FOR THE FIRST TIME, AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENTS TOOK IN MORE THAN $1 TRILLION IN A YEAR. THEY STILL SPENT MORE THAN THEY COLLECTED.
We keep hearing there isn't enough money. So I went to the Bureau of Statistics' own tables for 2024-25, every level of government: federal, state and council.
The tax. $839.0 billion. That's 30.2% of the whole economy, the highest share since 2007-08. Federal took $675.2 billion, the states $140.7 billion and councils $24.6 billion.
Per person.
The Bureau puts it at $30,633 in tax for every man, woman and child in the country. About $589 a week.
Where it comes from.
Personal income tax $316.2 billion, plus $25.7 billion in Medicare levy. Company tax $143.7 billion. GST $94.8 billion. Stamp duty on homes $34.4 billion. Payroll taxes $41.7 billion. Council rates $25.1 billion. Gambling taxes $10.0 billion.
On top of tax.
Another $183.4 billion from fees and charges, royalties, interest, dividends and other revenue. Total: $1,022.4 billion. The Bureau says it's the first time revenue has passed a trillion dollars.
And they still came up short.
Spending was $1,030.5 billion. Interest costs alone were $47.4 billion, nearly double ten years ago.
Ten years ago the tax take was $463.7 billion. It's up 81%.
Same standard.
That decade covers Coalition and Labor governments in Canberra and both sides in every state. Nobody gets to blame the other lot for this.
In fairness, those are dollar figures, not adjusted for inflation, the population has grown, and part of the tax is paid by companies, not households. Spending grew a little slower than revenue over the decade.
But governments have never taken in more of your money. When they say there isn't enough, the problem isn't how much they collect. It's what they do with it.
Same standard, every side.
Cold Hard Facts. Corrected when wrong. No misinformation.
What's your thoughts…?

Bowen just blamed the Iran War for all of the Australian Small Businesses stress. Early election now. These people are disgusting.

We're already at 1989 levels of pain... and it's set to get worse before it gets better.
You're not imagining it... it's tough right now.
"Ohhh but we had it tougher back in 1989 when interest rates were 17%! Kids these days are just too soft!"
No, actually you didn't, and I've got the numbers to prove it.
The cost of keeping a roof over your head is ALREADY at 1989 levels and set to get worse in 2027, but there ARE things you can do to improve your situation, and I'll arm you with the numbers you need to win the 'Back in my day' argument once and for all.

This bloke nails it.
Immigrants from past generations were the minority in our society and schools, and they took their cues on how to behave and act from predominantly Anglo people and Aussie ‘culture’ as a whole. Yes, many faced discrimination and hardship, but most sucked it up and had a go, and thus earned their place and the respect of the native Aussies they associated with.
They assimilated and comprised, and fit in with our standards and values,..and not the other way around. And by ‘we’ I don’t just mean Anglo Aussies, but also the previous generations of migrants who set good examples.
Most Aussies will give anyone a fair go if they show respect and have something to offer, but what’s not tolerated is arrogance, disrespect, and pushing values and culture incompatible with what is essentially a Christian country.
When immigrants come in huge numbers and live largely in their own ethnic enclaves, that has a flow on effect, and there there is no need for them to confirm to our standards or way of life. This dilutes our standards and culture, and not for the better.

“They are pretty desperate”
When asked about the Dirt File, Helen Haines said Labor were “pretty desperate”
When you read over the requests put to journalists - in truth the PMs Office was very detailed and gave specific instructions to the press pack
The media had clear expectations of the work the PM was looking for
And it raises serious questions about media and government integrity, under Labor

Pauline Hanson is the most threatened politician in Australia
Did any Labor politicians denounce this? NO
Did any Greens politicians denounce this? NO
Did any independent politicians denounce this? NO
Liberal Sarah Henderson was the LONE VOICE who condemned the threats
Openly students threatened Pauline Hanson saying they would:
“shoot her,” “kill her,” “hit her,” or subject her to the guillotine, along with chants of “F*ck Pauline Hanson” and “Pauline Hanson go to hell”
Even the Education Minister Jason Clare remained silent. And disgustingly he’s going to let it happen again, on one of the most sacred of days, Remembrance Day
Shame on you @JasonClareMP

Last night we saw a brutal terror attack on Australian MP Helen Haines.
The Australian government and mainstream media immediately poised to jump on the incident to call for a crack down on the Australian right.
But the terrorist was a far-left Palestine supporter.
I helped completely destroy their narrative by exposing the identity of the far-left terrorist online some 8 hours prior to the official government announcement.
Hilariously, some left wing influencers didn't get the memo that we knew the identity of the far-left terrorist.
Prominent Australian progressive influencer Hannah Ferguson hit the breakfast TV studios this morning to blame the attack on ''male violence'' and ''harmful online rhetoric.''
She didn't know that we had already exposed the identity and ideology of the terrorist some 8 hours earlier. So she just sat there sneering at us, lecturing us to ''tone down the rhetoric.''
Just last year she gleefully celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk, saying that violence was ''sometimes necessary.'' Disgusting hypocrite.

BREAKING: THE BIGGEST CLIMATE SCANDAL IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY
The Bureau of Meteorology’s “raw” climate data is not raw. A forensic audit by investigator Tom Berger and retired scientist Geoff Sherrington has found copied and corrupted readings inside the official record, and the Bureau has now admitted errors.
Exhibit A is the Sydney Observatory. Every minimum temperature for August 1867 in the digital record is an exact copy of August 1907. All 31 days, identical to a tenth of a degree. The original handwritten ledgers held by the National Archives show two different months. The real 1867 readings were simply overwritten.
This is the record that underpins Net Zero, and almost nobody has checked it against the paper. Dr Jennifer Marohasy says Adelaide is the only place in Australia where the historical temperatures have had a proper audit. Dr David Evans, who built the federal government’s carbon accounting model, likens the Bureau’s “trust us” culture to the worst days of rigged drug trials, where the pressure to deliver the expected result decided the result.
If a whole month of Sydney’s history can be a carbon copy of another year and sit there for decades, what else is buried in the record? Every model, projection and policy built on that history inherits the errors.
The Albanese Government is driving up power bills, gutting reliable generation and forcing Net Zero on ordinary Australians on the authority of this data. It has not ordered an independent audit of it.
The question is simple. If the records are sound, why won’t Labor order an independent audit?

🚨🇵🇱 ÚLTIMA HORA: POLONIA NO JUEGA
El eurodiputado polaco Dominik Tarczyński lanzó una advertencia contundente:
«No se acerquen a la frontera polaca. De lo contrario, estarán muertos. Les dispararán hasta matarlos».
Europa tiene mucho lo que aprender de Polonia.

That fork in the road for the West…
We have reached it.
Whatever Western people do now will determine the future of Western Civilisation.
Watch thousands of years of history & our nations all burn or do something about it?
We are at war & have been for a long time but only one side has been fighting.
Wake the hell up!

So it turns out that @AnikaWells, the lady who wants to censor her political enemies at home and the entire Internet globally, lied about her misuse of public money for personal travel. And it's not even her first time. No wonder these lying crooks are desperate for censorship.
Calls have come for Anika Wells to repay the cost of her flight home and be stood down after records from Don Farrell’s office failed to substantiate a meeting she said took place.
