Here we go again. 🤪🤪 The prime minister has just announced a further $16.4M to the tiny island nation of #Palau for “renewable energy” programs. #That is on top of the $31M of our money that was given to them to build a huge solar power plant plus other monies given. •Palau has a population of only 17,600 people. Smaller than most Australian suburbs. •Since Labor took Gov’t in 2022, they have given Palau $65.6M. •That equals $3,700 per citizen of Palau. #All the while we see the biggest homelessness crisis in Australian history.  Un F*king believable. 🤬

I visited the street where 27 year old Australian man Oliver Conroy was murdered by a pack of teenagers. He thought he was meeting up with women he met online when a gang of teenagers brutally bashed him, tortured him on video, then stole his car and dragged his body behind it for nearly a mile. They dragged him over the road and tore him to shreds before finally running over him. One of the most sickening deaths imaginable. This could have happened to any young bloke in Brisbane. What is happening to this country? Australia is becoming a full third world shithole. Let’s just be honest, we are literally on a trajectory to total collapse. Stagnant wages, collapsing living standards, lawlessness and third world violence. Australia needs a leader who will stand up and absolutely break the back of these scumbags. Bring out the knuckledusters, sweep out all the scum and save our country.

#More than $lm of the $2.4m Brittany Higgins received in her compensation payout from the Albanese government is yet to be located by her appointed trustee in bankruptcy. Ms Higgins was declared bankrupt in December last year after failing to pay any of the more than $Im damages and costs she owes to former Liberal minister Linda Reynolds, who won a defamation case against her former staffer. #The trustee has told Ms Reynolds it appears there is virtually nothing left in the Brittany Higgins Protective Trust, set up to protect the mammoth payout, with just $3000 remaining in the trust's bank arcount as at Fehruary this vear After accounting for Ms Higgins' own legal costs, her living expenses and her purchase of a now-sold house in France, a substantial amount of the taxpayer-funded $2.4m settlement remains yet to be located. #The trustee found that large sums were transferred overseas and to related parties, including her husband David Sharaz and others who have not been identified. Ms Reynolds told The Australian she was shocked that the trustee in bankruptcy had found that complete records for the large amounts transferred had not been produced, despite a legal obligation to do SO. Ms Reynolds said the trustee had told her more investigation would be required to account for further funds from the commonwealth payout and to assess whether the money is recoverable. #Those costs could amount to a further $100,000, which Ms Reynolds - already facing the loss of her home to pay for the legal costs Ms Higgins refuses to pay - cannot afford. "After months of investigations by the bankruptcy trustee. his report raises many more questions than it provides answers." The very name of the Brittany Higgins Protective Trust gave me little faith that Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz would comply with the court orders. “So I was not surprised when *Ms Higgins, *Mr Sharaz and her financial and legal representatives failed to account for nearly half of the $2.4m she received from the Labor government, never mind from the other significant income streams received from their various employments, sponsorships and book deal.” The former defence minister said it appeared the couple had money available at the time of the judgment to pay her, but had chosen not to. *Both Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz have been declared bankrupt, but are now employed. *Ms Higgins, who was awarded $1.48m for loss of future earnings, including because she would be unable to work for at least *40 years, was last week appointed executive director of Vida Fund, a gender equity advocacy group. *Mr Sharaz works at activist group GetUp, which was reportedly involved in Wednesday’s Press Club banner stunt that suggested Pauline Hanson was guilty of hypocrisy for taking a commonwealth-awarded pay rise. Before buying their house in the French countryside in September 2023 to start “a fresh life”, Ms Higgins and her partner David Sharaz embarked on a series of holidays in the Maldives, Geneva, London and Paris. The couple were married in 2024 at the luxury Gold Coast venue The Valley ­Estate.. theaustralian.com.au/nation/…

GetUp launched Aug 2005. Initial funding: $50k from Unions NSW + $100k from Australian Workers' Union. Both unions closely affiliated with Australian Labor Party. Bill Shorten (then AWU nat. sec.) joined early GetUp board.

