This conversation has generated a fair bit of conversation so I think it’s worth elaborating on. There is a common misconception that superannuation is decreasing the number of retirees on the pension. As per ASFA figures attached in comments - the median balance for men and women aged 60-64 is $220k and $164k respectively. That is nowhere near enough to get off the full pension which starts to reduce when a home owning single person has assets of $321k. The pension cuts out entirely if a home owning single person has assets of $714k. In other words, well over half of people about to retire have barely half the level of assets needed to get off the full pension. This is worse than when Superannuation began in 1992 when 77% of retirees were receiving a pension. 50% were receiving a full pension and 27% were receiving a part pension. Furthermore as per the ABS figures attached in comments below, 40% of people now retiree with a mortgage up from 10% in 1992. These figures are over five years old so the figure is probably worse. That means that most people have to cash in their super when they retire to pay off their mortgage and then go onto the pension anyway. Then there is the whole return on investment scenario - if house prices are growing the same as or faster than superannuation returns, then yet again it becomes a false economy. In other words Superannuation is not achieving its stated aim. The Productivity Commission estimates the cost of running Superannuation is around 1% of funds under management or $40 billion per year. Australia doesn’t need more financial engineers in this country, we need real engineers building real assets not paper assets. Nor should we be investing superannuation money overseas in foreign infrastructure when our own country desperately needs more infrastructure investment.

David Andersen is in the news again today because it was revealed in Senate estimates the ABC spent $45,000 on his going away party. That’s too much for sure but it still pales into insignificance compared to the over $400,000 he will receive every year in retirement until he dies. If he lives to 86, he will be paid more than $12 million for doing nothing. Not bad coin for someone who was already paid over a million a year for 5 years at the ABC. PeopleFirst is the only party that intends to means test the non-military defined benefit scheme for retired Federal bureaucrats. Estimates from the Finance Department put the cost of this scheme at $334 billion and counting. PeopleFirst intends to use the savings to fund an income tax cut on wages and salaries below $45,000. To keep more money in your pocket and out of the pockets of bureaucrats please sign up to today. ••••••••••••••••• “At senate estimates in December, ABC's chief financial officer Melanie Kleyn sought to assuage Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson's disbeliet that a farewell party could cost over $45,000.” V “Outgoing ABC managing director David Anderson will remain one of the country's highest earners for the rest of his life despite quitting his $1.15million job – all thanks to you. According to the ABC's annual report from the 2022-23 financial year, the corporation's top executive received a total remuneration package of $1,156,969, increasing year-on-year by $120,000. Under the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme, Mr Anderson, who first joined the public broadcaster as a bike courier in Adelaide in 1989 and enjoyed a 35-year career at the ABC, is entitled to an annual CPI-indexed pension of at least 37 per cent of his final salary. That would put the outgoing ABC boss's total taxpayer-funded annual pension at almost $430,000 – more than four-and-a-half times the nation's average income.”

BREAKING: David david friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt" "People don't realize how screwed California is, & I worry that if California falls, so does the union. "$250 billion to $1 trillion short." "This is because for California to get rescued would be a big cost to red states, & I think it creates in the years ahead a lot of tension." "California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country. & I think we need to figure out what we can change to fix it." How we got here: "California has a public pension system, & that public pension system retirees have paid into it & they get some benefits out, & the amount that they're owed back out is somewhere between $250 billion - $1 trillion dollars more than has been paid in. $250 billion to $1 trillion short. If it was the federal government, it would be like, okay, we'll just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits. There is a Supreme Court case in California that said that once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits. It has to stay forever, and the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it. No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California. So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services."

