BREAKING: THE ALBANESE GOVERNMENT PUBLIC SERVANT WAGE HAS EXPLODED
Jim Chalmers and Katy Gallagher are completely out of their depth.
The latest ABS data highlights a significant challenge in fiscal management: the federal public sector wage bill has increased by another 7% last financial year, now topping $43.7 Billion.
The figures paint a stark picture:
The commonwealth public service has expanded by 14.7% since the government took office, nearly double the growth rate of the private sector workforce.
The total public sector wages bill has risen by 35% over the same period.
The Consultant Spend Contradiction
Finance Minister Katy Gallagher recently declined to commit to net savings and acknowledged that the shift away from external consultants has not met expectations.
Despite stated intentions to reduce reliance on labor hire, spending on consultants reached a record $860 Million last financial year, a 9% increase compared to the Coalition's final year in 2021-22.
Impact on Monetary Policy
With the Reserve Bank of Australia implementing its fifth rate hike of the year to address domestic capacity pressures, economists and business groups are calling for tighter fiscal discipline ahead of the mid year budget update to help curb inflation.
Adding to the fiscal pressure, the CPSU has rejected a 3 year, 9% pay offer, holding out for a 15% wage increase and a four day work week trial.
This is incompetence.
Australians are paying the price through higher mortgages, higher rents, and higher taxes while the public sector keeps expanding.
Who in their right mind is still voting for this?
Corrupt Labor will never change
Labor documents reveal $72m Victorian treaty spend including $545,000 arena event ..
Victorian taxpayers were hit with a $545,000 bill for a Jacinta Allan-led celebration of Labor’s Indigenous treaty which has also pumped tens of millions of dollars into groups involved in the reconciliation process.
The cost of the John Cain Arena event is buried in hundreds of Allan government documents and emails detailing how Labor has signed off on $72m in publicly funded grants to bankroll the nation’s first Indigenous treaty.
The Australian can reveal last year’s December 12 event racked up a $218,000 production bill, artists costs were $256,000 and styling of a “sand circle” on the stage cost taxpayers $14,200 which Premier Ben Carroll slammed on Thursday as a “not appropriate” use of public funds.
The documents reveal there was a discussion about charging some of the 4000 guests $10 a head to attend, but the documents suggest Ms Allan’s private office intervened to make the event free.

A BRILLIANT POST SHARE IT EVERYWHERE
Many years ago, Australia was a wonderfully relaxed place. A bit laid back, laconic even, and sure, we had political and religious differences with each other and there were some minor isolated racial tensions (Vietnamese crims, and Lebanese gangs etc) but on the whole, we mostly got along with each other.
Kids gave as good as they got, teenagers were teenagers and young people made mixed racial marriages and had babies, precious babies. We had sporting heroes who did us proud and as a country, we punched above our weight around the world – in almost every endeavour.
In 2007, we lost our way, when incivility raised its head as a result of the Rudd/Gillard Labor years.
In late 2015, the Conservatives, after winning back government, then betrayed its supporters by backstabbing Tony Abbott and replacing him with Malcolm Turnbull, the most destructive, socialist Liberal leader in Australia’s history. This set the tone for where we are now. It’s one thing for a politician to be either a socialist or a conservative, we accept that and manage it, but when a Liberal Party Prime Minister pretends he is a conservative, but underneath is really a socialist, then his true character is revealed, and the damage has been done. His betrayal stung loyal conservatives and allowed Labor into government due to the fracturing of the Liberals. The blame for Labor destroying the country, started with that treachery.
The reality is, that this country’s confidence has degenerated to its lowest point and is in dire straits; politically, socially, morally and economically.
The Labor Party in power in 2026, is the most incompetent, inept, dishonest and immoral government we have ever experienced. Whitlam was a boy scout in comparison. The incompetence of this Labor government, and its Prime Ministers deliberate propensity, to deceive and lie to avoid any responsibility for anything tells you all you need to know.
The first thing any decent elected governments duty is to protect its citizens.
Rudd and Gillard allowed unfettered boat people.
The Liberals after Abbott and then Labor since 2022, have failed miserably on border protection and wickedly, have betrayed us and left us weak, defenceless, and divided.
Australia’s Diggers, its sportsmen and sportswomen, its creators, its inventors, its academic achievements, and hard-working citizens were admired around the world, yet today we are seen as second rate. Why?
These last ten years of economic destruction, and moral sapping, social division; has been caused by two deceitful politicians – Malcolm Turnbull initially, and now Anthony Albanese.
Morrison was just a bumbling fool.
Australia today, is defenceless, and spiritless; we suffer from social disharmony, we are religiously and racially divided, we see hopelessness, and we are economically, socially and morally bankrupt.
These past four and a half years, and all because of just one vulgar, deceitful and immoral person, since I refuse to describe him as a man, which demonstrably, he is not. Men do not behave like this grub.
His total dishonesty and his vulgarity, earns him the distinction of being the most despised politician in Australia’s political and social history.
4 years not a peep from this prick all of a sudden he is posting on socials everyday. Vote him out he is corrupt. #OneNation

