Absolutely vicious, unprovoked, and cowardly attack. A One Nation volunteer has been beaten beyond recognition and is now in hospital with multiple facial fractures and bleeding on the brain. He faces a long, brutal recovery. This is political thuggery, plain and simple. No one deserves to be savagely attacked for their beliefs. I will be donating to support his family. Prime Minister Albanese must condemn this immediately and ensure those responsible are held to account. gofundme.com/f/help-a-victo…

Nicotine use in Australia a great example of the increasing sense that people can just opt out of being governed if they are sufficiently antisocial. You can buy illegal cigarettes for $10 and face no penalty or follow the law and pay $70. Basically just an honesty tax.

One Nation Volunteer bashed with baseball bat by Leftist Migrants. This is what Leftist, non-citizen Migrants did to a husband & father of two young children outside his home. The One Nation volunteer was attacked with a baseball bat outside his home in Torquay, Victoria, after confronting two people who were damaging One Nation signs on his property. The Left have declared War on everyday Aussies due to LABOR calling everyone Far Right & Nazi’s. LABOR has normalised violence & regardless of what we do this election is going to get ugly because the Left are mentally deranged & Labor allows them to literally get away with murder. Stay safe out there, be prepared to defend & protect yourself & if you are volunteering for a Right Wing party go out in a group. We shouldn’t have to live like this.
On Sunday 1 November, a husband and father to two young children was allegedly attacked with a baseball bat outside his home in Torquay, Victoria, after confronting two people who were damaging One Nation signs on his property. He is now in hospital with multiple facial fractures and bleeding on the brain. He faces a long recovery. He runs his own business and is the family's only income earner. While he is recovering, the family has no money coming in. His work vehicle was also badly damaged in the alleged attack. His family should be able to focus on his recovery without the added worry of lost income, medical costs and everyday bills. We are keeping his name private to protect him and his family. All funds raised will go directly to the family to help cover these expenses and support his recovery. Any contribution, large or small, will help. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page. Thank you for standing with this father and his family. gofundme.com/f/help-a-victor…

BREAKING: An Afghan refugee who robbed an 80 year old grandmother and was caught with a large commercial supply of drugs in his boot has been allowed to stay in Australia by Tony Burke. You cannot make this up. A convicted Afghan drug courier who shamelessly scammed an 80 year old grandmother out of $2,000 has just had his visa cancellation overturned. Instead of being booted out of Australia, he's allowed to stay. Why? Because of the Albanese government’s disastrous “Direction 110” rules. Look at what Immigration Minister Tony Burke’s broken system is forcing Australians to live next door to: DRUG KINGPIN QUANTITIES: Caught with over 3kg of MDMA, 2kg of meth, and nearly 1kg of cocaine stuffed in his boot. ELDERLY ABUSE: Convicted of fraud for preying on and robbing an innocent 80 year old woman. ACTIVE OFFENDER: He was literally hauled into court twice just weeks ago facing brand new drug charges during his appeal. ZERO REMORSE: Dropped out of his required rehab and told the court he doesn't need any more drug rehabilitation. The tribunal admitted he is a “moderate risk” to reoffend, but ruled his “ties to Australia” and “fear of the Taliban” trump the safety of Australian citizens. Tony Burke claims “community safety comes first” but this is a total betrayal. Labor’s character framework has turned our immigration system into an absolute joke, and everyday Australians are paying the price for their utter weakness. How much longer can this government put foreign criminals ahead of Aussie families?

In 2018, Albanese said a parliamentary committee finding that Peter Dutton misled Parliament meant he “should resign” under Westminster principles. In 2026, Albanese told Parliament a $6m grant to his local Marrickville Golf Club (where he’s an honorary member) was for sewerage works. Officials later confirmed sewerage was “not in the scope of the grant.” He admitted the claim was “not correct.” Still Prime Minister. No resignation. Just a different standard when the boot is on the other foot. Tick tock Albo.

So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right? 1

We need their paychecks to reflect the amount of time they are at work, like the rest of us. We've created an elite political class, high above the average Australian. Once these people reach that peak, they never have to ever care again about Australia. They have it all made. They could utterly destroy and decimate our country and be fully rewarded for it for the rest of their lives. And having this system in place gives these kinds of people the ultimate incentive to run for public office in the first place. If the pay and rewards were modest, reflecting what normal Australians receive, then disgusting communists and people who only care about enriching themselves would have far less interest in becoming politicians. We do this to ourselves. We have to change politicians wages to reflect our wages. This is what I'm going to submit to One Nation's survey program.