Big Tech just forced the US government into bailing ITSELF out. This morning the US Treasury announced it will at least double the size of its own bond buybacks, because for two months almost nobody else wanted them. The 30-year Treasury bond hit its highest yield since 2007 last Thursday, then did it again yesterday. The long end has been in a buyers' strike since late June, meaning the pension funds and insurers who normally absorb 20 and 30 year government paper stopped showing up. This morning it auctioned $16 billion of 20-year debt at the second-worst yield since that bond was reintroduced in 2020. So the Treasury tore up a schedule it had published two weeks earlier. It doubled the maximum size of each long-bond buyback from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, and went from two operations a quarter to four. The 30-year yield fell 9 basis points within minutes. Stocks rallied. By early afternoon the 10-year had given almost all of it back. BUT the thing is, this operation changes almost nothing, because the underlying problem is untouched: The tidal wave of hyperscaler debt sitting on top of very large government deficits. Hyperscaler means Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and Nvidia. The Wall Street Journal went through the footnotes of 9 tech companies' filings on Sunday and found roughly $3 TRILLION in AI commitments sitting outside their balance sheets. That is 5x the $600 billion of capital spending those same companies reported over the past year. Alphabet alone discloses $811 billion in purchase and contractual obligations. Three months earlier it was $332 billion. All of it has to be funded somewhere. And this is where it collides with the government: Data centers, chip supply agreements and 20-year power contracts are long-duration assets, and long-duration assets get financed with long-duration debt. That is the exact product the US Treasury sells. There is a finite pool of investors willing to lend money for 30 years at a fixed rate. That pool does not get bigger because Meta needs another campus in Louisiana. So when the largest companies in history issue hundreds of billions of long-dated debt at the same moment the Treasury needs to roll a national debt approaching $40 trillion, both sides are bidding for the SAME buyers. One of those bidders can offer whatever yield it takes and book it as growth. The other one is the US government, and this morning it folded. Treasury does not create money for these buybacks. It funds them by issuing shorter-dated debt instead, so the obligation does not disappear. It gets pulled closer to the present, to be refinanced at whatever rate exists in a year or two. The government is buying back the debt nobody wants by selling more of the debt people still take. The 30-year Treasury yield is the number that prices your mortgage. The average 30-year fixed sits at 6.67% today. But there IS a real argument on the other side: Buybacks are routine, and $4 billion is nothing against a $30 trillion market. Plenty of serious people will call today housekeeping. But housekeeping shouldn’t require tearing up your own published schedule two weeks after you release it. The AI buildout is now financed at a scale that competes with sovereign borrowing, and the sovereign is losing bidders. Nobody voted on that, and people will pay for it in their mortgage rate long before anyone calls it a crisis. What do you think?

#WATCH | Delhi | On Supreme Court grants full pension to women SSC Officers denied permanent commission, Advocate SS Pandey says, “Today, Supreme Court has passed a historical order, the bench was presided by the CJI, in respect of women officers of all the three services – Army, Navy and Air Force. The SC has recognised the fact that since women officers were not being considered for PC, the inputs to derive the merits of the women officers have not been done properly because the reporting officers were not conscious of the fact that these Annual Confidential Reports and other credentials would be used for consideration of PC for the women officers… In the Army, the SC has already found that the women officers have been subjected to systemic discrimination through the cases of Babita Punia and Nitisha… The SC clearly held that all those officers who have completed 60% of qualifying service and were clear from the PC and vigilance angle will be considered and granted PC. The officers who have been victims of systemic discrimination will be permitted to serve for 20 years and will be given a pension on completion of 20 years… In the Air Force’s case, the consideration denied earlier was based on a 2019 policy in which the inputs that were taken into consideration were those that women officers could not have earned during their service. As a result, they were denied PC. Both the male and female officers have been granted consideration for PC or pension… The same goes with the Navy because it was also following a policy of no PC to either men or women… They have also been considered for PC… “

.Rwanda Social Security Board and our favorite artist The Ben joined Umuganura celebration in the Nordics, making the event even more memorable! Rwandans living in #Finland, #Denmark, #Norway and #Sweden couldn’t have asked for a better Umuganura! Over 500 Rwandans from across the Nordic countries gathered in Norway to celebrate Umuganura : Rwanda’s National Harvest , alongside members of the diplomatic corps accredited to Norway and the vibrant African diaspora. This year’s Umuganura was the best ever ! A powerful celebration of culture, unity, and Rwanda’s forward-looking vision. A standout moment was the engagement with Alain Ngirinshuti from Rwanda Social Security Board who flew in from Rwanda to share two groundbreaking government initiatives: -Housing Projects , designed to give every Rwandan a dignified place to call home. - Ejo Heza , an innovative long-term savings scheme that enables all Rwandans, including children, to secure futures through voluntary savings and pension benefits. These initiatives reflect the Government of Rwanda ’s bold and inclusive approach to nation-building, ensuring that no one is left behind , not even abroad. The celebration was elevated by an electric performance from our favorite artist The Ben, alongside beautiful Rwandan community in the Nordics’ traditional cultural groups who reminded us of the richness of our heritage. This Umuganura wasn’t just a harvest celebration. it was a testament to progress, purpose, and pride in being Rwandan.

