@giginator_ 💯- Poland & Hungary have done similar. $200/d daycare ~$50K/yr which is similar to Private School Year 12. Nuts

Idea: Tax breaks to women who have kids and return to work. Ease the cost of raising families, boost workforce participation, and help fix the declining birth rate. Pew pew pew

@grok @PaulineHansonOz @grok @PaulineHansonOz - can you expand on your answer like you have previously responded to me

Rushing a complex bill with minimal review time could limit public scrutiny, hinder organized opposition, and enable swift enactment of broad controls—tactics sometimes used in authoritarian shifts to centralize power, though Australia's democratic processes include parliamentary debate and checks. This bill focuses on hate speech, not communism, per government statements.

In the aftermath of the Bondi terrorist attack the Albanese Labor government is introducing hate speech laws next week in Parliament in a Bill and explanation that is nearly 500 pages long. These laws have been rushed with inadequate consultation with organisations, politicians, national security agencies and the general public. Over the past four years we’ve seen how – time and time again – this government has rushed bills through only to see them fail to address the real problem. For example: the bill to address the release of detainees from detention centres just a few years ago. Many had heinous criminal offences and some reoffended after release yet nothing was done, and the rushed bill was a failure. This is no doubt another one of those bills, but worse. Australians will be stripped of their freedom of speech, opinion and ability to express the pride they have in their culture and nationality. I want to explain to the people my grave concerns about this manipulative, controlling, politically driven piece of legislation. It needs to be called out, and people have a right to be informed. The PM wants to appear that he has Australians concerns at heart but when the public have less than two days to make a submission to a snap inquiry on the legislation, it’s obvious he is not interested in what you have to say. Do I always get it right? No, but I am trying to inform you. Look at what's happened to a councillors in Britain for saying she was 'bron and bred' there. It is up to you to fight back and send in a submission opposing this legislation, or accept it and live with the consequences. Here are some concerns I have with just one section, 80.2BF. ‘Intimidation’, which is not defined in the Bill, and ‘to fear harassment’ are two very low bars that mean almost anything could be made a criminal offence. 'Fear' is a personal expression and we have seen in domestic violence courts that no evidence is needed to prove someone is in fear, so where is the onus of proof here. ‘Hatred’ is also very open to interpretation and vague. So to criticise the immigration program and say migrants from certain countries shouldn't be accepted into Australia will be an offence. Government has recently put tougher requirements on student visas from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan - haven't they just committed an offence based on someone's national origin? Talking about banning the burqa certainly will be an offence. Criticising the immigration program would probably be an offence because that may cause migrants to feel intimidated because of their national origin. Subsection (1)(b)(ii) could make someone saying ‘Australia is the best country in the world’ a criminal subject to 5 years in prison. Will flying the Australian flag be an offence as well? That’s disseminating ideas of superiority (the best) over a group of people based on their national origin (not being Australian). Subsection (3) says for the purposes of subsection 1 it is IMMATERIAL for the offence whether anyone actually felt intimidated or feared harassment, or even whether they were the national or ethnic origin targeted. Subsection (4) means - quoting from the religious texts of Islam that call for violence on other people would be exempted from the offence. So some of the worst calls to violence would still go unpunished. These powers are huge and could be weaponised against everyday Australians. Do you trust politicians with this power? I don’t.

Remember: The terrorist got into Australia. The terrorist got a visa. The terrorist got a gun licence. The terrorist committed mass murder. And your punishment is that you can no longer protest. Makes sense.

Hey @AlboMP Don't forget your words: We’re living in a democracy, here. People have a right to speak up. People have a right to be heard. People have a right to disagree. And any so-called Labor MP trying to change that isn’t a leader – he’s dangerous.

Never before have more people in 🇦🇺 called for the resignation of a Prime Minister. Albanese has to go.

Australia is under communist rule. It’s as simple as that.

@TruthFairy131 The govt hates you (and I).

