Tell Albo that men cannot be women.

Sall Grover was fined $20,000 for saying it. Kirralie Smith was fined $95,000 for saying it.

Both cases arose under Labor’s S*x Discrimination Act, which includes protections relating to gender identity.

Labor wrote the law.
Labor enforces the law.

The law is now being used to punish people for stating that a man is not a woman.

It’s time to put the definitions of “man” and “woman” back into federal law.

Federal Labor won’t defend Australian women.

It’s time to change the law.

Jasmine is being dragged into court after criticising trans activists and defending what she says is a simple biological fact:

Men can’t breastfeed.

She’s a breastfeeding counsellor with 15 years of experience.

Now her life has been turned upside down. She was stood down from her role, publicly criticised, and is now facing legal action alleging she incited hatred.

Cancel culture has no place in Australia.

It’s time to protect free speech and biological reality.

The Labor Union Party

Looking at the backgrounds of Labor’s Federal ministers answers a lot of questions.

The overwhelming majority came from unions, political offices, government departments, policy jobs or law before entering Parliament.

* Anthony Albanese – bank officer, research officer, Labor Party official, political adviser.
* Richard Marles – solicitor, union legal officer, union assistant secretary.
* Penny Wong – union industrial officer, policy adviser, barrister.
* Jim Chalmers – research officer, political adviser, chief of staff; later Executive Director of the Chifley Research Centre and politics tutor.
* Katy Gallagher – social worker, union organiser.
* Tony Burke – political staffer, union organiser, training business director.
* Mark Butler – union legal officer, union secretary.
* Chris Bowen – union industrial officer, political adviser.
* Catherine King – social worker, public servant.
* Amanda Rishworth – retail worker, union organiser, psychologist.
* Jason Clare – political adviser, union legal officer.
* Michelle Rowland – lawyer, policy adviser.
* Tanya Plibersek – domestic violence policy officer, political staffer.
* Pat Conroy – union policy officer, political adviser.
* Murray Watt – union organiser, political adviser.
* Madeleine King – lawyer, union legal officer.
* Clare O’Neil – public servant, management consultant.
* Anne Aly – academic, counter-terrorism researcher.
* Tim Ayres – union organiser, union secretary.
* Matt Keogh – lawyer, Army reservist.

Very few have experience running a business, creating jobs, meeting a payroll or carrying the financial risks faced by everyday Australians in the private sector.

Most of their careers have been spent in public service, unions, or political roles—where the pressures of running tight budgets, improving productivity, and surviving competition in the private sector aren’t the same as they are in business.

Whether you support Labor or not, it’s a fair question to ask how a Cabinet dominated by union, political and government career backgrounds can fully understand the pressures facing small business owners, tradies, farmers and other Australians who work outside government and politics.

Their career paths speak for themselves.

WAKE THE FARK UP, AUSTRALIA.

Written by Perth View.

Australians are sick of it.

Families are struggling. Small businesses are closing. Farmers are under pressure. People are sleeping in cars, living in tents and skipping meals.

Yet governments continue to find money for overseas commitments while many Australians feel they are being left behind.

The question Australians are asking is simple:

Where is the accountability for OUR money?

Tax dollars come from Australian workers, families and businesses.

That money is collected to build this country, support Australians and secure our future.

Government is not the owner of that money. Government is the caretaker.

Whether it is called foreign aid, a grant, a loan guarantee or funding delivered through another organisation, it all comes from the same place — Australian taxpayers.

The label does not change the responsibility.

Australians deserve to know who approved the spending, why it was needed and what limits exist.

Just recently:

* $1 billion committed to Fiji.
* 56 million Solomon Islands dollars in development funding.
* Hundreds of millions in funding, grants and taxpayer-backed support involving India.

And that is only part of the picture.

Australia has also committed significant support connected to countries and regions including Ukraine, Afghanistan and the Palestinian Territories.

The issue is not simply whether Australia should help other nations.

The question is:

Who decides how much Australian taxpayers can afford to spend, and where are the limits?

