Government says anonymous accounts are dangerous for citizens, but wants power to operate its own. They say they need it for research and investigations, but they also want the ability to generate content. In less than a year, we’ve gone from ‘we need to stop kids from doomscrolling on Instagram’ to this.

THE GOVERNMENT PUBLISHED THE RORT ON ITS OWN WEBSITE There's a page on the Department of Home Affairs site about a program called Supporting Multicultural Communities. Anyone can read it. Here is what it says, word for word. The Australian Government is investing up to $171.3 million over 3 years from 2025-26. This is in line with the 2025 election commitments. The program will be delivered through multiple closed non-competitive and one-off ad hoc grant rounds. Read that again. Closed. Non-competitive. You cannot apply unless the government invites you. And one-off ad hoc, which under the Commonwealth's own grant rules is the category usually decided by a minister. What the page does not say, anywhere, is how an organisation gets onto that invitation list. Now put it next to what I wrote a fortnight ago. The Major and Local Community Infrastructure Program was $560.9 million. Invitation-only. Non-competitive. Election commitments. More than 220 organisations invited. The department's own page says only organisations identified by the Australian Government will be invited, and when Parliament asked who did the identifying, the answer was that they had been identified by government. Where it went: 73.2 per cent, $409.1 million, to divisions notionally held by Labor. 22.6 per cent to Coalition divisions. Forty-five electoral divisions received nothing. Two departments. Two programs. Same year. Same mechanism. Three quarters of a billion dollars between them, handed to people who were asked, by a process nobody outside the building can see. The steelman is genuine and I'll put it properly. Election commitments are made publicly during a campaign, voters know what was promised, and a targeted round is simpler than an open competition for money already promised to a named organisation. The 2024 grant rules expressly permit closed, non-competitive programs. And this department runs open rounds too. Its Infrastructure for Multicultural Communities program puts $41.6 million through published guidelines and two application batches anyone eligible can enter. So this isn't a department that only does closed rounds. It's a department that does closed rounds for election commitments. And those same grant rules say better practice for a closed non-competitive process is to either name the eligible applicants or publish how eligibility was determined. Neither happened here. Fine. Then publish the list of who was invited, and why. Because right now the answer to how three quarters of a billion dollars was allocated is that somebody decided, and you're not allowed to know who or on what basis. Cold Hard Facts. Corrected when wrong. No misinformation. What's your thoughts…?

Let’s just be completely honest with ourselves here Australians. If we can’t trust a member of Parliament in her misappropriation of spending our money when it comes to travel and entertainment of her and her husband around the country, how can we be expected to trust this person who will be in charge of censoring our speech on the Internet and social media. The truth is, we can’t trust her nor can we trust the current government of which she part of.

The Prime Minister accepted the Atlantic Council 'global citizen award' alongside others at a swanky champagne-dinner. The Global Citizen Award is given for "the accomplishments of key global citizens seeking to improve the state of the world". Can you name one improvement where Albanese has "improved the world"?   This is a VANITY award. Albanese used his acceptance speech to spread panic about the 'collapse' of the 'post-1945 world order' - and then returned to his table with former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. No one put it better than the Nightly's journalist Latika M Bourke who asked Albanese if he feels 'like a bit of a fraud' for accepting an award like this.

"A new $60 million Australian aid package." So $60 million dollars is going to Ukraine whilst Australians can't afford rent and many are now living in their cars on the side of the road. Worst Prime Minister we've ever had by far.

Here is @AlboMP literally admitting that censoring children is only the first step before he wants to censor all Australians who don’t agree with him. Total retard.

What an absolute disgrace! Albanese just signed a 10-year pact with Zelenskyy at the UN and another $60 million for Ukraine going toward energy, protective equipment, and humanitarian aid. Total now $1.9 billion. More money for the globalists while our own people struggle with the cost of living. Australia has been described as the largest single-country importer of oil products refined from Russian crude. Don’t tell Zelensky.

