On average, young Aussies want 2-2.5 kids.
So our birth rate hasn’t collapsed because we stopped wanting kids.
It’s that we’ve made housing as the foundation for building a family an impossible luxury.
We need our governments to start treating our declining birth rate as a national priority.

@MarkoMatvikov You could’ve been having 2.5 kids, staying home to help your wife. Everything comes back to women having to make the sacrifices & societal structures aren’t changing to help them. We’re not trying to reverse the falling TFR in any meaningful way. Politicians care about themselves

@davejay_sa My uni course could definitely have been condensed in half - I learned more in my first 6 months of full time work as I did in the 4 years of my course.

@GreenTyler27 We used to hate fucking whingers. Now everyone is so soft, all they do is complain. It gets worse though: there are some who want to divide Australia. Blaming migrants for all your problems doesn’t fix any of them. Billionaires don’t have to worry & we know whose side you’re on.

@MarkoMatvikov In other words, women have rights & choices these days. Fig. 4 outlines the problem. Peak fertility is exactly when women might go to uni. Then they’d build a career. How can society enable women to still do that by shifting uni & career to the right by 10 years? Not easy.

There are many factors - the pill, more women in the workforce, travel is cheaper, studies are longer, etc. - but I think housing is a primary factor.
I think the childcare system is broken because the subsidies just flow to the bottom line - I’d rather the government directly ran childcare centres as optional and universal, or a payment to families to stay home or have family care for kids instead of childcare. We need more choice.

@DrNeilStone Covidiots won’t believe any such report though. If it’s not written by an anti-vaxxer then it can’t be true.

@BaronBurleigh2 @AlboMP Trump whacked tariffs on our aluminium you fucking moron. You’re celebrating the success of US businesses at our expense despite there being a free trade agreement. So many whinging, soft as fuck, anti-Australian weasels out there. I can’t believe it.

@sydney_ev A bit like how things started with petrol until infrastructure caught up. Probably wasn’t due to active sabotage by the govt of the day though.

@RestoreAussies Your fake outrage will be raised to a new level when you see where Melbourne is ranked in 2025. What other aspect of Australia will you knock then, patriot? I never thought Aussies would become so soft. image.b.economist.com/lib/fe8d13727c…

Melbourne used to be the wealthiest city in the planet near the turn of the 20th century. It has won many plaudits for being the most liveable city on earth.
The self induced decline imposed by the Labor government down there, from 2019 is quite remarkable. Not only is the state completely bankrupt, but it is now largely lawless.
What a fall off.

@DrewPavlou Fuck you’re good at maths. Nice work solving that for us. How many kids do you plan to have and who would even have them with you? See the problem?

@KatyKray73 All you do is bitch. Life must suck here for you. Why not go back to Russia and try to divide people there? That’s all you’re trying to achieve. Australians aren’t typically fucking whingers although plenty are becoming soft.

Prime Minister Albanese says it will take ‘at least’ 90 days for Australia to see renewed oil supplies and lower fuel prices after the Strait of Hormuz reopens.
Prices at the pump spiked immediately when the strait was blocked, but relief takes three months?
Time to secure better long term fuel security! Time to rid ourselves of this idiotic government! 👇🏽🥾💥

Australian politician Cory Bernardi doesn't hold back in his response to a "bleeding heart lefty" reporter on the topic of mass immigration. 🔥
"We want the best and brightest to come here, rather than just the teeming hordes of people who come here for welfare."
"The people of Australia are waking up to the fact that mass immigration has not worked to our economic, our social or our cultural advantage. That's crystal clear to people."
"It's only the lefties, the bleeding heart lefties—who don't want any talk about immigration—that refer to this sort of stuff as racist."
"But I presume you're a bleeding heart lefty."

@youtubeTeamJG @JimThom90458694 Because Aussies (if they even are) are soft as fuck, whinging shit stirrers who have become useful idiots for someone else’s agenda

@JimThom90458694 This isn’t a RE issue, it’s a transformer issue.
Why is this 6 month old story doing the rounds again??
English

Australia’s biggest “super battery” project — the $1 billion Waratah Super Battery in NSW — has suffered a catastrophic failure, putting the state’s renewable energy transition in disarray.
One of the three massive transformers has failed, while a second has been taken offline for testing and might also need replacing. The battery, built by BlackRock’s Akaysha Energy, was supposed to be fully operational by the end of this year — but now experts say that’s been pushed back by at least a year.
Energy researcher Aidan Morrison says the battery was a key part of keeping the grid stable as coal power stations like Eraring are retired — but the timeline is now “in disarray”.
The NSW Government has already had to extend Eraring’s life to 2027 to avoid blackouts.
Energy analyst Tony Wood says the failure shows how difficult and expensive the renewables transition is turning out to be:
“It’s not easy and it’s not cheap — but stopping the transition isn’t an option.”
The Waratah battery was meant to deliver 850 MW of power — enough for nearly a million homes — and smooth out renewable energy supply across Sydney, Wollongong, and Newcastle.
Now, it won’t be fully online until 2026 at the earliest.
Experts warn the failure highlights the fragility of Australia’s renewable rollout — and how far we still have to go before coal can truly be switched off.

@TruthFairy131 Such a patriotic Aussie, promoting Russian propaganda. You’re an embarrassment and a useful idiot.
English

Australia was once well respected on the global stage but Labor has now made Australia the laughing stock of the world.
Our PM is such an embarrassment to all Australians.
Russian state media mocked Anthony Albanese’s announcement this week that the government had secured 100 million litres of diesel, which in reality will barely last one day.
“Saving Australia one day at a time” 🤡
