Treasury's own modelling reveals the new insane #CGT rules were always about revenue, not fairness: an extra $43bn ripped out of Australians' savings. They should have said so from the start. Don’t lie to us @AlboMP & @JEChalmers #ScrapTheCGTHeist @SkyNewsAust skynews.com.au/australia-news…




Peter is doing great work here. We need all spending listed and accounted for. The people have had enough of this catastrophic, corrupt waste of their hard earned money.




@bellzy5071 I don’t care whether he’s a fucking hippie. You don’t speak to a dog like that. I don’t give a fuck what farmers do, and you’re the fucking foggy ignorant piece of shit

While we face record high national debts and a sharp decline in our standard of living - with hundreds of thousands of young Australians, including families with children, living in tents and relying on community support, other nations are cutting their “foreign aid” (which we all know is often not purely aid). Yet Labor has “made a choice” to increase funding and influence across the region. Over $5.1 billion last year alone! It’s our money, yet Labor “made a choice” to give it away.


🚨- You've never heard of me. Read this anyway — it's your taxpayer money paying for it. I'm a medically retired Australian Army infantry officer — East Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan — assessed as TPI. In 2016 the Queensland Government approved my project to build twelve NDIS high-support homes for thirty-three Queenslanders, incl. 11 with disabilities, on my own land, named in honour of Lance Corporal Jared MacKinney, killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010. The approval came with ONE substantive condition: pay for one extra flashing-light signal at the railway level crossing next door — a crossing owned by Queensland Rail — built to the Australian Standard, and certified by an independent engineer of my choosing to ensure my legal protection that the works were carried out correctly. Here is what the State's own documents now show happened: Queensland Rail knew the signal could never be lawfully certified. Its own officers recorded the crossing as "our HIGHEST risk crossing on the entire network!" It never told me. Instead it rewrote the condition — twice, in 2018 and again in 2023, when it appointed ITSELF the certifier — with no lawful planning process at all. The legal process for changing a development approval simply never happened & I was misled and misdirected by government for the next six years. It made financial demands that have been deconstructed forensically, that had no financial basis in reality, while at the same time promising absolute integrity. For years these increased until it demanded I pay $367,486 — one hundred per cent up front, within 14 days — $196,428 was later discovered to be for things that were never my obligation at all: $90,000 of CCTV, $75,000 of pedestrian gates, $31,428 to renew Queensland Rail's own 1992 wiring. Paying a government-owned corporation for its own infrastructure upgrades the CCC said I never had to pay for, as the price of my own approval. The State's own corruption watchdog agrees. On 10 January 2025 the Crime and Corruption Commission's Deputy Chairperson found the works "would not satisfy the requirements of A1742.7 [the Australian Standard]" and "would be unable to be REPQ certified" — with "elements of maladministration that have resulted in an ineffective DA condition." In plain English: the condition could never be satisfied, and the money was never mine to pay and another condition (with six discussed in secret) should have been imposed. The project is destroyed. Thirty-three Queenslanders never got their homes. The building that stood there was later destroyed by arson — six attacks that the DPP would not prosecute. And on Queensland Rail's website today, I'm still described as the man who "failed or refused to pay." When I proved all this, the State didn't investigate itself — it bought its own exoneration, with your taxes: a report commissioned, two massive law firms and paid for by Queensland Rail with YOUR money, finalised the SAME DAY Queensland Rail's own RTI team led by the same lawyer (also on the record for misleading the Ombudsman) decided which documents I'd be allowed to see under RTI, and a departmental "review" that decided compliance was someone else's problem. Those purchased findings were then quoted back to Ministers — and by Ministers to me — as "the answer." Twelve Ministers of the Crown, across two governments, were advised on over 300 occasions. Seven were misled. Seven were told in writing they'd been misled. Not one called the police. Five in this post — @DavidCrisafulli @JarrodBleijieMP @DebFrecklington @BrentMickelberg @FionaSimpsonMP — are holding holding HUNDREDS of items of correspondence and evidence between them. Every one publicly claims to be a champion for veterans. The Premier IS absurdly the Minister for Veterans — and his office wrote to me: "The Office of the Premier and Minister for Veterans is unable to assist you in relation to this matter." The record they held included lives and livelihoods destroyed — and the death by suicide of a veteran, notified to their offices at the time of that loss. So answer, each of you, on your own record: @DavidCrisafulli — Premier and the minister for Veterans: briefed in opposition on 18 January 2024; "unable to assist" in government; your department, integrity agencies & government shutting down RTI & transparency and funding the cover-up. How has this not been an extortion attempt by government against an individual. The dual treatment of how Queensland Government treats the targets of fraud or extortion when they are outside of government is staggering. @JarrodBleijieMP — Deputy Premier and Planning Minister: your portfolio imposed the condition; your authority for closing my complaint was Queensland Rail's own media statement; your office then declared every internal record of considering it "nonexistent." How has this not been an extortion attempt by government against an individual — and if it hasn't, where are the records proving you ever tested it? @DebFrecklington — Attorney-General and Minister for INTEGRITY: you refused my Public Interest Disclosure about a danger to people with disabilities on a technicality your own letter contradicted. How has this not been an extortion attempt by government against an individual — and why did the integrity portfolio make sure no one would ever examine it? @BrentMickelberg — Transport Minister: your office told me the watchdog had closed the matter when it had actually found maladministration — and your stated source was Queensland Rail itself. How has this not been an extortion attempt by government against an individual — and why is the accused your only source? @FionaSimpsonMP — Shadow Minister for Integrity until the day before you took government: in opposition you planned "points of attack or investigation"; in government you relayed Queensland Rail's account and closed the file. How has this not been an extortion attempt by government against an individual — and what changed on 26 October 2024, other than who the government was? And @BrentMickelberg — one more. You & all five Ministers have refused, despite formal request with the response time long expired, to confirm or clarify statements attributed to you by a journalist about your own war service — statements. I have been unable to substantiate, which sit at odds with your inaugural address to Parliament. A minister held out as a veterans' champion & appointed as a Legatee for Legacy won't answer another veteran's questions about his own service. @SenatorMcGrath @AngusTaylorMP @LiberalAus You can't choose the version of corruption you want to deal with. The documents are with major media now. The country can read them — and watch public money keep flowing as this is the tip of an enormous rail fail iceberg. @LNPQLD @abcnews @60Mins @4corners #AusPol #QLDpol @RSLQueensland @RSL_Australia #IntegrityCrisis @MRobertsQLD
