How can these “men” NOT BE EMBARRASSED???
These morons want to steal your wealth & enslave you. Newtown station. They don’t understand that they would be the first people that the real Communists would line up against the wall. They always take out the useful idiots first. Australian Universities promote Marxist & Communism & all the rejects that have no talent, no skills & nothing useful to offer the world are drawn to it like moths to a flame. They think it gives them power & a free ride. You aren’t the revolution if the globalists, government & MSM support you 🙄

As an employment lawyer & entrepreneur who’s built a business employing hundreds, I call bullshit on scrapping the CGT discount in the name of ‘fairness’. Labor claims it’s about ‘balancing labour and capital’ yet politicians, public servants and academics get taxpayer-funded super at 15.4–17%, while private sector workers get just 12%. Their excuse? ‘It’s part of their package.’ So why punish risk-takers and job creators, but protect special tax incentives for the political class? Chalmers, Albo - care to explain?

🚨 Polls open in ~4 hours in Switzerland on whether to cap the population at 10 million and sharply restrict immigration. In Australia, referendums only happen when the federal government feels like it. In Switzerland, just 100,000 citizens (around 1.8% of eligible voters) can force a binding national vote by signing a petition. The Swiss People's Party (@SVPch) championed this one. Voters are being asked: "Do you accept the initiative “No to a Switzerland with 10 million!”? A Yes vote supports the population cap. @SVPch nytimes.com/2026/06/13/world…

🚨 POLITICAL HISTORY OF AUSTRALIA (podcast) Episode 30: London's Verdict on the Rum Rebellion The men who led the march on Government House to depose Governor William Bligh in 1808 knew there would be consequences. Yet the Rebel Administration played their weak hand with skill. Beyond removing Bligh at gunpoint, they worked hard to appear measured and proper at every step. In this episode we examine London’s firm response to the Rum Rebellion: dispatching 800 battle-hardened troops from the 73rd Regiment, ordering a court martial, and recalling the New South Wales Corps. Lachlan Macquarie arrives in Sydney at the end of 1809 and is sworn in as governor on New Year’s Day 1810, marking the start of the Middle Colonial Period. The dramatic 1811 court martial of Major George Johnston in London hears explosive testimony from both sides. Johnston is found guilty of mutiny yet receives only the lightest possible sentence - sacked from the army - because the court acknowledged the “novel and extraordinary circumstances” created by Bligh’s tyrannical rule. Johnston returns quietly to farming life, Bligh never commands men again and John Macarthur remains in England until 1817. The episode closes the Early Colonial era and sets the stage for the new political divide that would dominate the Macquarie years and beyond: Exclusives versus Emancipists.

Happy Sunday! 🙏 Singing the final verse of “Amazing Grace” with a crowd of thousands of people - so that those inside NSW Parliament could hear us! It was a very emotional experience for me and I was honoured to dedicate this powerful song to those who have been affected by abortion. Thank you @ProfJoannaHowe for the opportunity to do this! 💛

Good work, young Will 🫡 I grew up believing we would have Nuclear Energy. Make my dream come true. 📷An excerpt from my school science book - late '60s. 📷 standing outside Lucas Heights Nuclear Power Plant after a tour - early '70s. Aussies deserve reliable Nuclear Energy!

Great win tonight by the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks. The Sharkies are the only club remaining who own their own stadium ... and are being punished for doing so. Here's the backstory 👇 @cronullasharks @csharksnet #SharkieSince78 (unlike conman Scomo)

Australia is full of place names with Aboriginal origins. Just in Sydney we have: Kirribilli, Woolloomooloo, Parramatta, Woollahra, Turramurra, Bondi, Coogee, Maroubra, Cronulla, Narrabeen, Tamarama, Warringah, Cabramatta and on and on it goes. Here's an insight into how these names were embraced. This is Governor Macquarie's diary entry for 29 November 1810 when he is on trek exploring the area we know as Warragamba. "The Banks of the River are here very lofty and almost perpendicular, not being less than 400 Feet in height and wooded to their very summits. They are beautifully grand and picturesque to look at, but extremely difficult to pass or travel through on foot from their great steepness and ruggedness. One of the natives born near this part of the country, and who was one of our party on this day's excursion, tells us that the real and proper native name of this newly discovered River that we are now exploring is the Warragombie, by which name I have directed it to be called in future. The immense high hill directly opposite where we breakfasted on, is called Cheenbar and is well known to the Natives."