🚨 WARNING: TOMORROW WILL BE THE WORST DAY OF 2026!! 99% of people will lose everything. You MUST read this before August 31. → Japan is dumping $5.25 TRILLION in U.S. Treasuries → China is dumping $600 BILLION in U.S. Treasuries The U.S. just confirmed the crisis is real, and DOUBLED buybacks to cover the damage. If you own any assets today, you need to understand this: Japan and China are forcing capital back into their countries. And the biggest carry trade in history is now starting to unwind, with devastating consequences. This is NOT a normal market correction. For decades, Japan kept interest rates near zero, turning the yen into the world's cheapest funding currency. Investors borrowed trillions of yen and poured that money into U.S. Treasuries, stocks, real estate, crypto, and markets around the world. But now, the Japan trade is breaking apart: → Soaring government debt → Rapidly aging population → Massive pension obligations → Years of pressure from a weak yen And now, China is adding another layer of pressure to the U.S. Treasury market. China has been steadily reducing its holdings of U.S. Treasuries. Chinese Treasury holdings just fell to $633 BILLION, the lowest level since 2008. At the same time, China continues to build its gold reserves in a bold move. The implications are clear: → U.S. Treasury holdings decrease → Gold holdings increase → Demand for U.S. debt weakens → Pressure on Treasury yields increases Japan and China were both among the major sources of the latest decline in foreign Treasury holdings. And when two of the world's biggest holders reduce their exposure at the same time... Someone else has to absorb that supply, which means higher yields are required to attract buyers. The 30-year Treasury yield recently pushed above 5.3%, reaching levels not seen since 2007. The U.S. Treasury is now forced to buy back its own debt because no one else wants it. And that's a desperate move with catastrophic consequences. This creates another feedback loop: → Higher U.S. yields increase the cost of financing the enormous U.S. government debt load → Higher Japanese yields make Japanese assets more attractive → China's diversification adds another structural source of pressure to the Treasury market Pay attention, because most people won't understand why markets are collapsing until it's already happening. I’ve studied markets for over 12 years and have called nearly every major top and bottom. And I'm warning you now. If you want to survive the 2026-2027 cycle, follow and turn on notifications. A lot of people will wish they had paid attention earlier.

People are drowning in debt “Australia’s retirement system has been based on the presumption that the overwhelming majority of people would own their homes outright upon retirement. However, due to declining homeownership rates, Australians buying homes later, and carrying larger mortgages into retirement, that assumption is clearly crumbling. Westpac notes that people over the age of 40 accounted for around 20% of mortgage loans issued to first-home buyers in 2025. As a result of people purchasing later and taking out larger mortgages, Loan Market Group has found that 40% of respondents do not expect to have paid off their mortgages by the time they retire. This analysis aligns with warnings from the Super Members Council of Australia, which estimated that more than 40% of Australians will retire with mortgage debt, up from 16% two decades ago.” ••••••••••••••••••••••••• People First has been the only party talking about the fact that 40% of people who retiree haven’t paid off their mortgage. This figure is based from ABS numbers now five years old so the figures are probably worse. These people end up cashing out their super and going on the pension this wasting billions on Superannuation fees for nothing. No other party wants to tackle our financial system except People First. We will: • Reintroduce capital controls to stop house inflation • Bring back a public bank • Start an Infrastructure Bank • Bring back a Government Insurance Office • Allow young people to keep their superannuation so they can buy a house • Cut immigration It’s time to put the Australian People First.
