Solutions for today and the vision for tomorrow

I’ve been on the road the last couple of weeks here in Australia explaining our policies to our various branches across the East Coast. (WA in late August)

I caught up Robbie Barwick to talk about our merger and outline our key policies.

Australia’s economic growth is at its lowest in decades and desperately needs politicians who have the solutions for today’s cost of living crisis and a vision to ensure a better future for our children.

You can see the full interview in comments below.

“Australia is facing its longest stretch of weak economic growth since the early 1990s recession, but stubborn inflation pressures are still expected to force the Reserve Bank to raise interest rates again, according to a new report by Deloitte Access Economics.

The firm slashed its outlook for the Australian economy in its latest set of quarterly forecasts on Tuesday, predicting the economy will grow by just 1.3 per cent this financial year and 1.9 per cent in 2027-28 – marking the most prolonged stretch of sub-2 per cent growth in three decades.

“For too long, strong population growth has masked a weak underlying productivity performance and lifted aggregate growth while doing less to improve living standards,” Smith said.

“Years of insufficient investment in housing, infrastructure, energy and the economy’s productive capacity have left the supply side of the economy struggling to keep pace with demand.”

The Australian Financial Review reported on Monday that Australia now had the equal-highest core inflation rate among major developed economies.”

Marco Rubio lo acaba de clavar como un martillo:

«La violencia de la izquierda no es una “protesta”. Es una revuelta de lo peor contra lo mejor. Es la pataleta de los débiles, los mediocres y los cobardes contra los fuertes, los capaces y los buenos.

Son aquellos que no saben construir, crear ni lograr nada grande… y por eso deciden vengarse del mundo destruyendo lo que otros levantaron con esfuerzo, talento y visión.

Eso es el izquierdismo radical en su esencia más pura. Da igual la etiqueta del momento: anticapitalista, antiimperialista, comunista, anarquista, marxista, “progresista” o “activista climático”. El ADN es siempre el mismo.

Es resentimiento venenoso disfrazado de “justicia social”.

Es envidia podrida maquillada de “igualdad”.

Es odio a la excelencia envuelto en banderas de “liberación”.

Su único talento es destruir.

Su única alegría es ensuciar lo hermoso.

Su único objetivo es arrastrar todo hacia abajo para que nadie brille más que su propia mediocridad.

A través de la violencia, el terror y la cancelación buscan imponer su fealdad espiritual sobre la sociedad. No es idealismo. No es utopía. Es nihilismo puro con sonrisa moralista.

El viejo dogma se equivocó: esto no viene de gente que sueña con un mundo mejor, sino de gente que no soporta que el mundo sea mejor sin ellos.

Y ya estamos hartos.

La civilización no se defiende pidiendo perdón. Se defiende nombrando al enemigo por su nombre.

How is it that this guy was able to indicated on so many charges at childcare centres? 👇

If this isn't enough evidence that we need a complete overhaul of childcare I don't know what is.

The first that needs to change is that childcare should be paid directly to parents rather than directly to childcare centres.

Judging by their poor supervision record they should be an option of last resort, not the first cab off the rank.

"The reasons why a childcare worker accused of sexually abusing more than 136 children worked at or visited scores of centres have been revealed by investigators.

He now faces a total of 329 charges after he was hit with more than 100 fresh charges last week, making him one of the country’s worst alleged child abusers.

Detectives have so far identified 136 alleged victims from 121 families across Sydney, with Australian Federal Police Acting Commander Luke Needham saying officers were still trying to identify a further potential 22.

A list of the centres Mr Tait worked at or visited, including five locations where the AFP allege the offending occurred, has been published online. It had earlier listed 62 centres.

Investigators have now released details of why Mr Tait attended the 59 centres."

J. D. Vance failed in negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He has scapegoats. You won’t be surprised who he blames.

He is not a leader, he is a loser.

[Nicholas Lissack @NicholasLissack]

JD Vance is once again torching the US-Israel alliance by peddling toxic conspiracy theories about “Jewish influence” in America.

This snake is the venom rotting the Trump administration from the inside. We'd have regime change in Iran by now if not for him.

He must resign!

Cory Bernardi nailed it years ago and it’s still spot on.
Back in 2021 on Sky News he spelled out the Fabian Society’s game plan clear as day: founded 1884, they’ve always aimed for the gradual shift from democracy to socialism using the system itself to do it.
Original emblem?
A wolf in sheep’s clothing. They ditched it for the tortoise because the Bible warning was too obvious. Sidney Webb called it the “inevitability of gradualness”.
Australia’s own Fabian roots go back to that first overseas branch right here in Adelaide in 1891. The strategy never changed permeate the institutions, inch by inch, law by law, until the change is irreversible and most Aussies don’t even clock it.
Cory warned it was already underway under Coalition governments and would speed up under Albanese. Debt, bigger bureaucracy, speech controls, welfare dependency… hard to say he got it wrong.
Now leading One Nation SA, Cory’s still one of the straightest voices calling this slow boil what it is. We need more like him.
He was correct. Look at the damage done by Albo since his warning.

