@angelar68197975 Can you explain why you support Labor's immigration policy that has added roughly 1,300,000 people to the country.?

Gosh. There’s some stupid people out there judging by comments. ON doesn’t have a single policy that will assist young people with affordable homes. Hanson preaches hate… That’s not a policy

Be LL 
You are a 12-year-old boy in foster care in Canada 
You and your brother are placed with lesbian couple Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney in Burlington 
They are in the process of adopting you 
They start hating you 
They starve you until you weigh only 48 pounds 
They force you to wear a soaking wet wetsuit and hockey helmet for hours 
They lock you in the basement room and watch you on cameras 
They ban you from speaking for days 
You vomit constantly and they make you chew it again off the floor 
They mock you in texts: “Shiver, shiver dumb f**k” 
On December 21, 2022 you throw up breakfast and lunch
 They find you unresponsive, soaking wet and covered in vomit 
You die 
Your foster moms are charged with first-degree murder 
They plead not guilty and say the wetsuits were to “protect” you 
Social workers visited and saw nothing wrong 
Your little brother testifies to the torture 
Your trauma doesn’t qualify for justice 
Any foster child in Canada could be the next victim 
Parents live in fear 
The system is doing this on purpose

@Gazman02 @TruthFairy131 So there's umpteen cases, yet you couldn't provide even 1 example in your claim

@TruthFairy131 While this crime is horrific. There has been umpteen cases of severe domestic violence where men have just been given a slap on the wrist only reoffend and in many cases take a woman life. Put this in perspective.

🔥 BREAKING 🔥 Woman sets man on fire then claims victimhood as she now suffers from PTSD because of HER OWN HORRIFIC CRIME. An Australian woman who doused a childhood friend in petrol and set him on fire is appealing her jail sentence on the grounds the judge failed to take into account that she developed PTSD as a result of her OWN evil sadistic crime. Corbie Walpole, 24, has been behind bars since being sentenced in May last year for attacking Jake Loader – because he joked she should stay in the kitchen and make scones instead of drinking with the boys – in Howlong, NSW, in January 2024, and filed a notice of intention to appeal the following month. This is what WOKE entitlement has done to our country. Violent psychopaths claim & most likely truly believe that they are victim & usually that is how they are treated. REAL victims are neglected. We have a generation of entitled narcissist psychopaths claiming victimhood because that is how they were programmed.

@MarkoMatvikov 30 years ago this world have been daming These days the judiciary treats it like a non crime

What a turn of events - it’d be comical if we didn’t desperately need a change of government.

@ZuveleLeschen @ChrisHeHim1 Considering a significant percentage of women can't define what a woman is, they've got bigger fish to fry

@ChrisHeHim1 The real joke is that many of the men who vote for her don't think that women should be in politics.

One woman is killed a week in 🇦🇺 from domestic violence and this magot has not only never condemned that but shockingly blamed women for "making up" allegations. This evil hag is not only owned by fossil fuel but also by the misogynistic patriarchy.

State government raised taxes through councils without consulting them in 2025. Mayors and Councillors complained that it was flawed and forced on them without consultation. There was a review of Mayors and Councillors salaries scheduled for 2029 to come into effect from July 2029. The review and effective date were fast-tracked - resulting in a 20% pay rise effective from July 2026. Put simply, politicians placating council politicians by raising council politicians’ salaries. To be funded by ratepayers during a cost of living crisis - dirty and disgraceful.

@DaveMilbo @TopherField Their trans women are women dogma

@TopherField Which of their views do you believe are most fringe?

Question: Why do you think the Australian Greens can't seem to bust out of the 10-14% range of the vote? Hostile media? Too beuigose? Their candidates? Their messaging? Their Their name? Is Australia just innately pro-war, pro-racism, pro-fossil fuels? The party seems stuck.

@PatrickGormanMP Only Labor can force the highest levels of immigration on the Australian public. Only Labor gaslights us that rents rising 3 to 5 faster then incomes is a small price to pay. Only Labor can lie about hiding construction in the obscene way they have.

Only Labor has stood steadfast against the divisive politics of Hanson, Barnaby Joyce and their growing band of rats and rejects. What is also clear is that only Labor can stop One Nation. Labor puts One Nation last on our how to vote cards. We have been doing so for the entire time they have existed as a political party.

@QuentinDempster @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan The ABC is unrepresentative of the Australian people. You sent understand this because the ABC careers to your political and social views

There it is folks: Pauline Hanson wants to privatise the ABC via the paid subscription model (regional radio excepted). She’s confirmed this with Chris Kenny ‘Sky After Dark’. Does sidekick Barnaby agree? And what about @AngusTaylorMP and ⁦@mattjcan⁩?

@MrLu888 @michaelxpettis If that was true, then why do so many own empty investment properties?

