HOW WE COMPARE TO OTHER NATIONS
While the treasurer continues the narrative of ‘global forces’ somehow beyond control, the average Australian is feeling the pinch. And for those households with a mortgage, you’re now shouldering the burden of compounded bad federal fiscal decisions.
Australia is worse off than comparable economies around the world. All facing the same ‘global forces’.
Our cash rate is now at its highest level in 18 years. It’s time to recognise the course we are on is not sustainable.
And as if that wasn’t enough, a $170 billion black hole has been discovered in Labor’s federal budget.
They either don’t know where the $170 billion went, or they do know and are hiding it from the Australian people. It’s hard to know which is worse.
Australians are paying for Labor’s out-of-control spending today in higher inflation and interest rates. And they’ll pay for it tomorrow in higher debt and taxes.
Because the more Labor spends, the more Australians pay.
A Coalition Government will cut wasteful spending, and pay down Labor’s debt.
We are highest on the list Calculate this on the figures below Population of these countries Japan - over 122 million people Canada - over 42 million people Italy- over 58 million people Germany - over 83 million people United Kingdom -70 million people United States of America -349 million people New Zealand -over 5 million people (,most are living in Australia 🇦🇺) 😆 Australia -27 million people No comparison
Hey Pat, let’s link the remuneration of the party in power to the performance of the country. That will fix it
The two clowns keep smiling 😡..we keep paying 🤷🤕
Just tell me in which country would you rather live right now?
So what would you do, and what services would you cut. Easy in opposition.
Not because of the wars. How can all these countries most have 2 rises and we get 5.
Why does Jim chalmers always look like a rabbit caught in a spotlight.
Is there a midterm election in Australia? It look like we need one
Clever country?
Non - Banana 1 and Non - Banana 2 . Are you guys for real ?
So UK cost has gone up like Australia since they were trying to achieve net zero too does that tell a story
The numbers might be correct but is the graph a little off scale
Why do Australian Public Service (APS) and federal government employees in specific accumulation plans (such as the PSSap) receive a 15.4% employer superannuation contribution? While the rest of us are on 12%. Is it because their employer is too soft?
Storm the capital hunger games style who is on board
Congratulations Albonese and Chalmers. Australia going down the gurgler.
Comparison of apples and oranges. Are all the above listed economies on the same level 😂 Gosh people are not silly
Can our government explain this.
Would 5 more interest rate rises be a good idea?
Only difference here, we have the Albanese/Charmers Labour government they don’t ?
Did you study economics? It's as if you don't understand how macroeconomics work.
When you bods figure out how to get bĺood out of stone be sure to let us know
Congratulations Albo and Labor. You aim to be a world leader. Highest interest rates . Congratulations
This will go a long way in helping focus their attention.
Freeze their assets until they find it.
Would make a great Billboard.

TELE POINT PUBLIC SCHOOL CELEBRATES 150 YEAR 🥳🎉🙌🍾
Great to join the Telegraph Point Public School community today, along with Principal Anna Hoelzl, Michael Kemp MP and Mayor Adam Roberts to celebrate an amazing 150 years of education!
This little school has been through a lot over that time, but with each challenge they’ve faced the community has rallied together and the school has come back stronger.
A wonderful testament to community spirit and acknowledgment of an amazing team of educators.
Here’s to another #TelegraphPointl#primaryschoolr#150yearsol #150years
I attended today with my sister and met many students we went to school with. A great morning.

