Just like the voice - The quiet Australians sometimes roar 🦁
Its ok to hate Australia being flooded with 2.5 million immigrants. It's ok to hate Muslim terrorists killing Australians at Bondi. It's ok to hate Anthony Albanese the liar. It's ok to vote for Pauline Hanson One Nation.

On June 6, 1966, Roy Orbison was following his wife Claudette on his car as she rode her motorcycle. A truck pulled out. She swerved. Crashed. Roy held her body in the road, screaming. Claudette was 25 years old. When the police arrived, they found her purse. Inside was a pregnancy test. Positive. She had planned to tell him that night. He never knew until it was too late. Roy stopped performing for a year. The stage, the lights, the audience — nothing mattered. Then, in 1968, disaster struck again. His house caught fire. Two of his three sons died in the blaze. Most people would have vanished from the world entirely. Roy did not. He wrote. He cried. He poured grief into melodies because there was nowhere else to put it. Songs built from a loss that had no bottom. Lyrics that carried what his heart could not release. For decades, he carried the weight silently. In 1988, Roy Orbison died of a heart attack at 52. When they went through his wallet, they found it. Claudette’s pregnancy test. Still there. Twenty-two years later. He had carried it every single day. His final album, recorded just weeks before he died, was titled — *She's a Mystery to Me*. Some grief doesn’t fade. It doesn’t end. It becomes the quietest, most permanent part of who you are. Every note he sang, every melody he wrote afterward, held a piece of that silence. Roy Orbison carried his love and his loss together, letting the sorrow shape the music itself. And in doing so, he transformed tragedy into art that could be heard, felt, and remembered. Some memories never leave. Some grief never lets go. Some love lasts beyond life, quietly shaping everything left behind.
Community note
The story of a pregnancy test in Claudette Orbison's purse is untrue, as home pregnancy tests were not available until 1976 and no biographies mention her being pregnant when she died in 1966. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Orbis… history.nih.gov/illustrated-hi… royorbison.com/claudette-orbi…

Never easy in business with Labor who spend & create massive debt then tax in all sort of ways. Saw this before with Keating - there will be many businesses moving.
Woolworths has announced it will move hundreds of HR, IT and finance jobs offshore to Asia and India. They rake in over a billion dollars in profits annually from Australian shoppers, yet still send our jobs overseas. How greedy can a company be?

Extremely cold in the Dandenong Ranges at this time - Have always believed in you so thank you for meeting CWA - the salt of the earth.
Wonderful to visit the Belgrave CWA with Aaron Violi MP in the Dandenong Ranges and meet the incredible volunteers who continue to serve their community with dedication and generosity. For generations, The Country Women's Association has been at the heart of communities across Australia — supporting women, strengthening local connections, fundraising for important causes and lending a hand wherever it’s needed. It was inspiring to hear about the remarkable work being done by the Belgrave branch and the contribution CWA members make right across Victoria, including their longstanding support of the Royal Melbourne Show and countless local initiatives. Thank you for the warm welcome, the great conversations and for everything you do to keep community spirit alive. A special thank you to the volunteers from Boronia and Monbulk who made the trip over to join us. Strong communities don’t happen by accident. They are built by people who step up, volunteer their time and look out for one another. Australia is stronger because of people like you.

Tanya Plibersek also says Labor looks after the environment - as installing wind towers destroying koala habitat 🐨🐨
Labor Minister Tanya Plibersek says Labor has “cut” migration by 45%. Does this look like a cut to you? The number of migrants in the country has only reached record highs since Labor came into power. It’s now at all time record of 2.6 million temporary visa holders in the country (excluding tourists, crew and transit visas).

History shows if in business Never vote Labour
First,they fucked Australia over with the GCT,then the Native Title legislation. Then Kevin Rudd gave an apology for saving little kiddies, then Julia Gillard fucked over women's rights. NET zero and the NDIS, it just goes on and on. When are you morons going to wake up that Labor has been destroying our country for over 50 years.

#BREAKING A newly arrived African immigrant, 27, who cannot be named for legal reasons has been arrested by Victoria Police in Melbourne after going on a stabbing rampage in Epping, which has a large immigrant population. The man, is alleged to have stabbed his 40 year old male cousin at a share house located on Bradman Terrace in Melbourne's northern suburbs. Nearly three hours later, the suspect drove a silver Honda CRV wagon into his sister's home. He forced his way inside and attacked his sister, aged in her 30s, with an edged weapon, inflicting serious multiple injuries. The suspect's mother witnessed this second attack. The man fled the scene on foot, discarding a blood smeared knife on the nature strip. Following a massive manhunt involving the Victoria Police Air Wing and Dog Squad, a 27 year old African man was arrested and charged. He was charged with Intentionally cause serious injury (2 counts) Aggravated burglary and Reckless conduct endangering serious injury. He was refused bail. Yet another burden on the Australian taxpayer, courtesy of Anthony Albanese. Diversity is our strength.

