Over the past few months, One Nation has had a member of staff physically assaulted and now a volunteer hospitalised. In addition to this, there has been a steady stream of vile threats. No other political party has been on the receiving end of such abuse. Sadly, this won’t stop elements of the left-liberal establishment from trying to link us to the increase in violence in Australian democracy. You also can’t escape the impression that some hold the view that somehow violence towards a One Nation representative is less reprehensible than violence towards anyone else.
It doesn’t matter the political colour. All violence in politics should be condemned equally. Colleen is right to call this out.

For nearly two decades, Australia’s politicians and bureaucrats have struggled to deliver strong productivity growth and rising living standards. Instead, they have largely relied on population growth to increase the size of the economy.
This demonstrates a serious lack of skill. So, in this case, perhaps we should look overseas for people who have the skills we need. Fifty really sharp operators should suffice.
I have a suggestion about where to look: #Taiwan.

“We need to voice the real stories of the people.”
Young (Choi Geum-hyeong), a North Korean defector who resettled in Australia, explains why those who have experienced communist oppression must speak out and share the realities of life under oppressive regimes.

Taxation
We should tax the things we don’t want, not merely to raise revenue. So don’t tax working hard, tax consumption so excessive consumption doesn’t occur. Don’t tax saving. Taxation is currently too high because government spending is too high.

Patrick Stewart, the man who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and then went on to X-Men with Hugh Jackman and his old comrade-in-arms Ian McKellen, has died in Los Angeles, of Alzheimer’s and Lewy body dementia, at the age of 86.
He was a superb actor but the funny thing about his acting career was that he used his somewhat belated popular visibility as a way of conquering the peaks of the classical theatre that might have eluded him.
By the time we saw him do Pinter’s The Caretaker in New York in 2003 in a production with Kyle MacLachlan and Aidan Gillen he was already a distinguished stage actor but it had been a while coming despite his steadiness and splendour in a great range of roles.

Completely hypothetical question: Suppose that someone today started a new religion that condoned pedophilia, viewed women as inferior, despised everyone who was not of their religion, hated dogs, desired to conquer every inch of the world, hated our culture, civilization, and heritage, was astoundingly illiberal, cut off the clitorises of five-year-old girls, along with 1,000,000 other pieces of evidence that were contrary to every one of your liberal values. Would you think it ok to ban it or should it be granted full freedom to take over our society?

Stop giving us lies, damned lies and bogus statistics
It's not surprising that trust in politicians has plummeted when a cavalcade of fallacies had been pushed onto the public by the political class in recent years.

We read this week that public trust in politicians and political parties is sliding ever downwards.
The McKinnon Institute annual survey found that fewer than a third of us now have faith in our federal politicians and trust in political parties has fallen to below *25%.
In a neat coincidence, this was the same week we heard our Prime Minister and Treasurer repeatedly insist their budgets, which contain record-breaking levels of spending, have delivered “savings”.
As the spending increases, #deficits mount and #debt mounts, #AnthonyAlbanese and #JimChalmers boast of their “savings”.

ALP say they are seeking cuts ‘from all departments’ for the next budget update

The paranoia around holding #cryptocurrency is well founded.
In essence, they are just digital currencies which are incredibly hard to trace. You can follow the transactions, but you don’t know the identity of who owns them.
Funds can be moved around multiple times a minute and easily swapped between different currencies, all with no checks.
If you have the encryption keys to a crypto wallet, you have complete ownership of its funds. If you lose access, you can’t get them back. Crypto’s zero-sum game has made it more lucrative to international gangs and rogue states – and increasingly they are willing to be violent to get it.

Two Muslim cops in New York stopped a nurse for no apparent reason other than that she was walking her dog.
They cornered her and threatened to seize her dog. When confronted, they got angry and couldn’t say what law she had broken.
This is what happens when you give these people power. All I can say is that she was lucky there were passersby, because it was 3 AM and things could’ve ended much worse.

On November 7th, 1920, a mass spectacle was put on in the Soviet Union called "The Storming of the Winter Palace" attempting to show heroism of revolutionaries taking the palace in a fierce fight. Like most Soviet propaganda it was...bovine fecal matter. In reality, the revolutionaries had faced almost no resistance.