I dare say this little girl would have had more of a chance of life had she been removed and place into another family and ‘yes’ even a white family! More than a dozen child protection reports centred on Kumanjayi Little Baby since her birth, but none of the six recent reports were investigated, The Australian reported. The Northern Territory's Department of Children and Families received the reports about the five-year-old living in a 'dangerous environment' from mid-March until two days before she disappeared from Old Timers town camp, in Alice Springs. The latest report was in connection to an alleged aggravated assault on the little girl's mother on April 22. Her father was charged and remains in custody. Police responded to two of the reports in March and the other four in April, with sources claiming officers were frustrated by a lack of action by child services. The reports alleged Kumanjayi Little Baby was living in a dangerous environment, had been neglected and was exposed to domestic violence. It's understood three child protection workers have since been stood down, with an independent investigation launched into the reports.

Tony Burke is Australia's Minister for Home Affairs, Immigration and Citizenship. He is responsible for keeping Australians safe, managing who comes into this country and who gets to stay. Here is his record. He owns six investment properties while telling Australians that mass immigration is the solution to the housing crisis. He ran industrial scale citizenship ceremonies in the weeks before the 2025 federal election. His department took over from local councils and staged 25 ceremonies at Sydney Olympic Park swearing in 12,500 new Australian citizens in a matter of days. Twenty one of those 25 ceremonies were held in Labor held or marginal seats. Liverpool Council confirmed 700 citizenship applications were rushed through specifically in the seat of Werriwa. Multiple people familiar with citizenship ceremonies said what Burke did was unprecedented. The local Liberal mayor said they were stacking marginal seats better than Woolworths stacks shelves. Burke denied targeting Labor seats then went on an Indian media podcast and bragged about running mass citizenship ceremonies before the election. On that same podcast he said he wants to give citizenship to all 2.9 million people currently in Australia on temporary visas. He also said immigration is the solution to the housing crisis. This is the man with six investment properties telling you that bringing in more people will fix the housing shortage. When he took over as Home Affairs Minister in July 2024 his predecessor had been cancelling visas of foreign criminals under intense public pressure. Burke cancelled zero visas on character grounds in his first month. Zero. His predecessor had cancelled 77 in about a year. Burke was described as a soft touch who failed to use his powers to protect the community. Then there are the ISIS brides. Australian women who voluntarily left Australia to join Islamic State in Syria were allowed to return. Burke publicly denied the government was involved in facilitating their return. Internal department notes from a June 2025 meeting show his own department recorded that he gave a commitment to find a way to bring more of the cohort back to Australia. He then asked the departmental staff member to leave the room so he could have a frank off the record discussion. The head of the Home Affairs department attended that meeting. A letter from Save the Children included a blacked out list of individuals to be repatriated. The women arrived. Burke still maintains the government played no role. Naveed Akram who carried out the Bondi Beach massacre on December 14 2025 killing 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration grew up in Burke's electorate of Watson in southwest Sydney. He was first investigated by ASIO in 2019 as an associate of Islamic State supporters, assessed and cleared under Burke's own agency's oversight, then travelled to the southern Philippines for weapons training before murdering 15 Australians. Burke says there are things he cannot say publicly due to suppression orders. What he can say is that assessments were made and the threat was not considered high enough. Fifteen people are dead. Hizb ut-Tahrir which Burke himself has described since his first term in parliament as a radicalising organisation causing nothing but harm in the community still operates freely in Australia. Burke says he keeps asking whether they meet the legal threshold for banning. They are still there. And through all of this Burke has publicly stated he has never accepted the word assimilation and does not want migrants to lose who they are. There are currently 77,000 people living in Australia without valid visas on his watch. This is not incompetence. This is a deliberate agenda being run by a man who has been in parliament since 2004, knows exactly what he is doing and answers to a Labor government that has presided over record immigration, record housing unaffordability, record power bills, record debt and a terrorist attack that killed 15 Australians in his own electorate. So here is the question. After reading all of that why would any Australian vote for Labor or the Greens who support every single one of these policies and are doing nothing but helping them destroy the country we grew up in.

