@Bradfield1975 Your farm must not be that modest. Obviously, the home and an area around it are exempt assets. The remainder of your property must be fairly substantial to not meet the asset test.

At the age of 16 I became a high school dropout and entered the workforce… 50 years of continuous work later I am retired on my modest farm, because I own it I’m not entitled to a pension! Albo owns multiple properties and will receive a generous pension! How is that fair?

Israel used their control over Trump and their Jewish money to destroy Massie because he went against their agenda. There is no denying that Trump’s GOP is nothing more than a front for Israel and it has to be destroyed for America First to prevail.

A lot of public sectors world wide are very top heavy with people. For instance, in 1919, at the British Empore territorial peak, there were 50,000 bureaucrats managing over a billion people and governments. Today, although the UK is now responsible for only 75 million, it’s 500,000 bureaucrats in place. Too much government isn’t efficient…

@Ejaculationer @MattH_4America Why was it wrong of me to want a united Republican congressional team ?? Politics is a team sport. If one person goes rougue then it can ultimately destroy everything we worked for. Americas future is too important.

If Thomas Massie loses tonight, there will be no "MAGA" left - it's dead, it's gone It will just be Trump, a golden ballroom, and plenty of Kool-Aid for the boomers to drink while they are watching Sean Hannity or Mark Levin And then in 2026 and 2028, we will get our revenge

@craigkellyAFEE This is all part of the global effort by leftist media to remove power from X. The EU is trying to do the same, even going so far as to set up their own social media app.

Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education
THE ABC IS BREAKING THE LAW — AND THUMBING ITS NOSE AT AUSTRALIANS By deliberately refusing to post on X — where the ABC has 2.6 million followers — and instead pumping out content on BlueSky (where it scrapes together a pathetic 1,000), the ABC is openly flouting its legal obligations under the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983. Section 6(1) of the Act demands the ABC provide “comprehensive broadcasting services.” Hiding from the platform where millions of Australians actually get their news, while posting on an obscure, far-left echo chamber with less than 1/100th of the reach, is not “comprehensive” — it is an arrogant, deliberate betrayal of their statutory duty. Worse still, Section 8(1) requires the Board to ensure the ABC performs its functions "efficiently" and delivers the "maximum benefit to the people of Australia" Creating social media content for either platform takes exactly the same time, effort, and taxpayer resources. Yet the ABC chooses to post it only on the tiny platform with a handful of followers while deliberately boycotting X. This is not mere inefficiency — it is wilful waste and a direct violation of the ABC’s legal obligations. The ABC has chosen to waste taxpayers’ money pandering to a tiny clique of left-wing activists on a failing platform. Even the eSafety Commissioner admitted BlueSky is so insignificant it didn’t warrant inclusion in the under-16 social media ban. Yet the ABC treats this irrelevant vanity project as more important than reaching its actual audience. This is not incompetence. This is ideological sabotage by a captured, contemptuous organisation that holds ordinary Australians in open disdain. The ABC Board and management don’t care about their legal obligations. They are actively thumbing their nose at Parliament, at taxpayers, and at the Australian public — giving us all the middle finger because they know the Albanese government will shield them from any consequences. If the ABC wants to operate like a propaganda outfit, then let it survive on subscribers alone — and post wherever its dwindling clique of followers wants. But while it takes a single cent of public money, it has a legal and moral duty to serve all Australians, not just its ideological masters. The rot inside the ABC has metastasised so deeply that reform is impossible. This latest violation of its legal obligations is just the latest in a long list. It’s well past it’s used by date, and it’s time for the ABC be defunded. No Australian taxpayer should be forced to subsidise this level of blatant malfeasance, bias, and contempt.

Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education@craigkellyAFEE

DEFUND THE ABC NOW The ABC has demonstrated time after time that is not a legitimate news service — it is a taxpayer-funded propaganda machine for leftist ideology. What outrageous, stinking hide does this bloated broadcaster have to thumb its nose at 2.6 million Australians following them on X and instead pour resources into the far-left echo chamber BlueSky, where it has a pathetic 922 followers? Even eSafety Commissioner Karen admitted BlueSky is so irrelevant it should be excluded from the government’s social media ban — citing a mere 50,000 Australian users. X reaches at least 6 million Australians — over 100 times more. Yet this arrogant outfit is deliberately slashing its posts on X to pump out more content on the tiny woke platform BlueSky. If any private company boss pulled this suicidal stunt, they’d be fired on the spot for gross incompetence and fiduciary betrayal. But the ABC doesn’t give a damn. It gleefully wastes hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ hard-earned money playing its petty political games. The ABC hates X because it hates Elon Musk and can’t cope with a platform that doesn’t censor conservative voices. So it spitefully reduces its presence where real Australians actually see it, and flees to an irrelevant leftist safe space where its reach among the very people who pay its bloated wages is 100 times smaller. This is blatant contempt for the Australian public. If it just posted the same on X as it did on BLUESKY, they’d be no objection. But to intentionally reduce posting on X is malfeasance and misfeasance. The ABC deserved to be totally defunded — taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay for this.

@Bertram009 @melanietaylor2 @SimonBanksHB Their build targets are what, 240k homes per year, which we know will fall short. Add population growth to that mix and we're short on supply. And that's not even mentioning the existing rental supply tightening. Time will tell.

@melanietaylor2 @SimonBanksHB From new builds incentivized by the policy. Negative gearing is now restricted to new homes (from July 2027), plus CGT changes and a $2B infrastructure fund to unlock ~65k dwellings. The idea: shift investors from existing stock to new supply, freeing up homes for first buyers.

@SteveMihajlo @TheKouk @cotality_au I think that is overly pessimistic. Prices are more likely to simply decline a very little and grow slower rather than Aussies being affected by negative equity at any scale.

I’m a 23 year old Aussie Bitcoiner. With the way Australia is going, I am hesitant to build my life here… I want to be able to buy a home, have a family, raise my kids without crazy gender politics, give back to my community, and be somewhere where people (at least to some extent) see the world similarly to me. If you were in my position, where would you consider moving?

@RobbieBarwick It is actually means-tested welfare. Your parents paid for their parents, you will pay for your parents, and so on. It is not a contributions-based entitlement. Every generation of workers takes on the burden (not in a bad way) of the previous one.

Message for Angus Taylor: The aged pension is not welfare. Just because the major parties tried to privatise the aged pension through compulsory superannuation - which hasn't worked - it's still a right that reflects the contribution the elderly made to the country.

@rowanfornow We act strongly about it because we’ve been gaslighted constantly. Especially seeing the judge get praised for just looking hotter than Clav, like I don’t get the point, Should we give up and accept genetic determinism? I imagine that’s equally harmful of a message to young men.