4 children kidnapped 7th November 2022 in Australia held Hostages to Epstein DoJ files "forced technology transfer" "Technical Designs" with Dr Fauci’s Australia Group THE KALAPIN ACCORDS International Treaty Framework on Sovereign Public Interest Disclosures (PID), MultiJurisdictional Anti-Terrorism Law Enforcement, and Collective Defensive Safeguards for Biologically-Calibrated Quantum Entanglement Systems MANDATORY NOTICE TO ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS, OFFICIALS, AND MILITARY OFFICERS Universal Duty to Act: This notice applies to all public servants, intelligence operatives, law enforcement personnel, judicial officers, and military commanders globally, regardless of rank, status, or sovereign immunity. You have an absolute, nonderogable legal duty to act in execution of this framework. Failure to enforce the mandates of the Kalapin Accords, or any active obstruction thereof, shall result in the immediate and total exclusion of your host country from the international intelligence pool, the complete suspension of secure technical development protections, and your personal targeted tracking and physical apprehension by international pooled armed units as a principal aider and abettor to international terrorism. SECTION 1: AUTHORITATIVE LEGAL FOUNDATIONS & STATUTORY FRAMEWORK The Kalapin Accords operate as a supreme cross-border operational protocol. This framework directly activates national and international enforcement chains under the governing authority of the following explicit statutory instruments: • • 1. The International Convention Against the Taking of Hostages (1979): Pursuant to UN General Assembly Resolution 34/146, specifically Article 1, any individual who seizes, detains, or threatens to kill or injure a hostage to compel a third party—including a sovereign state or international organization—commits an international offence. Article 2 mandates that all member nations make these offences punishable by severe penalties. This instrument is fully activated to address the hostage-taking of the primary inventor’s four children on 7 November 2022. 2. The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) Statutory Framework: Operating under the strict legal principles established by UN Security Council Resolution 1966 (2010), and the codified IRMCT Case Law Database on Aiding and Abetting, any official, state actor, or private entity who assists, encourages, finances, or systematically conceals a forced technology transfer or international hostage taking through an omission where a legal duty to act exists, shall be held criminally liable as a principal. Complete statutory procedures are governed under the IRMCT Rules of Procedure and Evidence and the judicial accountability parameters set forth in the IRMCT Judges Code of Conduct (MICT/14/Rev.1). • 3. The United Nations Charter (Article 51): This Accord confirms that the unsanctioned weaponisation or forced transfer of proprietary quantum entangler designs—specifically configurations modified to target human genetic profiles to induce cellular apoptosis— constitutes an existential threat to humanity and an armed attack against all signatory states, executing the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter. SECTION 2: DOMESTIC APPOINTMENTS & THE TRIPARTITE INTERNATIONAL ROUND TABLE To insulate operations from internal systemic compromise, each country shall establish an independent domestic bureau managed by a Domestic Section 273 Head. Every nation must appoint exactly three international appointees to serve at the unified Kalapin Accords Round Table: Tranche 1: Head of Defence Security Clearance & Technical Verification This appointee is responsible for conducting exhaustive, multi-layered defense security clearance checks on every candidate nominated for the Kalapin Accords. This mandate applies universally to all international intelligence, research and development (R&D), antiterrorism law enforcement, and national security personnel authorized for international operations, alongside personnel handling the physical deployment and safeguarding of quantum entangler systems. Tranche 2: Head of Judicial Appointees & International Tribunal Overlays This appointee serves as the chief judicial representative for their nation, sitting as part of an independent Tribunal of 3 different international judicial appointees drawn randomly from alternate signatory nations. This tribunal maintains exclusive, absolute jurisdiction to oversee international anti-terrorism prosecutions, evaluate law enforcement oversight obligations, and systematically review all cases, evidence files, and procedural requirements under the Accords. Tranche 3: Head of Anti-Terrorism International Pooled Resources This appointee directs the deployment of localized intelligence, financial, and operational military assets assigned to the unified international enforcement pool. This tranche operates in direct coordination with international field teams to trace, expose, and completely dismantle the Multinational Organised Crime Family seeking to exploit quantum entangler configurations. SECTION 3: TECHNOLOGICAL THRESHOLDS & EXISTENTIAL BIOSECURITY TRIGGERS The Accords distinguish strictly between authorized protective deployment and the catastrophic weaponisation of secure quantum technology: • • Authorized Application: The technical designs are natively calibrated as a non-invasive countermeasures