THE ALBANESE LIE LIST. PART NINE: 1.2 MILLION HOMES. The government promised 1.2 million new homes in the five years from 1 July 2024. That needs 60,000 completions every quarter. The Bureau of Statistics released the June quarter figures on 7 October 2026. In the first two years, 355,820 homes were completed. The target needed 480,000 by now. That's about 124,000 homes behind. To catch up, the country must now complete about 70,000 homes every quarter, faster than any quarter of this Accord so far. The government's own housing supply council expects the target to be reached a year late, in 2030. Here's what that means for you. The median Australian home is now worth $899,236. The average new owner-occupier loan is $731,000. Rents rose 5.5% in the past year. And 169,000 households are on the waiting list for public housing, 71,700 of them in greatest need. Meanwhile the government set a migration target of 250,000 for 2024-25. It came in at around 306,000. In fairness, the states control planning and approvals, and builders face high costs and labour shortages. But the government set the target, signed the Accord and campaigned on it. Every quarter it falls further behind, another family stays in the rental queue. But there's more… Cold Hard Facts. Corrected when wrong. No misinformation. What's your thoughts…?

3/12 — THEY KNEW. THE PUBLIC FOUND OUT LAST. Every public record on Snowy 2.0 points the same way. The people running it knew more than you were told, and they knew it early. The main tunnel was planned on about 22 boreholes, one every 760 metres or so. The contractor told Parliament this month that one every 100 metres is normal. Snowy Hydro now admits "design immaturity" was the first cause of the blowout. At the 2023 reset, the contractor's own estimate was already 22 per cent over target, and it says both sides "understood… further cost increases… were likely". You were told $12 billion. In February this year Snowy Hydro's chief executive said the company "didn't foresee all of that in mid-2023". Snowy Hydro has had the new cost since late June. Under its equity agreement, it reports a projected cost to completion to government every month, according to the wording published by Rex Patrick. Last week it told Parliament it is working through a "communications plan". Through all of it the money kept moving. In 2024-25 the Commonwealth put $1.625 billion of equity in while Snowy Hydro paid $333.5 million out in dividends, and executives were due $1.24 million in bonuses a month before the blowout was announced. Snowy Hydro has an explanation for every step. What it hasn't explained is why the public always finds out last. But there's more… Cold Hard Facts. Corrected when wrong. No misinformation. What's your thoughts…?

There are so many lessons other nations including Australia can learn from the events in France. But for a start. - Ever larger govt that crushes productivity growth ends horribly and cant easily be turned off - Having young hard working people have little path to their lives reflecting that hard work and relative income affluence is a massive mistake - All migrants are not the same when it comes to integrating, they never were - Poorly targeted migration or migration focused on some nonsense modelled outcome, that lacks adequate consideration of real world outcomes both present and future is foolish. Once these mistakes are made, they cannot be fully undone, so its best not to make them in the first place.

I find it hard to believe that protests full of foreign flags and face masks are primarily about the cost of living. Or that people causing billions in property damage are mainly concerned about underfunded public services. Anyone is welcome to be ignorant. Just don’t expect the rest of us to be.

AUSTRALIA IS GOING BACKWARDS. PART 7/7: JOIN THE DOTS. None of this happened by accident. Follow the chain. The government added 1.27 million people through migration in three years, more than Canberra, Hobart and Darwin put together. The economy got bigger. Your share of it didn't. Real GDP per person is lower than when Labor took office. Those people needed homes. The country is 124,000 homes behind the government's own target. Rent is up $204 a week in five years. AMP says public spending hit a record 28% of the economy. The Reserve Bank Governor told the Senate that spending makes her job harder. Rates went up four times this year. 1.79 million mortgage holders are at risk of stress. The jobs came, but 80% were funded by government, and real wages are still below 2022. Power bills were hidden with rebates you paid for. When they ended, electricity jumped 22.4% and fed straight back into inflation and your mortgage. Tax is now the highest share of the economy since 2007-08. Interest on the national debt is $27.7 billion a year, $75 million a day. Put it all together and the OECD gives you the result. Australian households had the biggest fall in living standards in the developed world, two years running. In fairness, the Reserve Bank sets rates, the whole world had an inflation shock, and government debt as a share of the economy is lower than in 2022. But migration, spending, rebates and tax were the government's choices. Every one landed on the same kitchen table. Yours. Cold Hard Facts. Corrected when wrong. No misinformation. What's your thoughts…? Peter Lyndon-James 🇦🇺 Sources: as cited in Parts One to Six; Final Budget Outcome 2025-26, 28 Sep 2026.

"Men don't get an opinion on how women dress!" "Men don't get an opinion on women's body counts!" "Men don't get an opinion on abortion!" "Men don't get an opinion on women's behaviour!" But have you noticed; women get an opinion on everything men say or do. Interesting. 🤔

To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad: Do not blame the French people for this. We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no. Here are the numbers your media won't show you. 70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today. 79% want a tougher immigration policy. 77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration. 83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home. And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. This is not a fringe. This is the French people. In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again. That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway. So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations. In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders. It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed. What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it. The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did. So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this." The French never chose this. They were forced into it. If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us. If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.

As events continue to unfold in France, a somewhat oversimplified history lesson. The failures and corruption of Chiang's China saw an increasingly wide range of society back Mao and the Communists. Before they liquidated or "reeducated" anyone they saw as problematic. The failings and corruption of the Shah's Iran saw progressives back the Ayatollah and the Islamic Revolution. Later many would be lined up against a wall and shot, or hung in mass executions. As more and more people desire to tear down their nation or someone else's, its worth reflecting on what this has actually achieved in reality most of the time. And why I hope that our collectively borderline brain dead elite finally wake up and realize they have created almost all of this, through a combination of greed and stupidity.

.@AnikaWells and @AlboMP hate the public doing the fact-checking through @CommunityNotes and want Labor Party ideologues to decide the truth for the entire Internet like Big Brother. They’ve made their hatred of the Australian people abundantly clear

The United Nations did not LIFT third world countries up. It dragged first world countries DOWN. That's how socialists achieve 'equity'. They make sure you're all f-d.

It's not black pain, it's pain. It's not black joy, it's joy. It's not black love, it's love. It's not black hair, it's hair. It's not black trauma, it's trauma. It's not a black life, it's a life. I think it's time to abandon separatist language and thought.
