Remembering the 60 sports celebrities who ‘spontaneously’ demanded the Royal Commission which quickly became a Zionist propaganda whinge-fest. Perhaps now a few will come clean about the pressure, incentives and gaslight that was brought to bear?

Barnaby is a trained accountant. His avoiding the inflationary impact of super-in-hand is less about ignorance, and more about belligerence and contempt for voters that One Nation has modelled on the Paedophile-in-Chief.

Hawke/Keating superannuation policies were central to wage restraint. Inflation was eased, retirements were bolstered, National Savings and international competitiveness improved. Anyone saying ‘it's your money -spend it’ is pissing in your pocket and telling you it's raining.

The politicising of potholes is another ‘Reform UK’ strategy, where low information voters are told simple stories - “Look at the potholes-the establishment has failed you.” In reality, right-wing parties cut infrastructure maintenance and push responsibilty onto LGAs.

Pauline Hanson has successfully transformed migration policy from a routine tool of economic policy into a nasty scapegoat for every grievance. The ‘debate’ itself is a win for racism, and for the sensation seeking media so earnestly feeding off it.

We never imagined how far that dream would travel, into homes, into hearts, into the way generations imagined what we could still become. In a world that often feels as divided as ever, maybe that's exactly why we need it now: a reminder that unity was always the point.

CORRUPT Trump had the official White House January 6 website recast a deadly attack on the Capitol as a “peaceful protest,” blamed police for “escalating,” and turned convicted rioters into the victims. The DOJ even stripped old Jan. 6 case releases off its own site.

The collapse of international reputation is often not the result of a single politician, but rather the combined effect of the entire system and the silent majority. Yes, this time we are in trouble. It's entirely thanks to our current "great president."

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one
