Can someone please explain, in very simple language, how growing almonds in a Californian desert, draining the local aquifer until the ground subsides, spraying the entire crop with fungicides because almonds can't survive without them, killing off the commercial bee population in the process, then refrigerating the harvest and shipping it six thousand miles to Britain is environmentally friendly,
but buying a piece of beef from a farmer twelve miles down the road, whose cattle eat the grass that grows in the rain that falls on the hills that have been there since before anyone had opinions about this,
is a planetary emergency?
Asking for the cow.

I have literally never once heard a single person use the term “lutruwita” to describe Tasmania.
This is the first time I’m encountering this term in my life.
27 years old, born and raised in Australia, lived here my whole life. Never ONCE heard a single person use “lutruwita”
Larissa Waters@larissawaters
A warm welcome to Vanessa Bleyer who has been elected by Tasmanian Greens members as our newest Senator for lutruwita/Tasmania. Vanessa will join our team later this year when Senator Peter Whish-Wilson steps down after more than a decade in parliament.

@larissawaters Maybe you should learn to read Larissa, too many are scamming the NDIS. You should direct your anger to them

Australians are being crushed from every angle right now.
Anthony Albanese is talking about how hard it is to cancel subscriptions.
Subscriptions.
While people are dealing with real pressure every single day.
• Cost of living is pushing households to the edge
• Businesses are struggling to stay viable
• Infrastructure is falling behind
• Hospitals and schools are stretched
• Global instability is impacting fuel, supply chains and food
And this is what’s getting airtime?
Let’s talk about the real pressure Australians are carrying.
Taxes and costs coming from every direction:
• Income tax
• GST on almost everything
• Fuel excise
• Stamp duty on property
• Land tax
• Council rates
• Capital gains tax
• Payroll tax (flowing through to prices and jobs)
• Superannuation obligations
• Insurance costs loaded with levies and fees
And while households and small businesses carry the load…
Australia is one of the most resource-rich countries in the world:
• Iron ore
• Coal
• Natural gas
• Lithium
• Gold
• Agricultural production
Yet time and time again:
• Assets are sold
• Contracts are locked in
• Profits flow offshore
• And Australians buy back their own resources at higher prices
At the same time:
• Essential services feel underfunded
• Infrastructure projects blow out in cost and time
• Accountability is weak
• Waste goes unchecked
So people are left asking…
Where is the money actually going?
Because from the outside, it feels like:
• More pressure on everyday Australians
• More ways to hit the back pocket
• Less visibility on outcomes
This is not the country I grew up in.
The government is not managing the country effectively.
Spending is not being controlled.
Accountability is missing.
And instead of fixing the foundation…
We’re talking about subscriptions.
This is actually embarrassing!
Where is the governor general? They really need to step in and to be honest this should not be a one person position. They should be a whole high level board of directors have this power. We need to get rid of this two party preferred system for voting and allow people to genuinely vote for who they really want. Allow independence to have a real go and shot and running to be able to run this country
The world is a critical levels. We don’t need politicians. Who’ve never run a business to run the country.
We need real leaders with real world business experience. How to run projects, budget and control costs with real accountability. We need a business person who will come in analyse the state of the country and take back control. Bring back all of our resources, infrastructure and operate for the people.
 It’s time, Australia needs a complete reset of bringing everything back home. It’s time to support the actual country and the people who live here and stop flowing our rich resources and funds offshore. We need look after Australian’s in our own backyard first.

Australia was the greatest place on earth 60's 70's 80's 90's.
Inexpensive,uncrowded,
self-sufficient, low price housing.
Politicians have destroyed it.
Now you are fed diversity is our strength .
No one wants to live in the past.
By Albanese, a former Communist party member.
Anyone who lived in those times will tell you how great this country was.

A Brisbane of 1 million people in 1980 would have been beautiful: An average house price of $32,750, limited traffic and a supermajority of Anglo Australians.
Now in 2026, 2.8 million now are crammed into the city limits and 4.1 million now live in the South East, which makes driving around utterly awful due to the vast congestion. The median house price is $1,170,000 and rapidly growing - a ridiculous figure for everyday Australians in SE QLD.

“RULES FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME.“
The Federal and State Government holds corporate Australia to the highest standards of accountability. Miss a target and your share price drops. Cook the books and you go to jail. Fail your customers and you lose your job.
But who holds the government to the same standard? No one.
Because in politics there are no consequences, this must change.
Government compliance with Senate orders for documents has fallen from 92% to 33%. Australia’s corruption perception score has dropped 8 points since 2012. Former ministerial staffers are setting up lobbying firms within months of leaving office through loopholes in rules they helped write.
If we ran a business the way this country is governed, we’d be shut down.
It’s time for the same rules to apply to the people who make the rules. Ministers should face the same personal accountability as company directors. Every portfolio should have published KPIs measured against outcomes not announcements.
Every program over $100 million should have an independent cost-benefit analysis before it’s approved. Every dollar should be tracked and published so ordinary Australians can see where their money goes and if a program fails, the person responsible should answer for it the same way a CEO would.
Same standards. Same consequences. No exceptions.
What’s your thoughts…?

@RoadknightThe Auditing abo spending, NDIS, petrol companies..when will it end?
English

Why we need an audit into Aboriginal spending No.2:
The Aboriginal population of Australia is around 812,000 people.
Nearly 100 countries have a GDP of $34bn/yr or less.
Some have populations of 20-40m people.
How are Aboriginal people living in poverty?
How can we spend $34bn/yr, greater than 100 countries' entire GDP, and have the abject poverty that we have, especially in remote areas? Where the hell is the money going?

Australian Gov’t Redacts Every Single Word of 78-Page Report on Covid Vaccine Batch Tests:
tga.gov.au/sites/default/…
Nothing says transparency quite like 78 fully blacked out pages.
That pesky bad batch data ...
reflects very badly on good manufacturing practices I would suspect.
@BarryYoungNZ and @LizGunnNZ and myself raised serious concerns about batch safety based on his data ....and the authorities went apeshit. ( A law fare attack on Barry and massive clean-up operation )

Australian politician Cory Bernardi destroys "bleeding heart lefty" reporter on mass immigration. 🔥
"We want the best and brightest to come here, rather than just the teeming hordes of people who come here for welfare."
"You can characterise that as racist. That's nonsensical."
"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."

BP service station owner in Sydney:
-petrol tanker response times for an order to a delivery have blown out from 24 hrs to 6 days.
-Tanker orders only accepted if a fuel type has already run out.
-There is no fuel hoarding any longer, fuel tanks are full, and kept full, sub $60 top ups.
-Sales volumes are now back to what they used to be pre-crisis.
⚠️This is no longer a demand issue.
Service stations in Sydney are now suffering from a lack of supply.

We were chatting with a real estate agent the other day… and this one stuck with us 👇
He said he knows at least 10 retired couples around the Sunshine Coast doing the same thing:
Buying apartments off the plan 🏗️ → flipping before completion 🔁
Or moving in 🏡 → selling again within 6–12 months 💰
And here’s the kicker…
They don’t need the money.
They’ve already made it 💸
But they’re still playing the game 🎯
💭 So it raises a question…
Why keep going when you’re retired? Why not just enjoy your life?
Would you keep buying and selling if you didn’t have to? 👇
