GREENS ARE THE SLACKERS PARTY
Lazy? Work-shy? Do I have a party for you: "Greens leader Richard Di Natale will call for a radical replacement of the welfare system with a universal basic income scheme where all Australian citizens would receive a regular, non-means-tested wage from the government, with no obligation to work." And grab a $500,000 "loan" from their People's Bank.
Lazy? Work-shy? Do I have a party for you:
Greens leader Richard Di Natale will call for a radical replacement of the welfare system with a universal basic income scheme where all Australian citizens would receive a regular, non-means-tested wage from the government, with no obligation to work.
A quick way to drive the country broke, especially with this bonus scheme for torching government money:
In a speech to the National Press Club today, Senator Di Natale will also call for the establishment of a “People’s Bank” to provide low-interest government loans to first-home buyers.
He will propose the Reserve Bank should offer banking services online, via Australia Post and other contractors.
It would offer a no-frills “mortgage tracker” account to homeowners, with those paying off their home able to borrow up to 60 per cent of the value of the property directly from the RBA.
Interest rates would start at 3 per cent, plus 0.5 per cent to cover costs. Loans would be capped at $500,000 for owner-occupiers, repayable over a maximum of 30 years.
Terry McCrann can't believe his ears:
PEOPLE’S Bank? People’s Bankruptcy.
In one stroke, the Greens have announced they are totally unfit to have any influence at any time on any government policy involving money...
The People’s Bank — a bad idea at any time — proposal is just embarrassingly inept... They would turn the Reserve Bank into a financial soup kitchen, doling out (up to) $500,000 in low-interest loans to most homebuyers.
They obviously don’t have the slightest idea how that would send property prices soaring... They believe that the banks will happily “top up” the RBA loan with a second one, but at the same interest rate they charge on their prime loans now.
The Greens obviously have not heard of first and second mortgages and the way a borrower has to pay a much higher rate for a riskier second mortgage.
SIGNS THAT UKRAINE COULD ACTUALLY WIN THIS
It's a miracle. There are now signs the Ukrainians could actually beat the huge Russian army. Watch the evidence.
Real men: Ukraine’s heroes shame us
Ukraine's heroes have shamed us. These real men have shown us something that we in the West think we've lost, having had manhood and patriotism beaten out of us.
SO TALKING ABOUT FAKE ABORIGINES IS NOW ALLOWED?
Amazing. Now there's even a play about white people pretending to be black, and the woke Sydney Morning Herald praises it. What a change from the days when it joined the pack attack on me for writing about this astonishing race-shifting. Read on.
We can’t sell our freedom for Chinese-Australian votes
Australia has 1.2 million people of Chinese ancestry. Now there are warnings that the Liberals should go soft on the Chinese dictatorship, to keep those voters happy. That toxic identity politics is a danger to Australia and an insult to many of our Chinese. My column here.
ROY SPENCER: GOOGLE PUNISHED ME FOR REPORTING THE REAL TEMPERATURE
Dr Roy Spencer runs the world's most authoritative measurement of the world's temperature, using NASA satellites. Google has now demonetised his website, where he reports the results. It accuses him of spreading "harmful" news - which is that the planet is not warming anything like as fast as predicted. Here he speaks on The Bolt Report.
What worries me most about Albanese
The Liberals are trying to smear and smash Anthony Albanese. But they aren't talking much about his real problem - the one that worries me most. My column from The Bolt Report.
