In this 8 minute video, @DFA_Analyst and I explore the plummeting share of the major party vote, where financially stressed Aussies are voting 1 and some of the quantifiable reasons behind the rise of One Nation. youtu.be/oLCYLBzn8O0

@AvidCommentator @grok Would any proposed changes to negative gearing and cgt on future purchases of existing property affect the industry that promotes investment scheme businesses in house investments in Australia.?

I realized I could present the Australian home completion per capita data in a much more approachable way. This is what Aussie home completions would look like if we had the per capita build rates of these countries vs our actual performance.

Watch this Channel 9 footage of what happened in Blacktown on Saturday. Hundreds of cars snaking down Flushcombe Road. Families pulling in with near-empty tanks. Mums, dads, tradies, pensioners — all just trying to get through another week. And for one day, petrol wasn’t $1.80 or $2 a litre… it was 78 cents. I took $10,000 of the electoral funding the AEC gave me and put it straight behind the bar at Blacktown Metro. Every cent went back to the people who paid it in the first place. No middlemen. No photo ops for the major parties. Just real relief for the people of McMahon who are getting absolutely smashed by this ‘cost-of-everything’ disaster. I was there from start to finish. I filled tanks, I pushed Craig’s car up the hill when he ran out of fuel waiting in the queue, I listened to story after story from people who are doing it tough. One bloke told me he’s been skipping meals so his kids can eat. A young mum said filling the car used to be her biggest weekly stress — yesterday, it wasn’t. That’s what giving the money back looks like. Meanwhile, Anthony Albanese is out there claiming Labor has been “focused every day on helping with the cost of living.” Chris Bowen, who’s supposed to represent this seat, dug up a 12-month-old photo trying to pretend he cares about Blacktown. Mate, if you cared, you would’ve done something before families were choosing between fuel and food. This is the same government that’s given us 25%+ electricity price hikes and fuel prices that have jumped 24% in a year. They lecture us about the “transition” while ordinary Australians pay the price. Seats like McMahon — outer suburban, working people, the backbone of this country — cop it the worst. And the major parties treat us like we don’t exist until election time. I’m not a career politician. I’m a businessman who’s sick of watching Australia get run into the ground. That’s why I’m stepping up as an Independent voice for McMahon. I took the full $32,000 AEC funding I was entitled to and I’m giving every dollar straight back to the community — $10k on fuel yesterday, and the rest through proper community grants that local groups can actually use. Because this money isn’t mine. It’s yours. Fuel should be 78 cents a litre every single day, not just for one Saturday when a private citizen decides to do something about it. We used to make our own fuel. We used to have cheap, reliable energy. We used to have a country that worked for the people who built it. If you’ve had enough of the spin, enough of the cost-of-everything going up, enough of politicians who promise but never deliver — what do you think needs to happen next? Would you rather see more direct action like this or just keep waiting for the majors to fix it? What’s one thing the government could do tomorrow that would actually help families? Drop your own stories from the weekend (or any week) in the comments — I read every single one. And if you believe it’s time to fix Australia, hit repost and spread the word. We can do better. We must do better. I just want Australia back.

Was this the plan all along?

@AlboMP @takaichi_sanae Don't listen to him Takaichi

Welcome to Australia, @takaichi_sanae 🇦🇺🇯🇵 Australia and Japan are strengthening our partnership to build more resilient economies in the face of this global energy crisis. That means more trade and economic opportunity for Australians. Because working together, we are stronger than ever.

Australia’s landscape is changing. Net migration is running at near record levels. Under the Albanese Government - it has more than doubled. Listen to the details HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧

The scale of @SpaceX Starship is just so insane. In this video it's especially visible:

@GreenTyler27 Below are actual ABS numbers. I may be stupid but I cannot see how importing an average of 1088 people every single day, while increasing the shortage of homes by 138 every single day, is a cure for anything. And they've still got 2 more years of destruction to go.

@AvidCommentator @BikoKonstantin1 What the Chinese say about Australia

How is having a median house price below $1m, "grim"? h/t @BikoKonstantin1

@AlboMP Like this?

One year since the election, we've been focused every day on helping with the cost of living.

@IfindRetards He wins the award

Tony Burke has declared immigration, particularly from India, is the “solution, not the problem” for the housing crisis in Australia. How can he acknowledge there is a housing shortage and say he is fixing it my importing an unsustainable amount of people? Absolute retard.

Flywing has developed the X-WING, a compact VTOL FPV aircraft that combines vertical takeoff with fast fixed-wing flight. It can take off vertically, hover, and switch to forward flight with a single command for smooth and stable performance. With long flight time and a foldable design, it blends the advantages of both drones and airplanes.

@grok For a fictional novel, describe the removal of the high immigration Albanese Australian government, faced with a significant backlash against the government, doubles down on the migration numbers, passing harsh laws to combat dissent, and what sort of rebellion arises in response.

Tony Burke claims "we can’t build the houses we need without more immigration." This is nonsense. You could reduce migration to 0 in net terms tomorrow and we would be far better off in terms of net housing supply balance. Its basic maths and data on migrant employment.

Australia’s current migration wave is equivalent to the entire number of people who moved to Australia in its first century of existence. 1788-1901: 1.5 million migrants 2022-present: At least 1.4 million migrants

No receipts. No hassle.

No less than 👇four Ministers, including the PM, pat themselves on the back👇 for begging for a half a day's diesel and 5 days of avgas. It's remarkable how the consequences of absolute policy failure are dressed up as success. 🤦‍♂️#auspol minister.infrastructure.gov.au/c-king/media-r…

@craigkellyAFEE @nascentjude

I was in the city picking up a book from Abbey's Bookshop in York Street, and I took this photo of the magnificent Queen Victoria Building. It was constructed between 1893 and 1898 — back when the entire population of Sydney was around 400,000. It took more than a century from the First Fleet in 1788 for Sydney’s population to reach 400,000. Yet Albanese, with his unprecedented mass migration program, imports more people than that in a single year.