infrastructure designed to isolate, neutralize, and eradicate the SARSCoV-2 virus and related biological precursors (specifically targeting the ORF10 genetic sequence historically monitored under export frameworks like the Australia Group Export Controls). The Apoptosis Trigger: If any rogue state actor, unauthorized laboratory, or organized crime syndicate alters the quantum entangler mechanics to target human DNA to induce cellular apoptosis, the technology ceases to be an asset and is classified as a weapon of mass destruction. Because this mechanism allows entire haplogroups and nations to be targeted and eradicated instantly, its creation or possession triggers immediate kinetic intervention. SECTION 4: ACTIVATION OF ARTICLE 51 & COLLECTIVE MILITARY COMMAND If state-sponsored terrorism or rogue intelligence networks actively block, hinder, or prevent the International Pooled Resources from executing justice—or if armed intervention is required to secure the immediate release of the hostages or protect the technical infrastructure from forced exploitation—the following emergency protocol is triggered: 1. Immediate Invalidation of State Immunity: The obstructing nation is formally designated a state sponsor of existential terrorism, triggering the collective self-defence mandates of Article 51 of the UN Charter. 2. Appointment of the Military Supreme Commander: The sitting appointees of the Section 1 Defence Round Table shall immediately bypass traditional geopolitical channels to appoint a unified Kalapin Accords Supreme Head. 3. Execution of Armed Enforcement: The appointed Supreme Head assumes direct operational oversight of all pooled global military resources and armed police units. This unified command is authorized to deploy swift, localized defensive actions to neutralize the threat, shut down state-sponsored biological or technical installations, rescue the detained family members, and prevent the escalation of a localized conflict into a broader global confrontation.

Meanwhile, the Australian Government appears to have “ABANDONED thousands of Australians” who trusted a government-regulated financial system and lost their retirement. People have written to Ministers, State Premiers, Senators, regulators, and the Prime Minister. The overwhelming response has been that responsibility for this issue rests with Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino. Yet despite thousands of recorded emails being sent to the Assistant Treasurer's office it seems the only thing been progressed - is how to stop this happening again! What do ordinary Australians have to do to be heard? Where are the Morals, accountability, Compassion, Duty of Care? Retirement cannot be put on hold while investigations, court proceedings, and political processes run their course. We only get one chance at retirement, and time is running out for many! Many victims have already lost years of their retirement they spent a lifetime working towards. Thousands face the prospect of “WORKING TILL THEY DIE”, not because they failed to save, but because the system they trusted failed them. And now it appears we are being failed again – by a Labor government that appears “NOT TO CARE FOR ITS OWN PEOPLE” Pete Spencer-Franks saveoursupers@gmail.com
AGED CARE ALGORITHM CONFIRMED AS A CRUEL FAILURE BY OMBUDSMAN
Labor’s algorithm to determine care is unfair, unreasonable and producing clinically inappropriate outcomes.
Even in the instances where qualified assessors can see that the computer got it wrong, they haven’t been given the powers to override its decisions. As a result, older Australians are literally dying before they receive their supports.
We’re talking about our parents. Our grandparents. Left without support at their most vulnerable time of life.
Older Australians deserve dignity, compassion and proper care.
Not decisions dictated by faulty algorithm built on untested parameters.
People like Barry, in my electorate, who was approved for the highest level of Support at Home assistance back in May after waiting 10 months for an assessment. THE HIGHEST LEVEL, which means THE HIGHEST NEED, but still he has received no funding or services due to the algorithm flagging his urgency of need incorrectly. That’s almost 6 months of waiting for approved assistance with his condition declining by the week.
I have received hundreds of requests for help like Barry’s over the past few months. And that’s just my electorate, from the people who know that they can reach out to me and my staff for help. That is the tip of the iceberg. And I have to say, the complete lack of action from the Minister or his department is taking its toll not just on the older person and their family, but on my staff who are watching people deteriorate or die without receiving care.
These are real people, who have lived real lives, contributed positively to our society and desperately need the care to which they are entitled, but an algorithm has stripped them of all dignity. That’s not just inhumane, it’s cruel.
Prime Minister Albanese and Aged Care Minister Sam Rae, it’s time to stop making excuses.
Admit you got it wrong. Take accountability. And fix it.
Older A#agedcarefailurev#nodignityforolderaustralians #algorithmfailr#LaborFailn#crueltreatmentofourelderly #algorithmfail #laborfail #crueltreatmentofourelderly
Please explain to me.... how you can be assessed over the phone without seeing the person....