@michaelxpettis I just wonder what is the rate of Chinese savings compared to global average - would not be surprised if it were roughly 21% above global average. Chinese ppl are smart w money. They prefer to invest rather than spend recklessly and remain in hamster wheel forever as result.

The East is Red provides a translation of a very interesting essay by Wang Xiaolu, Deputy Director of the National Economic Research Institute. The problem with the Chinese economy, Wang says (and as I have argued for over a decade), is that China's excessively low consumption (21 percentage points below the global average, he notes) is intrinsic to its growth model. "The problem is not simply a shortfall in aggregate demand, but a deeper imbalance in its composition: investment has been excessive, while consumer demand has remained severely weak." The two are not separate conditions but are rather different sides of the same coin: "That imbalance is closely tied to years of expansionary monetary policy and a government-investment-led expansionary fiscal strategy." So far, he notes, Beijing has addressed the problem of excessively weak consumption by pairing it with excessively high investment, in order to maintain high domestic demand (although clearly not by nearly enough to prevent a soaring trade surplus). While this strategy generated sustainable growth in the 1990s and early 2000s, when China was highly underinvested, not only does it no longer generate healthy growth, but it tends to lock in the imbalances. This is because, he argues, the two are not functionally equivalent when it comes to sustainable economic growth: "One obvious defect in Keynesian theory is its assumption that consumer demand and investment demand are in a fully substitutable relationship. According to this theory, if saving is too high and household consumption too weak, policymakers can offset the gap by loosening monetary policy to spur investment, or by having the state invest directly. This logic implies that even wasteful public works—endlessly digging holes only to fill them in again—can generate growth, so long as money is spent." That's not quite what Keynes said, I would argue, because he was mostly talking about the need to create jobs, however useless, in times of high unemployment mainly as a way of reigniting the demand needed to justify productive investment, but I agree with Wang that this isn't the problem China currently faces. At any rate in China today this approach has serious limitations, Wang argues: "In reality, however, any such effect is at best short-lived. Policies that boost investment may raise demand in the near term, but over the medium to long run, they further expand production capacity and increase supply, thereby worsening the structural imbalance between excess supply and weak demand." Those who have in the past agreed with my views on Chinese overinvestment will find themselves in especially strong agreement with Wang when he writes that increasing government investment in order to balance the imbaility to increase consumption quickly enough just deepens the structural imbalances. "Government investment, of course, can be directed mainly toward infrastructure rather than productive capacity" he writes. "When such spending creates genuinely useful infrastructure and relieves bottlenecks in transport, communications, and related areas, it can generate positive spillovers, support growth, and raise returns across the wider economy." "But when infrastructure investment becomes excessive or duplicative, it too turns into low-yield or ineffective spending, consuming resources without generating commensurate returns and becoming little different from overcapacity. If continued, it will inevitably depress economy-wide returns, steadily erode the efficiency of resource allocation, and leave growth weaker. At the same time, high investment spends national income that might otherwise have gone to households, further suppressing consumer demand and deepening its inability to drive growth." For ten years or more Beijing has been trying to cut excess capacity, but it hasn't been able to do do. The reason, accoroding to Wang, "is that earlier efforts relied mainly on administrative measures to cut capacity in a few sectors, while leaving the underlying drivers of overcapacity largely intact—excessive investment, excessive monetary expansion, and excessive government borrowing. To address the structural imbalance at its root, those deeper institutional and systemic causes must be changed first." I of course agree that Wang is absolutely right to argue that resolving excess capacity in the worst-hit industries is useless if excess investment is simply shifted to other sectors with less excess capacity – in property, manufacturing and infrastructure. But while we agree, I think nonetheless that Wang may underestimate how difficult it will be to shift "national income that might otherwise have gone to households" without undermining China's manufacturing competitiveness. He is very clear, however, about the need to implement such a shift. I could go on to quote a lot more, but I think it is much better to read the essay. I know that over the years a number of prominent Chinese economists have made comments that are similar to those Wang makes in this essay, although mostly only in private conversations, but it seems that over the past 2-3 years this has started to become a consensus view – at least among economists, if not yet policymakers. Zichen Wang and his team should be thanked once again for their great work in bringing internal Chinese economic discussions to a wider public. @ZichenWanghere eastisread.com/p/wang-xiaolu-…