Activist: "Going plant-based means nothing has to die for my dinner."

Farmer: "Ever walked behind a combine?"

Activist: "No."

Farmer: "Follow one across a wheat field in August. Mice, voles, leverets, ground-nesting birds that sat tight instead of running. The buzzards learn the timetable and sit on the poles waiting. Then there's the rat poison round the grain store, the slug pellets on the oilseed, the pigeons shot off the brassicas, and whatever dies against the rabbit fence."

Activist: "That's incidental. It isn't deliberate."

Farmer: "It's annual, and it's on the invoice. The vole hasn't got an opinion about your intentions. You've drawn a line between the death you paid for and the death you paid for and didn't have to watch."

Activist: "It's still fewer deaths than eating meat."

Farmer: "Depends on the field. One bullock off a hill that's never seen a plough feeds a family for months and cost the wildlife the grass and nothing else. A hundred acres of arable gets combined, sprayed and baited every year to make your bread."

Activist: "You can't seriously claim veganism kills more."

Farmer: "I'm claiming nobody eats without something dying. You've chosen the version where it dies out of sight and called that innocence."

"A major controversy has erupted over Tasmania’s largest farm, a massive 22,000-hectare property that has been prime dairy and beef country for generations. A foreign investment fund successfully outbid local Australian farmers to buy the land, but they did it using $69 million of Australian taxpayer money provided by a federal government agency, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).

•The foreign fund isn't going to farm livestock. They're ripping up productive, high-yield food land to plant pine trees exclusively for corporate carbon credits. Critics argue this is a greenwashing shell game, allowing big corporations to buy their way out of polluting rather than actually reducing emissions.

•The local community is furious, with 99% of residents opposing the deal. Everyday Australians were given zero consultation or say in the matter.

•A director from the CEFC (the very government agency that supplied the $69 million in taxpayer funding) sat directly on the board responsible for "independently" approving the land acquisition."

[Australian Jewish Association @AustralianJA]

AJA Statement: Former AJA President Leaves Australia for Israel

The Australian Jewish Association (AJA) can reveal that its former President, Dr David Adler, has relocated to Israel, citing the surge in antisemitism in Australia as a significant factor in his decision.

AJA is aware of a growing number of Australian Jews who are considering making the same move amid concerns about their long-term future in Australia.

Former AJA President Dr David Adler said:

"I am proud of the contribution I have made to Australia, but I no longer recognise the country. Antisemitism and violence directed at Jews has reached levels under this government that I never expected to see in Australia.

Australia is facing serious challenges, with growing hostility not only towards Jews and Israel, but also towards Australia itself and the values upon which Western civilisation is built.

Israeli society is clear about what it stands for. The younger generation has demonstrated extraordinary commitment and sacrifice in defending their country. There is a deep sense of national purpose and pride in Israel's heritage, together with an understanding that Western civilisation is worth defending."

AJA President Robert Gregory said:

"We wish Dr Adler every success in this next chapter of his life. He has made an outstanding contribution to Australia through his leadership of the Australian Jewish Association for close to a decade and, over many decades, through his distinguished career in medicine and business.

We are speaking with an increasing number of Australian Jews who are actively considering relocating to Israel because they no longer feel confident about their future in Australia.

It is a deeply troubling reflection on the Australian Government that increasing numbers of Australian Jews believe they will be safer in Israel, a country that has endured almost three years of war, than in Australia. Antisemitism has reached historic highs under the Albanese Government, and for many, the Bondi attack was the final catalyst.

The Jewish community has been part of Australia's story since the First Fleet and has made an enormous contribution to every aspect of Australian life. The Government appears unconcerned that Australian Jews are leaving because they no longer feel safe. Perhaps it believes these departures can simply be offset by bringing in even larger numbers of migrants. It’s unclear whether that strategy will be successful.

The last thing anyone should do is give more powers to the RBA. 👇

Yet that is exactly what One Nation is proposing.

If making the RBA independent was the solution to our problems then why has Australia's economy gone backwards since it was granted full independence in 1996.

There are numerous examples where the RBA has recklessly inflated spending such as Covid only to then impose a credit crunch to rein in their own stupidity.

Furthermore we do not need to give more powers to unelected officials, especially central bankers. Don't get me wrong, you can't trust politicians when it comes to spending your money either but at least you get to vote them out.

As seen in estimates the RBA is heavily influenced by the International Bank of Settlements, the most insidious globalist organisation on the planet.

Not to mention the unwillingness of the RBA to repatriate our gold bars from the Bank of England.

The idea that One Nation wants to give the RBA more powers goes to show when it comes to economic management, they have no idea as to what they are doing.

