@Ausbobsmit Don’t you love socialism

A despicable new low in Australian politics. I sat with Helen Haines on the cross-bench. Although we disagreed on many issues, she was always professional and a thoroughly decent person to work with. The kind and respectful words being said about her by many are 100% correct. Her criticism of Albanese’s corrupt rorting over the Marrickville Golf Club affair was absolutely correct. She was doing her job, holding the government of the day to account, and standing up for her electorate, who missed out on the largesse of that corruption. And remember, this wasn’t any ordinary rort — Albanese personally benefited from it, owning a property in the same street — and then he attempted to mislead parliament over it. Many politicians have been forced to resign over much less. And for that, it’s reported that our despicable Prime Minister decided upon revenge — that Helen Haines needed to be punished — to set an example to other cross-benchers: criticise Albanese, and they’ll come after you with a dirt file. And think about the timing: Albanese had his minions compile a dirt sheet on Helen Haines and released it in the media at the very same time they were finalising legislation to give the government the power to create false and fictitious “sock puppet” identities to disseminate government propaganda. The revenge attack — the releasing of a dirt sheet on Helen Haines — demonstrates that the Albanese regime is unfit to have such powers. And then there’s the sickening rank hypocrisy — Albanese calling for a “lowering of the temperature” and to “turn down the temperature” — this from a government that has vilified anyone who questions their economic policies as a “climate denier,” using the term “denier” to equate them to a Holocaust denier. And anyone who says importing a million people in two years is too many is vilified as a “racist". And anyone who opposes Albanese’s socialism is vilified as a “far-right extremist". What an absolutely disgraceful and disgusting government we are living under.

@graddhytrading Road, gravel or mountain biking? Post some pics!

Albanese has 59 personal advisors on between 250k and 480k per year each, they get 15.4 % super while everyone else gets 12%. If they get moved on they get massive retrenchment package and can work for someone else in parliament the next day. TOTAL REBOOT of taxpayer funded salaries NEEDED at ALL LEVELS.

Uniparty in action: Labor, the Coalition and the Greens just teamed up to block an inquiry into fair staffing. The Prime Minister personally sets staff numbers for everyone, including his critics. Labor: 507 advisers. More than 4 each. Albanese alone: 59. Liberals & Greens:

@graddhytrading Are you putting on a pilot position here or waiting for a DCL (close > MA(10, daily))?

@graddhytrading ETH?

@AlboMP BS. Gaslighting us about your intention to censor ON.

@shellenberger @AnikaWells Keep up the good fight

Wow, wow, wow. I just left the National Press Club where Minister of Communications @AnikaWells spoke. She repeatedly and brazenly lied about the fake accounts, claiming they were only for enforcement, even though the legislation says in black and white that the eSafety Commissioner can use them in unlimited ways for "educational" and "promotional" purposes. One big moment came when a Politico reporter got up and said something about how mean people like @PaulineHansonOz were to eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant. Seriously. A supposed reporter was white-knighting for a government official during the official Q&A. The same reporter had come up to me before Wells' speech and asked if I had criticized Inman-Grant. Who needs government censors when you have Politico? After he asked his question, Wells showed the most emotion, describing online criticism of Inman-Grant as "abuse." She also talked about her own staff's supposed suffering. I kid you not. The mask dropped, and you could see what really upset her: people — including a sitting Senator — criticizing government officials. After gaslighting the audience about fake accounts, Wells repeatedly insisted the government wasn't trying to censor content. She said this after filling her speech with examples of content she claimed harmed people. You couldn't make it up. This legislation is the culmination of decades of progressives equating words with physical violence. Wells cynically compared her legislation to prevent psychological "harm" to various laws that protect people from physical harm, like seat belt laws. BTW, Wells never said what content it was that she thought caused eating disorders. Pictures of skinny women? Dietary advice? Who knows. Nobody asked. Another important moment came when Wells explicitly said Australia would be pursuing censorship alongside other nations, including the UK, France, and Spain—all countries where governments risk losing power to populists. I spoke with Julie Inman-Grant before the speech began and asked about the fake accounts. She insisted they were there just for enforcement, and when I asked why the law allowed them to be used for government propaganda, she said she might write an "enforcement memo," which, of course, would have no impact on the legislation. After her speech, I went up to Wells and asked if she was seriously saying the legislation didn't allow the government to use fake accounts for government propaganda. She refused to answer. A man who said he was from the National Press Club stepped in front of me and said I could interview her afterward. But that wasn't possible because they rushed her out the back to avoid any difficult questions. So there you have it. The pettiest people in Australia are seeking to silence citizens and their political opponents in the name of protecting children. These deeply intolerant and cynical people want to control what you can see and say online. And they're doing it with most of the media's support. Australia has reached a new low in its rapid descent into dogmatism, intolerance, and censorship.

The government today will introduce sweeping censorship that @AlboMP & @AnikaWells lie about. Below she claims the government wants to create a bot army of fake accounts for “research” when the bill clearly intends for them to be used in partisan warfare against fooled citizens.

@HenrikZeberg I tend agree but we could also be at the start of the decline now. This weekly close will be important.

@Ryandally08 Communists love grifting

@DHughesy 👏👏👏

@Ryandally08 You can’t despise these traitors enough

“So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting & corrupting the people in every possible way. & hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts & the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished & changes into a rule of force & violence. For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others, & to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is enterprising but is excluded from the honours of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; & now uniting their forces massacre, banish, & plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages & find once more a master & monarch.” —Polybius The Histories, ~200 BC

@graddhytrading are you using Log or normal scales because these charts don't look the same as Trading View in Log scale FYI

@graddhytrading What's to say we're not going to get a higher low right here? Support has been respected.

@graddhytrading Thoughts on the AUDUSD?

I don't want to put words in Graddhy's mouth, but I'm assuming his world view is that the fiat currency system ponzi scheme is doomed to fail, and that the pristine collateral is gold & silver. You don't want to exchange that for a lesser asset, so if you need liquidity, work out a way to borrow fiat against it.