The Australian'a have caught on. She won't survive this. The internet is forever. Sydney University will regret this.
Apparently creating a medical apartheid state to force a failed and experimental medical treatment is the epitome of empathy and good government... You can now learn how to be a tyrant and get a better job at Sydney Uni. Disgusting.

She belongs in jail.
It makes you want to vomit. Jacinda Ardern has been gifted a privileged position at Sydney University as a “professor of practice”. The University released a statement: “Her work will focus on empathetic leadership, social cohesion and civic trust; further developing new approaches to global and values-based leadership, as well as exploring new ways to address global health challenges centred on equity, inclusion and wellbeing.” This has to be some type of sick joke. “Empathetic leadership – equity and inclusion” – this from a woman that smirked about dividing society into two classes of people. “Civic trust” – from a woman who destroyed civic trust and will be remembered by history as saying “we will be your single source of truth” – and then proceeded to tell lie after lie about the so-called vaccine. The only university Ardern is fit to lecture at is one in North Korea or Cuba. But her appointment only confirms what we already know – our universities are no longer places of education and learning – they are Marxist indoctrination camps, so Ardern will fit in well. Just another reason to vote One Nation.

This is @AlboMP in 2020 commenting on then Coalition Minister Bridget McKenzie who admitted to breaching ministerial standards by failing to formally declare her membership at the Wangaratta Trap and Gun Club, which received $36,000 in federal funding through a Sports Funding program. She resigned. Thanks to @rovingallround for the clip.

BREAKING: Department of Infrastructure officials have just confirmed what many suspected: the $6 million federal grant to Marrickville Golf Club in Anthony Albanese’s electorate was not for fixing sewerage issues. Albanese repeatedly told Parliament and the ABC that the money was to stop raw sewage flowing into the Cooks River during floods. Officials at Senate estimates were clear: “It does not include sewerage works.” The actual project, according to departmental briefs, FOI documents and council minutes: $4.5m went to the clubhouse redevelopment (bar, toilets, pro shop, alfresco dining, dog station) $1m stormwater harvesting. $0.5m landscaping/native plantings The septic/sewage connection was handled separately by a $269,500 NSW Government grant in 2025. This is the same club where Albanese held an undisclosed honorary membership dating back years, something he says he didn’t know about and never used, despite being caught on camera at the club hundreds of times. People have been forced to stand down over far less. Barry O’Farrell resigned as NSW Premier in 2014 after ICAC evidence showed he received a bottle of Penfolds Grange (valued at around $3,000) that he failed to declare and initially denied receiving. One bottle. One denial. Career over. Here we have a Prime Minister whose department has contradicted his public statements about a $6 million grant to a club in his own seat, after an undeclared membership was revealed, and he remains in office. If a bottle of Grange ended a Premier, what standard are we applying now?

THIS IS HOW ALBO SELLS OUT THE ARMY The Albanese government is kicking Australian Army personnel out of Victoria Barracks, the spiritual home of the Army since the 1840s, fully owned by the Australian people, and dumping them into a CBD high rise in Pitt Street. That building, Defence Plaza, is owned by Singaporean interests and mortgaged to the Oversea Chinese Banking Corporation. Security is handled by Wilson Security, ultimately owned by a Hong Kong family. Senator Jess Collins dragged this out at a Senate inquiry. Defence’s own acting deputy secretary admitted he didn’t even know about the Chinese bank mortgage. Five floors. $231 million lease over 10 years. Tens of millions more on fit out. All taxpayer money flowing to a foreign owned tower with clear Chinese financial leverage. Victoria Barracks is secure, operational, and Australian owned. The new digs are a commercial office block where the landlord and mortgage holder sit outside Australian control. You don’t need to be a genius to see the risk: Chinese intelligence services have a long track record of embedding in buildings with financial or ownership leverage over them. Once the Army is in there, assume it’s compromised. This isn’t cost saving. It’s another deliberate step that puts critical Australian military functions under structures Beijing can influence. Selling off historic, Commonwealth owned bases while parking headquarters staff in a Chinese mortgaged building is the pattern, soft on China, soft on borders, soft on national security. The Army’s spiritual home is being fire sold despite opposition from veterans, former generals, both sides of politics, and the public. And the replacement is a tower we don’t fully control. One things for certain, Donald Trump would never place the US Military in a Chinese owned building. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same.