THE NATION IS ON FIRE.
We have a government that is completely out of control. This is worse than the dying days of Whitlam.
🔥The Prime Minister has misled Parliament in a desperate attempt to cover up the corrupt up the $6 million Marrickville Golf Club affair.
🔥The regime bullied Helen Haines by leaking a dirt sheet simply for speaking out against Albanese’s Marrickville Golf Club rort.
🔥They appear to have attempted to bribe a One Nation MP by offering him an extra $200,000 per annum staffing allowance — conduct that looks like a criminal offence under the Criminal Code.
🔥Ministers, including the Attorney-General, have been caught red-handed rorting their travel allowances and were forced to pay the money back.
🔥A clueless nincompoop in Chris Bowen is destroying our national electricity grid, driving power prices through the roof, and surrendering the competitive advantage Australia once held in low-cost energy. Businesses are shuttering shops across the country as a direct result.
🔥The biggest infrastructure project in the nation, Snowy 2.0, is a national embarrassment of financial incompetence — a giant money pit. The original $2 billion budget has blown out to between $40 and $50 billion, and it may still climb higher.
🔥A disgraced former New Zealand Prime Minister is being rewarded with a “Professor” title to farcically lecture on cohesion at the University of Sydney — an institution that already receives more than $1.2 billion in taxpayer funding.
🔥Meanwhile the economy is collapsing. Unemployment is rising. The government has lost control of inflation. Interest rates are set to rise again on Melbourne Cup day.
🔥GDP per capita is going backwards. Homelessness is at record levels.
🔥Productivity is in freefall. Productive businesses such as the Blayney Gold Mine are being blocked on fictitious grounds.
🔥Millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent apologising for paedophiles while the same government passes new laws to censor free speech, claiming they are “protecting the children.”
🔥Our military is under attack. They are persecuting Ben Roberts-Smith. They are trying to sell off Victoria Barracks. Our two largest naval vessels cannot put to sea. And they are planning to rewrite the War Memorial with exhibitions designed to shame Australians over the fact that Aboriginal societies were rescued from the Stone Age.
🔥Dodgy Dan Andrews is pulling the Prime Minister’s strings, having him attend suspect meetings with dodgy Chinese billionaires who are in dispute with the tax office.
🔥biological men are being given free rein to invade women’s and girls’ toilets and changerooms.
🔥Crime is surging. Home invasions, carjackings and machete mayhem — once foreign to Australia — are now everyday events under this government.
🔥Children are being so brainwashed by the Marxist infiltration of our education system that they planned to protest on Remembrance Day.
🔥Unprecedented rates of mass migration are being deployed as a tool to import Labor voters, as more and more Australians are feeling like foreigners in their own land.
Look at this gutless prick haven’t seen him in community for 4 years and all of a sudden there he is.
Thrilled to jointly locals at the official opening of the West Heidelberg Library. An amazing new service for our community. A great partnership with @BanyuleCouncil plus a $200,000 grant from the Carroll Labor Government to get it done. 📚 @yarraplentyread

Have any lefties deleted their posts from yesterday accusing PHON yet? 🤔🤷♂️
Have any of them apologised?
Have any of them shown remorse?
Have any of them taken accountability for incitement?
I’ll wait……
What has happened to Helen Haines shouldn’t happen to any Australian and I hope she recovers well. But for people to start blaming @OneNationAus or any other political party at this stage is insane. We literally have very few details and please remember this happened in Victoria the crime capital of Australia thanks to @VictorianLabor. So chill out and wait for details before blaming everyone. BTW why hasn’t info been released ?

How can someone married to a convicted druggie be the Social services minister. Labor in a nut shell.

Well, that was wild. I'm at the Australian Parliament and just left a meeting with two staffers for the governing party. They told us that the government needed more power to censor things like the upcoming US execution of Nidal Hasan.
When I asked why they needed to censor that video, one said it was to prevent copycat killings. Copycat killings by governments? I asked. Er, no, they said. Copycat killings like of a backpacker, several decades ago.
So, under that logic, I pointed out, the government should censor things like last year's Bondi massacre, where two Muslims killed 15 people, no? Well, that was news, they said. Didn't they realize their bill would allow the government to censor news? They didn't seem to know, or care.
They also admitted that they did not know that the bill would allow the government to create and operate an unlimited number of fake social media accounts to attack its political enemies and spread disinformation. Having presented them with information they had never heard about a bill they had clearly not read, they emphasized to us, strenuously, that they were moving forward with the bill.
So there you have it. The government wants the power to arbitrarily censor scenes of violent crime, or violence, for any reason. And it wants the power to use an unlimited number of fake accounts to wage offensive disinformational warfare against the Australian people.
Given that the Bondi massacre last year increased public opposition to mass migration, and support for the populist One Nation Party, it seems obvious that the government wants to censor such events in order to protect its political power.
It's quite telling how obediently governing party members insist such a law is needed without even knowing what's in it.

