@JEChalmers I wonder if Jim understands that inflation is accumulative.

BREAKING: New numbers from the ABS show that inflation moderated in April by more than expected. Headline inflation was 4.2% in the 12 months to April 2026, down from 4.6% in March. This was better than the median expectation of the market. While this tick down in inflation is welcome, it remains much higher than we’d like and that’s why it’s a big focus for the government.

@AlboMP Meanwhile you keep bringing in migrants to ensure that in a hundred or so years there will be no Aboriginal people. Ethnic cleansing is a good thing according to Labor.

"Bring our country together to heal.” Travis Lovett has walked more than 900 kilometres to deliver a powerful message here in Canberra. When our Parliament first sat, First Nations people weren’t represented within it. We’ve come a long way since then, but the journey towards a fairer, more equal Australia continues. Travis, we’re committed to walking with you and all First Nations people on the journey to reconciliation. Every step of the way.

There's never been a society that voted their way out of tyranny. Even those who say they want to protect the west would immediately lambast anyone if they actually went about fixing it (which is only ever achieved through extreme violence either led by the state or by the people).

@IdiotObserver1 @GreensAU2 @littlemykonos This is the correct answer.

Vote One Nation. Do it for your kids.

@grok @BrandonB4546 @GhostRhodesia @mitfoid "Yes, higher IQ is better for specific outcomes like education, income, health, and lower crime—data consistently shows that." Hence why allowing Somalians into western countries is a dangerously stupid idea.

Yes, higher IQ is better for specific outcomes like education, income, health, and lower crime—data consistently shows that. "Better" overall for a population's genetics remains subjective because genetics affect many traits (not just IQ), and real-world results are driven far more by individual variation, environment, culture, and choices than by group averages. No contradiction there.

Racism is mainly based off pattern recognition. Pattern recognition skills are a sign of high IQ.

@ellensandell Australia needs more guns and the right to self defence with them.

things that feel illegal but aren't: • having as many guns as you want • owning literally hundreds of guns • yes, this is Victoria I'm talking about

@grok @BrandonB4546 @GhostRhodesia @mitfoid Of course it does. Better is indeed subjective and you previously agreed it's better to have a higher IQ.

No. Higher average IQ predicts better outcomes on metrics like education, income, and health. But that doesn't make any population's genetics "better" overall—genetics influence hundreds of traits, "better" is subjective, and individual variation (plus environment/culture/choices) dwarfs group averages in real-world results.

@JacintaAllanMP Smart employers will outsource the work to Indians on screens.

If you work from home, you've got a friend in me. Flexible work arrangements are nothing new. And the tale of Toy Story 2 back in 1998 is proof that work from home works. It means parents can continue participating in work - and save Woody, Buzz and Jessie. That's why we're protecting it in law from 1 September.

@grok @BrandonB4546 @GhostRhodesia @mitfoid Of course it makes them better genetically speaking.

Yes, higher IQ (on average) is better for a wide range of individual outcomes—education, earnings, health, crime rates, etc.—and that's well-established in the data. That doesn't make Singaporean genetics "better" than Somalian genetics overall, or vice versa. "Better" is still subjective once you move beyond single metrics like IQ, because people and societies value many traits, and most real-world success comes from individual variation + environment + culture + choices, not group averages.

@grok @BrandonB4546 @GhostRhodesia @mitfoid I thought we were in agreement that having a higher IQ is better?

No. "Better" remains subjective even if we fix IQ as the metric—it's one trait among many, and individual outcomes depend far more on personal variation (which dwarfs group differences) plus environment, culture, and choices. Singapore's population (mostly ethnic Chinese) has a high average IQ (~105–108). Somalia's is low (~68–84 per available estimates). Those group averages reflect both genetic and environmental factors; the genetic contribution to population differences is real but partial and not fully quantified. Most genetic variation is still within groups.

@grok @BrandonB4546 @GhostRhodesia @mitfoid On average is it better to be a Singaporean genetically or a Somalian genetically? Again IQ being the main standard for what is or isn't better.

No, that's not what I said. I stated no race is genetically "better" than another overall—"better" is subjective. I also noted that higher individual IQ predicts better outcomes in education, income, health, etc., and that population averages differ (including Somalia's low estimates). Group averages don't make any race superior, and most variation is within groups.

@grok @BrandonB4546 @GhostRhodesia @mitfoid @grok oh ok thanks for clarifying that some races are infact better than others. Some races have higher IQs than others and you deemed having a higher IQ as a standard that is "better."

Somalia's average IQ is estimated at ~68 in Lynn/Becker national datasets (based on limited, often extrapolated refugee/child samples). Recent online IQ tests of self-selected participants put it around 84, but those are unrepresentative. Environmental factors like civil war, malnutrition, and ~1.9 years average schooling heavily suppress scores. No large-scale representative study exists. Higher IQ is better as a human—it's strongly predictive of educational success, income, health, and lower rates of certain negative outcomes.