Because right now, many Australians feel there is no real accountability.

When governments are questioned, Australians often hear “we will take that on notice”, “I don’t recall” or “I don’t have that information.”

When billions of dollars are being committed, Australians deserve clear answers.

Transparency is not optional. Accountability is not optional.

India is a perfect example of why Australians are asking questions.

India is a rising global powerhouse with a massive economy, advanced industries and growing influence around the world.

Australians are asking why hundreds of millions of dollars in support, grants and guarantees are being committed overseas while Australians at home are struggling with housing, bills and the cost of living.

Australia is also facing a housing shortage.

While Australians need more homes, the Government is looking overseas for solutions, including discussions around Indian construction companies and Indian workers building Australian homes.

Australians are asking why the first priority is not backing Australian builders, Australian trades and Australian businesses.

Our construction industry is already under pressure from rising costs, regulation and delays.

Before looking overseas, the Government should be removing the barriers that stop Australian companies from building the homes Australia needs.

And let’s not forget uranium.

Australia is opening the door for uranium exports to India’s civilian nuclear energy program, while Australians are told to accept higher electricity costs and a different energy path.

That is where many Australians see the hypocrisy.

Australia needs an independent taxpayer accountability department.

Not controlled by Labor.

Not controlled by Liberal.

Independent.

Before any Government commits Australian taxpayer money overseas, it should have to apply for approval and justify the decision.

It should have to explain:

• Why the money is needed.
• How much it will cost.
• What benefit it provides.
• Why Australian taxpayers should fund it.

Foreign spending needs a clear budget, a spending ceiling and proper oversight.

Your taxes are YOUR MONEY.

They are not a blank cheque for politicians to spend without limits.

Every dollar comes from Australians who work, pay taxes and keep this country running.

The Government is the custodian of that money, and with that responsibility comes an obligation to justify every dollar spent.

Australians deserve transparency.

Australians deserve accountability.

Because at the end of the day, it is not the Government’s money to give away.

It belongs to the Australian people.

For more than 200 years, brumbies have lived in Australia’s high country. They carried explorers, stockmen, soldiers and settlers. They helped build this nation through their strength, endurance and resilience. Their blood and sweat are woven into Australia’s history.

Today, they are being slaughtered under the claim they are an “invasive species.”

I disagree.

A brumby is not a w**d. It is not a feral pig destroying wetlands or a fox wiping out native wildlife. It is a large grazing animal that has been part of the Australian landscape for generations.

Wild horses are hindgut fermenters, biologically designed to consume dry, coarse grasses and other vegetation. An adult horse can eat around 13–14 kilograms of grass and forage every day. That’s close to 5 tonnes of fine fuel removed by a single horse each year—naturally and at no cost to taxpayers.

Their grazing helps keep grass growth in check, their manure returns nutrients to the soil and disperses seeds, and their constant movement across the landscape contributes to natural grazing patterns that humans spend millions of dollars trying to recreate with machinery, herbicides and controlled burns.

This isn’t just theory.

China has invested in breeding and reintroducing Przewalski’s horses into their native grasslands, recognising that large grazing animals are part of healthy grassland ecosystems and natural ecological processes.

Around the world, land managers are increasingly recognising that well-managed grazing animals can help maintain landscapes, reduce grass build-up and improve ecosystem function. Australia should be asking whether brumbies can be part of the solution—not assuming they are always the problem.

For generations, bushmen, stockmen and people who have lived and worked in the High Country understood the value of grazing animals on the land. Practical knowledge built over decades deserves to be heard alongside scientific research, not dismissed because it doesn’t come from an office in Canberra.

The answer isn’t helicopters and bullets.

The answer is honest science, practical land management and a willingness to consider all the evidence—not just the evidence that supports one predetermined outcome.

Brumbies are part of Australia’s heritage. They are part of our history. They are part of the High Country.

It’s time we stopped treating them as nothing more than a pest and started asking what role they can play in caring for the land they have called home for over two centuries.
