“They are pretty desperate”
When asked about the Dirt File, Helen Haines said Labor were “pretty desperate”
When you read over the requests put to journalists - in truth the PMs Office was very detailed and gave specific instructions to the press pack
The media had clear expectations of the work the PM was looking for
And it raises serious questions about media and government integrity, under Labor

THIS SHOULD END ALBANESE’S LEADERSHIP. It’s getting huge traction on my insta & facebook. It’s a massive story. All we can assume is mainstream media are silent because Labor Government have bought them with money they have added to taxpayer debt. It would be sad to be a main stream journalist in Australia in 2026.
REVEALED: It looks like every major mainstream media journalist must have been issued the Haines Dirt Sheet instructions by Albanese’s office
How do we know? Because they’ve all ***diligently responded by censoring the Haines Dirt Sheet story***
No media outlet in Australia has covered the Dirt Sheet other than News24 and the Daily Mail, who to their credit, broke the story
The contrast of Helen Haines’ personal integrity - to a Prime Minister who is actively targeting her - is why this is snowballing
It’s not going to go away. Surely the Prime Minister will apologise to Helen Haines, her family and her community. To not do so, knowing full well they all know his office was plotting against her, adds to their terrible suffering
The media are all going to look like complicit fools, if they continue the cover up

BREAKING: Albanese has been plotting against Helen Haines for the last five weeks because she criticised a $6 million grant to Albanese’s Marrickville Golf Club as “pork-barrelling by design”
Since then, Albanese has been on the attack. The day after her comments his staff gave a dirt sheet on Haines to journalists with a list of requests including:
-A list of Haines’ advocacy for projects in Indi of $1.8 billion then raising questions about the value for money and due diligence of those projects
***Asking journalists to check for personal or professional connections, donations, or undeclared benefits that might create conflicts*** framed as potential avenues to examine, not proven allegations…
Specific examples given included:
-Whether Haines had received undeclared wine or food from local businesses, held business interests, received political donations, or had personal associations with businesses that could benefit from tourism funding?
-For an $8 million Benalla Art Gallery redevelopment request, Albanese asked whether Haines had visited, been a member, donated, or had any personal professional connection with employees or the board?
-For a local recreation centre upgrade Albanese asked if Haines had played or trained with local clubs, watched games, or received jerseys/equipment?
-Made reference to her, and her spouse’s receipt of Mount Buller ski lift passes, alongside later requests for resort infrastructure funding
The document supplied no proof of undisclosed wrongdoing but Haines told the Daily Mail she had not seen it previously, and described the approach as “pretty desperate”
See how Albanese and Labor operate? See how the media play their part?

