Taxpayer funded CCP propaganda in schools ‘should shock all Australians’Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says the footage of Chinese propaganda being taught to school children with taxpayer money is “deeply concerning” and “should shock all Australians”. “This is deeply concerning ... it’s an exposé that should shock all Australians,” Mr Canavan told Sky News host Paul Murray. “We need to re-establish those standards with migrants’ community that if you’re going to come here, you have to be part of the Australian community and share our values ... to be an Australian.” Surely patriotic politicians have the clout to stop this. Propaganda at schools is the ‘norm’ now, the T+ agenda, climate/renewables push, white hate and now CCP to name a few. I’m not surprised What about this then?

Albanese government ‘wants to spend’ Australians’ moneyShadow Treasurer Angus Taylor says the Albanese government is a Labor Party that “wants to spend” Australians' money. “It’s going to have to tax all Australians in order to be able to do that,” Mr Taylor said. They are just trying to make the system fair. Protector of the Billionaires. 💲 That should secure 17 votes. A potential treasurer not being able to calculate how many votes there are in an issue that stops a tax dodge. If he can't grasp that, he can't run the economy. The Media are just as bad. LOL.... he can't defend the tax dodge! Liberals claimed they are the party of the workers. They are the party of the mega rich. Liberal voters... can't vote ALP? Vote in a teal, the Liberal party died today 🪦 RIP Liberals.

Australians spending more on retail despite soaring cost of livingRetail sales across Australia have rebounded, driven by higher spending at department stores and more money being splashed out on clothing and footwear. There has been a massive shift of money from baby boomers to their children, allowing then to continue spending. Re mortgaging has also released funds and some are still spending Govt relief from COVID. Still lots of borrowed/printed money in the economy. Did they buy more stuff, or pay more for the same stuff…?

Australians should ‘expect more falls’ in house pricesYellow Brick Road Home Loans Executive Chairman Mark Bouris says Australians should “expect more falls” in house prices. Mr Bouris said there is a lag with interest rates taking effect. “With a 3.25 per cent interest rate rise since this time last year, the general opinion is that … 1.8 per cent of that hasn’t yet hit the marketplace, in other words, is still in lag territory,” he told Sky News Australia. “Plus, you’ve got all the fixed rates that are about to come off as well in 2023. “So, expect more falls, that’s the bottom line”. Thanks to lockdowns ruining the economy, well done everyone 👏🏼 'Please frequent my business ... !' And that's why they're bringing hundreds of thousands into the country, just this year

Labor’s ‘knee-jerk’ super change a ‘breach of faith’ of AustraliansLabor’s “knee-jerk” change to the superannuation tax concessions is a “breach of faith” of Australians, says Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume. Her comments follow Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s announcement on Tuesday to double taxes on super accounts holding over three million in funds from 2025, despite promising during the election there would be no major changes to super. “It’s not indexed which means that three million today is going to be very different to three million in five years times– even in two years’ time when this kicks in,” Ms Hume told Sky News Australia. “For younger people that are saying ‘this won’t affect me’ – well when you retire, what will three million be worth then? “So, this has all sorts of potential implications for lots of Australians, not just the first 80,000. “And let’s be frank, last week Labor was saying it was only 36,000 people and now it’s 80,000.” How good is the courage of our PM and Treasurer. I have no idea if it is a breach of faith. But 80,000 Aussies and their families will think it is. That's a lot of voters. 🤔 🤣🤣🤣 no 'breach of faith'. Hopefully this is only the beginning. Take the 🗑 out lol
