minister had stooped this low, the media outrage machine would be in full meltdown, branding it sexist, unbecoming, and disqualifying.

But with Albanese, it's just another day of excused mediocrity from a Labor leader who consistently embarrasses the country.

Australia deserves far better than this bumbling, dignity-free embarrassment in the Lodge.

It's time for him to grow up—or get out.

LABOR MUST GO
#DitchJacinta #BootOutLabor
#FreshStartVictoria

“Premier Jacinta Allan’s chief infrastructure adviser confidentially estimated the cost of rorts and rip offs could be as high as 30 per cent on parts of Victoria’s Big Build, while another top official privately conceded the state government had done nothing to nail down the true cost of corruption on its projects.

The damning comments attributed to the high-ranking Victorian public servants are contained in a trove of documents released by the Fair Work Commission to this masthead following a freedom of information request.

They undermine efforts from Allan and certain building unions to focus on inflation and discount corruption and wrongdoing as driving cost blowouts and delays on the $100 billion Big Build infrastructure program.

The files contain commission general manager Murray Furlong’s contemporaneous notes of a meeting in October last year, where he writes that a senior Labor government public servant was asked by a public service colleague to try “approximating the cost” of wrongdoing on the Big Build.

The wrongdoing was described in the notes as conduct in the “ambit of crime … such as ghost shifts & [gangland] enforcers supplied via made-up jobs” as well as “unproductive work practices and patterns required by the CFMEU” and a range of other factors.

Furlong’s notes of this meeting state the senior public servant estimated there was a “30% CFMEU premium on [Big Build] sites”

While the note doesn’t identify the official who made the comment, a source with knowledge of the meeting, unable to discuss it publicly, said it was Kevin Devlin, who for years has overseen the Big Build as the head of the Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority.

In the notes, Furlong also recalls a senior industry representative describing the removal of a national code governing construction industrial relations was “like switching off the electric fence”.

This masthead has previously reported that Devlin had separately been party to a national peak body’s confidential briefing that warned of lawlessness in the construction industry and also cited a 30 per cent premium.

Furlong publicly referred to the 30 per cent figure at a Senate estimates hearing in February attributing it to discussions with Victorian officials.”

[Havee S Chu Chu @HaveeSnowball]

It's really bad. Having the Australian Prime Minister implicated with a serial killer and psychopath.

Who are Albo's mates? Why does he hang out with scumbags like this?

[Ron Dunn @ronInBendigo]

Hundreds of Victorian drivers are being left stranded by wheel and tyre damage from massive potholes on country freeways and other roads.

@JacintaAllanMP pissed the money to repair them down some tunnels in Melbourne. And managed to throw a $15BILLION earner to the CFMEU.

[BroBro🇦🇺🏇🏻 @realRick_AUS]

Jacinta Allan has spent years not only denying corruption in the big build with the CMFEU,

She mocked and belittled anyone who even questioned it

Now she’s put out a news article apologising for the corruption and telling everyone she’s gonna fix it

Angry is an understatement
