Jim Chalmers' upcoming interview on 60 Minutes is just damage control for a blatant assault on democracy.
No matter how you view these budget changes, lying to the public and doing the exact opposite of your election promises is a disgrace.
He has no mandate to rush this through without proper consultation. It’s absolutely shameful.
🚨 Labor screams “billionaires buying favours!” over One Nation’s $3M+ “Fire the Liar” success.
The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
Australians haven’t forgotten Labor’s long list of donation scandals:
$100,000 cash stuffed in an Aldi bag from Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo
Networks of straw/fake donors used to launder illegal contributions
An incriminating suicide note from a witness who died before testifying
ICAC findings of corruption involving former Labor MLC Ernest Wong
Recent charges against Labor figures over illegal donations to help Premier Chris Minns get elected
Hollywood-level corruption, yet they lecture everyone else. Who’s really selling Australia out?

Albanese slams Pauline as ‘divisive’, the same race-baiting hypocrite who tried to split Australia by skin colour and is now weaponising young vs old over housing.
Talk about projection. Fire the Liar! 🤥
@newscomauHQ Socialist idiots are everywhere. A trillion because Musk is actually building for a positive future and not trying too tear everything and everyone down.
In Australia you can scream "globalise the intifada" and incite violence and hatred and you will be given a cushy taxpayer funded podcast job with the ABC, but boo the disrespectful Welcome to Country and you are arrested, fined and given a criminal conviction.
#BREAKING MP Kevin Hogan blasts PM
Anthony Albanese in Parliament for destroying Australia's risk reward economic model.
Hogan's critique is razor sharp, the government has systematically inverted incentives for private enterprise.
Historically, risking capital meant keeping the return.
Now, the framework forces a parasitic transfer of wealth “You take the risk and the Albanese Government gets the reward” Hogan argued.
Hogan then rages that this isn't just failed policy, it's a calculated “unforgivable" deception of the Australian electorate.
Hard to argue.
On This Day — June 4, 1967
Israel stood completely alone — betrayed by its allies and facing annihilation.
France — Israel’s main arms supplier — imposed a total weapons embargo on Israel at the direct order of President Charles de Gaulle.
Already, every major Western power, including the United States, had Israel under a weapons embargo.
The Israeli Cabinet met in emergency session as massive Arab armies gathered on its borders. Egypt alone had nearly 100,000 troops and 1,000 tanks in Sinai, with Jordan, Syria, and Iraq adding more forces. Arab leaders were openly calling for Israel’s destruction.
A cable from U.S. President Lyndon Johnson made the situation brutally clear:
“Israel will not be alone unless it decides to go it alone.”
Israel got the message.
With no strategic depth, vastly outnumbered, and abandoned by its supposed friends, the Cabinet voted 12–2 to launch a preemptive strike on the largest Arab military, Egypt (which had already committed an act of war by closing the Straits of Tiran). The war would begin the next morning.
The mood across Israel was somber and resolute. Parks were dug up for mass graves. Schools became bomb shelters. Teenagers filled sandbags. The entire nation understood it faced an existential threat — a potential second Holocaust.
Yet on June 5, Israel acted.
This was the moment a small, isolated nation chose survival over waiting for the mercy of others.
Never forget how alone Israel truly was on the eve of the Six Day War.
“We will kill them. We will torch them. We will grind them to dust.”
On this day in history, after Arab leaders openly threatened to destroy Israel, Arab armies built up on its borders, Egypt blocked Israeli shipping through the Straits of Tiran, and UN peacekeepers left the buffer zone after Egypt demanded their withdrawal, Israel struck first.
The Six-Day War had begun.
In just 6 days, Israel defeated Egypt, Syria, and Jordan on multiple fronts, taking the Sinai, the Golan Heights, Gaza, and the West Bank, known historically as Judea and Samaria.
Years later, Egypt received the Sinai back in exchange for peace. A peace that still stands today. Jordan later renounced its claim to the West Bank and made peace with Israel as well.
The Golan Heights, taken from Syria after years of Syrian attacks from above, was eventually annexed and became an inseparable part of Israel.
Today, anti-Israel propagandists try to rewrite that war as Israeli aggression. But the truth is simple: Israel was surrounded, threatened, blockaded, and left with no choice.
Watch the clip. Learn what really happened.
🚨 Tax specialists have uncovered a sleeper clause in the federal budget bill designed to quietly inflate investor tax bills — and it's a rort. The bill which passed the lower house yesterday, introduces a mandatory "loss-ordering" mechanism for the first time in Australian tax history. Instead of cherry-picking how losses offset gains, investors will now be forced to burn through their oldest gains first — stripping away the 50% CGT discount and leaving newer gains fully exposed to the punishing new cost-base indexation regime from July 1, 2027.
Say you bought shares in 2018 and again in 2024. You sell both at a gain, but you also have losses to offset. Previously, you'd apply those losses to your 2018 gains first — which already qualify for the 50% CGT discount, meaning less of them are taxable anyway. Under the new rules, you're forced to do exactly that — exhausting the discounted gains first and leaving your 2024 gains fully exposed to the new, harsher indexation rules.
You end up paying more. This isn't an oversight. It's a deliberate revenue grab buried in fine print
