It beggars belief that the RBA could print $300 billion to pay people to stay at home and get brainwashed by State Premiers but not actually set about funding our Australia’s infrastructure which would actually solve our productivity crises which is what is driving inflation.
In last week’s budget the Albanese Government is claiming they will reduce immigration to 395,000 this year. However, the real figures from Home Affairs up, until Feb 2024, show a net figure of 872,829 arrivals.
Just a small critique on the direction of the Albanese Labor Government.
Not something you hear about everyday but there is a movement trying to make it compulsory for trains to have lighting.
The Future Fund has major stakes in all of our big banks.
It’s not good enough that they are sitting on their hands and saying nothing about the major banks closing branches. Australians are very angry about the way the major banks are shafting them.
The government is subsidising people with our taxes to buy electric cars but yet cannot say how they are going to build the charging stations to ensure people can charge their vehicles.
Why won’t Labor talk about the damage renewables do to the environment?
Labor and the Greens went ahead and took out 450GL of water out of the Murray Darling Basin last year. They like to say they are buying back water for the environment but nothing could be further from the truth.

Here is another broken promise or lack of transparency. In an earlier set of estimates, I asked the acting environment minister, Senator McAllister, just how many kilometres of transmission lines we need to reach 82 per cent of renewables by 2030.
The so called National Reconstruction Fund bill is nothing but a slush fund for renewables with a misleading name. Coal and gas projects, which are locally produced have been excluded from the fund. On the other hand foreign owned or built renewables can apply for assistance.
Last week the Labor party passed the Safeguard mechanism. This is without a doubt the most destructive bill ever passed during my time in the Senate.
What’s astonishing about this is that the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison himself said this week that Covid vaccine mandates were never recommended by the Federal Health Department outside of Health settings.
Inflation is caused by either too much demand or not enough supply. Most of the inflation today is caused by a lack of productivity in the country resulting in supply shortages.
Senators Gerard Rennick and Slade Brockman have successfully fought for a Senate Inquiry into regional bank closures.
Central Bank Independence (which is double speak for no accountability or transparency) has no place in a democracy.
I don’t really see this bill as being the final nail in the coffin for small industry and small business here in Australia—no, no, no. The Labor Party put the final nail in the coffin of small business a long time ago.

In 2017 the CSIRO said it would cost $1 trillion dollars to convert the energy grid to 100% renewables. Then last year they claimed the costs had dropped by 50% or a lazy $500 billion despite rampart inflation.

How long will people have to wait in order to recharge their electric vehicles? The government has no idea. This is despite the fact they recently passed legislation that will subsidize the cost of an electric car by up to
The RBA governor is clueless. He has no understanding of monetary policy. He cannot distinguish between lending to the private sector and the public sector. He also cannot distinguish between secured and unsecured debt. He contradicts himself so many times
Boy o boy is our energy grid going be in trouble with this lot in charge.If only bureaucratic spin could be converted into electricity we would become the energy powerhouse of the world. Key points from this line of questioning
In estimates I quizzed the RBA as to why they are using austerity measures rather than productivity measures to manage the economy. Austerity measures via sharp interest rate increases are only hurting the battlers who don’t deserve to suffer because
In estimates I asked the CSIRO if they had a roadmap as to how the government planned to reach its 43% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030. Needless to say they passed the buck onto AEMO, the Australian Energy Market
Last week I questioned Fair Work Australia about their commissioners. I have sworn affidavits from people saying one Vice President was heard saying on the phone that she wouldn’t let an unvaccinated person look after her grandchildren. I also asked
