The Digital Trap: Don’t Let Them Ban Cash

The Albanese government promised to protect cash usage following a private member’s bill from regional MPs, yet he went ahead and introduced regulations that weaken and phase out cash. Concerns raised by National Seniors Australia noted that pharmacies are omitted from the mandatory cash regulations, which risks leaving vulnerable or non-digital citizens unable to buy […]

Prestige vs. Actual Performance

Does Australia’s education system rewards true excellence or just old prestige? Most Australians don’t know that some of our highest-rated higher education institutions aren’t the elite sandstone Group of Eight universities, or public universities. Smaller, independent providers like Alphacrucis University College are blowing national averages out of the water, boasting a 90% overall student satisfaction […]

Restoring Helium to the Critical Minerals List

The Albanese government removed helium from Australia’s Critical Minerals List in December 2023, allowing the country’s only helium plant in Darwin to close. Australia now relies entirely on imports from Qatar, the US, Algeria, and Russia —nations tied to current global conflicts. Helium is irreplaceable and vital for critical domestic sectors, including healthcare (MRI machine […]

Labor’s Fake Cash Guarantee

One Nation submitted a motion to disallow Labor’s Competition and Consumer (Industry Codes—Cash Acceptance) Regulations 2025. These regulations are misleading because it allows most businesses to refuse cash. It only requires cash acceptance at supermarkets and petrol stations for purchases under $500 between 7 am and 9 pm, while providing further exemptions for rural towns […]

Canberra’s New Loyalty Test

The Commonwealth Entities Legislation Amendment Bill 2026 gives government ministers total discretion to suspend senior public servants (like department heads and commissioners) for up to 12 months with full pay, simply by claiming it’s in the department’s “best interest,” rather than using clear, objective performance standards (KPIs). Public servants are already too politicised and will […]

When Art Crosses the Line

Why are taxpayers bankrolling art projects that cross the line from “expression” into outright extremism? Creative Australia admitted to funding nearly $100,000 for events linked to an artist who has publicly praised a listed terrorist organisation and celebrated violence. We also learned that $48,000 went to an exhibition that mocked public figures and pushed divisive […]

Responsible Oversight, Not Cuts to the PBS

The New England Times published a hit piece falsely claiming One Nation plans to remove medications from the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). This is an outright lie. One Nation will defend the PBS, just as we defend Medicare. Here is the truth. Our 2025 policy promises a sensible review of medications fast-tracked during COVID to […]

One Nation Draws the Line on Terrorism

Australians’ safety must come before the rights of people who chose to join terrorist organisations. The Albanese Government keeps insisting it gave “zero assistance” to repatriate ISIS-linked individuals. Yet, the evidence shows ministerial meetings, advocacy coordination, passport help, DNA testing, citizenship paperwork and a $100 million-funded NGO quietly managing the logistics. These women entered declared […]

Strengthening Financial Access in the Bush

During this session with Australia Post, I raised concerns from local outlet operators like Kylie in Agnes Waters, who face increasing operational pressures. Australia Post confirmed that while they are not actively cutting over-the-counter services, telecommunications companies, government agencies, and banks are driving down physical transactions by raising manual fees, pushing digital channels, or pulling […]
