"Treasurer Jim Chalmers has declared himself and the government open to tax reform to address intergenerational unfairness driven by the nation’s dysfunctional property market, saying the inability of young people to buy a home is one of Australia’s defining issues." Then stop actively pumping prices mate, its not rocket science. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Javier Milei has been president for less than 26 months in Argentina. Here is the record from economist Chris Lingle: Inflation rate: from 300% to 30% … Poverty rate: from 52% to 31% … Budget Deficit: from 15% to 0% … Public-sector debt: fell from $500 billion to $446 billion & is now 84.65% of GDP, down from 154.6% in 2023 … Country risk: from 3,000 to 487 … Central bank reserves: from $20 billion to $47 billion … ¡Motosierra! ... ¡Motosierra! ...

A statute that imprisons you for calling to deport jihadist extremists — but provides safe harbor if you *are* a jihadist extremist — would be deeply perverse. Let’s hope this isn’t what Australia intends.

Public sector employment grew by 82,000 last year. That is 3.26% growth, double the population growth. That is 82,000 people not mowing lawns, not building fences, not serving customers. They are paid by the taxes of the people doing the real work.

Australians are so poor. We trick ourselves into thinking we’re rich because we have $1.5 million in “property equity”. But the Australian dollar is worthless. And your house isn’t an asset. Just travel to America and you’ll realise how poor we are.

There's massive correlation between those who: 1. Fell for all the COVID lies. 2. Fall for all the climate lies. 3. Now cheers on internet censorship. What's the common denominator of these seemingly unrelated issues? Big bossy government.

"Tax collected to GDP in the UK will hit a record 38 per cent. In Australia, the tax to GDP ratio was 23.7 per cent last financial year". Actually, @FinancialReview ,our equivalent is 36.6% of GDP as per IMF Fiscal monitor (need to include states etc) afr.com/world/europe/budget-…

🚨 ANNOUNCING A HIGH COURT CHALLENGE TO THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE UNDER 16S SOCIAL MEDIA BAN. One month from today (i.e. 10 December 2025) the Commonwealth Government's Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 will come into effect. The E-Safety Commissioner successfully lobbied the government to pass this bill in order to strengthen their oversight of the internet. They crave control of your information sources. The guts of the matter is that to have a social media account in Australia from 10 December you will need to prove to the social media platform you are over 16. That's going to be a hassle for social media users and a huge administrative burden for the social media platforms ... who are being threatened with a $53M daily fine for breeches. Lots of bright young kids who are curious about science or history or whatever ... learn so much from social media. Lots of people choose to have an anonymous social media account. That is entirely understandable for many including employees who want to speak freely online but may fear their boss won't agree with their views. To prove you are over 16 you can upload ID but then the E-Safety Commissioner can track what websites you visit to double check you really are over 16. The government however will make it easier for you ... if you just sign up for Digital ID ... and that is the whole purpose of the legislation. I have just left the Inaugural General Meeting of the Digital Freedom Project (DFP). The DFG's purpose is to: (A) raise public awareness about this East German style intrusion by the state into our private lives. (B) launch a High Court challenge that argues the law is unconstitutional as it is a violation of the long-accepted 'implied constitutional freedom of political communication.' I was elected President of the Digital Freedom Project. To learn more please visit our website - digitalfreedomproject.org.au… Please also consider signing up as a member (no fee required). The legal team advises we will be filing with the High Court imminently. @elonmusk

Renters. Get your Digital ID. For your safety of course.

Labor does this every time. Price of groceries goes up, Labor blames Cole’s and Woolies and say they are price gouging. Labor’s transparency comes into question, Labor redirects transparency towards companies.

What is significant about this is that the country AND Victoria voted against this, and politicians believe they know better. This is a significant point in history, because it’s a blatant denial of the populations vote.