Media Release: One Nation will reverse Dr Chalmers’ budget experiments
One Nation will fix Dr Jim Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments by reversing his capital gains tax and trust changes. One Nation will also protect negative gearing for up to two investment properties and vows to fight any plan by the Treasurer to impose death taxes and taxes on the family home.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said Australians were paying for a Treasurer who had no idea what he was doing and the Albanese Labor government who just cannot stop spending and driving up inflation.
“Dr Jim Chalmers is experimenting on the Australian economy, and everyday Australians are his guinea pigs.” Senator Pauline Hanson said.
“He’s playing with your home, your rent, your business and your savings. When his experiments fail, Australians will pay dearly.
“He has smashed business confidence, cut off business investment and helped send the property market into free fall.
“Already, more than 1,100 households who bought through Labor’s expanded five per cent deposit scheme are now estimated to owe more than their homes are worth.
“Labor encouraged them into the market, then pulled the rug out from under them.
“They botched the ATO credit card ban and lied about their involvement. They were forced to back down on their widow tax. Now accountants warn Labor’s trust changes could cost Australians billions in unnecessary advice and restructuring.
“Labor couldn’t run a corner shop. But they know how to send one broke.
“One Nation will restore the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount and scrap Labor’s proposed 30 per cent minimum tax on trusts.
“The status quo of allowing unlimited taxpayer concessions for property tycoons was not working for Australians. The Liberal plan to back the broken model protecting property moguls makes no sense.
“One Nation would continue to allow Australians to negatively gear up to two investment properties.
“Anthony Albanese has pulled the ladder up behind him on young people trying to break into the property market, protecting tax concessions for existing properties. This includes the Prime Minister’s own ocean view clifftop house in Copacabana, the hundreds of properties held by his own cabinet and the thousands of properties held by property tycoons.
“The Labor government must answer whether members of cabinet who benefited from grandfathering negative gearing concessions recused themselves from voting on the measures given their conflict of interest.
“Australians should be able to work hard, invest and get ahead. For many young Australians, an investment property was one way they could get a foot into the property market.
“One Nation will end this disastrous experiment and reverse Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments.
“And we will draw a line around the family home and stop any plans for Labor’s death taxes.
“It’s not enough that you already work several days a week to pay for Labor’s uncontrolled spending. Because Labor cannot control their own spending, they will keep coming back to shake you down for more.
“My warning is that your family home, your super, and what you leave your children will be in the firing line next.
“Labor broke its promises on negative gearing and capital gains tax. Why would Australians trust anything they say?
“One Nation will never impose a death tax. We will never impose a tax on the family home.
“You should not have to spend your life paying for Labor’s spending addiction, then have them send your children the final bill.”

No one wants to be forced to watch SamsungTV
No one wants to be forced to watch news 24 or whatever the hell that was on my TV just now.
I am sick to death of resetting to Last App, just for you to override it a few weeks later. Over and over and over.
No wonder people are hacking their own TVs to remove all your spyware and anti customer software.
Do better

Honestly, screw you SBS and your gutless, older-people-blaming bullshit.
Why aren't you asking why governments are sitting on vast parcels of land, controlling land releases, strangling new housing supply with excessive taxes, planning regulations, development restrictions and bureaucratic red tape?
Why aren't you investigating how government policy has driven up the cost of building new homes, restricted supply and made housing increasingly unaffordable for younger Australians?
Instead, you turn your attention to elderly Australians who have worked, paid taxes, raised families, paid off mortgages and earned the right to live in the homes they spent their entire lives building.
Their homes are not spare government housing stock. Their bedrooms are not public assets. And they have absolutely NO obligation to downsize to compensate for decades of government policy failures.
The sheer audacity of framing older Australians as somehow responsible for the housing crisis because they have a spare bedroom is outrageous.
Stop trying to manufacture intergenerational resentment. Stop suggesting that Australians who have worked hard for what they own should feel guilty for keeping it.
The housing crisis is a failure of government policy, not a failure of elderly Australians to vacate their homes.
Start holding the people responsible for those policies accountable instead of targeting the generation that worked its entire life to own a home.
Absolutely disgraceful framing, SBS.
Almost nine in 10 households aged over 55 in Australia have at least one spare bedroom, and 60 per cent have two or more. That’s twice the rate of households aged 25 to 54, according to new research published in the GemLife Downsizing Australia Report. bit.ly/4dG2IGC

Ben Horowitz says Anthropic is one of the most negligent companies he’s ever seen on security
"The irony on these things is wild. Anthropic is one of the most negligent companies that we've ever seen in terms of their own security."
"They let Claude code, one of their crown jewels, just like walk out the door because they had such bad OPSEC."
"I'll tell you a funny story. So when we first got Opus 4.5, we were doing cybersecurity checks for the firm. So we had an agent basically set up a website for a pet store. And then we took another agent and said, 'Tell us if we can exploit that web store.' And it gave us all the exploits it could find. So Opus 4.5 wrote really buggy code. Great."
"And then we said, 'Oh, the SQL injection you found, is that actually exploitable?' And it goes, 'Let's pop it open.' And the agent using Opus 4.5 breaks into the website and steals all the [data], and we call Anthropic. And what they tell us is, 'You prompted it wrong.' That was their answer."
"So these guys are doing that on the one hand. And then on the other hand, they're coming up with theoretical scenarios about other people's software. That's bad. And so like, what the hell."
"On the distillation thing, you know, to build their model, they distilled the works of every author, every creative, every scientist for the last 2000 years. For them to be complaining about distillation, which, by the way, distilling a model is not even illegal. It's just a violation of the terms of service."
"It's just so much. And the fact that they get people to write things supporting these bananas, ridiculous, two-faced ideas. And the timing here is very suspicious."

