According to Ed Husic, the Minister for Science, Indigenous Australians were “the nation’s first scientists”, whose insights, obtained “through observation, experimentation and analysis”, rested upon “the bedrock of the scientific method”. 

They were so advanced and knowledgeable yet could not work out how to boil water. Yes, for that you would need more science like knowing how to make metal containers, like indigenes elsewhere managed to do.

The resistance seems to be crumbling.
Army of 100 Navy SEALs Preparing to March on DC to Stop Lynching of Pete Hegseth – Report

@sav_says_
This morning Iowa Senator, Joni Ernst, made the horrible mistake of still refusing to confirm support of Pete Hegseth’s nomination. Since then we’ve discovered she:

-Voted to confirm Lloyd Austin for Secretary of Defense (responsible for the horrific Afghanistan withdrawal, enforced Biden’s unconstitutional military vaccine mandate, made our military an LGBTQ joke)
-Supports transgender soldiers in the military
-Votes with Democrats 38% of the time
-Called for the U.S. to send more money and weapons to Ukraine/called Zelensky an “inspirational leader”
-Had an affair with one of her servicemen while deployed, according to her divorce papers

She now has the full force of independent media, lawyers and political commentators on X planning to primary her in 2026.

Welcome to the new right.

GST, tax on super and negative gearing should debated, says independent MPGlenda Korporaal

Increases in the GST, taxes on superannuation and the potential abolition of negative gearing should be “on the table” for a discussion on tax reform in the next federal parliament, according to the independent member for Wentworth, Allegra Spender.
Speaking at a function in Sydney hosted by the Financial Services Council, Ms Spender, who represents the seat in Sydney’s eastern suburbs once held by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, said the tax system had not changed in any significant way since the introduction of the GST in 2000.
She said the system needed to be reformed to reduce the reliance on income tax to help young people, in particular, as they struggled to buy their own home and get ahead.
“We need a process around tax reform,” Ms Spender said.
“I don’t have any particular views on the answers, but I am saying that we need to put [proposals to increase taxes including the GST, superannuation and abolishing negative gearing] on the table and properly consider them. That’s what good policy making is about.”
In a wide-ranging interview, she said she was also concerned at this week’s report by accounting firm Deloitte into payments made by the $94bn construction industry superannuation fund Cbus to the CFMEU.
The report criticised Cbus for not having sufficient processes to ensure that payments of more than $900,000 in the last financial year to the union were in the best financial interests of members, as is required under superannuation legislation.
Ms Spender said people were worried about the reports about the lack of process in Cbus’s payments to the union.
“We have an extraordinary superannuation system, but we do need to have really high standards of governance (in the sector),” she said.
Super funds had “power in the economy which is almost unparalleled”.
Ms Spender was questioned on the details of her recently released green paper on tax reform that was prepared with assistance from the Grattan Institute.
If there was a hung parliament in the next election, she said she would insist on a commitment to consider tax reform as part of her support for a potential government.
Her comments come as eight independent federal members, including Ms Spender, have come together to call on the government to reduce the burden of the Fair Work Act on small business by raising the threshold for defining a small business from a ­maximum of 15 employees to 25 employees.
They argued that small businesses were already struggling under the burden of higher costs with those with 15 or more staff now faced with the same Fair Work rules as big companies.
The combined approach of the teals could also see a push for a debate on tax reform in the next parliament.
“We haven’t had any major tax reform since the turn of the century when we saw the introduction of the GST,” Ms Spender told the FSC on Thursday.
The GST was introduced at the rate of 10 per cent in July 2000 with successive governments ruling out proposals to increase it.
Ms Spender said she would like to see reforms to the tax system that would set Australia up “for the next generation”.
“We need to lower the taxes when people are working because young people are struggling to get ahead, they are struggling to buy a house, and trying to raise kids,” she said. “They are paying the greatest burden of tax at a time when they have the greatest calls on their finances.
“Those things are very expensive in their late 20s, 30s and 40s when they are paying so much tax.

“We really should be trying to rebalance the tax system.”
Ms Spender’s green paper canvasses a range of options to increase taxes to help pay for a lowering of income tax.
These include increasing the GST, increasing tax on superannuation and reducing tax incentives such as negative gearing for investors to buy houses.
The paper suggests negative gearing on houses could be kept for new houses.
It covers a range of other taxes, including removing the capital gains tax concessions, as well as introducing standard income tax deductions.
She said too many people today were having to have their tax returns done by tax agents, with many turning to them for support at a much higher level than in other countries overseas.
Ms Spender said she did not support the introduction of a tax on carbon. A tax on carbon was introduced by the Gillard government but abolished by the Abbott government.
She said Australia would have been better off had it retained the Gillard tax on carbon, which would have provided more incentive to accelerate the transition away from the nation’s dependence on fossil fuel.
“It would have been a cheaper (energy) transition, and we would be in a much better position now. But it would be too hard to wind everything back and introduce a tax on carbon because you would have to wind back things like the safeguards mechanism,” she said.
Ms Spender said she also supported reducing fuel tax concessions to raise revenue and discourage the production of greenhouse gases.
Her tax green paper, and the potential for a coalition of teals and independents in both houses of parliament to work together on tax reform in a potential minority government, signals increasing momentum for a debate on tax reform after the next election.
Ms Spender opposed the government’s proposed increase in the tax rate on super funds worth more than $3m in parliament this year. She said she had been opposed to the tax because it would have been levied on unrealised gains and not actual profits made in the fund.
“Tax on unrealised gains is bad policy,” she said.
But she did not rule out supporting higher taxes on superannuation, which is also flagged in the green paper.
Ms Spender said was not supporting any specific tax increase measures as she wanted them discussed as part of a broader debate on tax reform.
She said any discussion on tax reform should involve consultation with the community and should not just be a report into tax reform like the Henry Tax review in 2010 that did not involve community consultation.