I have been complaining about BT calling Carlton games for years - he even said once "Walsh banged his head into the ground harder than he needed to get free kick"

The Cripps commentary was fucked. Brayshaw is inept on Channel 7 and BTs on triple M was arguably worse

This is the kind of explosive interview every British voter needs to watch right now. In a hard-hitting sit-down with Alex Phillips on TalkTV, Raja Miah lays bare the systematic election fraud that has become routine in Labour’s Muslim-dominated strongholds. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. One of the candidates they fielded was literally called Muhammad Ali — you genuinely couldn’t make this stuff up. “Chip shop Ange” (Angela Rayner) gets linked straight into the scandal too, with serious questions now swirling about what she knew and when. The pattern is clear: fake independents, postal vote manipulation, intimidation at polling stations, and a bloc-voting machine that treats democracy like a private family business. All while the authorities look the other way for fear of “Islamophobia” accusations. This isn’t a few rogue activists. This is organised, industrial-scale rigging of our elections in areas that have been effectively handed over to one community. Labour isn’t winning seats fairly — they’re engineering them. And the British people, the ones whose ancestors built this democracy, are being treated like naïve bystanders while their votes are diluted and their voice is stolen. Raja Miah and Alex Phillips have done the country a huge service by putting this on record. The rest of us need to demand answers, not more cover-ups. Britain deserves clean elections. Not this third-world farce dressed up as “diversity.” Enough is enough. Watch the full interview and share it far and wide

A lady asked an old street vendor, "How much do you charge for your eggs?" The old man replied, "0.50 cents per egg, ma'am." The lady replied, "I'll take 6 eggs for 2.00 dollars or I'll leave." The old vendor replied, "Buy them at the price you want, miss. This is a good start for me, because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to make a living." She bought her eggs at a bargain and left feeling like she'd won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered whatever they wanted. They ate some of what they ordered and left much of it behind. So they paid the bill of 150 dollars. The ladies gave 200 dollars and told the owner of the fancy restaurant to keep the change as a tip. This story might seem very normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is: Why do we always have to show that we have power when we buy from people in need? And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity? We once read somewhere that a father bought goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need these things. Sometimes he paid more. His children were amazed. One day they asked him, "Why do you do that, Dad?" The father replied, "It's charity, wrapped in dignity." I know that most of you won't share this post, but if you're one of the people who took the time to read this far... Then this message of an attempt at "humanity" has taken a step in the right direction. Thanks for reading. 🫶

Michael Dell says the fastest way to wreck a company is to fill it with experts. He gets this from Henry Ford. "If I ever want to sabotage my competition, I would fill their ranks with experts. Experts tend to know so much, and they're so convinced that they're right, they'd get no work done." The cost isn't the bad prediction. It's the certainty. An expert who dismisses a new idea costs the company the next ten years of advantage. An expert who locks into a paradigm sees the world the way the paradigm allows. Dell points to AI as the live example. "If you took the top computer scientists and researchers in AI five years ago and said this is what's going to happen with LLMs in the next five years, probably 99 out of 100 would say no, that's not going to happen." The smartest people in the field. The ones with the credentials. The ones running the labs. Wrong. "At the limit, nobody knows anything." Most companies hire experts to remove uncertainty. Dell says the uncertainty is where the company lives. If you want to stop overthinking, and navigate any difficult decision, while supporting our channel... I made a full playbook breaking down the timeless decision-making mental models used by history's greatest thinkers. Comment "models" and follow @GeniusGTX so I can DM you a copy. — Michael Dell ( @MichaelDell ), founder & CEO of Dell Technologies, on David Senra's ( @davidsenra ) podcast

From someone who was once in that business- Well done to our Indian Aussies
Nearly every single service station in Australia is owned and run by Indians And every single employer they employ is Indian How is this not being investigated for discriminatory hiring practices?

The parents of a Victoria Cross-honoured soldier have been told money that pays for their travel to share his story is being cut the $3000, yet our government gave $50 million to the Taliban. The Baird family has given more to Australia’s veteran community than most could ever imagine. Their ongoing commitment to honouring Cameron Baird VC MG and supporting those who serve should be recognised, encouraged, and backed, not undermined. Cameron Baird’s name stands among the finest soldiers this nation has produced. His bravery, leadership, and sacrifice continue to inspire serving and ex-serving members across Australia. To many veterans of the modern era, Cam represents the very best of the Australian spirit, courage under fire, loyalty to mates, and service above self. Kaye and Doug Baird have carried that legacy forward with dignity and determination, ensuring Australians never forget the man behind the Victoria Cross or the sacrifice he made for his country. That is why it is deeply disappointing to see support withdrawn from the Baird family while they continue this important work, preserving Cam’s story and legacy. At a time when veteran families should be receiving greater backing, decisions like this send the wrong message entirely. Australia owes more to families like the Bairds. We should be standing beside them, not making their job harder. A nation that truly values service must also value those who continue carrying the burden of remembrance long after the uniform comes off.
