Is Australia becoming Britain? 🇦🇺📉 Australia’s quietly walking the same path Britain went down — real wages going backwards, productivity flat, and growth per person almost non-existent. Too much state accumulation and not enough wealth creation doesn’t protect living standards… it slowly sends them down the gurgler. This is... show more

When we came to office, inflation was higher and rising, interest rates were going up, real wages and living standards were falling, and Australia was already on track to hit a trillion dollars of debt. Now inflation is down, real wages and living standards are growing again, unemployment is low, we’ve got the debt down, interest rates are going down and growth is rebounding solidly in our economy. This puts us in good stead, but we know there’s more work to do because people are still under pressure and global risks are significant. #auspol #ausecon

Mass immigration is not a solution. It doesn’t fix housing, wages or infrastructure. It strips a country of its roots, its identity and its social cohesion. Look at what’s happening across Europe and the UK right now. Division everywhere. Australia still has a small window to pause, reset and have an honest conversation about the future of this country. Immigration isn’t the problem. Mass immigration is. If we keep using population growth to mask economic failure, we will face the same consequences. Now is the time to speak up and protect what makes Australia, Australia. 🇦🇺

GOD SAVE AUSTRALIA We have the most bloated government bureaucracy in the world - and surprise, surprise we’ve had the lowest growth in living standards over the past decade, and we are now going backwards. And Albanese is promising more of the same - but at an accelerated rate. Things are only going to get worse. And our State Media (the ABC) will never publish the information.

Australia is well placed and well prepared to deal with the uncertainty we see in the global economy because of the progress that we’ve made together over the course of the past three years. We've got inflation down substantially, real wages are up, unemployment is low, we've got the debt down, interest rates have started to come down already and growth is rebounding solidly in our economy. We know there's more work to do because people are still under pressure and also because of all of this global economic uncertainty. #auspol #ausecon Australian Labor

🇦🇺Did you have to sit down tonight and tighten your family budget? 😔 It doesn’t have to be this way. Australian families are being crushed by Labor’s record budget blowout, exploding mortgages, billions wasted on bloated bureaucracy, and a $74k pay rise for the eSafety Commissioner.

Whoever replaces Keir Starmer is walking into a trap, and they almost certainly do not know it. The strain is everywhere already. Wages flat, unemployment climbing, councils going broke, public services worn down to nothing. The new prime minister will promise to turn it around. So did the last six. The reason none of them could is not personal and it is not partisan. It is the economics they were all trained to believe, and it has been failing quietly for decades. Enough time has passed to say that without hedging. So watch the next one closely. Same script, same ending. For a more comprehensive understanding, please refer to the full video presentation provided in the comments. #SteveKeen #Economics #Neoliberalism #UKPolitics

🚨 THIS WAS NOT RANDOM. THIS WAS WARNED ABOUT. Australia didn’t just suffer an attack — it ignored intelligence. We now know: • Iranian state actors, including the IRGC, were actively fueling antisemitism • Australia expelled an Iranian ambassador — the first time since WWII • Intelligence agencies knew this campaign was foreign-directed This was never about “Palestine.” It was about destabilising a Western ally and injecting hatred into an open society. That is why nothing was ever enough: Australia funded Gaza. Australia recognised a Palestinian state. Australia bent over backwards to appease. And still — Jews celebrating Hanukkah were targeted. Because the objective is not peace. The objective is globalised intimidation — what they openly call “globalising the intifada.” This is now happening across the West: Washington. Boulder. Sydney. Different streets. Same playbook. Same foreign fingerprints. Every after-action report will say the same thing: “The signs were there. The intelligence was there.” The only thing missing was political courage. This is unacceptable — anywhere in the free world.

We’re going backwards fast. This clip pretty much sums up the mess Australia is in. For 10 out the last 15 quarters, per capital growth has gone backwards and over the four years since Albanese has been elected per capita growth has gone backwards. It’s worth nothing the economic turmoil caused by Morrison’s response to Covid lit the match for this economic malaise. No major party has a plan to lift Australia’s prosperity. Tax rates and regulations need to be slashed, infrastructure needs to be funded and built, profits need to stop going offshore and our education/immigration sectors need to be completely revamped. People First has the solutions to address these issues. Please lend your support by signing up at today.

Former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi asking one of the most important questions for Britain: "Who controls our streets?" This is the choice: "Are we going to come down hard on intimidation & threats and thuggery? Or not?" The state needs to crush this thuggery before it festers.

Australia's mining industry is one of our nation's pillars of prosperity. It underpins our living standards, funds schools and roads, and pays for our defence. With over $43 billion in taxes and $31 billion in royalties, the industry delivers more than any government program could dream of. Yet, under this government, mining is being strangled by red tape, green tape, and endless delays. Billion-dollar projects are being blocked over insects and snakes, while Australians struggle with declining living standards. The government doesn’t create wealth – industries like mining do. If we want better wages, jobs, and opportunities, we need to cut the burdens holding back Australia’s wealth creators. Let’s stand up for mining, stand up for jobs, and stand up for Australia.

