Over the past two decades, pensioner incomes have grown by 20 per cent, while those of working-age families have grown by just 7 per cent. Given these trends, surely it is time to include the Triple Lock in debates around stemming the growth in welfare spending? ➡️

House prices are out of control “Data published by PropTrack rival Cotality on Friday found Australian home values surged by 8.6 per cent in 2025, adding about $71,400 to the national median dwelling value. The median home value in Sydney hit $1.24 million after annual growth of 6.4 per cent, while Melbourne recorded $854,000 following a yearly gain of 4.5 per cent. In Brisbane the median tipped over the million-dollar mark to $1.01 million as the booming Queensland capital recorded annual growth of 14.6 per cent. Adelaide was the best-performing capital city in December, with home prices up 0.8 per cent to a median of $908,000, following a 12.8 per cent rise over the year. Perth also performed strongly, with 0.5 per cent growth in the month, matching Brisbane, to a median value of $950,000 after annual growth of 17.2 per cent.” ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Happy New to everyone. I hope you had a good break. The rise in house prices along with the cost of living needs to be the number one priority of the Australian government in 2026. The average rise in housing of 8.6% in 2025 is more than twice the rate of wage growth of 3.4%. Our children should not have to carry the burden of trying to afford such expensive housing.

As families send their children back to school this week, I am reminded of my own experience as a mum on the farm, working hard to pay the bills and put food on the table. I know those pressures. I have lived them. Today, families across Australia are being squeezed like never before. Under Labor, food is up 16 per cent, rent up 22 per cent, and electricity up nearly 40 per cent. That is a cost of living crisis, plain and simple. I remain determined to build an Australia where families can get ahead, where people are empowered to stand on their own two feet, and where hard work is respected and rewarded.

Even by an accountant’s standards, it was a poor account of the management of the finances in 2025-26. Revenue receipts were short by Rs 78,086 crore, total expenditure was short by Rs 1,00,503 crore. Revenue expenditure was short by Rs 75,168 crore and capital expenditure was cut by Rs 1,44,376 crore (Centre Rs 25,335 crore and States Rs 1,19,041 crore). Not a word was said to explain this miserable performance. Actually, the Centre’s capital expenditure has fallen from 3.2 per cent of GDP in 2024-25 to 3.1 per cent in 2025-26. In revenue expenditure, the cuts have fallen in heads that concern the common people. Examples: ⦁ Rural Development: Rs 53,067 crore ⦁ Urban Development: Rs 39,573 crore ⦁ Social Welfare: Rs 9,999 crore ⦁ Agriculture: Rs 6,985 crore ⦁ Education: Rs 6,701 crore ⦁ Health: Rs 3,686 crore Funds have been cut in crucial sectors and programmes. Expenditure on the much-vaunted Jal Jeevan Mission was cruelly cut from Rs 67,000 crore to a paltry Rs 17,000 crore. (In 2026-27, it has been boosted to Rs 67,670 crore, but what credibility does the number have?) After the months-long exercise, the revised estimate of the fiscal deficit has adhered to the budget estimate of 4.4 per cent, and the projection for 2026-27 is that the fiscal deficit will fall by a meagre 0.1 per cent of GDP. The revenue deficit will remain at 1.5 per cent. It is certainly not a bold exercise in fiscal prudence and consolidation. The most serious criticism of the Budget speech is that the Finance Minister is not tired of adding to the number of schemes, programmes, missions, institutes, initiatives, funds, committees, hubs, etc. I counted at least 24. I leave it to your imagination how many of these will be forgotten and vanish by next year. : Former Finance Minister Shri P. Chidambaram

#WATCH | Delhi: Sanjay Kumar, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, says, "As you are aware, the Class 12 results recently declared by the CBSE were marked using an On-Screen Marking (OSM) system this time. Following this, certain concerns have been raised—specifically, students feel that the overall pass percentage has declined. Indeed, the pass percentage has dropped by 3 per cent compared to the previous year, falling from 88 per cent to 85 per cent. Some students feel that they should have received higher marks than those actually awarded to them... I would like to emphasise that On-Screen Marking is neither a novel concept nor is this the first time it has been implemented. The CBSE first initiated the OSM system in 2014; however, at that time, due to technical infrastructure limitations, it was deemed unfeasible to continue the process immediately. We have successfully reintroduced it this year..."

🚨 Today Labour has scrapped the Conservative two-child benefit limit and the real winners are large families in the Muslim community, while native British taxpayers foot the bill. Muslim households have far higher fertility rates and much larger families on average (over 55% of Muslim children live in families with 3+ kids, nearly double the national average). This change hands them extra Universal Credit — around £300+ per month per additional child, subsidizing bigger families that were already disproportionately affected by the old cap. For hard-working native Brits with smaller families and lower welfare dependency, it means higher taxes and bigger welfare spending (costing billions and rising) to support rapid demographic change. It’s a policy that incentivises higher birth rates in communities with the highest dependency, while straining public services and the public purse for everyone else. Britain’s native population is paying to accelerate its own replacement.

AAP Delhi state president Saurabh Bharadwaj says, “A year ago, Rekha Gupta’s government was formed in Delhi. When the academic session begins in private schools on April 1, all the schools increase their fees, some by 80 per cent, some by 50 per cent, and some by 20 per cent. The government says it will bring a new law and ensure that all the increased fees are refunded. There is a lot of drama around bringing the new law, but not a single school refunds the fees, not even one.” (Full video available on

Posting this today while hopefully some you are still with your nans for the bank holiday and can explain it to them. We can replace the triple lock with a double lock, increasing pensions by the higher of inflation or wage growth. Pensioners will still more than keep pace with working people. They are currently racing ahead of them, their earnings increasing faster than those of working people. The 2.5% floor is arbitrary, invented by the Lib Dems in the same manifesto that promised to scrap tuition fees, then adopted by the Tories as a bribe to pensioner voters. The reality is that we can’t target investment and support if arbitrary amount of public money is distributed to all people of pension age regardless of need (and yes, contribution). It has no logic… it will keep boosting pensions faster than the rest of the economy indefinitely, with no ceiling. I am a socialist but the triple lock is just a bribe to dependable voters.

On Monday, Rupert Lowe secured a debate on mass deportations in Parliament. Reform MPs agreed that we should deport every illegal immigrant and send millions of legal migrants home. Labour MPs Jonathan Brash, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, and Mike Tapp tried to police their language, accusing them of "racist dog-whistle politics". They are getting desperate because they know the public doesn’t agree with them. A new report from RICU darling Dame Sara Khan, A new report from RICU darling Dame Sara Khan, Britain Under Strain: The Broken Social Contract, Democratic Distrust and the Mainstreaming of Extremism, finds that: - 55 per cent of voters believe “national identity is disappearing because of diversity” - 33 per cent support remigration - 31 per cent believe being British is about ancestry - 61 per cent think the social contract is broken - 42 per cent say Muslims can never integrate into British society Among Reform voters, those figures are 87 per cent, 87 per cent, 50 per cent, 83 per cent, and 71 per cent, respectively. 32 per cent of voters believe capitalism has failed and we need a “communist revolution”. But, when categorising voters, the study finds that 58 per cent of the public are “far right” by the authors' standards. This means any party making a credible pitch to reverse mass migration and put British people first can win a Parliamentary majority. When supporters of the party that consistently leads national polls reject demographic change, multiculturalism, national identity based on self-ID, and the liberal managerial state, it's no wonder they're worried.