Hola, soy palestino. 🇵🇸
Y como la honestidad es poco común en mi política, permítanme confesar algunas cosas.
1947. La ONU me ofreció un estado. Junto a Israel. Fronteras, independencia, reconocimiento. Dije que no. Mis líderes prometieron que la guerra "arrojaría a los judíos al mar". En cambio, lo perdí todo y lo llamaron catástrofe. No porque no me ofrecieran un estado, sino porque lo rechacé.
1948–2025. Los estados árabes podrían haberme integrado, dado derechos, pasaportes, dignidad. En cambio, me encerraron en campos de refugiados durante generaciones, para que siguiera siendo un arma contra Israel. Construyeron palacios para ellos y cárceles para mí. Me usaron como propaganda, no como personas.
1967. Tras otra guerra perdida, podría haber construido un estado en Cisjordania y Gaza. En cambio, insistí en "ni paz, ni reconocimiento, ni negociaciones". Tres noes. Cincuenta años después, sigo sin Estado. Resulta que el rechazo no paga el alquiler.
Oslo, década de 1990. Israel dijo: «Intentémoslo». Me dio autonomía. Armas para la policía. Miles de millones en ayuda. ¿Qué hicieron mis líderes? Robaron el dinero, armaron milicias y lanzaron una intifada. Atentados suicidas en lugar de escuelas. Cohetes en lugar de fábricas.
Gaza, 2005. Israel se fue por completo. Sin colonos, sin soldados. Tuve la oportunidad de convertir Gaza en un Singapur mediterráneo. Voté por Hamás. La convirtieron en Mogadiscio junto al mar. ¿Miles de millones en ayuda? Túneles, cohetes y palacios para sus líderes, mientras mi gente come comida enlatada en la oscuridad.
¿Democracia? No he tenido elecciones en casi 20 años. Hamás mata a los disidentes en Gaza. Fatah los encarcela en Cisjordania. Mis líderes cancelan elecciones porque están demasiado ocupados luchando por el poder.
Religión. En lugar de construir un futuro, pongo a clérigos en televisión enseñando a los niños a odiar a los judíos. Glorifico a los "mártires" que hacen estallar autobuses. Crío a mis hijos con canciones de sangre y fuego en lugar de libros y ciencia. Cambio la esperanza por la guerra santa.
Mundo árabe. Los regímenes árabes me llaman "hermano". Pero pregúntenles cuántos palestinos pueden vivir libremente en Líbano, Siria, Egipto o Kuwait. Me excluyen, pero celebran mi muerte, porque mi muerte es su excusa.
Absurdo. Sigo diciendo que quiero "construir un estado". E irónicamente, justo al lado está Israel: el vecino que construyó una democracia próspera, una potencia tecnológica, granjas en el desierto, ciudades de polvo. Sin petróleo, sin riqueza infinita, solo coraje. Podría haber aprendido, copiado, colaborado. En cambio, elegí la envidia y la rabia.
Obsesión antijudía. Podría haber aceptado a los judíos como vecinos. Podría haber dicho: "Dos naciones, dos estados". En cambio, repito: "Del río al mar". En lugar de exhibir el honor, la hospitalidad y la rica cultura árabe, mostré solo la cultura de la espada: la ira, el extremismo y la sangre. En lugar de gritar salaam (paz) a los israelíes, grité muerte a los judíos. Y luego finjo sorprenderme cuando los israelíes no confían en mí, cuando están enojados, decepcionados y convencidos de que no quiero coexistencia en absoluto.
Responsabilidad. Culpo a Israel de todo. Siempre. ¿Mis líderes roban miles de millones? Culpa de Israel. ¿Hamás dispara cohetes desde hospitales? Culpa de Israel. ¿Glorifico la muerte más que la vida? Culpa de Israel. La responsabilidad no es mi fuerte.
Soy palestino.
Podría haber construido una nación, muchas veces. Elegí el rechazo, la corrupción y la guerra sin fin. Podría haber vivido en paz con Israel, pero elegí vivir a la sombra de su destrucción.
Así que sí, soy una víctima. Pero con demasiada frecuencia, soy víctima de mis propios líderes, de mis propias decisiones y de mi propia negativa a abandonar el odio.
Y esa, querido lector, es la tragedia que nadie quiere admitir.
