How do you tax small businesses up to 77% and expect the economy to survive, Jim?
Your toxic taxes will cost Aussies their jobs and destroy our way of life.
We will axe them all.

✨ 2,000 year old jewel-coloured Roman glass cup to brighten the day! ✨
Made of ‘ribbon’ technique mosaic glass, this lovely vessel is a wonderful example of the creativity and skill of ancient glassmakers.

ALT My photo shows a small hemisperical glass cup composed of blue, yellow, green, white and red bands of glass. This type of ancient glass is known as 'ribbon mosaic' as it looks like a series of coloured ribbons. The cup has a yellow rim. Displayed on a light surface against a light background.

Today the Minister was asked in the House of Lords to explain why the UK directly or implicitly backed Iran’s election to the body that sets UN priorities for a women’s rights and counter terrorism
She flat refused to say if the UK voted against the decision. So at this stage we can only assume.
But we do know that the UK, as part of the committee that nominates countries for seats on this body, joined the consensus that nominated Iran. And it was that nomination that facilitated the wider vote that took place yesterday where Iran was elected.
I was unable to put the point to the Minister myself, despite trying. But numerous others did. And there was no answer. So we will need to apply more pressure.
-The govt must state how the UK voted (Canada has stated publicly that it voted against. So why won’t the UK?)
-And it must explain why the UK did not object to Iran’s earlier nomination.
This won’t go away.
Unbelievably, Iran (yes, Iran) has just been elected to the UN Committee that sets the priorities for women’s rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. This, the country with an almost uniquely violent record of brutalising women, executing peaceful female protesters and of course sponsoring very widespread terrorism.
Equally unbelievably, the UK nominated Iran and although the voting is secret, we must assume it subsequently voted for Iran in the General Assembly. This is the same UK that is nominally run by PM Andy Burnham who declared only a few weeks ago that “we will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them.”
If the young women of Iran who dare to remove their headscarves, or sing, or engage in peaceful protest to press for basic democracy aren’t the underdog in their battle with a vicious and murderous regime… who then is an underdog?
I can’t exaggerate how ashamed I am of my country. I’m sickened and repulsed by what it has become. I barely recognise it. Burnham should hang his head in utter shame.
And as for the UN, it has come to embody institutional corruption and gaslighting on a global scale.
It put China, Qatar and Cuba in charge of the body charged with protecting human rights worldwide.
It put China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan (all of which crush/ban NGOs in their own countries) in charge of the body that decides which civil-society groups and NGOs get UN accreditation and access.
It put Syria (under Assad) in charge the body that promotes education, culture, and press freedom.
How long must this continue? The UN has no credibility whatsoever and should be stripped back to the basics- a debating chamber for the big global issues of the day. And nothing more.
How can anyone defend this?

I am a 23-year-old meteorologist.
Greta Thunberg and I are the same age.
Despite having solid credentials, climate alarmists routinely criticize me because I don’t subscribe to their religion of doom. They say, “Chris is a kid and therefore he isn’t qualified to discuss climate change or advise lawmakers and world leaders.”
Yet, climate panic merchants have no problem with Thunberg, a climate activist with zero college education or training in meteorology and climate dynamics, advising world leaders.
Climate alarmists only care about one’s credentials if you are against their creed.

Every Labor MP deserves to lose their seat in Victoria. Put Labor last on preferences. Don’tbe conned by Greens or Teals how to vote cards, they both will enable Labor’s further destruction of Victoria. Any candidate who doesn’t want Labor last, doesn’t deserve your vote.
The CFMEU is who governs Labor not the other way around. The below are quotes from those that had to work with the state government and the unions.
The document also detailed how the
CFMEU played a "critical role" in the state election, both "organisationally and financially".
"It is worth noting the significance of the CFMEU's relationship with the Andrews government in Victoria and the impact this is having and will have in the future with respect to client relationships with the Victorian government," the memo said.
