Recent Notes

There is no Australia anymore.

That idea died long ago and it lies buried beneath the rubble of a nation that could-have-been.

Now this island is nothing more than a random patch of dirt that houses tax serfs and debt slaves.

It hates me and everyone like me.

The political class abandoned me, the central bank robbed me blind, and the housing market’s a Ponzi scheme.

I can’t buy a home, or start a family, or be proud of my history.

They stripped out everything that made Australia a nation. Now it’s a husk, globalist sludge. A place where you and I exist and work, but build nothing.

So there’s nothing left of “Australia the Idea”.

There’s just “Australia the Place”: a geographic location where everyone is welcome, because our national religion is house prices and GDP.

I earn $200,000.

I pay $90,000 in income tax.

I pay a further $40,000 in council rates, land tax, GST, alcohol excise, fuel excise, license fees, car registration, get a new passport, and inflation.

My tax rate is 65%.

60,000 words into my novel and I realise that writing a novel is way harder than posting on social media because you get no cheap dopamine rush from likes and zaps when you finish a page.

But it’s infinitely more rewarding 💪

In 2032, we’re all augmented with GovTech.

There’s no unapproved thoughts or movements.

Every human action is run through the AI to ensure that it’s compliant with the relevant Safety Regulations.

It’s a new utopia.

We don’t know how those people from the Old World survived, with everyone permitted to just randomly move their limbs and think as they pleased.

It must have been chaos.

Australia needs to abandon its ties to Britain.

The Empire has fallen. The King’s been captured, it’s checkmate.

We need to start a new Kingdom Down Under.

Build a global superpower using our unlimited resources and natural border.

Terraform the interior, convert Darwin into a shipping hub.

Cut regulation and make businesses thrive.

No tax for families and abandon immigration.

Eject all the communists (and eKaren too).

But the ‘democracy’ won’t allow it.

It wants us to remain a weak testing ground for new globalist policies.

Censorship and CBDC; welfare and Digital ID.

Voting won’t get us anywhere because the UniParty is captured and they hate you.

The only solution is the People saying no.

THE NANNY STATE

I go down to the park for a beer with my friends. We all get fined for drinking in public.

We decide to go fishing, but apparently you need a licence for that now.

An afternoon on the jet ski might be fun. Oh no, you need a licence for that too.

But they're so easy to drive...

I have a new business idea, and start selling lemonade to people on this hot Sydney day. But this gets me another fine.

Why the f do you need a permit for this?

I watch Tucker Carlson with Zyn and think 'hey that looks cool'. I order some online but the TGA destroys it at the border.

How do I get my nicotine fix now?

A pack of ciggies is $60. That's too much for me.

Last night a gang robbed my house with machetes. I need a gun to protect myself from this lawlessness because the cops are useless.

What the? I can't even buy a gun?

I post online about the gang who robbed my wife. But it gets taken down and now I'm in Court for hate speech.

Since when was this a crime?

I get sentenced to prison but tell them I'm a woman.

I get a lighter sentence and get jailed with all the hotties.

Life's not too bad in prison. At least I can afford to live here: 3 meals a day and a roof over my head isn't too bad.

And the government will pay for my sex change.

Australia calls itself a democracy.

But in reality it is a tightly controlled technocracy.

Propaganda streamed into every living room 24 hours a day.

No protection of free speech, no right to defend ourselves.

The illusion of choice at election time between globalists in red or globalists in blue.

The tax system and business regulations are set up to ensure that government-approved corporations are the only ones who make super profits.
