Some long overdue fact checking. Someone should tell the prophets of gloom in the opposition.

How super strengthens Australian democracy

Before I was a politician, I was a day labourer. For many of my older co-workers, after four decades on a building site, the pension was hardly something to look forward to. The superannuation savings...

Liberals are some of the dumbest people on the face of the earth.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

Or perhaps if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em?

The thing is, for Abbott to lead again, he first needs to be elected to parliament by his constituents. Something he failed to accomplish last time he ran. Price once again demonstrating mastery of the topic.🙄

Yep pretty much what I was expecting. Just kick the can down the road. Now all those who continue to screech about the “duopoly” and that there’s no difference between the ALP and LNP, what do you have to say?

In the unlikely event that Trump were to be given the Nobel Peace Prize the odds are that as soon as he has the medal in his tiny hands and the money in his bank account, Netanyahu will say, "OK, you got what you wanted. You owe me. Now I am going to bomb what's remaining of Gaza."

In 1997 then “geniuses” treasurer Costello & PM Howard sold off our gold reserves.
Gold sold: 167 tonnes
-Proceeds received in 1997: AUD $2.4 billion

-If we still owned that gold today (spot price ≈ AUD $6,054.50/troy ounce, 7 Oct 2025):
≈ AUD $32.51 billion.

👉🏻We’d be $30+billion richer today.
