The $9 Trillion Net Zero Lie: How the Coalition Turned Investment Into a Scare Campaign
When a political party starts throwing around numbers with more zeros than Peter Dutton had votes left in Dickson, you know you’re not getting economic analysis, you’re getting a con job. The Coalition’s $9 trillion net zero scare campaign is the latest instalment in a decades-long franchise of climate hysteria, from Whyalla’s promised obliteration to the $100 lamb roast that never arrived. But this time, the real cost is the one they never mention: the price Australians are already paying for a lost decade of delay, obstruction and weaponised ignorance.
The Great Immigration Scare, 2.0: Facts versus the Mining State Panic Machine
Guardian reporting shows Advance has pumped out at least 44 anti-immigration ads on Meta since the 2025 election campaign began, with more than 1.5 million impressions, drenched in talk of “mass immigration” and “threats” to Australian values. Some Liberal MPs have called the campaign “disturbing” and warned it will poison relations with migrant communities.
THE FISH BOWL: HOW MURDOCH MEDIA AND MINING BILLIONS STRANGLED AUSTRALIA’S CLIMATE FUTURE
Malcolm Turnbull knows the Coalition is trapped in a “fact-free, reality-free culture war” over climate, dictated by Sky News and Murdoch media. He’s right—but what he won’t admit is that state capture extends to Labor too. While Turnbull points fingers at Coalition climate denialism, Labor quietly approves fossil fuel projects that dwarf the Coalition’s rhetoric. Australia is the world’s second-largest exporter of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions, and both major parties are drowning in mining money.
The Calculus of Power: Labor’s Dreyfus Case.
After a 94-seat landslide, Labor demoted constitutional lawyer Mark Dreyfus and promoted Michelle Rowland to Attorney-General. It wasn’t about merit. It was about moving the right components into the right places. An investigation into how the machine matters more than the Constitution.
Stockholm Syndrome Sussan: How a $14m War Chest Killed Net Zero
Australia’s democracy is under siege—not by obvious force, but through dark money and corporate capture. While the Coalition squabbles in party rooms, mining magnates write the real script, turning policy into performance and parliament into purchased theatre.
Advance Australia Where?
An investigation into how the group Advance, backed by mining billionaires and American consultants, is pushing the Liberal Party to abandon its Net Zero pledge.
The Hypocrisy of Hanson: Howard’s Political Love Child
Pauline Hanson wags parliament for Mar-a-Lago while One Nation surges to 15%. From Tampa to Family Court, how Howard’s bastard child betrays her voters.
Title: “The Carbon Question Time” – A Liberal Return to Canberra
Clarke & Dawe would have slaughtered the Liberals’ “Net Zero position”.
So here it is — as if they’ve just walked back into the ABC newsroom.
The Goon Show Goes On
A goon show. That’s what Paul Keating called it. ASIO chief Mike Burgess, a Marina Abramović in drag, runs political theatre dressed as national security, kneecapping the Albanese government’s China diplomacy with strategically timed intelligence bombshells. The pattern repeats, the press reports dutifully, and Australian foreign policy shifts without anyone deciding anything.