The person who should have been sacked (at bare minimum) when caught fraudulently taking taxpayer money, will be the person to police what information the taxpayer is allowed to know. Australia heading to North Korean levels of crazy.

🚨 TRUMP just put Labor’s censorship push ON NOTICE. Washington is warning Labor’s ‘online safety’ laws risk censoring political speech. Think about that. Trump is defending Australians’ free speech from our own government. 👇 rebelnews.com/washington_war…

BREAKING: “The Labor Government” has “gifted” more than $8B AUD in Aussie tax money directly to the UN & UN associated “programs”. Nearly $4B of our tax dollars to “Climate Funding”… Q. If Labor can “afford” to give away $8 Billion, why are we 🇦🇺’s paying so much tax?

Most of Australia's ''skilled migrant'' program is made up of the family members and dependants of ''skilled migrants.'' Keep in mind occupations the Australian government classes as skilled include: - Yoga Instructor, 452317 - Dog Handler or Trainer, 361111 - Beauty Therapist, 451111 - Hairdresser, 391111 - Travel Consultant, 451612 - Content Creator (Marketing), 225114 - Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, 252214 - Retail Manager (General), 142111 - Cook, 351411 - Goat Farmer, 121315

The best part of this is that I didn't even know that international students were allowed to sponsor visas for their family members while studying. From the reaction on Instagram it seems like it was a huge industry. Australia was obviously just selling pathways to citizenship.

Pauline Hanson ran a fish and chip shop. That is more real business experience than the entire Labor front bench, State and Federal, put together. Think about who is writing your business rules.

And you wonder why productivity is falling You’re punishing everyone

Australian PM is bragging about rug pulling first home buyers lol

Facts

We must stop this stuff, it bleeds into every decision they make. Absolutely no regard for honest taxpayers hard earned money.

Marrickville Golf Club grant - the facts, not the spin. A $6.05 million federal grant, went to the golf club in Anthony Albanese’s own Grayndler electorate. It was announced as a 2025 election commitment, delivered through an invite only $560m program that sent 73% of funds to Labor held or Labor target seats. Albanese has held a formal membership at the club since 2012. It was never declared on his register of interests. He says he “didn’t know” it existed and hasn’t been in the clubhouse “for many years.” That can now be revealed to be a lie. He has spent years frequenting the Marrickville Golf Club and its clubhouse. Back in 2019, while campaigning to save Marrickville Golf Club from having part of the course converted to parkland, Albanese said: "I declare an interest." "I live Beauchamp Street, and I have been coming here for decades and using this club” Albanese said at the time. The official project scope from day one, included a full clubhouse renovation, community meeting and function rooms for Labor Party events, outdoor areas, better pedestrian and bike access, plus stormwater harvesting. When the story broke, Albanese repeatedly framed the $6m as “fixing the sewerage.” That can now be revealed to be another lie. A separate $269,500 NSW taxpayer grant was specifically used to connect the clubhouse to the mains sewer because the old septic system was failing and flooding sent sewage toward the Cooks River. Coalition MPs, including Tony Pasin, have asked who selected the projects, why only invited groups could apply, and whether conflict of interest rules were followed. This is a clear case of suspected corruption which needs to be investigated thoroughly by the ICAC. This one’s not going to go away. This is a HUGE deal!

A government that cannot be trusted to tell Australians the truth should not be given more power over what Australians can see and say online. How are Australians supposed to call out Labor’s lies if the government can pressure platforms to silence its critics and restrict free speech? All this talk from Albanese about a digital duty of care and controlling algorithms is just cover for what it really is: a Chinese Communist Party-style internet censorship bill. Australians should call their local MP and tell them this bill stinks.

Will she insist all news outlets fully cover stories of Federal Sports Ministers flying their families on holidays using their public funded expense accounts? My god how did we let people like this in charge of the country? Early election now.