🟠 PAULINE HANSON TELLS LIZ TRUSS THAT AUSTRALIA IS HEADING DOWN THE SAME ROAD AS BRITAIN 🟠 In a 29-minute sit down on The Liz Truss Show, the One Nation leader didn't hold back. Truss asked which country is worse off. "Britain," Hanson said. "But we're not that far behind you." On migrants who fly in, dump their ID and claim asylum: "Go back to your own countries. I don't care about those people." She put the numbers to Truss too. One arrival every 59 seconds. 739,000 in a year, 51,605 of them skilled. She's in London to speak at CPAC Great Britain from 16 July and says she's on a fact-finding mission to see Britain's decline up close, so Australia doesn't repeat it. Read the full story here:

"The catastrophic impact on the economy is almost impossible to calculate" Dave on the wealth tax debate "If you start taking 5% to 10% of people's wealth, if you do it on a one state level, you're screwed, because they're all going to leave the state. But if you try doing it in the United States, the impact is almost impossible to calculate" "They tried it in France, didn't go too well. It's been tried multiple times, it's never gone too well" "It's funny because the countries that the same people talk about all tried it and all failed. Sweden tried it and had to undo it"

This is the Australian story for about two decades - low productivity, high immigration and declining living standards. “Well Deloitte Access Economics has been producing quarterly economic reports for 30 years - and today’s was among its grimmest. 3 months ago they were forecasting 2% growth for this financial year - now they reckon it’ll be 1.3%. And next year, 1.9% - which will be the longest stretch of sub 2% growth since the 1992 recession. In the text, chief economist Stephen Smith says for too long strong population growth has masked a weak underlying productivity performance - and lifted growth while doing less for living standards. And he’s predicting more of the same - here’s his chart of population growth, history and forecast. Basically, Deloitte is predicting that immigration and population growth will go back to what it was when it was masking weak productivity - and almost double what it was in the early 2000s.”

After Australia’s five-year hard border shutdown on immigration, we could consider a UAE-style approach to foreigners working in Australia. In the UAE, you can live, work, invest and contribute but citizenship isn’t handed out like a sample bag. It’s protected. It’s inherited. It’s born, not bureaucratically “earned.” Australia can do the same. No automatic pathway to citizenship. No “do five years and get a passport.” No mass naturalisation used as a political strategy. After the pause, residency might reopen but citizenship stays with only those born into the Australian story. It protects cultural cohesion. It stabilises the population. It stops the demographic churn that Canberra pretends is “economic growth.” If the UAE can unapologetically protect its national identity, Australia can too. Australia First means citizenship by birth, residency by contribution. If you aren’t born here, you will never vote in Australia, you will never collect benefits, you will never own property. #AustraliaFirst #Auspol Australia Marches 🇦🇺

AI is the largest deflationary force in human history. If it plays out the way I think it will, we get something we haven't felt in a very long time... people feeling richer for the first time in decades. You can hand out subsidies, cut taxes, and print money but none of it lifts real living standards. The only thing that has ever moved that needle is a productivity boom big enough to collapse debasement into abundance. Now, I've been through enough cycles to know this won't be clean... there’ll be political fights, sectors slowing while others rip higher, and industries stuck on the wrong side of the cycle. But the setup is real and once productivity kicks in the outcome takes care of itself. This is exactly what the Exponential Age is. It isn't about AI being better than us. It's about the productivity curve going vertical and the whole economy finally getting to breathe.

Back in the day, Aussies had a better work-life balance. We didn’t have to work ourselves into the ground. Families had more time together, and people had more freedom. So what went wrong? The government got lazy. They got corrupt. They only cared about winning votes and hanging onto power. Instead of backing every part of our economy — manufacturing, mining, farming, services — and actually fixing things, they took the easy way out. They just pulled the same lever: mass migration. Sure, it bumps up the GDP, but it doesn’t fix housing. It doesn’t rebuild industry. It doesn’t give Aussie families a fair go. This has to stop. If we’re serious about fixing the economy and saving the nation, we’ve got to end mass migration. Join us. October 19. Master Australia. End mass migration 🇦🇺😀 March for Australia

“Australia’s migration boom helped drive a record $38.2 billion in money sent in overseas remittances last year, including $7.3 billion to India and $5.35 billion to China, according to new analysis. The two countries received nearly one third of all payments by migrants to their home countries in 2024, while Israelis in Australia sent the most per capita, the report by comparison site Money Transfer Australia found. “With net overseas migration expected to reach more than 1.3 million people between the 2023 and 2025 financial years … we believe remittance outflows from Australia will be even higher in 2025,” Mr Gous said.” •••••••••••••••••••• The Australian government needs to crack down on offshore profit shifting. There are three ways this is occurring: 1) Multinationals shifting interest, royalties and rent offshore to minimise their tax paid in Australia. 2) Immigrants particularly those on temporary visas transferring their wages back to home country 3) Companies outsourcing labor offshore and then transferring wages to those countries.
