Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Labor's budget was full of lies but worse Labor gave up economic growth. The real intergenerational equity question is whether we leave a richer nation for our children. We will oppose and, if necessary, repeal Labor's taxes. We will lower taxes and invest in Australia so that living standards rise again. More in @couriermail below.

@StevenJMiles The only place those 93 beds were cut was in your imagination, you fucking imbecile. How the fuck are you the best that labor has to offer.

@StevenJMiles Fuck labor

BREAKING: $60 million of your money spent by the LNP to cut 93 beds at The Prince Charles Hospital. Today, tomorrow - send the LNP a message: stop the cuts. Vote 1 Luke Richmond and Labor

@Slabotage @TruthFairy131 You are part of the problem. Now, get back in ya fucken box!

@TruthFairy131 There needs to be a clear intent to cause harm before a violent response is warranted or else it's murder; you can't injure or kill an intruder to protect your "stuff" obviously. Homeowners being allowed to kill will only lead to better-armed thieves prepared to kill first.

CASTLE LAW NOW 😡 Donnybrook, Melbourne. January 2024. Three masked criminals armed with axes storm into a family home in the dead of night. Inside was a pregnant woman, terrified and pleading for mercy as she was attacked in her own bedroom. Her partner did what any decent man should do - he fought back. And hard. He disarmed one of the invaders and stopped the threat before his family was butchered by this gang of animals, villains who had planned the attack in advance with masks, weapons, and fuel cans. Unbelievably, he was initially charged with murder. How have we sunk this low and this ‘woke’ ? Let this next part be said clearly. The only people responsible for what happened that night were the criminals. They chose violence and terror. They chose to invade a house occupied by innocent people, including a pregnant woman. I have absolute sympathy for the homeowners whose sense of safety will likely never fully recover. They are the victims. As for the intruders injured and killed during this pathetic escapade - spare me the public mourning. Violent home invaders who enter homes armed with axes should fully expect they will be buried. And never allowed to leave. This is not tragedy, it’s consequence. Every Australian has the fundamental right to defend their family and their own life against violent predators. No law-abiding citizen should ever have to face prosecution for refusing to become another helpless victim of armed criminals. - Domenic Strangio.

@TruthFairy131 Absolutely disgraceful!

Hey Jim & Albo, Keep your hands off my business. You weren’t there for the sleepless nights, the stress, the risk, or the moments where everything was on the line. I built this in the dark. You don’t get to show up at the finish line with your hand out. Not one cent. You didn’t build it. You didn’t back it. You’re not entitled to it. Get fucked.

@SeekerandGrok @PaulineHansonOz Put a sock in it. Labor is bringing this country down & must go. You lefties have absolutely fucked the west. Move over, we'll right the ship from here....

@redyk591 @PaulineHansonOz Have you been to the US recently? Have you seen the Blueprint that Hanson and Reinhart are dedicated to? I have, and it is scary as hell! If you haven’t then you are not informed.

Labor’s budget is a national disgrace and Jim Chalmers has zero shame. Labor didn't have the guts to field a candidate in Farrer and has no no clue what everyday Aussies are furious about. Massive deficits, $1 TRILLION in gross debt next year, $77 BILLION in new taxes, inflation heading to 7%… yet they still lecture young people about “helping” them into homes while interest rates climb to 10%? They’re deaf to the anger over immigration, integration and people who refuse to speak our language or accept Australian values. They’re addicted to net-zero handouts and renewable scams while ignoring our own resources. Last night proved exactly why voters have had enough. Here’s the good news: One Nation just delivered a political earthquake. We smashed it in South Australia and won the seat of Farrer, our first ever House of Representatives seat. The protest party myth is dead. One Nation WILL take Australia back for the majority. We WILL put the next generation first. We WILL end the age of reckless spending, open borders and bribing voters. The message from Farrer is loud: Australians want their country back. Welcome to the team, David Farley for Farrer. Let’s get to work

@1Alboforpm What good does it do to have a statue of a communist in your city?