And remember this trick from the BOM ?
They had this first graph of “Average Number of Very Hot Days" on their website for years.
But the data didn’t fit the alarmist "Global Warming’ narrative; 1953 had the most very hot days and 2010 the least.
So the BOM simply tampered with the data; cooling the past to the create fewer Very Hot Days prior to 1980 and warming the present to create more.
Then they simply swapped the graphs - but when they busted, they attempted to destroy the evidence by de,et ung the graph altogether.
The CSIRO are using cooked data from the BOM.
The BOM were caught red-handed tampering with the data of "very hot days", deleting very hot days of the past from and adding more very hot days in recent years.
For example in the BOM’s orginal data set 1953 had the most number of very hot days, and 2011 the least.
But this didn‘t fit the agenda of the Climate Scammers - so the BOM manipulated the data to fit their agenda, by quietly substituting the graph with the original data with the new graph containing manipulated data.
And when the BOM were busted, they tried to hide the evidence of their data tampering by deleting their altered chart from their website.
And now the BOM have a new graph on their website, with even greater tampered data - now according to this new version of history 2011 had more very hot days than 1953.
And the BOM get away with this, because they know the ABC will cover-up from them and never report this.
And this is the type of skullduggery & malfeasance at the BOM that weak politicians like Blackout Bowen say we can‘t even question.

Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling
“Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word."
"That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person."
"But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

DEAR AUSTRALIANS‼️
I love your beautiful, rugged and unique country and culture. Literally EVERY Aussie I have met ALL over the world has an open mind, is adventurous and trusting in the goodwill of humanity. It is a wonderful trait that I admire and envy greatly.
But your ELECTED LEADERS continue to ABUSE your TRUST and YOUR GOODWILL by STEALING AWAY your LIBERTIES; YOUR FREE SPEECH, YOUR GUNS, and THEN allowing the IMMIGRATION of people who HATE WESTERN CIVILIZATION and have NO INTENTION of ASSIMILATING to your culture.
This is even a greater BETRAYAL than what your TYRANNICAL Government did to ALL Australians during the cruel and inhuman (and unnecessary) Covid lockdowns.
It is my sincere hopes that the people of Australia will WAKE up and reclaim your rights and VOTE OUT these AUTHORITARIAN ASSH@LES!
Good on ya,
Love
Rob

How dare anyone suggest that elderly Australians should be pressured into selling the homes they’ve worked their entire lives to own? These are private citizens, many of them pensioners, who have spent decades paying mortgages, maintaining their properties and building their lives in their communities. Their homes are not government assets to be redistributed whenever their housing policy fails to deliver. Rather than pointing the finger at elderly homeowners, perhaps governments could concentrate on releasing land, lowering immigration levels, reducing construction costs, removing planning obstacles and actually making it easier to build family-sized homes. We know that Australia has a housing supply problem but that doesn’t mean elderly Australians have a moral obligation to sell their homes. How ridiculous. Private property rights should mean something in this country.

‘Fake meetings’: Special Minister of State's office finds no evidence of Anika Wells meeting amid birthday party travel scandal

Here is @AnikaWells brazenly lying about the fake accounts ("sock puppets") provision of the law:
She says, "Well, there is nowhere in the bill that gives the government, and by the government, in this instance, the independent regulator, that power. It's just not there."
Yes, it is there, as anyone who reads the bill can see. I'll paste it again below.