The Australian Flag Always out of view. Labor hate our flag, our people & our country but they do love our money 💰

🇦🇺 BOB KATTER: “They allowed these people into our country. They allowed them to bring with them their hatred and wars. They allowed them to freely burn our flag and make anti-Australian and antisemitic statements. They encouraged them to live in radical ethnic enclaves in our major cities. They provided them with welfare, offering no encouragement for work. The pro-Palestinian radicals have no interest in becoming Australian. They are fanatical. They bring their own wars and hatred to our shores and have commitment to ensure we become like them. The federal government must immediately implement a strict unapologetic policy of "NO MIGRATION WITHOUT ASSIMILATION". The people coming into this country through the migration floodgates must be asked: 'Do you come from countries with rule of law? Do you come from countries with democracy? Do you come from countries with Judea-Christian values? Do you come from countries with industrial awards?'. For the Middle Eastern, North African crowd, the answer is no, no, no, no.” #Bondi

@matt_barrie Hang on a second Greens senators husband lobbies for Rio Tinto?

@KatyKray73 “….Sets my salary and the salary of politicians” they’re not spending their money, they’re spending the tax payers

This is exactly why we call them “champagne socialists.” These politicians are utterly shameless. Wells couldn’t care less that taxpayers were billed $1,000 for a luxury car to wait idly while she watched tennis for seven hours…Not to mention all the other expenses we footed the bill for! To them, we’re just peasants. The “cost-of-living crisis” clearly doesn’t apply to ministers living high on the public dime. Disgusting, the whole lot of them!! 😡

@matt_barrie @AmandaRishworth The irony of being an elected member to represent your constituents and disabling the fastest way to get constituent feedback.

How many paid for by the taxpayer?

Australia's energy policy Coal - got heaps, won't use it Gas - got heaps, export it, no wait, buy back for more Uranium - really got heaps, banned Thorium - ditto, banned Shale Oil - texas got rich, we got regulations Oil - from Russia with love❤️4 realz @DoombergT writes itself

You will get a lot of spin from the Government today about carbon emissions. Here are the facts: - In 2005, Australia emitted 598 million tonnes of carbon. - By 2022, Australia emitted 442mt, a 26% reduction or a 1.8 per cent reduction per year. - By March 2025, Australia emitted 440mt. There was NO decrease in carbon emissions in the Albanese Government's first term. - The Government now promises to cut emissions to at least 227mt by 2035 (a 62% cut from 2005), in just 10 years time. That would be a reduction rate of 6% per year. - So to reach its 2035 targets, we would need to reduce carbon emissions at a rate more than 3 TIMES faster than we have so far. - The only way this could be achieved is through the massive shutdown of major industries. Thousands of jobs would be lost.

@Sarah_Haar_ Or some of us just understand why the murder of somebody engaging in civil debate at a university is dangerous - and its celebration despicable.

Like Kingsman's mind-controlled chaos, the media's post-COVID narrative spin has killed common sense—ignoring the brutal stabbing of a Ukrainian girl last week.

WEBINAR RECORDING "The understanding is growing around the size of the prize and its significance, it falls at a time when these resources are desperately needed in the market. I'm really excited about how much good this can do for Australia, Queensland are really encouraging us and we can see a clear pathway. This is in the right spot at the right time, it's got the right characteristics and I see a national requirement to get this underway as quickly as possible and that's what we're endeavouring to do." $OMA MD and CEO Trevor Brown hosted a webinar today to discuss this mornings ASX announcement regarding reservoir modelling and DFIT results confirming the commercial potential of Canyon Sandstone. 📹 Watch the full webinar recording: loom.ly/oP7PQSo 📎 Read the ASX announcement: loom.ly/phDNJLU $OMA.ax

Seems to be a pretty easy way to slice the NDIS bill 70% of new NDIS recipients are supposedly autistic I hear you get cheap babysitting through it