Second-Class Citizens in Their Own Country: Supreme Court Hearing will Prioritise Migrants Over Irish Families The Irish Supreme Court opened hearings yesterday in a pivotal case brought by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) concerning 2,807 single male international protection applicants left without state accommodation between late 2023 and mid-2024. The undisputed facts are stark. Ireland's asylum system collapsed under pressure as applications hit 18,651 in 2024. The International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) ran out of beds and prioritised families, children and vulnerable individuals. Single men received a weekly stipend of €113.80 and were often directed to charities or left to sleep rough on Dublin streets. The High Court ruled in August 2024 that this breached human dignity under the EU Charter and Reception Conditions Directive. The Court of Appeal overturned that in July 2025, citing the unprecedented scale of arrivals. Now the Supreme Court must decide.A victory for IHREC would go far beyond those 2,807 men. It would effectively create a legal expectation of immediate housing for anyone claiming asylum upon arrival. Precedent is building: last month the High Court ordered the State to pay €9,500 and €6,000 to two test-case applicants left homeless in 2023, with around 50 similar claims pending. Meanwhile, Irish citizens bear the cost. The State spent a record €1.2 billion on asylum accommodation in 2025, up 19% on the previous year, despite a 29% drop in new applications to 13,160. That equates to €3.29 million per day, housing over 33,000 people while native families struggle in emergency hostels or cars. Young Irish people face skyrocketing rents and vanishing hopes of home ownership in a supply-strapped market supercharged by net migration. Many claims come from countries with low protection grant rates. The 1951 Refugee Convention was never meant for mass economic migration, yet NGOs, activist lawyers and sections of the media have distorted the legal framework to treat any enforcement of controls as cruelty. The result is a system where the State faces lawsuits for failing to provide infinite resources, while taxpayers foot the bill. If the Supreme Court sides with IHREC, expect surging damages claims, costs potentially climbing further, and a clear signal that Ireland's safety net has no limits. Children born today will inherit a country where natives become second-class citizens in their own land with housing market, services stretched thinner, and the social fabric in tatters. This mess is largely self-inflicted. Successive governments chased open-door optics instead of firm borders, rapid processing, safe-country returns and citizens-first policies. They deferred to unelected bodies while ignoring repeated warnings. The poster’s warning rings true, voters repeatedly chose representatives unwilling to confront the pressure groups reshaping Irish law. A Supreme Court ruling against the State won’t end Ireland overnight, but it will accelerate the slide toward a nation of second class citizenship, where the people who built it, pay the taxes and obey the rules get pushed to the back of the queue for a basic roof over their heads in favor for foreign nationals with zero ties to the country, culture or it's history. Politicians must push to reform the system root and branch, or watch the continued destruction of the country and it's people.

@JEChalmers Your obscene invitation policies have caused the to rise at 3 to 5 times incomes, do sister me your faux policy virtue

One year ago today Angus Taylor said he opposed Labor's tax cuts for 14 million workers, and Australians would be $50 a week worse off if the Liberals had their way.

@strangerous10 @MichaelWestBiz The Greens want higher levels of immigration than Albo has forced onto us. The Greens spend all their time on protesting for non Australians. The Greens demanded a vice for aboriginals, but are then the biggest supporters of brining in new colonists.

David Shoebridge says we should be making decisions based on our national interest. “Not on the national interest of the United States, not on the national interest of Israel…”💥 Are The Greens the only party putting Australia first? #Iran

@MarkoMatvikov I'm old enough to remember when grape, especially of children, was treated as the most serious crime.

I don't know I'm more sick or angry at this story: Sentenced in 1988 for rape Released after 9 years in 1996 Arrested again in 1998 for rape First NDIS plan approved in April 2024 (while in prison) Released in June 2024 with strict bail conditions Arrested again 11 days later for accessing extreme porn Second NDIS plan for 220k/year approved in June 2025 Granted special access to hardcore porn while in prison How is this even possible?!

The reality is diversity is our strength now requires stripping away more and more freedoms for the sake of social cohesion. I'm sick of being told that Albo's obscene immigration policies had had no impact on the rental or housing markets, no impact on wages, no impact on youth unemployment.

‘Diversity is our strength’ ‘They want to turn back the clock’ ‘You’re just racist’ These are all deflections from an honest debate about immigration - which impacts on housing, services, infrastructure, energy, inflation, productivity, culture and much more. Those who refuse to engage on the level of impacts know that their policies - or those they support - aren’t contributing to positive outcomes. So when they use these terms as a deflection - they’re admitting they’ve lost the debate.

SA Election Analysis: Huge Win for One Nation But NOT For the Right Right wing voters have sent a crippling message to the @LiberalAus but left wing voters haven’t moved an inch despite the country’s mounting woes and mismanagement by Labor governments. There’s been just a tiny leak from Labor to the Greens, but only further to the left — likely on the back of the Greens new positioning as the main Islamic party. It’s a great night for @OneNationAus further cementing its emergent position as the new lead Australian political party on the right. Congrats to all involved especially @PaulineHansonOz @corybernardi @Barnaby_Joyce But there’s little for the right to celebrate when even the atrocious governance of the left in this country doesn’t deliver a better shift from the left than — ZERO. Pundits will say “but it’s a state thing”. No. It’s an Australia-is-too-culturally-left thing. And it won’t change until we wake up on the right and do a much better job of communicating and selling our philosophy and values than we do now. We suck at it. And we have sadly just proven it again tonight. @ellymelly @SpectatorOz @SkyNewsAust @TopherField @LibertariansAus

