𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐏𝐌 𝐀𝐋𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐊 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐁𝐘 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐒 Anthony Albanese was asked about Elon Musk mocking him for “𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩.” His response was a masterclass in authoritarian doublespeak. “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘨𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦.” He accused Musk of “𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨.” He insisted Musk has “𝘢 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺” and that other social media companies “𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵.” Then came the tell: “𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘌𝘭𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵.” Let’s be clear about what’s actually happening. Australia experienced violent attacks by Muslims, and the government’s priority isn’t addressing the violence — it’s 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. Albanese doesn’t want Australians seeing what happened on their own streets. And when one platform refuses to comply with state-directed censorship, the Prime Minister calls its owner “𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺.” Notice the framing: Albanese calls it “sowing division.” In his worldview, the 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 of the attack is the problem — not the attack itself. Showing people what happened is “distressing.” Hiding it is “common sense.” Every authoritarian in history has used this exact logic — the truth is destabilizing, therefore the truth must be managed. He even said it himself: “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘸. 𝘐𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.” Translation: comply voluntarily, or we’ll make you. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦 “𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧” 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 “𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞” — 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Slovak MEP Milan Mazurek in the European Parliament: "We constantly hear in this room how Black lives matter, how Jewish lives matter, how Palestinian lives matter and I completely agree with you. I have no problem with you saying that. But I will say something that many of you will have a problem with, and I will say it loudly and openly: White Lives Matter! Because right now, White people are the most hated group in the whole world, everything is allowed against White people, you can openly spread hatred and racism against White people. You can openly call for violence against White people and nobody will ban you from social media networks, nobody will prosecute you or put you in jail for that. But if you say 'White Lives Matter,' they will try to destroy you. And that's why I consider it very important to repeat that for you as a White man, as a Christian father of the family: White Lives Matter."

The Albanese Government hid a provision in a Superannuation bill which gave charity status to a lobby group, Equality Australia. For those who don't know, Equality Australia is an LGBTQI+ organisation committed to destroying religious freedom in Australia. For many years, Equality Australia has waged a campaign against Christian Schools Australia, as well as almost 2,800 other faith-based schools. Their method is to target exemptions under the Sex Discrimination Act and similar state laws. These laws permit schools to fire, demote, or refuse to hire teachers based on sexual orientation or gender identity, or to expel or deny enrollment to students on those grounds, as being contrary to their religious teachings — although they only target certain religious groups. Equality Australia does not mention Islamic schools or madrasas on their website. They have taken Christian schools to court, yet never Islamic schools, despite both religions treating these issues the same way. It's this double standard that defines Equality Australia as a lobby group, not a charity — and a gutless, dishonest one at that. Equality Australia was refused charity status by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, then the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, and finally the full Federal Court, because they are a lobby group, not a charity. The Government has legislated this approval because they are desperate to keep the transgender industry going to secure votes in crucial city electorates, which they are defending from the Greens. I ask suburban, regional, and rural voters to reject the Government’s perverse agenda and vote One Nation to end the transgender madness and the Queer mafia attacks on Christianity.

Sam Harris sits quietly as Bill Maher calls out the NYT for pushing readers toward an opinion on the “Iran War.” “The second day of the war… The New York Times’ headline was ‘US troops die.’ That was what they led with.” “But then, in a country where I’ve read 80 to 90% of the people are thrilled that the Ayatollah is gone, what picture did they put? Picture of people mourning the Ayatollah…” “I can’t believe that somebody at the desk didn’t get, ‘I’ve got a great picture of people dancing in the streets.’ Yeah, we’re gonna go with the 10% who are sorry the Ayatollah is dead because that’s gonna funnel the thought of our readers toward, ‘Oh, this is a bad war to get into.’” “That, to me, is the difference in what the media does now and what they didn’t used to do. You’re funneling me toward an opinion, whereas I would love it if you just told me what happened.” After a couple of low-energy “yeahs,” Harris conceded: “The boundary between activism and journalism has clearly broken down.”

🚨 TOURIST CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE TRIES TO BUY FLIP FLOPS IN SRI LANKA A tourist walked into a small shop in Sri Lanka thinking he was just buying a pair of flip flops. First they had him place his foot on a sizing board to match the exact outline. Then he spun a wheel to pick the style, chose the sole, and selected the straps. Next thing he knows… they’re building the entire pair right there in front of him. Custom sandals made in minutes while he watches. Now the video is going viral because people didn’t even know stores like this existed. Would you buy flip flops made right in front of you?

Australia’s fuel stocks are running on empty. As motorists face down 60c a litre price spikes, the Liberal and Labor obsession with Net-Zero means all but two refineries have closed in Australia. With 25 days of diesel, 26 days of petrol, and 20 days of jet fuel, we are more vulnerable than ever. A country that can’t fuel itself will end up with food shortages, hospitals going dark and the nation grinding to a halt. That’s why One Nation proposed an inquiry into fuel security and refining - which Labor and Greens teamed up to vote down. Refineries closed down under both Liberal and Labor. Only One Nation has been calling out fuel security for a decade. The government could also provide immediate relief to Australians by cutting the fuel excise tax in half and providing help until we get our refineries back up and running.

Compulsory preferential voting acts as a protection racket for the uniparty. It rewards grubby backroom deals and entrenched party machines. Your vote should belong to you, not political operators. You should not be forced to allocate preferences to parties you despise.

The PM is asking if the Coalition will put One Nation last on their "how-to-vote" cards. I’m asking the PM: Will Labor put the Greens last? Don’t forget: YOU own your preferences, not the parties. Vote #1 One Nation or there will be NO NATION!

A divisive welcome to country was the first thing the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and "Social Cohesion" heard. I'm sorry, wasn't this meant to be about the Radical Islamic Terrorist attack at Bondi? All "Uncle Allan" wanted to talk about was stolen land, tall ships and calling for a "reckoning", assumedly on white people. Worst of all, the Commissioner thanked him for such a "warm and inclusive" welcome. What a joke. Dividing us on race won't help social cohesion. I'm sick of these welcome to country's being played everywhere - before every zoom and teams meeting, every time a plane is landed and on and on. There is only one solution to bring us together. We need to unite under one national flag and say we are all equal and all Australians, regardless of race, colour or creed.
