The intifada has come to France. Those masked gangs with their Palestine flags and their hatred for the French Republic are not ‘protesting’ – they are carrying out a mob jihad against democracy itself. France is committing suicide, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/mX6EV4Q

The numbers are truly eye watering. Snowy 2.0 was originally sold to Australians as a $2 billion project. Now I am seeing reports suggesting costs could potentially reach $40 billion. Australia is building a facility capable of storing 350 GWh of electricity and delivering 2,200 MW for approximately 160 hours. Please remember that Snowy 2.0 doesn’t produce net electricity. It consumes more electricity pumping water uphill than it subsequently generates? It’s bananas. A nuclear power station with the same 2,200 MW capacity, operating at 90%, could generate approximately 17.3 TWh of electricity every year. At illustrative construction costs of $8–18 million per MW, such a nuclear facility could cost between $17.6 billion and $39.6 billion, before financing and other lifecycle costs. Storage and generation aren’t interchangeable, but taxpayers deserve a transparent comparison of the alternatives. At what point do we seriously reconsider the economics of Snowy 2.0?
In May 2017, Malcolm Turnbull said ‘Snowy 2’ would cost $2B. In 2024 he apologised and said he should have said $6B. Now it’s up to $40B. Kill this white elephant now.

🚨 NOW: Investigation confirms 54 GROUPS, including communists, socialists and Islamists, are BEHIND the major riots in France The fake news told us it's about "students" It's about the INVASION of France both by foreigners and 3rd world ideology! 😠 "You don't see the French flag flying in order for them to get a better France. They're trying to destroy the nation!" "They work with the Islamist groups that are very anti-Israel. And that's why you're going to see the Palestinian flag along with these images of the hammer and sickle." — @AsraNomani Only 16 of the 54 groups are student or youth groups. The other 38 are adult-run communist parties, unions, revolutionary groups and propaganda outlets The network also includes Tricontinental and CodePink, both tied to Neville Roy Singham, a Marxist American tech millionaire who lives in Shanghai The same Singham-funded network has been behind anti-Israel and anti-America protests in the United States! Make no mistake: if France falls to this mob, they will be EMBOLDENED in the US 🇺🇸

Media Release: One Nation will reverse Dr Chalmers’ budget experiments One Nation will fix Dr Jim Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments by reversing his capital gains tax and trust changes. One Nation will also protect negative gearing for up to two investment properties and vows to fight any plan by the Treasurer to impose death taxes and taxes on the family home. One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said Australians were paying for a Treasurer who had no idea what he was doing and the Albanese Labor government who just cannot stop spending and driving up inflation. “Dr Jim Chalmers is experimenting on the Australian economy, and everyday Australians are his guinea pigs.” Senator Pauline Hanson said. “He’s playing with your home, your rent, your business and your savings. When his experiments fail, Australians will pay dearly. “He has smashed business confidence, cut off business investment and helped send the property market into free fall. “Already, more than 1,100 households who bought through Labor’s expanded five per cent deposit scheme are now estimated to owe more than their homes are worth. “Labor encouraged them into the market, then pulled the rug out from under them. “They botched the ATO credit card ban and lied about their involvement. They were forced to back down on their widow tax. Now accountants warn Labor’s trust changes could cost Australians billions in unnecessary advice and restructuring. “Labor couldn’t run a corner shop. But they know how to send one broke. “One Nation will restore the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount and scrap Labor’s proposed 30 per cent minimum tax on trusts. “The status quo of allowing unlimited taxpayer concessions for property tycoons was not working for Australians. The Liberal plan to back the broken model protecting property moguls makes no sense. “One Nation would continue to allow Australians to negatively gear up to two investment properties. “Anthony Albanese has pulled the ladder up behind him on young people trying to break into the property market, protecting tax concessions for existing properties. This includes the Prime Minister’s own ocean view clifftop house in Copacabana, the hundreds of properties held by his own cabinet and the thousands of properties held by property tycoons. “The Labor government must answer whether members of cabinet who benefited from grandfathering negative gearing concessions recused themselves from voting on the measures given their conflict of interest. “Australians should be able to work hard, invest and get ahead. For many young Australians, an investment property was one way they could get a foot into the property market. “One Nation will end this disastrous experiment and reverse Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments. “And we will draw a line around the family home and stop any plans for Labor’s death taxes. “It’s not enough that you already work several days a week to pay for Labor’s uncontrolled spending. Because Labor cannot control their own spending, they will keep coming back to shake you down for more. “My warning is that your family home, your super, and what you leave your children will be in the firing line next. “Labor broke its promises on negative gearing and capital gains tax. Why would Australians trust anything they say? “One Nation will never impose a death tax. We will never impose a tax on the family home. “You should not have to spend your life paying for Labor’s spending addiction, then have them send your children the final bill.”

