You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them.
Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them.
The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

It’s never too late to support reading. Evidence shows targeted interventions can lift literacy skills for older students too, writes Callula Killingly. #auspol #education #literacy
It's never too late to help students learn to read – even in high school
Many students with reading difficulties are missed after the early years. New evidence shows targeted, evidence-based support can still make a real difference well into high school.

Ludicrous. The NACC is supposed to be independent but Brereton keeps working for the ADF while overseeing potential corruption investigations about it?
The Kathryn Campbell conflict wasn't enough to demonstrate how costly and damaging this is? That mistake already cost the NACC $1.2m to rectify.

Does Australia supply weapons to Israel? The government has consistently denied the claim and criticised “misinformation” surrounding exports, arguing it has “raised tensions in this country”.
So what do we know about Australia’s role in the F-35 jet's supply chain, and what constitutes a weapon?
