    Labor backflips AGAIN quietly watering down their own “stealth” super tax after industry revolt. Jim Chalmers has quietly scrambled to fix yet another disaster from his heavily criticised May budget, backing down on a stealth superannuation tax that threatened $378 billion in assets. After fierce backlash from the entire super industry, Labor has completely “changed their position” on the complex "loss ordering" rules. If they hadn't U-turned, it would have slugged millions of Australians with a $55 million annual tax hit, costing everyday investors up to $500 more for every $10,000 of affected capital gains. But true to form, the “fix” leaves a massive sting in the tail. While single investor trusts can now disregard the rules, funds co invested alongside non super entities are left stranded in limbo. Their fate rests entirely on broad ministerial discretion, creating “additional complexity” and ongoing uncertainty for retirement savings through layers of legislative instruments. First it was the death tax and widow's tax rollbacks, now this. Labor cannot be trusted with your money. They cook up stealth taxes in secret, spark industry wide panic, and then write sloppy, high discretion exemptions on the fly when they get caught out. Standard operating procedure for a government that treats your retirement fund like their personal ATM.

    Losing an election is not grounds for asylum. Yet the Trump Administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States. In Brazil, he is under investigation for alleged corruption, money laundering and currency evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports. The Trump Administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law.

    Coal can be gasified (or directly liquefied with hydrogen under pressure/heat) to produce syngas (CO + H₂) or intermediate products, then converted via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into liquid hydrocarbons that can be refined into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and chemicals. It is a mature technology used at commercial scale for decades (e.g., Sasol since the apartheid-era oil embargoes; ongoing Chinese projects). $45-$75 a barrel. We have billions of tonnes of coal.

    RT @payneerynn: Anthony Albanese admitted in Question Time today that he was wrong about the $6.05 million his government promised Marrickville Golf Club, in his own Sydney seat of Grayndler. Opposition frontbencher Dan Tehan pressed him, and the Prime Minister said: "I have said that was not correct. It was not correct." Asked again, he said: "Yes, Mr Speaker, it was not correct to say that the federal grant would deal with the sewer row." He added that he had not known the NSW Government was already funding the sewage fix. Labor then voted down a Coalition motion to make him explain. Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie says he misled parliament and must correct the record. The admission was about a claim he made to the House in September, that the grant would fix septic tanks leaking raw sewage into the Cooks River in floods. At Senate estimates last night, Infrastructure Department official Jacinta McDonald said: "The sewerage works are not in the scope of this grant." The money is going on a clubhouse refurbishment, a stormwater system, a botanical garden and an electrical upgrade. NSW is paying for the sewage fix separately with a $270,000 grant. Mr Albanese held an undisclosed honorary membership of the club.

    RT @Ryandally08: BREAKING: A Congolese serial rapist who raped his own 13 year old daughter has been allowed to stay in Australia because deportation might “hurt his mental health” This is what “community safety first” looks like under Tony Burke. Known only as JKWL, the refugee raised two daughters in Brisbane, then committed escalating sexual offences against his eldest once she hit puberty, including raping her in the living room while she did her maths homework. Court of Appeal records confirm it. He got eight years for three counts of rape and one of indecent treatment. JKWL is not an outlier. The Australian reports he is among 124 rapists, pedophiles, drug lords and other serious criminals allowed to remain under Labor’s Direction 110 since the start of 2026. Other examples under Burke’s direction: • A New Zealander (YJJN) who masturbated in front of his six and ten year old cousins and possessed material involving 1,300 children kept his visa. Home Affairs prioritised his “psychological interests.” • Rapist Francois Malho, 130 offences, including attempted rape at knifepoint, stays because deportation might “traumatise his elderly mother” and he doesn’t speak Portuguese. • Liberian meth importer Sehwhy Nipoe, 15 years for nearly $900k of meth, stays because of “bonds with his children.” • A South Sudanese baseball bat assaulter who left a victim with catastrophic brain damage. A Mob ambush stabbing killer. Multibillion dollar heroin dealer and ice kingpin. All allowed to stay. More than $250 million Australian taxpayer dollars have already been spent on the NZYQ cohort on top of the $2.5 billion Nauru deal, $70 million a year ongoing. Tony Burke has completely failed his most sacred duty: keeping Australians safe. He has put the feelings, the comfort, and the psychiatric interests of monsters ahead of innocent Australian citizens. How much longer must Australians bear the terrifying consequences of Labor's broken borders? Burke needs to answer for this betrayal IMMEDIATELY.

    RT @DavidDim_ocracy: 😡Strap in, this one is metal. Quote "The Albanese government is standing by a taxpayer-funded website that tells pedophiles to not beat yourself up for having sexual fantasies about minors." Taxpayer-funded Stop It Now! Australia is a government-backed prevention program that frames sexual attraction to children primarily as something to manage (with techniques like self-acceptance, distraction, and coping strategies) rather than something to eliminate. The linked modules say: • Treat child fantasies “like a wave” that will pass, go for a walk, do a puzzle, journal, cook. • Don’t try to change the attraction. That could be “akin to gay conversion therapy” • If you’re only into kids, “focus your attention exclusively on the physical sensations” while masturbating. • “Don’t beat yourself up, it simply does not feel realistic to never have sexual fantasies about children” • Show “compassion and self acceptance.” Having a sexual interest in kids can feel “lonely” If you are like me and have genuine concern about the decisions being made by the major party idiots, I will invite you to follow me on X and also become a member of the Australian Peoples Party. Membership is $50 and every dollar will be used to advocate and fix against crap like this and to put Australia First🇦🇺

    I got to a place mentally a year or so back where I needed to self admit to a mental care facility. In Brisbane that was more difficult than I imagined. But I found a place that had a live in program and understood vets. I lasted a week. I was in group therapy with ladies who were catatonic because the male neighbour said hello, and males who thought women looked at them strangely. When I was asked to share my horror I chose to pass. If I explained my issues my fellow patients would be inconsolable. Veterans need much better access to special treatment services.