I found Rothbard in October 2008, reading his PDFs in my Columbia apartment instead of writing my dissertation. It changed how I think about everything. My essay on him is chapter 10 of Rothbard at 100. Pre-order your copy today: bit.ly/42OLG3d

Saying that legal status determines what a word means is indeed precisely the same thing as saying it determines linguistics. Under no circumstances are we saying people should walk into a NSW Court and say that the legal framework adopted by the gang ruling over us says unborn babies are people. It does not say that, and we are not delusional sovereign citizens. However, the legal framework is wrong. In a NSW Court their rules apply - if we disagree with or disobey them they will use their massive supply of weapons and thugs to kidnap and imprison us. This however is not a NSW Court - this is X. The reality is that unborn babies are people and it you kill them you are a murderer and should be treated as such. This is not a legal argument we are making. You seem to have issues differentiating between state diktat and reality and/or linguistics. It does not particularly surprise us that Satanists support radical legal positivism and worship the state, however. Have a lovely day.

NSW Governor Lachlan Macquarie's journal entry for 16 November 1810: "This day's excursion was highly gratifying, and I saw a great deal of fine rich country every where I travelled. In the evening Koggie, the Native Chief of the Cow-Pasture Tribe, and his wife and half a dozen more Natives, favored us with an extraordinary sort of dance after their own manner, and with which we were all very much pleased. They were treated a glass of spirits each, before they began the dance, with which they were much pleased and which had a wonderful good effect on their spirits in performing their dance. The following are the names of the natives (not including some children) who honored us with their company and attendance during our stay at Bundie: Koggie and his two wives Nantz and Mary, Bootbarrie & his wife Mary, Young Bundle, Mandagerry, Jindle and Bill: Total 9 grown up Persons, besides 4 or 5 Children of different ages.--- During this day's Excursion we were attended by some of the Natives, one of whom amused us very much by climbing up a high tree to catch a goanna which he did in a very dextrous manner."

Everyone involved in the heritage process would understand this issue - thanks for shining the light on this!
Consultants "clipping the ticket" on native title and Aboriginal cultural heritage process in WA's resources sector. Summary findings of the "The Kelly Report" handed down this week and authored by National Native Title Tribunal member, Glen Kelly - the current system isn't working, and consultants have become the “primary beneficiaries” of the process. From my experience, this is disappointingly very true. #AMEC have been working to raise awareness of the issues and this is their position: #MiningAustralia #GGWA #Heritage

Javier Milei has significantly liberalized Argentina’s gun laws, including lowering the minimum age for ownership and ending a decades-old ban on many civilian-owned semi-automatic rifles. During Milei’s presidency, the homicide rate has fallen to record lows in #Argentina

We will always fight for what is right. Life should be valued and dehumanising babies in the womb is one of western society’s biggest tragedies. 🩷🩵💛 Thank you to @ProfJoannaHowe for having me 🙏 @AusLib4Life

URANIUM MINING IN NSW The Indian PM is visiting Australia in a few weeks. Top of his agenda? India wants uranium exports from Australia. India is building 18 nuclear power reactors by 2032. There is an enormous amount of poverty in India - Australian uranium can help provide cheap electricity to lift them up. The French were here last month and they too were begging Australia to up it's uranium exports. South Australia and the Northern Territory cannot keep up with the demand. The NSW Government should get out of the way and let this high potential industry flourish. @CxuAsx @ShackelWill smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

The Victorian Libertarian Party has put out a great video on how to live a happy life in Victoria. But I propose a simpler two step program for Victorians to be even happier: Step 1: Move to New South Wales. Step 2: Vote for @GemmaNoiosi
