Since 2016, the government’s share of GDP has surged by nearly a third—funded by our high taxes.

But instead of creating real wealth through our abundant natural resources, they inflate a false economy by growing public sector jobs.

Where’s the real leadership? Where’s the vision?

We are abundant in resources the world craves, yet we lag.

What’s really going on?

#nostriches #austriches

Yeah GFY Albo! Oh wait, not politics 😂

Shoutout to this one on X

LMAO “delete your account”

Propadeeeeee

The mandate is to maximise returns, not be a policy play thing.

#nostriches and #austriches

Here’s an Aussie joke for you:

Australia's Future Fund was established in 2006 with the purpose of strengthening the country’s long-term financial position.

Its primary goal? To ensure the government can meet unfunded superannuation obligations for public sector employees without placing a financial strain on future budgets.

The Future Fund is structured to be a patient, long-term investor—designed to maximize returns over time while managing risk, ensuring there’s enough in the pot when liabilities come due.

An independent sovereign wealth fund, created to accumulate savings and offset the government's future liabilities, particularly public sector superannuation payments.

But today, the Treasurer reckons it’s a good idea to start investing in houses and renewables.

So much for independence.

Here’s the punchline:

1 in 5 working Australians is employed by the public sector.

66% of all GDP growth since Q2 2018 has been fueled by government spending.

Meanwhile, we’re in a per capita recession with peak biz insolvencies hitting just recently.

The government created a Future Fund to secure the future, but their actions seem designed to mortgage it.

Macquarie Bank has blocked all bitcoin friendly exchanges for SMSF accounts.

We cannot purchase bitcoin with our super any more.

WTF?

Who knows how to get Aussie peso from bank to platform to buy bitcoin?

Australia: the land of three flags, daily welcome ceremonies, shipping our resources overseas so others can profit.

Meanwhile, we must also clap and pay through the nose for RenEwaBle EnErGy, fake government jobs keeping the economy ‘resilient,’ then be proud that Albo is chummy with Xi.

Hey #nostr

I’m going to take a nap.

Wake me up when the #bitcoin $100k party starts.

And the national govt is offering a pool of $1billion in rewards to state governments for increased efficiency.

Isn’t the prize of increased efficiency more profits? Why do we need to blow more $$$ on this?

I’m vexed.

Started my day thinking I could focus on writing about business and investing…but fuck it.

Only 14% of homes nationwide are affordable for the median-earning household. In NSW, it’s 10%.

And that’s total homes—not just houses—including regional areas.

Meanwhile, the government is flooding the country with record immigration, using dodgy student visa loopholes and commoditising what was once a respectable education system. But hey, we need more yoga instructors to address our so-called "skills shortages," right?

You can’t rent because there’s nothing left.

Builders and developers are going bust because there’s no profit in building. So don’t peddle the tired supply-side argument—it’s dead on arrival.

And what’s the government’s long term solution? More taxes.

* Taxes on properties

* Taxes on superannuation

* Taxes on unrealised capital gains

They’ll claim these taxes only target the wealthy. But by artificially inflating property values, they’ll drag ordinary Australians into the firing line while continuing to milk the housing crisis for all it’s worth.

This isn’t governance. It’s a scam.

The system is rigged against you:

* Housing you can’t afford.

* Rent you can’t secure.

* Immigration policies that crush wages and infrastructure.

* Taxes that punish you for simply existing.

This is Australia now—a country that exploits its citizens while rewarding the bureautards.

I always chuckle at how much people on X (and probably here) love to bash LinkedIn. Sure, there’s plenty of generic fluff and self-promotion, but honestly, LinkedIn has been the easiest and most effective platform for growing my businesses.

Rather than tearing others down, I find it much more rewarding to offer help.

Take cold outreach DMs, for example.

I get them daily.

When someone sends me a “Hi [first_name]…” message, I usually reply to point out their mistake.

Now I’m trying something new: if they own up to the error, I’ll pull an Uno reverse card and ask if they’d like help growing their business.

What do you think—what kind of conversion rate could that approach get?

Show me the incentive, I’ll show you the outcome.

It’s not in the RBA’s best interest to understand and accept bitcoin. They want/ need to keep the dollar BRRRRTZ going.

Labour needs majority of senators to vote in favour, looks like they just missed out.

Lots of lobbying of senators, got to admit that X is batting well at the moment

*net freedom

Lol yep! All the big pharma stocks down just on the announced PLAN to tap RFK Jr.

Imagine the implications of simply banning pharma advertising like 99% rest of world

#nostriches and #austriches

The mis-disinformation bill looks to fail.

MAD won’t get enough votes from the senate.

Now we just need to make sure they don’t find another way to bring in government issued digital id and facial recognition requirement to log onto the internet.

#MakeAlboGoAway

USA: let’s remove bureaucratic waste, investigate big pharma, reduce illegal immigration and promote bitcoin.

Australia: nah, let’s ban social media for teenagers, implement widespread censorship, enforce government issued digital id and ensure the housing ponzi never collapses