Imagine powering 1 million homes for 60 years… Well, that’s exactly what Rolls Royce’s new Small Modular Reactors could do — with zero emissions. Compact, factory-built, and faster to deploy than traditional plants, they’re redefining clean, reliable power. The question is – will Australia get on board? bit.ly/3JwV6d7 #greenenergy #montinvest

Australia's longest serving foreign minister ever was Alexander Downer. Mr Downer has written in The Australian: Why Javier Milei is today’s most exciting politician 'The most interesting world leader today is President Javier Milei of Argentina. For years Argentina ran what was called the Peronist economic model ... familiar to many Australians because we are increasingly applying it ourselves. It involves ever-increasing government expenditure on welfare, massive budget deficits, the empowerment of a select few trade union leaders, propping up loss-making industries, and increased taxes especially on industrious, creative entrepreneurs who produce goods and services people really want. As always, the results were catastrophic. Then came Javier Milei, a congressman and candidate for the La Libertad Avanza alliance. He promised a radical, economically rational program to restore the country. The public believed he was genuine and full of conviction. They took a punt on him. He promised big cuts to government spending, sweeping deregulation, and the slashing of power from vested interests in unions and large corporate stakeholders. He promised the most fascinating liberal economic experiment the world had seen in a long time. Now, just under two years later, we can see the results. First, Milei reduced government expenditure by roughly 30 per cent in year one Subsidies for energy and transport were phased out; ministries abolished; public service employment reduced; some salary cuts implemented. Argentina is now on track for a budget surplus. Second, the spending cuts drove inflation down from roughly 25 per cent per month in 2023 to just over two per cent by mid-2025. That dramatic drop came as the central bank stopped printing money. The Milei government also wielded what it called the “chainsaw” on regulation—scrapping some 300 rules; liberalising labour laws; simplifying the tax system; privatising state enterprises; liberalising agricultural exports; encouraging extraction of energy and minerals. Those reforms delivered growth of between six and seven per cent this year. Investment surged back, the government can issue bonds again internationally, and living standards are rebounding. Poverty remains high—but it has declined from about 57 per cent at end 2023 to around 40 per cent and continues downward. After dismantling the Peronist economic model, President Milei now enjoys surprisingly strong approval ratings. The lesson: economic liberalism lies at the heart of growth, prosperity and national success. Australia has been well governed over the past century, but we are drifting toward Peronism—state control, union power, endless spending, deficits, public debt. We must heed Milei." @JMilei @AlexanderDowner theaustralian.com.au/world/w…

Housing Minister Chris Bishop says NZ has to decouple its economic growth from house price increases "The economic recovery needed to be driven by broad-based productivity gains & not increases in property prices" interest.co.nz/economy/13421…

A reminder that superannuation contributions increase to 12% from 1st July 2025. This won’t be offset by any tax cuts, so it means less take home pay for millions of working Aussies. It’ll make it that little bit harder for first homebuyers to save up for a deposit and stamp duty. Renters don’t even get the relief of rate cuts - they continue to fall further behind as they’re forced to save to pay off investor loans in retirement.

Time for a new National Conservative Party in Australia made up of the Nats, conservative Libs, One Nation, Libertarians etc. Repost if you agree

Javier Milei | WHEN A POLITICIAN SPEAKS OF BIGGER STATE, HE SPEAKS OF STEALING FROM YOU "There's this heinous, deplorable notion: 'the present State'. Whenever a politician tells you that he wants a bigger State, what he's actually saying is that he will reach into your pocket and steal from you. (...) I believe that the logical thing is for them to work, not to live off of other people's work." Source: @ArgMilei

What I have just gone through this morning with CBA is disgusting. Absolute despicable, Orwelian stuff. Driven by Austrac. austrac.gov.au/ Just out of the blue, the bank sent me the enclosed email and demanded to know: 1) How I have built up my wealth? 2) Why have I made cash withdrawals? 3) If I am holding cash at home, why? 4) Why did I make certain transactions to third parties. I called the bank and it was true. They were going to suspend all my accounts this week if I didnt tell them the answers to the above questions. Said Austrac gave them the authority to do that.
