What most Australians really think

Good on Greg, whoever he is.

Interesting that those we pay to run the country appear to be blatantly ripping us off.

Time Australians stood together and demanded our rights.

Now isn't the time to be a pack of cowards.

More prisons, more youth detention centres, more psychiatric facilities ( looooooong stay) more investment into Medicare, public health and education, more police.

Australian kids should be taught Australian values & ethics.

Fix this mess or prepare for chaos and disorder.

Australians have had enough of working their guts out for nothing, only to see flickers of their kids lives and be too exhausted to do anything with them on weekends.

Stop whoring our realestate off to Chinese nationals which is forcing housing prices to sky-rocket and stock shortages.

Get the message or get out, we know more than you think.




The enemies within.

It’s all about immigration – Albo is bringing in millions more:

The Indians can have 12 people sharing a one bedroom flat -
2 triple bunks in the bedroom and 2 more triple bunks in the living room.

For them it's luxury after the slums of Calcutta.

Here they have:
a gas stove,
electricity,
a fridge,
hot and cold running water,
a shower,
a toilet,
air conditioning,
gas heating for winter,
TV and internet connection for their laptops.

That's great after the slums they knew which had none of that.
They can even get a job here for $22 per hour
stacking shelves at the supermarket or driving for Uber.

Unfortunately the Libs do it too. We need a viable third party who will actually stop third world immigration and not just hide it.

The trouble with this is a 3rd candidate lacks expertise and experience with management of our economy.

It's one thing to have ideas, and our nations best interests at heart, but do they have a sufficiently qualified cabernet to replace the miserable ministers of Labor & Liberal , such as they are?

I see plenty of candidates registering their party's, however none of them are remotely capable of taking the ships wheel.

I call these registered party's who receive electoral funding which is going down the drain, parasites.

Honestly, what do they do all day?

They get paid to create the illusion of democracy, and generate preference ( proxy) votes they then in turn sell to the highest bidder, the party that offers them personally the most in return.

We need a party with a leader who is serious about the state of our country.

Not a leader who is out for themselves and who accepts bribes.

What do we all want? - We don't know.

When do we want it? - Now!

We know what we want, we just need to learn how to demand, *ahem* ask 😉

https://wentworthreport.com/2025/03/11/ ... -albanese/


Australian federal bureaucracy grew by 44 per cent in Albanese‘s first two years as PM.

By Nick Cater in The Australian.


The Covid pandemic was the pretext for an unprecedented expansion of government during peacetime.

The ranks of state and federal public servants increased by 23 per cent between June 2019 and June 2024. The wage bill increased by 39 per cent. …

Between June 2022 and June 2024, the Australian Public Service workforce grew by 44 per cent. Sadly, that’s not a typo. Albanese inherited a workforce of 254,000 that had grown to 365,00 by last June according to Australian Bureau of Statistics data.


The wage bill rose by 52 per cent from $24.5bn to $37.3bn. …

Dutton is on safe ground in targeting 36,000 public service jobs in Canberra. …

Party of the bureaucracy:

Labor’s problem is that it has become as indebted to the public service as it is to the unions. It relies on the votes of those on the government’s payroll to make up for the falling number of Labor supporters who aren’t.

Finance Minister Katy Gallagher had no choice but to stand up for the right of public servants to work from home last week after the Coalition had pledged to drive the bureaucrats back to the office.

Gallagher’s comments may shore up her vote as an ACT senator but they are poison to those in jobs where things are done rather than merely administered. Those who work from home are primarily managers and professionals, not the people who fill and empty warehouses, dig holes, pour concrete or supervise checkout counters.

It is their votes Labor is about to lose at the next election.

44% growth in two years of a Labor government!?! Why haven’t the legacy media told us before? Why isn’t this a major election issue?

Australia needs a DOGE to trim it back. How on earth did we manage before 2022? Has anyone notice any difference — other than to the budget and taxes — from hiring all those bureaucrats?

according to Australian Bureau of Statistics data
I checked here – the figures are correct:

https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/labou ... gs/2021-22

June 2022
254,000 employees in Commonwealth government;


https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/labou ... st-release

June 2024

365,400 employees in Commonwealth government (including defence force personnel);

The figure above may be misleading.
The 2022 figure doesn't mention Dept. of Defence employees - soldiers.
