Watching @4corners on pregnancy discrimination and the Sex Discrimination Commissioner is using gender neutral terms to describe “caregivers” and “people” rather than mothers. How can we fix issues like sex discrimination we can’t even adequately describe it? These “experts” who use gender neutral language are a big part of the problem.

Albo's office makes Plibersek humiliate herself like this every Monday morning because she's a threat to his leadership.
Labor banned credit card surcharges.
Tanya Plibersek: "There's a $1.9 billion saving to consumers."
Matt Canavan: "There's no savings here, Tanya."
The fee is still charged. It just gets hidden in the price of everything else.

Replacement Migration
"In the three full years from 2023 to 2025, Australia’s net overseas migration reached almost 1.3 million, with more than 352,000 of those new arrivals settling in Sydney.
Over the same period, more than 113,000 people left Sydney for other parts of Australia, with the vast majority of that domestic migration loss coming from areas that absorbed the largest numbers of overseas migrants."

It’s like a compulsion for @AnikaWells isn’t it
Censorship has so many uses. Censor your political enemies. Censor your corruption. Grift taxpayers.
"Ms Wells’ airfares cost $34,427, while her deputy chief of staff’s flights cost $38,166, and an assistant secretary for Online Safety incurred $22,236.31 in airfares.
"It totalled $94,828.75 for the three travellers, while their accommodation cost almost $20,000."
These people really hate ordinary Australians. They steal the people's money so they can censor them! Insults upon injuries upon insults...

Oh, I’m sure you do.
I recommend this doco about the 'manosphere'. The intersection between the rise of misogyny & that of racism is disturbing but inevitable.

Can’t believe the kind of stuff the @eSafetyOffice is putting out:
According to the @eSafetyOffice you are a dangerous far right incel if you either A. hate women or B. are fiber-maxxing.

Konartist back to his Hellenic hysterics on LinkedIn.
With classic selective nostalgia that treats the post-war Greek migrant experience as proof that any immigration works the same way today.
Those parents succeeded under conditions of assimilation pressure, cultural and religious compatibility, labour demand, and a limited welfare state.
Konartist will never touch vagrant migrant NDIS fraud, the machete gangs crisis, the violence of migrant men, the jihadis who want to terrorise this country because it doesn’t raise funds for his vanity project NGO.

The reduction in homicide experienced by El Salvador is the most extreme fall ever recorded.
My latest article is about El Salvador.
The country has become safe--I've rigorously documented that and shown that every objection falls flat--but will that lead to growth?
Will El Salvador become rich?

Just caught up on Anika Wells’ National Press Club address on the Digital Duty of Care Bill. The lack of scrutiny from much of the Press Gallery was extraordinary.
Peter Hartcher fantasising about Truth Social falling foul of the bill. Dorothy Dixers from Karen Barlow, Josh Butler and Noah Secomb, among others. Sneering from the ABC’s Clare Armstrong at critics of the bill. Total sycophancy from Paul Karp.
Credit to Cam Reddin of News24, who actually pressed Wells on the powers the legislation would confer, rather than her stated intentions. Nick Newling and Ellen Ransley also asked some tough questions.
This is legislation that would give the government and its regulator significant powers over online platforms and, indirectly, lawful speech. That demands considerable scrutiny. Much of the questioning was more concerned with giving the minister opportunities to defend the bill and layups to attack its critics.
There are good journalists in the Press Gallery even if they are for the most part leftists. Do better guys.

In his defence, he was promised tax payer funded sex workers, and I can clearly see how he became confused with who that meant in Canberra.

This is the heart of Western migration policy.
The governing class engineers an unsustainable population intake while refusing to enforce basic assimilation.
Far-left groups don’t run these campaigns out of charity; they run them for recruitment. They need grievances to activate their base, fill volunteer rosters, find fresh meat for creepy sex pests, and stage this overly cringy moral theatre.
Smooth integration is lethal to them. If people assimilate and get on with their lives, the socialist movement loses its foot soldiers.
Meanwhile, the working-class Australian waiting fifteen years for public housing is told that their frustrations are a kaleidoscope of racism, while the migrant in the high-rise is told their host country hates them.
Both are deliberately turned against each other so neither looks at the institutional apparatus orchestrating the whole conflict.

It’s crazy they still do these stories when the journalists had their wages subsidised by taxpayers to the tune of $13,000 each for 12 months last year.

Mark Butler spills $1 billion a month in tobacco excise then demands cuts to health rebates for pensioners?
Butler is a hostage to his purse-lipped Karen bureaucrats, a "Good Boy" minister, zero exercise of judgement in his brain.

The Tulla was going to be toll free NOW. 2026, it was to be free if revenue targets were met. They were met. But Andrews and Transurban concocted a plan to extend tolls for 20 MORE YEARS. That plan was the WESTGATE TUNNEL, that Andrews got his mates to build. At original budget of 4 billion it was overpriced, but still came in at 11 BILLION, after Andrews mates built it as slow as humanly possible to extend the insane taxpayer funded wages as long as possible. If you go past it today, you will not see any vehicles enter because the exits make no sense. Andrews was warned about this before construction. He didn’t care because its construction made all his mates richer. And him too. If you vote Vic Labor on Nov28 after reading this far, and you aren’t in on the steal, why?
