My wife's dad is an old school Wog.
Hard working. Loves his family. Frugal. All round great bloke.
He worked 3 jobs when my wife was born and stayed at one of the companies for 43 years.
He has one investment property, the house my wife was born in, and their family home in an affluent area.
He has enough money to do whatever he wants but he's a tightass. Unbelievably tight.
I've spoken to him about it many times and he says all his life he followed a plan, built wealth, a great life for his family and has a simple goal to pass it down to his kids and grandkids.
We told him for years to enjoy his life's work. That's what we want. Fly business class. Go to expensive restaurants often. Buy whatever gadgets you want. Just enjoy it!
Nope. He is deadset he is passing on his accumulated wealth to his kids and grandkids.
Now it seems Labor will be taking a big cut of his life's work. In the spirit of "intergenerational fairness".
The confiscated wealth will be used to pay the ever expanding political class, send it overseas to things that have nothing to do with him, support free loaders and an NDIS program littered with fraud and waste.
Tall poppies will tell me why should he be able to accumulate wealth and pass it to his kids when they can't.
Well, try spending more than 40 years of your life working, saving and investing to give your family a head start in life.
Like every parent should do for their children.
I want to apologise to people who have tried to get in touch with my office and haven’t received a response.
We are being inundated with thousands of calls, emails and messages every week and it’s not possible to respond to all of them.
The Albanese government cut the staff allocation to One Nation after the last election.
I have been going to both the Prime Minister and Special Minister of State Don Farrell since the staff cuts. I have been begging and pleading with them to give us more staff to deal with the heavy workload.
In fact, earlier this year a staff member wrote to the Prime Minister directly, explaining the extreme stress they are under.
Labor hasn’t even responded and couldn’t care less.
My staff have continued out of loyalty, and they want to help the Australian people but their health has now become a serious issue.
As the leader of One Nation, I have 5 Electorate officers and just 2 Parliamentary Advisers.
The Leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters, has 5 electorate officers and 15 Advisers.
The Prime Minister has 59 personal Advisers. Adding his other Ministers, the Government employs a total of 504 personal Advisers.
This is in addition to the 1,200+ employees in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet alone and 185,000 employed by the Government as bureaucrats in the public service.
This is the Prime Minister using his powers to disadvantage his political opponents who don’t agree with his agenda.
My office deals with people in very difficult situations, complicated family law, immigration, NDIS, veterans and welfare plus many other matters.
The Australian people’s personal struggles are worse than ever – my staff have had to talk people down from the edge of taking their own lives.
Many people come to us because they get absolutely no assistance from the government and many other political offices.
It’s beyond a joke the lack of help that Labor is providing considering I would have one of the busiest political offices in the country.
I didn’t want to air this out in public, but this Albanese government has given me no choice
It’s not that we don’t want to do the work for the Australian people, it’s that we physically can’t.
My staff want to help this country and the people in it, but they’re so stressed they are close to collapsing.
I am the leader of a political party that is polling more than major political parties.
The government has failed to staff One Nation anywhere close to a functional level.
This is pure, bloody-minded politics by the Labor party.
I’ve tried everything I can to help people and will continue to do so, but my hands are tied.
The Labor party like to go on about the battlers. Well I’ve got some in my office trying to do a decent job for many Australians, but they don’t care about them.
State leader Cory Bernardi is predicting a four-seat haul for One Nation in deadlock with the Libs – and is putting his hand up to form Opposition. 📌 EXCLUSIVE: https://t.co/JQbwiVF2oI

LIZARD LOOKOUT TODAY 🔴@ 7pm UTC
◼️Risk-to-Earn: Gold rush or short-sighted bet?
◼️Audience: Degens only or mainstream too?
◼️Future vs. Fad: Do we need Web2 polish or deeper blockchain?
Set your reminder below 👇
It's been 3 years since the Venture Ethlizards mint! 🥳
This marked the inception of the Lizard DAO, and we have grown so much since then
The industry has evolved too. There were barely any web3 games to play 3 years ago... despite the current sentiment around gaming, we've come a long way these last few years
We have choices of games, mainstream streamers playing and talking about blockchain, card game beef (because a web3 game is attracting traditional esports players), web3 games launching on consoles and more
Slowly, slowly, then all at once
And we will be there every step of the way
Cheers to many more exciting years 🥂
