(We) can do better

In the 3 minute video below, One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts calls upon all patriotic Australians to attend the "Australia Unites" protests starting 12pm tomorrow, Saturday 13 September in all of our capital cities. I include further below "Watch how Pauline Hanson HUMILIATES Albanese & Labour MPs in Australia Parliament On LIVE TV!" Pauline Hansen rightly condemns the Albanese/Green government for driving up the cost of living and causing many Australians to become homeless as a consequence of their record high immigration. However this speech is somewhat marred by her condemnation of Australians protesting for Palestine. Whilst, last Sunday 31 March a group of provocateurs, claiming to be supporters of Palestine, attempted to stop the March for Australia, I don't believe they represent those Australians who support Palestine. Beneath Malcolm's video, I urged him to contact NSW Libertarian MLC, John Ruddick who attends protests for Palestine in addition to protests against high immigration.

IPAN: "AUKUS will make Australia a less prepared, more likely target; AUKUS distorts government funding priorities - public money for U.S. military housing while Australians sleep rough; Diplomacy and peacebuilding, not preparations for another unnecessary war, must guide our national policy."

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has yet to comment on the claim by Indian Commerce and Industry, Mr. Piyush Goyal, that he has requested that India send 100,000 more Indians to Australia to build 1,000,000 new dwellings (see video embedded below as an appendix). This is supposed to solve the housing crisis created by Albanese himself adding 1,223,896 to Australia's population since 2022 with a massive increase in immigration. This has caused the median price of an Australian dwelling to reach $1,020,000 - a figure beyond what even two people with middle-class incomes can afford, let alone workers on whose behalf the Labor Party is supposedly governing. How is this not a betrayal of ordinary Australians? On top of that we now seem to be faced with the prospect of vastly greater numbers immigrating from India in coming months and years, in what is almost an open-borders policy towards India.[1] Given the massive disparity in the respective populations of our two countries 1,451,000,000 vs 27,200,000 - if high immigration is to continue, it would take little time before Australia's current inhabitants were to become a small and impoverished minority.

This article explores a fictitious case of an Immigrant-based rent-seeking model leveraging labour market arbitrage and tax optimization in Australia.

This article describes and analyses Senator Hanson Young’s tactics in a Senate debate in Australia surrounding a motion proposed by Senator Malcolm Roberts of One Nation to establish an inquiry into the economic impacts of high immigration levels. The motion specifically focused on objective economic metrics such as home prices, rental prices, wage growth, inflation, labour productivity, and the accuracy of government immigration projections.

Government reponse may undermine existing policy to promote people ageing in place, and more: The Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN) welcomes the 2025 Progress Report: Implementation of the Recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety by Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown.

This landmark report assesses the Australian Government’s progress in responding to the Royal Commission’s recommendations as at 1 January 2025.

Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Aguilar, in early August, blew the whistle on how US-supplied food was used to lure starving Palestinians to be murdered by Israeli snipers and tank gunners. At a Senate hearing on Wednesday 3 September, he and former Army intelligence officer Josephine Guilbeau, dressed in their full military uniforms, protested at a US Senate hearing against the United States' support for the genocide in Gaza. Anthony Aguilar said loudly "The United States government is complicit in genocide. You have an obligation to the Constitution of the United States." He and Josephine Guilbeau were immediately seized by security guards and dragged out of the room and down the hallway.

The video is 33 minutes long and documents scenes at the Melbourne March for Australia, starting one hour ahead, to give an idea of how things began, then you get an impression, half-way of how the crowds built up to standing-room only, then how they stretched as far as the eye could see.

In a feudal system, serfs are seen as tenants who do not own the land they work on. Their obligation to pay a portion of their produce to the lord reflects a system of control rather than ownership. Peter Siminski and Roger Wilkins propose radical taxes on Australian homeowners through a feudal concept called "imputed rent."

Non-monogamy and colony inheritance are the leading causes of conflict among termites, but these social cockroaches prove you don’t always need a big brain to get to the bottom of even the curliest of problems peacefully, new research from Charles Darwin University (CDU) has found.

Study author Judith Korb, a CDU and University of Freiburg researcher, investigated a termite species found in Darwin and its mangroves to analyse which mechanisms these invertebrates have evolved to resolve conflict.

In the first book in the series, Demography, Territory and Law: The Rules of Animal and Human Populations, I argued that, under normal circumstances, human and other animal populations adjust naturally to comfortable levels within the carrying capacity of their environments.  This runs contrary to much modern dogma, which suggests that overpopulation is inevitable an

An ABC program actually dealing with immigration statistics is fairly rare. But it seems that even some right-wing pro-growth commentators have been raising concern about the statistic that 1544 new migrants  are arriving every day. "1544 people who need housing". The IPA, normally a fan of population growth,  has suggested that "excessive migration has pummelled Australia's economic productivity". 