It also makes a mockery of their claim to be standing up to globalist organisations.

This is just another reason to vote for People First. We will control inflation by building infrastructure and cut government waste without the RBA holding our hands.

"One Nation treasury spokesman Barnaby Joyce has signalled a radical reshaping of the Reserve Bank of Australia as one of the party’s top priorities, arguing that the institution should have powers to pressure governments to reduce inflation.

The government has moved to making a Reserve Bank less independent. I believe it’s got to go in the completely opposite direction – more independent. And I think, in that discussion, the bank must clearly state: this is the target money the government should be putting into the economy."

Marco Rubio just laid out one of the simplest demands imaginable: tell Iran to stop attacking ships, remove the sea mines, and allow humanitarian aid to reach the people who need it. If the UN can’t unite behind something this basic, then what exactly is its purpose? Keeping international waterways open isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a global necessity, and every nation that depends on free trade should have an interest in making sure the Strait of Hormuz never becomes another weapon.

Thanks for the nice birthday messages but I won’t be having a good day. I’m in Parliament House Canberra, this place is a dive filled with Australias most toxic people who think they’re all morally superior and have a divine right to rule over us peasants.

[Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران @iranidaturan]

Another major crack just appeared inside the regime, yet another sign that Trump is cooking the Islamic Republic from within.

On Saturday (June 27), 63 members out of 88 of the Assembly of Experts (Khobregan) (the clerical body that selects the Supreme Leader) issued a public statement.

They declared @realDonaldTrump and @netanyahu “mehdoor al-dam” (blood that may be shed), called for their killing as a religious duty for any Muslim who can reach them, demanded full revenge for the blood of the “martyred Imam” (Khamenei), insisted that Iran’s nuclear file must be completely removed from negotiations, and opposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

They repeatedly emphasized that “following the Leader’s red lines is a religious obligation” and that the negotiating team has no right to cross them. They also told Khamenei’s loyal orcs to stay in the streets and guard the revolution’s ideals.

Just one day later, the Secretariat of the Assembly of Experts rushed out a statement saying the declaration was “against customary procedure” and tried to downplay it.

These are the same mullahs who, within days of Khamenei’s elimination, quickly installed Mojtaba as Supreme Leader. Now they are clashing with the faction that is negotiating and surrendering to US. Then it seems they got a warning and the Secretariat was forced to do damage control.

To me, it looks like these hardliners finally realized they’ve been outmaneuvered. They thought installing Mojtaba would secure their power, but another cartel is now selling everything out in his name.

Now, Who are these people? A group of mullahs “elected” in a fake election (only regime-approved candidates are allowed to run). In the previous round (2024), even Hassan Rouhani (President of regime from 2013 to 2021) was disqualified and blocked from entering the inner power circle.

The only real rival to Mojtaba was Ebrahim Raisi (former President and Assembly member), but he was suddenly killed in a highly suspicious helicopter crash along with his powerful Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. Then came the puppets Masoud Pezeshkian and Araghchi ( who are strongly pro-deal)

Right after Khamenei was eliminated on February 28-29, these mullahs gathered, quickly announced they had voted, and made Mojtaba the new Leader (as if no one needed to actually see or confirm he was alive and in control).

Now the situation with Mojtaba is even more interesting: almost no one has seen or heard from him directly. A rival cartel ( Zolghadr, now the Supreme National Security Council) keeps him hidden “for security reasons” and speaks/negotiates in his name. Intrestingly, Zolghadr has his son-in-law as a deputy foreign minister ( again, very pro-deal).

Bottom line: One faction pre-planned everything, eliminated rivals, shaped the Assembly, and installed Mojtaba. Now that network is cutting a deal with the US in Mojtaba’s name. The others finally understood they’ve been sold out and the rug has been pulled from under them. That’s why they’re screaming publicly.

On the other side, the negotiating front is led by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of Parliament, who has kept the Parliment closed since the war to silence opposition. Now other mullahs are making noise because they know the parliament was shut precisely to suppress their protests against the deal.

The pigs are turning on each other.

Let him cook.

"Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been hired by an Indian company specialising in worldwide visa and citizenship services, as the Liberal party he once led pushes to clamp down on Australia’s immigration levels."

•••••••••••••••••

People First is the only party that has a specific policy to repeal the Indian migration agreement.

The reason is very simple.

India is a country that has 1.4 billion people. Australia is a country that has a population of 28 million people.

Add to that the vast difference in standard of living between the two countries and it's not hard to see that the migration agreement is extremely asymmetrical, resulting in many more Indians willing to come to Australia than Australians going to India.

India has been the largest driver of the increase in immigration over the last decade adding to an already constrained infrastructure, housing market and government service sectors.

As a former Prime Minister who was heavily involved in loosening immigration requirements with India, Scott Morrison should not be working to further entrench this asymmetrical arrangement.

Australians must come first with no exceptions.