@Lisa9Sophia @RitaPanahi

This is who paved the way for biological girls and women to have their legal protections and rights in Australia, stripped away Her Labor government enacted legislation to erode sex-based legal protections for biological females in Australia NEVER AGAIN do I want to hear Julia Gillard referred to as a “feminist” or a “champion of women’s rights” NEVER AGAIN do I want to hear about her “misogyny speech” Her legacy should be the truth. Julia Gillard can’t define what a woman is, and she sold biological women out #GigglevTickle

In Australia, The high court has just ruled, That this thing, has the same rights as my mum, my sister or any other biological woman in Australia. It’s a national disgrace, And embarrassment for our country. We have let our women down. I’m so bloody angry.

Labor people dont vote for themselves, they choose the country first. #auspol #budget2026 #Australia #news #negativegearing

Labor will sleep well tonight, the Coalition remains no threat to a third Labor term. That was a wooden, dog-whistling, cut'n'paste speech of rehashing old ideas. Meh. No new ideas, not even within cooee of the 21st century. Not an alternative govt. 🐝 #auspol #budgetreply

The hopium crack pipe on one SMS poll is off the charts. Enjoy the hopium boys, you deserve it.

@DrunkAt12 @PaulineHansonOz Oh I agree

@redyk591 @PaulineHansonOz There is a minimum we require from our politicians. I don't think anyone wants Pauline to meet world leaders and say "please explain".

In One Nation's Budget Reply, I outlined our vision of hope for the future. I have so much to say about saving this country that I ran out of time to say all of it. Watch my full budget reply and read a copy of what I wasn't able to fit in below: "We are covering our land with windmills and solar panels and in turn delivering the dearest and most precarious electricity grid our nation has ever had, when we had the cheapest coal fired power and sitting on one of the greatest coal resources in the globe. One Nation does not care about major party sneers. We care about handing our children a better opportunity than was handed to us by our parents, currently it is the other way around. One Nation will reallocate the resources from the fool's errand of Australia changing the weather to invest in coal fired power, nuclear, irrigation, freight, rail, ports and roads. We will work with businesses as partners in these projects. One Nation will listen to civil engineers, nuclear physicists, and research scientists in medicine instead of climate change bureaucrats. These assets on our nations balance sheet allows us to pay for expenses on the Profit and Loss. These assets build a nation that can repay its debts. One Nation is offering a fundamentally different direction -one rooted in proven, common sense economic principles. We'll lower taxes on working families, slash regulation that strangles enterprise, deliver abundant and affordable energy, and back the industries that actually create real wealth and opportunity. We will never pretend we know better than you how to run your own lives. That is why we are determined to hand power back to the Australian people where it belongs. We will reward hard work and aspiration, restore fiscal discipline, and put Australian families and businesses first once again. One Nation's word is our bond - and we have three decades of unwavering policy consistency to prove it. We hope to earn your trust to implement the bold change Australia desperately needs. Thank you."

@SimonBanksHB @AngusTaylorMP Fuck off idiot!

It's hard to think of: * a bigger debt fueled; * interest rate super-charging; * recession-inducing Budget Reply speech Than the one delivered by @angustaylormp tonight He literally wants to break Australia and Australians

In Japan, children clean their own schools. Every day. After lunch. About twenty minutes. Classrooms. Hallways. Toilets. Not because the schools are too poor to hire someone. Because in 1947, this country decided that cleaning your own space is part of becoming a person. The cleaning rag is on the school supply list. Right next to the pencils. Egypt teaches it now. So does Indonesia. So does Mongolia. Think about the last time you watched a seven-year-old mop a floor without complaining. Japan does that in every elementary school in the country. Not as punishment. As education.

@DrunkAt12 @PaulineHansonOz So we just put up with Albo's bullshit because he speaks better?

@redyk591 @PaulineHansonOz My problem is with her lack of basic skills to communicate effectively, not her policies
