Matthew 7:5 (NIV): "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." - Jesus Christ, the grand master of #whataboutery. Only on Twitter is exposing hypocrisy not a virtue - don't accept it.

Central bank "independence" gave the greatest power over the economy - control of the volume of credit - to unelected bankers. The 1937 Banking Royal Commission concluded that the elected government should have final say, not bankers. Barnaby's idea is anti-democratic & wrong.
Gerard Rennick@RennickGBR

The last thing anyone should do is give more powers to the RBA. 👇 Yet that is exactly what One Nation is proposing. If making the RBA independent was the solution to our problems then why has Australia's economy gone backwards since it was granted full independence in 1996. There are numerous examples where the RBA has recklessly inflated spending such as Covid only to then impose a credit crunch to rein in their own stupidity. Furthermore we do not need to give more powers to unelected officials, especially central bankers. Don't get me wrong, you can't trust politicians when it comes to spending your money either but at least you get to vote them out. As seen in estimates the RBA is heavily influenced by the International Bank of Settlements, the most insidious globalist organisation on the planet. Not to mention the unwillingness of the RBA to repatriate our gold bars from the Bank of England. The idea that One Nation wants to give the RBA more powers goes to show when it comes to economic management, they have no idea as to what they are doing. It also makes a mockery of their claim to be standing up to globalist organisations. This is just another reason to vote for People First. We will control inflation by building infrastructure and cut government waste without the RBA holding our hands. If you want the real solution to our problems sign up today at Peoplefirstparty.au ••••••••• "One Nation treasury spokesman Barnaby Joyce has signalled a radical reshaping of the Reserve Bank of Australia as one of the party’s top priorities, arguing that the institution should have powers to pressure governments to reduce inflation. The government has moved to making a Reserve Bank less independent. I believe it’s got to go in the completely opposite direction – more independent. And I think, in that discussion, the bank must clearly state: this is the target money the government should be putting into the economy."

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil
🚨"This aged very well" In 2014, Mearsheimer debated Chrystia Freeland and Michael McFaul in London, he told both of them that if they continued with their policies that x.com/ivan_8848/stat… Ukraine would be destroyed as a consequence of their actions, to which they laughed.

@Dr_M_Davis Gee, let’s wind the clock back to 27 Feb shall we? What idiots thought this escapade was remotely a good idea? Who cheered it on? Anyone who did who doesn’t own up to this misjudgement should never be allowed near national security. Period.

Former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul claims that Russia knew that the US lied when it threatened to expand NATO into Ukraine. The logic is that NATO did not provoke the war because it should be obvious that Washington lies.

If this happened in some other country, we would laugh at their backwardness. Some in Washington would argue they must be bombed...

Another deliberately failed Labor scheme to get developers to build "affordable" homes; it was like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank and asking them to please share and be nice. Labor state and federal screwing the poor yet again: abc.net.au/news/2026-07-1…

@Brett_Muller I agree. Whatever it does in home loans it should prioritise the areas which the banks have starved of credit, starting with small business loans.

@RobbieBarwick It should do everything thing home loans. They are already over serviced by the market. Small/medium business loans is the missing cog to get the economy moving.

ON is adopting my party's policy of a public bank - to a predictable neoliberal reaction by the bankers' paper. But there are crucial differences: * 5% deposit is no good - we'll return to 20% but help people save * it should do more than home loans afr.com/policy/economy…

Seems like Trump just made a pitch for the Iranian toll system. :) Because the Iranians were going to charge $1mn per ship, which would amount to 1-2% of the value of the cargo of an oil tanker. But Trump is going to charge 20%! :)

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Trump declared the U.S. the "Guardian of the Hormuz Strait" and said ships would be charged 20% on all cargo. Iran's FM Araghchi responded within hours: "POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides safe passage should be compensated. Iran has always been the GUARDIAN. 20% is of course too much. We will be fair." Writer: Oliver

Iran is charging $1 per barrel. At the current Brent price of ~$80/barrel, that is 1.25%. So the US is proposing to charge a fee that is 16x the Iranian fee.

Anyone watching #4Corners should compare the current system of affordable housing to the old public housing model. Eg. SA's Housing Trust built 1/3 of all housing in the state in the 1950s & 60s, rented for less than 20% of income, and was self-funding. It worked, unlike now.
