Violence Escalates: Country Deteriorates



They had tried to kill him. The threats continued. Blackmail was illegal in Australia, but that didn't stop them. Be silent. Be still. Let the forces exhaust themselves.

The country had become a nation of devil worshipers. Awash with ice, or methamphetamine, the insanity, the madness, the dereliction, the random violence, the ill intent, all of it was manifesting.

He had been targeted. He did not quiver. We all make mistakes. We all let people into our lives we foolishly trusted; we didn't believe our lying eyes. It was all a crap shoot. It bothered him, for sure, as the forces gathered on both sides of the great divide, and the ancient spirits said: we will not let harm come to you.

So what was this, then, the evil that stalked. The attempt to kill him through a known weakness. Flaws in the Glass. An ancient evil. 

How was it, then, that we were here? And they were there. And you are where you are? 

How was it, then, that this country was collapsing before his very eyes, and it was as if nobody could do anything about it.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister was heading to New York, while his own country collapsed in his evil, pudgy, nonsensical, pampered hands. A stick, unpleasant, ancient evil.

Their leader, the man who had let the evil in. And who had lied, and lied, and lied, to everybody about everything. 


NEWS

Anthony Albanese’s Labor government, first elected in 2022 and returned with a large majority in 2025, is in the middle of its second term. Polls show his personal approval in clearly negative territory and One Nation competing with Labor on the primary vote. Cost of living, immigration levels, and questions about policy consistency are the main pressures.

Polls and political position

Recent polling (Essential, Roy Morgan, DemosAU and others through mid-September 2026) has Labor’s primary vote in the mid-20s to around 30 percent. One Nation has been in the same range or slightly ahead at times; the Coalition has been weaker. Albanese’s net approval has been recorded as low as the mid-to-high negative teens or worse in some surveys, described in at least one Essential poll as his lowest as prime minister. Preferred-PM questions still often put him ahead of Opposition Leader Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson, but the national mood question in one poll showed a large majority saying the country is on the wrong track.

Immigration

Net overseas migration for the year to March 2026 was 292,100 — down from earlier post-COVID peaks but still the main driver of population growth (about 74 percent of the 392,700 increase). The government has announced tighter rules for international students and working-holiday (backpacker) visas, a ballot system, and stronger action against visa overstayers, including expanded field operations. Critics on the right say the numbers remain too high and housing and services are strained; the Greens and some others call the measures a “race to the bottom.” Farmers have warned of labour shortages. The government says it is bringing numbers down in a measured way while keeping needed skills.

Economy and living standards

Cost of living and inflation remain the top voter concern. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has been preparing colleagues for a forthcoming intergenerational report highlighting long-term productivity and fiscal challenges. Critics, including some Labor figures and business groups, point to weak per-capita growth and reliance on population increase rather than productivity. The government cites earlier budget surpluses, tax cuts, and comparisons with other advanced economies. Possible further interest-rate rises have added to unease. 2026 budget changes to negative gearing and the capital-gains-tax discount, after an election promise not to alter them, drew accusations of a backflip.

Other recent flashpoints  A planned cap on veterans’ allied-health spending was dropped after public backlash.  

Nature-law reforms and an independent environment watchdog were not legislated this term; environmental groups blamed mining-industry pressure. A coal-mine extension was approved.  

Packaging-waste laws were also dropped.  

Albanese faced questions over an honorary golf-club membership and a $6 million community-infrastructure grant that benefited the club.  

The government is pushing further social-media and algorithm rules (building on the under-16 ban) and AI standards, and is taking the digital-safety agenda to the UN while seeking a Security Council seat. The Trump administration has criticised the tech measures.

Albanese is currently travelling to the United States for meetings with Apple’s Tim Cook and the UN General Assembly, emphasising online safety, cyber threats and climate. Supporters highlight the 2025 election win, social-media restrictions aimed at children, and attempts to manage migration downward. Opponents argue the combination of high migration, cost-of-living pressure, policy reversals and falling personal ratings shows a government losing control of the agenda. Both assessments are now part of the public debate heading toward the next election, due by 2028.



Greens Senator Faces Backlash Over Digital Duty of Care Comments
Last updated
In a News24 interview, Shoebridge said the bill would prevent amplification of what he called Pauline Hanson's hateful messages against First Nations people and Coalition genocide denial, framing it as smart system design for kids' safety. The proposed Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill 2026 targets serious harms like child exploitation and terrorism on platforms, search engines, and AI, with fines up to $109 million and stronger eSafety powers—consultation ends September 22. Critics, including Opposition Senator Sarah Henderson, called it a trojan horse for censoring views, while Shoebridge clarified it focuses on harms, not outlawing political speech. The clash underscores debates over balancing online safety and free expression as Labor courts Greens support.

Sensory Deprivation

  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...

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...