🚨 Labour’s Grooming Gang Inquiry Has Been Deliberately Delayed Until After The Next Election 🚨 I took the time to read through the latest details of this so called national inquiry properly, not headlines, not spin, the actual substance, and here is the reality. On 8 January 2025, the Government rejected calls for a new national grooming gang inquiry, arguing the focus should instead be on implementing previous recommendations. Then on 14 June 2025, Keir Starmer stood there and announced a National Grooming Gang Inquiry. Six months later, on 9 December 2025, Anne Longfield was appointed to lead it. And now, months on from that announcement, this is where we actually are. The Terms of Reference are still not finalised. Still being drafted. Still being negotiated. Anne Longfield herself has admitted the draft is not strong enough and not detailed enough, and she did not even write it. If the person leading the inquiry is telling you it is weak, then it is weak. Even now the wording around one of the most critical issues, ethnicity, race and religion, only says the inquiry “should” look at it. Not will. Not must. That is not a technicality, that is a loophole. It means it can still be watered down. This is being sold as a national inquiry, yet only a single digit number of areas will actually receive full local investigations. The rest of the country, dozens of affected towns and thousands of victims, will be pushed into a general call for evidence. That is not full exposure, that is containment. There is currently no advisory panel in place. The previous one has been disbanded. The legal team is still being hired. This is not a system ready to deliver justice, it is a system still being built behind closed doors. They have also made it clear the Terms of Reference will define what the inquiry does, and only after that will survivors be brought in to shape how it is done. That is completely backwards. Victims should be shaping the scope, not just the process. We are told there will be no no go zones, but there is no explanation of how that is enforced, who decides it, or what happens when it is challenged. Without that, it is just words. And here is the part they do not want you focusing on. The inquiry will start in April 2026, run for three years, and the final report will not be published until after the next General Election. That is not a coincidence. That is a political decision. Labour has structured this so the consequences land after the public have already voted. That is not about justice, that is about control. This inquiry has potential, but right now it is too slow, too limited, too vague, and far too politically convenient to deliver the accountability victims deserve. I am not interested in what they promise. I am interested in what they deliver. Right now, this is not good enough!

@BenGrahamUK Stuff like this should have publicly accessible invoices for the total project costs. I suspect govt regulations caused much of the cost inflation

This rainbow junction in Hounslow cost £48,174 of public money. Some will say it promotes inclusion. Others will question the cost. Where do you stand?

@recusant_raja Jess Phillips had acted despicably. She has shown a total lack of empathy for the victims. After the reception her victory speech received by her constituents, she'll be replaced with an islamist at the next election.

I'm drafting a series of profiles on the politicians involved in the Pakistani rape gang cover up. I thought I'd start with Jess Phillips. Jess Phillips Jess Phillips became MP for Birmingham Yardley in 2015. That same year, West Midlands Police had a confidential profile sitting in a file identifying 700 children at risk of sexual exploitation in her city. She did not just hold a Birmingham seat. In opposition she held the shadow safeguarding brief. When Labour won the election she was appointed Safeguarding Minister on day one. The portfolio she had spent years preparing for in opposition became hers in government the moment the votes were counted. She was the shadow minister for the exact problem she was doing nothing about. In Parliament she said she would be lying if she denied that over the years, girls had told her police were part of not just the cover-up but the perpetration of abuse in Birmingham. Read that again. The Minister for Safeguarding Girls. A Birmingham MP since 2015. Shadow minister for safeguarding throughout the years of opposition. Victims coming to her with allegations of police involvement in rape gang abuse across her own city. When Labour took power she did not call a national inquiry. She tried to help bury one. After being exposed for blocking a public inquiry in Oldham, she offered councils a £5 million fund to investigate themselves. The same councils that had presided over the abuse. Marking their own homework. She was forced into a U-turn in June 2025 and a statutory inquiry was announced. Within weeks survivors on the panel began resigning. They said the scope was being quietly widened away from grooming gangs and toward general child sexual abuse. Phillips told Parliament their claims were categorically untrue. Evidence then emerged that they were telling the truth. Five survivors made her resignation a condition of their return to the panel. Both prospective chairs withdrew. The inquiry she had spent a decade in position to lead was described by a survivor as feeling like a cover-up, scripted and predetermined. The girls who came to her as victims did not get a decade to prepare. They did not get a U-turn when the pressure mounted. They got told their accounts were untrue by the woman whose job title said she was there to protect them. Perhaps @jessphillips would like to comment on the accuracy of the draft? Let me know if you want anything else added. _________ I’m Raja Miah MBE. For seven years, I led a campaign that exposed how senior Labour politicians helped protect Pakistani rape gangs.