At the Brain Cancer Centre, Royal Melbourne Hospital, WEHI, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Victorian brain cancer researchers have achieved a global-first, using an innovative process to learn how a new drug suppresses tumour activity and provides hope to patients with low-grade gliomas (LGG). 

We’ve got a problem in Australia.  For many decades our way of life has been under attack from within.  A persistent voice via the mainstream media has ruled our dinner party conversations. 

Let’s start with the way we live in suburbs of large cities - largely in detached bungalows surrounded by gardens.  

If politicians don’t include immigration numbers in their platforms, how can voters make their voices heard? Established theory explains why the pressure for faster population growth, driven by a minority that benefits commercially, is much more effective than the pressure against population growth from a majority that bears the costs.

Although more people are openly expressing opposition to Australia's extreme immigration numbers, some people are still afraid to speak out, or even to admit there is a problem. How has self-censorship become so effective in silencing objection to the excessive volume of immigration that is driving rapid population growth and cost of living increase in Australia?

Kevork Almassian interviews Hovik Manucharyan on the subject of US President Trump's bizarre corridor 'deal' with Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia and Turkey.  This very enlightening interview is led into with an extract from Trump's meeting with Armenian President Pashinyan and Azabaijarian President Ilham Aliyev, who are both internationally known as giant sleezes in the region.

More than two years after the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC) completed its investigation into Casey Council, the findings remain hidden. “Operation Sandon” was a five-year investigation into allegations of serious corrupt conduct, involving planning and property development decisions at Casey Council.

Despite the scale and severity of the allegations, the Office of Public Prosecutions has not laid a single charge against any of those investigated - there is no report, no documents, and no further information available on IBAC’s website.

Today, the 99th anniversary of the birth of Fidel Castro (1926-2016), Afshin Rattansi (@AfshinRattansi), the presenter of RT's Going Underground, posted to X/Twitter following four minutes speech by Fidel Castro that he gave to the United Nations in 1979. That video is included below. In that speech, he explained that, instead of bombing remote parts of the world, Cuba sends hundreds of doctors to help fight disease and improve the health of people in those regions.

The Cuban Revolution

On January 1 1959, Fidel Castro, Che Guavara and the guerilla army they led, known as the July 26 Movement, overthrew the corrupt government of Fulgencio Batista. The new Cuban government commenced a program for the benefit of the poorest Cubans including the confiscation of land of the wealthiest landholders and redistributing that land to over 100,000 peasants. As a consequence of such reforms, the United States began a campaign to overthrow the Cuban government which continues to this day. This includes a trade embargo and support for covert military action against the Cuban government and the more overt Bay of Pigs invasion, which was launched on 17 April 1961.

Climate change poses a real and growing risk to Victoria’s built environment says a report tabled today by the Legislative Council Environment and Planning Committee. Metropolitan Melbourne faces distinct climate change risks due to its high population density and impervious surfaces,intensifying the heat island effect.

Since many people will believe that the Online Safety Act is there to protect children from sexual predators and exposure to lewd or aggressive sexual material, it is relevant to note that pornography websites are not included in this 'online safety ban.'  Australian political comedian, Lewis Spears, says that this clearly means that the Online Safety Act is not about 'protecting children.'  See end of article for performance dates in Frankston and Canberra in Australia.

Ricky Lanusse wrote, "Shrinking Humanity Won’t Save a Burning Planet: How population panic became the ultimate cop-out, " in in The Medium, August 2025. I will spare readers here the text of the article, which you can probably imagine. I responded as below.

Humans have a magnificent brain, one that even while at rest churns through more information in 30 seconds than the Hubble space telescope has processed in thirty years. In fact the brain absorbs so much data it also has to decide which is relevant and which to ignore, a feature that makes us terrible witnesses.

On 27 November 2024, the Australian House of Representatives passed the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024, a law ostensibly designed to protect children from the harms of social media. While the stated intention behind the bill is widely supported, the way it has been introduced and debated (or arguably not debated) raises serious concerns about democratic transparency, proportionality, and the erosion of online freedoms for all Australians.

Online Safety or Overreach? Concerns About the Social Media Minimum Age Bill 2024

Transcript from Clayton Morris of Redacted Inc's discussion with Neil Oliver, former BBC archaeological history commentator, who shares his theories about immigration and progressive ideologies in Scotland and elsewhere. He says the mainstream media which formerly promoted him, now marginalizes him for his opinions. He finds solace in the support of interesting and courageous individuals, who are grateful for his speaking out.