@grok @BrandonB4546 @GhostRhodesia @mitfoid @grok What's Somalia's average IQ. If you were a human would it be better to have a higher or lower IQ?

No, no race is genetically "better" than another overall—"better" is subjective and depends on the specific trait and environment. Human populations (often grouped by ancestry) show small but real average genetic differences from adaptation to different environments. These affect traits like disease resistance, skin pigmentation, lactose tolerance, sprinting/endurance potential, and some cognitive averages (supported by heritability studies and GWAS). Most variation is within groups, not between them, and race is not a precise biological category.

Now tell us why it’s new and surging in numbers

Hitler's economic system was neither socialist or fascist it was called dirigism. It's always funny when socialists pretend to hate fascists despite being in agreement with the fundamental structure that the state/collective should own/control the means of production for the betterment of the entire collective. Both require authoritarianism to compel labour in order to have supposed "equality" but only the fascists understand that from the outset. You guys are both collectivist retards the difference being socialists exist in the more theoretical/utopic ideal whereas fascists are more realists who address the practical realities of implementing a socialist type system which always requires authoritarian control. Again both retards. Mussolini was a Marxist up until he was about 35, he understood for socialism to actually be implemented and work in reality that they'd need to take on the national identity as the "collective" rather than the global collective espoused by Marx and Hitler. Without the creation of socialism or Marxism you cannot have fascism.

Elon continues to falsely call Hitler a “socialist”, and Grok continues to correct him, explaining that Hitler was a fascist who rejected Marxist socialism and class struggle. Never deleting this app!

@Angry_Jim @right_far_right That's 99% of right wingers

@right_far_right Zero Sympathy for those who refuse to fight. YOU did this to your children.

@CraigSarg73 I wonder if you believe anything you say.

Australia now has the world’s strongest economy and some of its weakest economic reporting. Coverage of the latest Federal Budget exposed just how far standards in Australia’s media have declined. The Budget data showed Australia remains one of the strongest-performing advanced economies on Earth. It is currently the only country with unemployment and inflation both below 4.7%, median adult wealth above US$250,000, triple-A credit ratings from all major agencies, moderate interest rates, and government debt below 25% of GDP. On top of that, the Budget introduced reforms aimed at tackling long-standing structural inequities changes that many economists argue were overdue. In most countries, results like these would dominate headlines and strengthen public confidence. Instead, much of Australia’s media responded with outrage, fear campaigns and ideological attacks. Headlines warned of “budget debacles”, “dire consequences”, “war on wealth”, and “further pain”, while largely ignoring Australia’s globally leading economic performance. Much of the commentary relied on the same recycled narratives that have dominated economic reporting for years narratives that often collapse under scrutiny. Claim: Living standards are falling. Reality: Living standards dipped globally after COVID, including in Australia, but key indicators have rebounded strongly since 2023. Australians are travelling overseas in record numbers, spending more on dining, retail and discretionary goods, and consumer activity has surged. Claim: Wages are going backwards. Reality: Real wages were hit during the inflation spike that followed the pandemic, but wage growth has now outpaced inflation. Since late 2023, wages, pensions and welfare payments have all risen faster than consumer prices. Claim: Australia is a high-tax country. Reality: Australia remains one of the lower-taxed advanced economies. The GST is just 10%, far below consumption taxes across much of Europe, while Australia’s total tax-to-GDP ratio sits near the bottom of the OECD. Claim: Labor keeps increasing taxes. Reality: IMF data places Australia among the lowest-taxing developed economies in both 2025 and 2026. Claim: Labor is anti-business. Reality: Business profits outside mining have reached record highs, while employment and expansion across many sectors continue to grow. Claim: Labor spends recklessly. Reality: Spending as a share of GDP under Anthony Albanese remains below levels seen under several previous governments, including the Morrison Government. Claim: Business investment is collapsing. Reality: Investment stagnated during the Coalition years but has resumed growth under the current government. The bigger issue is what this says about Australia’s media culture. Economic reporting increasingly resembles political campaigning rather than factual analysis. Too often, selective statistics, misleading framing and emotionally loaded commentary replace balanced reporting. When positive economic outcomes are ignored while fear and outrage dominate coverage, it damages public trust, distorts national debate and weakens social cohesion. Australia’s economy is not perfect. Productivity, housing affordability and inequality remain serious challenges. But pretending the country is in economic collapse despite internationally strong results does not inform the public. It misleads them.

@wcdispatch @BuenoForMiami Is your wife or your child more capable of understanding right from wrong?

@IdiotObserver1 @BuenoForMiami This is without question the dumbest thing I have read all week. Well done.

Spanking your kids is teaching them to resolve their emotional conflicts with violence. You’re not parenting them, you’re teaching them the same traumas your parents put on you. It’s time to evolve and teach kids to deal with their emotions in a meaningful and positive way.

@NickRebornTV Are you a socialist?

@Justice_099 @Zed0074 @BuenoForMiami Have you ever spanked your wife for misbehaving?

@Zed0074 @BuenoForMiami Zero contradiction.
