It’s the same thing in Australia 🇦🇺 It actually runs far deeper than most people realise. Private property isn’t just about wealth accumulation, it’s about proper independence and human dignity. If people can’t realistically acquire and retain their own home, they lose the economic foundation that underpins every other freedom we enjoy. A nation of permanent renters is far easier to manage, easier to tax and much easier to control but it is certainly not a nation of secure, confident citizens. Governmental policy should always favour families and first-home buyers not large fund managers balance sheets.

Suppressors are neither dangerous nor unusual. They are protected arms. They should be legal in Australia 🇦🇺

When gold and copper are both hitting record highs at the same time, it’s a warning sign. Gold usually rises when people lose trust in money and governments are printing too much of it. Copper usually rises when the real economy is booming and lots of things are being built. Seeing both surge together tells us something unusual is happening: governments are spending and borrowing heavily, pushing up the price of real materials, while ordinary people are quietly losing purchasing power as the value of money is diluted. Asset prices go up, but wages don’t keep pace. That’s why everything feels more expensive even when politicians say the economy is “strong.” It’s not prosperity; it’s currency debasement colliding with real-world shortages, and 2026 is shaping up to expose that contradiction.

Be careful here, we’re nearing the top.

Any free thinking person with a brain rejects racial collectivism from both the left and the right 🇦🇺 Its always best to uphold individual dignity, private property, sound money and government being accountable for their own failures. Anyone offering scapegoats instead of balance sheets is not on the side of truth and decency. Any movement that replaces individual responsibility with group guilt is incompatible with a free society.

Australia’s record house prices are not a mystery of “market forces” they are the predictable outcome of policy. Since 2015, Australia’s broad money supply has expanded by roughly 80%, massively diluting the purchasing power of wages and savings. When a government runs loose fiscal policy, funds deficits with debt, and allows banks to create ever more credit, that new money must land somewhere. It overwhelmingly flows into scarce assets like housing. At the same time, high immigration settings inject relentless demand into a market where housing supply is structurally constrained, turning shelter into a bidding war. The result is not prosperity, but a brutal cost-of-living squeeze: higher mortgages, higher rents, higher land prices and a generation forced to compete against debased currency and policy-driven demand. This is not a housing failure; it is a currency and fiscal discipline failure and Aussie households are paying the price.

IAN PLIMER | The first instance of murderous Islamic terrorism occurred in Australia more than 100 years ago. Nothing has changed. The primary cause still exists and has never been firmly addressed. On 11 November 1914, there was a proclamation of a holy war on behalf of the pan-Islamic world against the Allies by Sheikh al-Islam, the spiritual advisor to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed V. This occurred less than a month after the Ottoman Empire joined the Axis forces in World War I. News of this international fatwa travelled fast. Terrorism took place in Australia seven weeks later and months before the Allied invasion of Turkey on Anzac Day, 1915. At 10 am on 1 January 1915, two Islamic terrorists attacked a picnic train on the outskirts of Broken Hill. Article |

What do we expect? Self-regulation is inherently weak. When the same institution accused of misconduct is responsible for investigating itself, incentives align toward minimisation, delay and reputational protection; not truth-finding and fact telling 🇦🇺

Spot Copper is trading within 5% of its all-time high. It’s a strong signal that global electrification demand, supply constraints and monetary conditions are all colliding at the same time ⚡️

Iran.

Every oppressive regime eventually dies the same way: it destroys its own currency. When the money collapses, lies are exposed, power evaporates and fear stops working. Iran will be no different. This is not a threat, it’s just pattern recognition. Tyranny can survive protests. It can survive sanctions. It cannot survive currency collapse. Hyperinflation is the final reckoning and history never misses.

The new Province of South Australia prided itself for a freedom of religion principle, but nevertheless a Chaplain was appointed. The Anglican Reverend Charles Howard held his first service #OTD Sunday 1 January 1837 in the sand hills at Holdfast Bay. He had arrived on HMS Buffalo on December 28. Soon after, he borrowed a sail from a sea captain and with the help of a friend lugged it 12 km up to the site of the capital, Adelaide, in a handcart. Under it, he conducted services. The foundation stone for the first church, Holy Trinity on North Terrace, was laid on 26 January 1838. 📸 State Library of South Australia Art Gallery of South Australia Keith Conlon #history #southaustralia #adelaide #ourstories History Trust of South Australia Heritage South Australia State Library of South Australia City of Adelaide History Council of South Australia.

Whoever broke in didn’t take cash, didn’t take valuables, just the paperwork. Totally normal. Nothing to see here. “It wasn’t me” 🤣 🇸🇴