I love the term ”tax reform”. 

It’s a synonym for wealth redistribution.

The only word any Australian should want to see adjacent to “tax” is “cuts.”

According to Ed Husic, the Minister for Science, Indigenous Australians were “the nation’s first scientists”, whose insights, obtained “through observation, experimentation and analysis”, rested upon “the bedrock of the scientific method”. 

Sooooo, where did “Eddles” get this info ..? .. As most of us are aware all traces of the across-the-board superiority in all fields of human endeavour that was the 251 “dreamtime” civilization compared to your average “whitie” nations was totally & utterly destroyed by the “scorched earth” policy of “Jimmy” Cook leaving nuttin’ except a few “stick figure” scratchings behind ..!

The UK has paused the closure of four ageing nuclear power plants amidst fears of looming blackouts:

‘We can’t achieve clean power by 2030 without nuclear, which provides an all-important steady supply of homegrown clean energy.

‘This will come alongside our backing for new nuclear including supporting the completion of Hinkley Point C, confirming £2.7bn for Sizewell C, and pressing on with contract negotiations for our small modular reactor competition,’ said Energy secretary Ed Miliband.

Meanwhile, the National Energy System Operator (NESO), which was set up by Mr Miliband to reach the net-zero goal, has said nuclear will be critical in weaning Britain off fossil fuels.

Uh oh…

Dim Chalmers has said he has full confidence in Albo’s leadership.

(Must be the only person in the country who does.)

TheirABC, also, doesn’t mention where this threat is coming from:

Five Eyes nations warn of ‘shocking’ rise in youth radicalisation – ABC News

I think the terror threat in Australia should be moved up from its current “probable” to “happening now” and “imminent.”

One only has to see what happened to the synagogue in Melbourne in the early hours today. That. Is. Terrorism.

Related note: Saw some interesting analysis by a guy on YouTube (a former Muesli) who said the internet is doing to Islam what the Gutenberg press did to Christianity (splintered it and made everyone able to question everything). Any Islamist can go to Amazon and see there are hundreds of (differing) versions of the Koran for example; which kinda proves its not God’s divine word, word-for-word.

Islam remains the fastest growing religion but it is all due to birth rates and not conversions. The analysis showed that whilst the Mueslis are having more kids in Western countries (about 2.5 in Europe), this is nowhere near the average of 7 kids in underdeveloped countries.

I mean, this is the excrement gifted to us by Albo the Grub, Pong, Labor, the Greens and all the rest of the progressive vomit class. They have actively fomented/instigated/incited/nurtured and succoured Jew hatred in this country. 
They bear personal responsibility for this.

And I certainly do not absolve Minns in any way. I believe this issue is the great Moral Issue of our day…..and he has failed it…..

Daniel Andrews, persona non grata…

One of Melbourne’s hospitality heavyweights says there would be ‘no chance in hell’ he would let Daniel Andrews eat at his bustling pub – making him the latest in a growing number of venue operators to blacklist the former Victorian Premier. 

Former AFL star Paul Dimattina, who runs popular South Melbourne venue Lamaro’s Hotel, said the former premier was ‘easily the most hated person’ in the Victoria as it is revealed multiple restaurant owners had refused service to Mr Andrews and his wife Cath.

‘No hope Andrews would get a seat at my pub,’ Mr Dimattina told Daily Mail Australia.

‘If he walked in and sat down… the Lamaro’s crowd would be disgusted if they saw him… Andrews is hated because of his whole anti-business stance.

‘The trail of destruction Andrews left is still being felt today, small businesses closed down, endless lockdowns, critical healthcare neglected, children missing out on school… he didn’t help anyone.

‘Mental health went downhill and now Andrews has a job in mental health if you can believe that.’

‘Business was decimated, the CBD is a ghost town, once thriving restaurants are boarded up, its the same at every high street, Chapel St, Lygon St, there’s empty businesses everywhere,’ he said.

‘What Andrews did is he made running a small business not an easy thing… he’d be better off leaving the state, I’m sure there’s some people who still love him, lefties and that, but he’s not welcome anywhere and we’ll all be better off without seeing him here.’

That statue might need a 24 hour security guard.

The IQ of this administration is going to be off the charts.

The things they could potentially achieve could be jus amazing. Picture a group of autists focused on tearing through the administrative state like a butcher in a slaughterhouse—efficient, relentless, and leaving no red tape untrimmed. That’s leaving aside the mass sackings.

“NSW Police will be increasing patrols and as well as high visibility taskings around keys places in Sydney. You deserve to feel safe in your own city.
Well, I suppose if I didn’t laugh I’d cry. But the thing is, none of this is funny. The usual pretty words from a pretty boy stooge. Minns waffles a good waffle but he doesn’t walk that waffle.

Generally, I like Minns. But on this matter, you are 100% right, Cassie.

I understand that he spoke well at a meeting with the Jewish community following the debacle at the Opera House. But he failed completely to follow up with any meaningful action that would inhibit the continuous Palestinian protests that Sydney, and especially our Jewish community, has had to endure.

That inaction has only encouraged the despicable placards and actions displayed in the continuous protests ever since. And even more odious is the repeated actions against solitary Jewish protesters by police.

Surely he and any sane people in his government must understand that the more concessions you give to fanatics the worse their behaviour becomes?
