HUGE MILESTONE REACHED... Labor have lost their lead Federally.
But... can you see the problem here?
Why are the L/NP neck-and-neck, but ON still behind on a Two Party Preferred basis?
Simple... it's because if One Nation candidates are eliminated (as in, a seat comes down to a Labor candidate, or an L/NP candidate as the final two) ON voters do a GOOD JOB of preferencing the L/NP above Labor, and that's what gets the L/NP a lot of their seats.
But when it's the reverse? When a seat comes down to Labor vs a One Nation candidate? Too many of the L/NP voters are actually putting LABOR ABOVE ONE NATION in their preferences!
The difference isn't actually Labor, the difference is the L/NP voters themselves!
If the Labor Party were to win an election... it would be BECAUSE OF L/NP VOTERS.
This is true federally as we see here... but it's ALSO true in the coming Victorian State Election, AND will be even MORE true in the NSW State Election next (for reasons I'll cover closer to that time!)
PREFERENCE DISCIPLINE MATTERS. If you're planning to vote L/NP, or you know people who are, help them understand that what they do with their PREFERENCES might be the difference between whether LABOR get back in, or not.
I said in my Marbles Video for the Vic Election LOWER HOUSE that what matters is the ORDER YOU PUT THE BIG 4:
ONE NATION
L/NP
LABOR
GREENS
OR if you're an L/NP voter:
L/NP
ONE NATION
LABOR
GREENS
If there's a STRONG independent then you need to pay attention to them too, and you can put whatever other parties you like inside that mix, but that ORDER matters. The future of Victoria, and in time, Australia, may depend on it!

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just offered the media a 1% cut of any fraud they expose, and it might be the funniest troll of the year.
Reporters can collect the same commission as everyone else, as long as their outlet signs off. Trump even joked that they might quit journalism because "this is too easy."
He also dropped this number: "Since I came into office, we've already uncovered $260 billion of fraud."
So here's the test for the legacy media. You can finally get paid for doing real journalism.
Let's see how many of them suddenly care about stolen taxpayer money.

So there you have it, folks. Australia's two biggest advocates for censorship, Prime Minister @AlboMP and @Greens leader @DavidShoebridge are completely hoisted by their own petard.

If Fauci goes to prison, Adam Schiff gets raided and Ilhan Omar gets deported, I just might start believing in the justice system again.

Everything is so expensive because a small number of honest, hard-working citizens are paying for an increasing tide of lazy, greedy, entitled brats.

🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance just confirmed Nick Shirley is getting paid for exposing the fraud.
Vance said Shirley has done more than anybody he's met recently as a citizen journalist, and that he's "going to get a financial reward" for it.
Then he spoke straight to the American people: "Your tax dollars are being stolen, and your tax dollars are being stolen for programs that help feed the needy."
That's what makes this so disgusting. They didn't just rob the government. They robbed hungry kids and struggling moms.
Vance says it's stopping. If you help stop it, you get paid too.
Fraudsters, your time is up.

Someone asked what was the best way to get hired by a startup. I told him it was to start one and then hire himself.
The cost of infrastructure should not be a measure. The measure should be the value the cost has delivered. What has been delivered for that cost?
Victorians are the most pessimistic taxpayers in the country, with just a quarter believing the state is going in the right direction and a bare majority satisfied with the infrastructure — even after billions of dollars have been spent > bit.ly/4BaqQv3

Censorship has so many uses. Censor your political enemies. Censor your corruption. Grift taxpayers.
"Ms Wells’ airfares cost $34,427, while her deputy chief of staff’s flights cost $38,166, and an assistant secretary for Online Safety incurred $22,236.31 in airfares.
"It totalled $94,828.75 for the three travellers, while their accommodation cost almost $20,000."
These people really hate ordinary Australians. They steal the people's money so they can censor them! Insults upon injuries upon insults...

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.
I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.
And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

If there was ever confirmation Australian Mainstream Media is an absolute swamp of shit that is only further confirmed today by @BrendenHills
You really think I'm bouncing a ball in my backyard?
You really think I'd bother going to the Police if this just involved me?
Linking me being 2m tall to going to the Police is meant to infer what? That I can't handle myself?
Or maybe, just maybe its an 8 year old child.
And maybe, just maybe a neighbour stabbed an 8 year olds Basketball with a knife, then throw it at their head whilst they were in their own backyard and then further threatened a 8 year old child. Amazing what cameras pickup right?
Read that again.
"Bouncing a ball for hours" is also horrifically incorrect - but I get it you must sell clicks and sensationalise things.
Maybe next time before going for the ''front page scoop'', attend the court hearing, which is only next week, and you will can see for yourself the details instead of running with absolute diarrhoea. But this would imply journalistic integrity.
No wonder the Australian Government needs to fund you muppets.
When the future is here, but your customers live in the past, you have to fake the future to feel like the past.

Let's talk about MISINFORMATION and FAKE NEWS, Anika Wells - Minister for Communication.
You said at the National Press Club - and stated as a position of fact:
"...where a billionaire can buy a platform and strip it of moderation."
This is very clearly a reference to @elonmusk purchasing Twitter.
You are a government minister proposing some of the largest fines in the history of social media - and yet you are beginning your objective from a position of untruth.
Twitter - now X - was NOT 'stripped of moderation'.
X has - and has always had - one of the stricter and more responsive systems of automatic and user-reported community safety guidelines in the industry.
X responds faster to complaints than the government - that's for sure.
None of these systems disappeared. None of them vanished.
To imply that X has been 'stripped of moderation' is to spread misinformation about an individual, their intent, and the company activity for the purpose of justifying a new law with severe financial consequences.
What did Elon Musk do that upset the Australian government so much?
He made public the previously secret 'takedown orders' made during the Covid pandemic which robbed victims of government policy of their voice. The Australian government - quite literally - tried to silence the injured and bereaved. The government tried to silence information and scientists who disagreed with a political policy that cost lives, broke privacy laws, broke human rights norms, and forever crippled the economy.
The government leaned on social media - threatened social media - and made social media complicit in HIDING the serious consequences of their Covid and Climate Change policies.
A relationship they obviously want to re-establish via the coercive force of fines.
In other words, Elon Musk embarrassed the government and exposed censorial demands that go against public expectation. And the government want it stopped.
Elon Musk also removed OVERT POLITICAL CENSORSHIP that had been silencing conservatives online and removing criticism of progressive and left-wing policy and narratives. That is - and in particular - he removed Covid, Climate Change, and biological censorship that was corrupting the truth with political propaganda.
Musk REMOVED a layer of political influence from X and in doing so left-wing governments around the world immediately had an angry public on their hands and the consequences are being felt at elections.
Anika Wells should be forced to RETRACT and APOLOGISE for her comments and the untruth that she said in front of the National Press Gallery while speaking from a position of power.
And if not, let's hope Elon Musk can use this against the Australian government in the future.