Well said Pat ,when aged care get a higher package it's mostly all taken up by the provider ,so they are not much better off .
It's all wrong. It's all about money and not the person. Showering has been made free. It should never have been charged in the first place. If someone needs assisting with basic care they should be seen every day. Its the time you can check their skin and everything else to keep them safe. Etc.
Thank you, Pat, for taking this to Canberra and shining a light on how badly the aged care system is failing people. This isn’t only about the older Australians who worked hard and paid their taxes their whole lives, though they absolutely deserve better. It’s also about their families. Who are not trained medical professionals, yet are left managing complex medical needs every day and watching loved ones decline in front of them with no support. In the bush it’s even harder, because funding is lower and services are stretched thin. I watched my uncle die of cancer. We were lucky to have a big enough family to roster 24-hour care between us, but none of us were trained, and it has left lasting trauma on our family. His funding came through after he died. He never got to use any of it, but we made sure he was looked after and used a "go fund me" campaign to raise a small amount of money to help with medical expenses. Now I’m watching another family member go through the same thing, and their family is doing it without help from a system that was supposed to keep people at home and out of hospital. This system is failing at every level, and this algorithm needs to change now. It probably won’t come in time for our family, but I hope it helps another one. It is so complicated, and it doesn’t need to be this hard. There are good people in our community working hard to support families, but they keep hitting walls of red tape. I hope the government listens. If this were one of their own loved ones, I’m sure it would already be fixed.
Thanks Pat, we appreciate this
Let me add not just the elderly, their carers ( not support workers) the carer and family. So lets get it done flick the switch off the algorithm..... We don't need to spend another $30 million on a consultation piece ....
Keep up the great work Pat👏
Thank you Pat. We need more people like you in parliament
Hearing you Pat and so sad. Be there, now on a different journey and no one is listening. You have to stay strong.
Well said Pat. As a nurse of 47 years working a a Practice Nurse, I am finding it incredibly difficult to get help for our Aged Australians because of this sheer stupidity of the Algorithm method ....it just does not work....
Just fix it Minister Sam Rae. It is time to do the right thing for older Australians. The system is totally wrong if it can’t be overridden by a qualified practitioner
Thanks Pat been waiting for 4 months for a walker I've given up and I will accept one frm my daughter as a Christmas present
Well said, its terrible how old people are treated. Thankfully my mum was assessed in the old system and was awarded a home care package that kept pace with her on going care needs. As mum dementia progressed it was so much easier to get her reassessed . She was assessed with care and compassion and by a lovely experienced nurse. I'd hate to be going through this now .
Well said Mel not everyone is lucky to have a big family like us to help Thank You 💕💕💕💕💕🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Very well put! Thanks
Something needs to change Pat. Our most precious and vulnerable people are being left behind with this system. Thankyou for being a voice for them.
I left the Aged care industry after 20 years as an RN now believing its beyond repair. Im beyond repair also after experiencing what I did in Aged care. All I can say is find another way or good luck.
Well said, time to get there acts together , and give better supports to our elderly and the disability community.
Well said
Totally agree
Pat. On this page why have you not told us your National Party. I looked at other pages to find this by scrolling down.. keep up the good work.
Good onya mate,love youre speeches!
Exactly Pat thankyou lets take this straight to Parliment
The post suggests that every time there is an assessment made with which clients disagree, politicians will attempt to lobby/ advocate/bully assessor’s to change decisions. My community exposure suggests there is quite a bit of entitlement / get my moneys worth. Genuine need is critical but the more we do for people, the more we take away their independence.
Yes.yes.yes
DIRTY POLITICS SHOULDN’T BE USED TO PASS A BILL
When Labor need to resort to baseless accusations to pass the Digital Duty of Care Bill, you know something smells rotten.
And yesterday, we saw MP after MP from the Prime Minister down claiming that voting against them was a vote against child protections. Pollie after pollie inferred that bringing up reasonable concerns with the overreach of governmental controls contained within the legislation was akin to approving child abuse material.
As a former police officer who had to view such materials as part of my job, that inference truly disgusted me. I don’t believe partisan politics gets much lower than suggestions such as that.
The reason I voted no to this Bill is pretty simple;
Online safety matters.