This ANZAC DAY will be overshadowed by the reminder that Australia has become rotten to the core under Labor The Roberts-Smith witchhunt puts it on full display for all the world to see. Witness 4 who this case largely relies on, admits he pulled the trigger and murdered someone. So Australian Federal Police investigators ***offered the murderer immunity, in exchange for blaming his actions on war hero Ben Roberts-Smith*** A decorated hero who stormed three Taliban firing stations alone, to protect his platoon Witness four the murderer reportedly also has mental health issues, memory problems and takes five unnamed medications What sort of justice system allows a mentally ill man to transfer his admitted guilt for murder, to a war hero? The world’s woken up to the wreck of a country Australia has become, under the Albanese Regime
Something is very, very wrong when a nation does this to its most decorated soldier.

A Reminder of an Architect Behind The Ben Roberts-Smith tragedy. The Brereton saga was orchestrated from the top. The then-ADF Chief General Angus Campbell (2018–2024) with a blatantly political, virtue-signalling, left-ideological manner must have questions to be answered? From the timing, the wording, the whole affair reeks of a national betrayal while the Defence Department did nothing to support him. The Brereton Enquiry: Began with a "Welcome to Country" - why? Then came the quote that defined the narrative: "The report finds that some Special Air Service Regiment commanders in Australia fostered within the SAS what Justice Brereton terms a self-centred warrior culture, a misplaced focus on prestige, status and power, turning away from the Regiment’s heritage of military excellence fused with the quiet humility of service." What the does "self-centred warrior culture" even mean? Special Forces selection & operations are built on high performance, aggressive mindset, mental toughness, & an unapologetic competitive warrior ethos. These are the qualities required to hunt & defeat hardened insurgents in brutal combat. Labelling these traits as a "misplaced focus on prestige, status & power" is a direct ideological attack on what makes SAS soldiers effective in the first place. "Quiet humility" sounds like a corporate HR seminar platitude, not the reality of small SAS patrols operating with extreme autonomy under relentless stress during repeated high-intensity deployments in Afghanistan. Then the dangerous implication that byframing "self-centred warrior culture" as the root problem, the statement strongly implied that the broader SAS identity & leadership culture either enabled or actively encouraged the alleged crimes. This fed the toxic "bad culture" narrative that was then used to justify sweeping reforms, endless unit reviews, & the initial push for collective punishment — including the attempted revocation of the Meritorious Unit Citation. Many veterans saw this as classic scapegoating: smear the Regiment’s culture to deflect from uncomfortable questions about flawed strategy, restrictive rules of engagement, excessive rotation cycles, command oversight failures, & accountability at much higher levels. Public humiliation by design Campbell didn’t deliver this internally to the military. He chose to read it aloud in a formal national press conference, with the full weight of his office & the national media watching. Why? The emotive, loaded language was broadcast widely, generating predictable headlines about the SAS’s “misguided warrior culture” & “profound betrayal.” If this wasn’t oversight, it was deliberate. It publicly shamed the Regiment, handed propaganda gifts to Australia’s adversaries, & perfectly aligned with the ADF’s longer-term internal agenda of “culture change”, prioritising progressive organisational values over raw combat effectiveness. Sweeping condemnation of the entire Regiment The Brereton Report itself examined specific incidents, individual patrols, & a limited subset of personnel. Yet Campbell presented it as a sweeping indictment of the SAS ethos itself. Elite operators who had served multiple combat tours were effectively painted as arrogant prestige-seekers rather than highly skilled professionals operating in one of the most extreme, high-risk, environments imaginable. ADF Chief General Angus Campbell never faced real backlash for his actions. Campbell's "achievements": Ordering the minimisation of military working dogs — trained to detect weapons, explosives, & patrol hostile areas, around Australia's foreign military bases, or when facing Muslim populations or combatants, all to not offend the enemy. Is it any surprise our defence morale is low, there is a critical drop off in recruitment & our veterans are not supported? Now we jail our most decorated soldier possibly for life? There is something very crook.