This sunday the 25th of October Please share and spread the word!
🇦🇺PROTECT OUR HERITAGE🇦🇺 Victoria Barracks has stood in Paddington since the 1840s. Convicts quarried the sandstone, the buildings went up, and the suburb grew around them. For more than 180 years Australian soldiers have marched through those gates. It is one of the most intact Georgian military sites left in the country and the spiritual home of the Army. The Army Museum is located inside the original 1847 district military prison. None of that is going to matter if the federal government gets its way. In February 2026, the federal government announced plans to sell it as part of a fire sale of 67 defence sites worth around $3billion. Once it leaves public hands the Commonwealth heritage protections go with it. I'm unsure of who the organisers are, but I was sent a rally flyer for this Sunday, details are below. 25th of October 12:45pm Outside Victoria Barracks, Oxford Street, Paddington. The Army Museum is still open if you want a look inside when you get the chance: every Thursday 10am-2pm, and every third Sunday of the month 10am-3pm. Please note: myself nor Fight For Australia are involved in the organisation of this protest, but we fully support the message.

BREAKING: THE BIGGEST CLIMATE SCANDAL IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY The Albanese Labor Government has just been caught red handed. New forensic evidence suggests they are using a compromised Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) to fabricate a climate crisis that simply does not exist. A explosive forensic audit led by investigator Tom Berger and retired scientist Geoff Sherrington has uncovered widespread, systematic errors and fake readings within the BOM’s raw climate data. We aren't talking about minor glitches, we are talking about copy and pasted data designed to make the past look cooler and the present look warmer.
BREAKING: THE BIGGEST CLIMATE SCANDAL IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY The Albanese Labor Government has just been caught red handed. New forensic evidence suggests they are using a compromised Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) to fabricate a climate crisis that simply does not exist. A explosive forensic audit led by investigator Tom Berger and retired scientist Geoff Sherrington has uncovered widespread, systematic errors and fake readings within the BOM’s raw climate data. We aren't talking about minor glitches, we are talking about copy and pasted data designed to make the past look cooler and the present look warmer. The audit exposed blatant data manipulation at the Sydney Observatory: •The Fabricated Data: Minimum temperatures from August 1907 were found completely duplicated and inserted into the August 1867 record. •The Cover-Up: The Australian fact-checked the National Archives and confirmed this "double-up" does not exist in the original handwritten records. The online data used to justify sweeping climate policies is completely wrong. For years, the BOM has operated on a “trust us” basis. Dr David Evans, the scientist who built Australia’s carbon accounting software, warns that this “secret climate business” mirrors the worst days of fraudulent medical drug trials, where researchers were under immense pressure to exaggerate results to fit a narrative. Labor is terrified of an independent audit because they know their Net Zero house of cards will collapse if the public sees the real numbers. Dr Jennifer Marohasy confirmed that outside of Adelaide, there has been no proper audit of Australia's weather stations. If our historical data is corrupted with fake inputs, the AI forecasting models used for future planning become entirely useless. The Albanese Government doesn't want the data audited because the data doesn't support their narrative. They are destroying our economy, killing our energy grid, and forcing Net Zero targets on regular Australians based on copy and pasted climate fiction. The question is simple, if the records are sound, why is Labor so opposed to an independent audit?

In regard to the Australian govts Digital Duty of Care, we don’t need to be protected on social media by the government; we need to be protected on social media FROM the government.

In May 1968 I was a hippy Marxist and I supported the Paris riots by leftists. Roger Scruton was there at the time and rejected the left. 3 years later I followed suit and rejected it as well. See link below:

FRANCE IS BURNING — THIS IS OUR FUTURE IF WE DON'T WAKE UP! 🚨 1,800+ arrested, shopkeepers attacked, streets on fire, historic landmarks destroyed. It’s a cultural collapse. ZERO assimilation. JD Vance is right. America better wake up before it’s too late! 🇺🇸

Churches have burned in France. City Halls have burned in France. Supermarkets have burned in France. Restaurants have burned in France. The only thing not to have burned in France are mosques. I wonder why?

Do ANY of these news outlets have firsthand sources for these claims -- that these are "cost of living" riots? Most of the rioters are immigrants and most of them received public assistance so how does this even make sense?
Demonstrations against rising cost-of-living and fuel prices turned violent as protesters clashed with riot police across France. ABC News' Alex Presha reports. abcnews.link/E9pQeRb

Very good work Mr Ruddick. More than 20,000 Australians have signed a petition calling for tougher consequences for serious and repeat violent youth offenders. There’s clearly a very significant appetite for greater accountability, stronger protections for victims and a justice system that takes violent crime seriously in Australia 🇦🇺
Please sign the 'Adult Crime, Adult Time' petition here. This is a parliamentary petition and your email and contact details are not shared with me or anyone else. You must be a resident of NSW to sign. When our law is soft on teenage criminals we get more teenager criminals. "Adult Crime, Adult Time' laws help prevent troubled youth becoming lifetime crims. Please sign and share as petition closes Tuesday. Thank you @StuarBonds parliament.nsw.gov.au/parlia…

Early on Scruton embraced the leftist spin, as so many young people had done, without carefully thinking it through. But then, when he was faced with some hard-hitting reality as in the 1968 Paris riots, he knew he could not stay in that camp any longer. They woke him from his leftist delusions. As he said: “The greatest enemy of the Left is reality.”

Yes, the same person who wants the government to have the power to create false & fictitious sock puppets to peddle government "information" - also spread disinformation to cover up her own false & fictitious "information" misuse of expenses. Anika Wells herself, is a case as to why government should not have such powers.
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.