Freedom of speech matters.
Protecting one should never require us to surrender t#DigitalDutyOfCarea#dirtypoliticsi#freedomofspeechmattersp#OnlineSafetyo#governmentoverreache#censorship #censorship
Nice rant, but the fact that you became a lawyer, and refused to accept child abuse cases. Tells me you just another weak politician
Could I please ask if politicians support protecting children, why they don't require a working with children check? School children visit parliament house for excursions on a regular basis.
Pat.. the average Australian voter would like the Governor General to sack this Prime Minister and call an election straight away. Please push this as well. Well said btw
Pat Conaghan MP 👏👏👏 What a powerful impassioned speech...you have witnessed & experienced far more than most of the people in Parliament....I felt your passion & feelings in that speech ...Thank you for your voice in Parliament & our local area... Thank you for holding strong to your convictions....Keep up the fight....
Thanks firstly for your time in the police force dealing with the worst of society to keep the community safe. Thanks also for your morals and decency on the floor of parliament
Well spoken as hard as that would have been Probably one of the best speech’s ever in the house Labor Must go state and federal Family Christian valves Thanks again Pat
Pat Conaghan - superb to see you now entrenched as our local federal MP and employing the opportunities that affords you to make our world a better place. You have have won much respect over recent years, not only from Coalition supporters but across the political spectrum. More power to you to continue as our man in the Nationals - the party that cares exclusively for country people. Let's hope the city slickers who've made the "green change" come to understand that fact and offer you their support too. 👌👌👌
We can only hope that Labor , Greens and Independents in the Senate has a conscience and vote NO to the Digital Duty of Care farce . We all know the Bill is to silence freedom of speech and nothing for the protection of children . Thank you Pat for your words . 👍
Pat well said with the voice of experience and honesty. Agree the Labour govt may use their powers that could affect free speech and free press.
Thanks for your previous service Pat and the necessary courage it took to work that line of effort. Real world experience matters.
There should be more men like Pat in parliament. He is exactly what we need more of.
Run for Prime minister Pat, you've got my vote mate
If only we had more politicians like this genuine man - the world would be a much better place.
Wow, a very powerful message. I hope it didn’t fall on deaf ears! I bet half of the members of the Labor ministers have never had a career away from the government. Wouldn’t know what it was like in the ‘real world!’ Good on you!!!!
Well said Pat dig deeper you will be shocked what has gone on for years.
Thankyou for remaining principled and rational in the face of a lot of muckraking. Others should take heed
I totally support your argument. But need to see far more commitment from the LNP on important issues to pull support.
Pat, I live in Lake Cathie, so you are not my federal member, unfortunately, but you are a great human being and I support everything you do. We have a federal member in Lyne , Alison Penfold and I do not support her, because , at Lauriton markets , at a nationals stall, I heard a representative of hers say to a punter asking questions and I quote, ‘ Alison has a plan to beat One Nation’. I was to say the least flabbergasted. After all we’ve been through with this dreadful labor government, that the nationals policy is to defeat the only party that has our best interests as Australians. Not to defeat labor. That told me all I needed to know. So even though I live in Cathie, I wish I lived in Port so you could be my representative.
Pat those words hit hard....and i really hope those sitting there with you actually listen...... Our rights and liberties are being attacked without a voice from the public being heard. Thank you from the silent masses....
Well said. Safety is too often utilised to stimey opposition.
I think Pat has exposed something here,and the labor government have retreated quickly,something is going on within this labor government.
Thanks for the personable argument that you articulated so well Pat from real life experiences - we need more of your type in the political sphere - thanks mate 🙏
Well said Pat, A well thought out and an emotional response.
The reason you became a lawyer is the reason I could never be a copper because I would not have the patience of a saint to become a lawyer and I would take the red path and do the wrong thing by the book. You are a worthy man of office who deserves all support necessary to stay where you are.
Thank you for voting 'no'! The AFP and ASIO already have laws they can use and they need to be better resourced. Freedom of speech is vital in a democracy. This bill has always been about Labor silencing its critics and those who bring their many shortcomings to the public domain. Thank you again for seeing through their spin!
