Confirmed Sighting


Blocked. A Catastrophe. We are the Ancients or We are the Enemy. None of it made sense.

The country. "It's a fiasco." Governance. "It's a fiasco."

They were wheeling into the final furlough; well the final stretch for this part of the game. 

All faith in government had been lost. The silent creep was everywhere. "The world is so beautiful." Some days, that's all the had say. Hold fast. Hold steady the course. 

We are blessed. You are blessed. Blessed art thou. 

Russell Brand, charged yet again on allegations from the 1990s, as if it would be happening if they didn't spot money. 

These febrile times. The major parties battled over immigration and Islam. All of it was orchestrated. None of it was genuine.

The major parties tore themselves apart with their own hypocrisy, a fish man tearing himself apart with syringes. They had reached this low nadir. And then it was defeat. 

And the defeated, overweight, lazy, impossibly dumb, hobbled through the shopping malls on their pillars of fat once known as legs, and a chattering of ghost birds, and a sense of inevitability; they would come and find you when they needed you. 

Meanwhile, we are at rest.

Medicinal cannabis company offered 'kickbacks' to military advocates for veteran referrals


A medicinal cannabis company has been offering thousands of dollars in financial "kickbacks" to military advocates in exchange for referring veterans to its services, a 7.30 investigation has uncovered.

Under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act, receiving financial incentives for referrals may be unlawful. 

7.30 has obtained a recording of a telephone call in which a sales representative from telehealth company VeteranCann offers a military advocate a 5 per cent commission "in perpetuity" for every veteran who signs up to an ongoing medicinal cannabis prescription.

ISIS Brides: Video emerges of Tony Burke hugging Dr Jamal Rifi, Sydney man leading push repatriate ISIS brides

Footage has emerged of Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke hugging the Sydney doctor leading the mission to repatriate so-called ISIS brides from Syria during his election night victory party last year.


Last week The Nightly revealed Dr Rifi had travelled to the Middle East with Australian passports for the 34 terrorist-linked women and children trying to escape from a detention camp in northeast Syria.

Mr Burke has repeatedly insisted that the Albanese Government is not involved in the private effort being coordinated by Dr Rifi and had no knowledge of his friend’s overseas travel until it was revealed by The Nightly.

PBO’s migration analysis doesn’t add up


The Australian newspaper has used the Parliamentary Budget Office’s (PBO) budget tool to attack One Nation’s proposal to cap visas at 130,000 a year and aim for net-zero immigration.

The analysis claims that a net-zero migration policy could reduce federal government revenue by about $100 billion over the next decade, including nearly $80 billion in foregone income tax revenue. The analysis also suggests that total federal budget savings via personal benefits, Medicare benefits, and unemployment support payments could be less than $15 billion over 10 years.

The analysis also claims that federal government debt could rise by $419 billion over this period.

Tony Abbott Calls for Immigration Cuts Amid ISIS Brides Debate
Last updated
In his February 22 newsletter, Abbott linked rising infrastructure strains and social cohesion worries to elevated net migration levels, now at 305,600 for the year to June 2025 and forecasted to drop to 260,000. The push comes amid controversy over repatriating 11 Australian ISIS brides and their 23 children from Syrian camps, with two-thirds eyeing Victoria and critics slamming state leaders for silence. Coalition figures like Josh Frydenberg and Angus Taylor back tougher citizenship tests, security vetting, and prioritizing those who embrace Australian values, while Prime Minister Albanese vows any returnees will face full legal force and dismisses repatriation rumors.

It Began

Image
  It began in cyclonic circumstance, with the wind whipping off Bondi Beach as he struggled through a gale up and down the beachfront. There was no life. The bars were all closed or closing. There were few people about. The gale was a dark force, or remained dark within him, as he fled sanity and constellations of connected intelligences and instead buried himself in the ordinary, a collapsed individual seeking abnegation.  It was hard to know what brought it on; although the Sense8 style hiding from other operatives was always a part of it.  He could hear them echoing in the land beneath the escarpment, propelled from the deep spirits of the forest, caring for what he did not know.  He really did not know. He moped around the house and lamented getting older, more ordinary, more convinced of deceit and abnegation and ordinary things; longing for purpose or confidence or identity, or just youthful determination. He prayed for courage, strength and determination, and ...

Fraud: Clamouring Dissent

Image
  Foul beasts stalked the Earth. Australia became the kingdom of liars. Dissent was quashed. Fraud was everywhere. The government lied, the politicians lied, the intelligence agencies lied, and deceit permeated every aspect of everybody's life. Taxed into oblivion, taxed into servitude, modern day slavery, overwhelmed by strangers, forced out of affordable accommodation, he'll be lucky to afford a van by the time we're finished with him, the cruel hoax these people represented was literally everywhere. A sharp dagger rammed up through their guts and disembowelled them. A sharp bird flew overhead, squawking with piercing eyes, knowing too much and avenging strangers.  The sacred and the profane. We are all guilty, chanted the Christians, while the spirits swirled in indifference, and time flowed over all of them. It was the injustice, and it was the dishonesty, it was the deceit, and it was the blatant fraud perpetuated by taxpayer entities, that's what got to him. MAINS...

Sensory Deprivation

Image
  Under attack from some of the most corrupt elements within the Australian government, or that's how it felt, he had no idea how to deal with the torment being inflicted upon him. They were dishonest. They were liars. They had gained advantage through their lying. They had been tormenting him for three years now. It had begun at exactly the same time as his mother was dying a sad sad death made worse by the Australian government's endless Covid restrictions.  And it continued to this very day, chasing him across Asia. It was his 73rd birthday. And they were determined to destroy even that. Cloak yourself in armour. Be strong. Be brave. Let the storm pass over you.  How was it that these things could be allowed? How was it that this dishonesty ran rampant through the system? Surrounded by the buzz of an Asian city, he ran into an old acquaintance, Robyn, who had been stranded in Australia for three years during the Covid era. And that's what he said about Australia, it wa...
