Wong has just shown her ignorance and arrogance toward Senator Price , She has also shown contempt for Jacinta's speech proving she has no respect for and does not represent the Australian people whatsoever

Also from Senator JNP:

Quote:Dear P2,

I was really hoping it wouldn’t come to this.

But I am being sued for defamation in the Federal Court, under the defamation laws of the Northern Territory.

On 21 July 2024, I issued a media release relating to the Central Land Council (CLC) and the governance of Land Councils generally.

I published the media release in good faith based on information provided to me by the then Chairman of the CLC.

Why? You know why.

I was elected to represent my constituents and to raise issues of concern that impact on their lives.

I take this responsibility very seriously and have always acted in good faith and with the paramount intention of speaking up for those who cannot.

You know me well enough now.

You know I will uphold the democratic principles including free speech that underpin our country. 

The action has been brought under the Defamation Act of the Northern Territory which has not adopted the amendments accepted by the majority of the States in Australia. The amendments were an integral part of improving the balance of free speech and the right to a person’s reputation.

If it goes well for them – defamation cases can go either way, after all – they might even bankrupt me and cost me my seat in Parliament.

But I will not go down without a fight. I will never back down on my principles.

And I’m writing to you now to make sure you heard that from me first.

The trial is scheduled to start in October.

Please think of me, but know that I’ll be walking into that courtroom proudly with my head held high.

Why? Because I’m doing it for you.

And I know you’ll be right by my side.

Yours for REAL solutions,

Dear P2,

The first fortnight of the new Parliament is wrapped up, and that means I’ve been back in the arena fighting for you and for marginalised Australians.

The opening week started with the opportunity to lay a wreath at the Australian War Memorial, and I was grateful to be able to honour our service men and women in that way.

It’s a stark reminder of what we are in Canberra to do: to fight for the freedoms those men and women sacrificed for.

The Coalition is ready to fight for hardworking Australians.

The ones looking to just get ahead and build a life.

The ones who are being most hurt by Labor’s neglect.

Aussies are crying out for lower taxes, for the government to sort out their spending, and for basic honesty from our leaders.

Unsurprisingly, Anthony Albanese has started his new term as Prime Minister how he finished the last one: putting his own political interests first.

He held his first Labor caucus meeting after the election and instead of talking about what his government will do to fix the real problems facing our country he bragged about winning even more seats at the next election.

Talk about politicians putting themselves first!

And that’s after he was in China, cosying up to their leadership, while our critical AUKUS alliance is languishing.

And then this week, Albanese copped criticism from two of the prominent Voice architects, Megan Davis and Pat Anderson, over his failures in Indigenous affairs. A rare moment of unity between them and I.

It’s going to be a tough three years under Labor for many Australians.

That’s what makes the privilege of serving as Senator for the Northern Territory something I take seriously.

You and I know Albanese is weak and unprincipled.

He is waiting to just score political hits, rather than address disadvantage.

I’m all in on holding him and his government to account.

And to fight for the aspirational Australians who need to have their voices heard.

Yours for REAL solutions,



Jacinta Nampijinpa Price
Senator for the Northern Territory
Shadow Minister for Defence Industry
Shadow Minister for Defence Personnel

The issue
Zali Steggall and the people of Warringah need to show leadership on immediate climate change ACTION. The proposal: wind turbines are to be placed along the foreshore, taking advantage of the sea breezes. Let's lead the way by example, for everyone who voted against climate action. Sign and spread the petition Australians! Let's do it for the children!

And for a classic viral YouTube short video, of a true blue Aussie entrepreneur Gerry Noonan, telling it as it really is...

RE: Snippets from around the traps - Peetwo - 08-10-2025

Dear P2 - Senator JNP on Albo's Garma LUV IN! 

Via email:

Quote:Dear P2,

It’s August, so that means it’s time once again for Anthony Albanese’s annual performance at Garma.
It’s his favourite venue for grandstanding and photo-ops.

All the while nothing changes for marginalised Indigenous Australians who continue to struggle across the board.
This year, the Prime Minister’s Garma address struck me as sounding a little familiar.

His big headline promise was $70 million for “economic empowerment” but which is actually a big handout for Indigenous “clean” renewable energy projects.

So why was it familiar?

Because last year the Prime Minister’s Garma address was also about economic empowerment and he also talked about clean renewable energy projects in Indigenous communities.

But in the past twelve months, nothing has happened.

He’s giving the same speech, getting the same photos, generating the same media coverage, and he’s done nothing.

Not only that, he’s having a crack at the Aussies who, like you and me, are concerned about the overuse and divisive nature of some types of Acknowledgements of Country.

He calls it a “culture war” and “cheap politics of division”.

He says people are turning the Welcome to Country into a “political weapon”.

Pretty rich from the guy who literally tried to divide us by race in the Constitution two years ago.

More than that, though, it’s a flat out lie to say that the people who think  Acknowledgements of Country are overused are the ones fighting a culture war or using it as a political weapon.

We are not the ones standing up and saying we’re on stolen land.

We are not the ones demanding reparations, or forcing kids to say sorry for past wrongs.

We are not the ones who make it some sort of social faux pas to say that European settlement has benefitted Indigenous Australians.

Albanese, like many left-wing activists, always wants to have it both ways.

He gets to be as political as he likes with Indigenous affairs, but the second you, I or any other Aussie pushes back, we cop it.

Well, that’s not going to stop me.

And I know it’s not going to stop you.

Until he starts offering REAL solutions, I frankly don’t care what accusations Albanese throws out and I won’t stop pushing back on his division every day.

Yours for REAL solutions,

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price
Senator for the Northern Territory
Shadow Minister for Defence Industry

Next Andrew Hastie calls out the Net Zero scam...


Plus the Hansard:

Quote:Mr HASTIE (Canning) (19:40): Tonight I'm calling out the moral hypocrisy of the net zero zealots. I do this on behalf of regular Australians, who are the ones bearing the cost of Labor's reckless climate and energy policy. But tonight I'm not just calling out the Prime Minister; I'm calling out the hypocrisy of the UN climate chief, Mr Simon Stiell of Grenada. For regular Australians, that's the bloke who travels the world, presumably on planes powered by fossil fuels, on behalf of the United Nations, demanding radical climate targets from countries who are signatories to the Paris Agreement and who have signed up to net zero by 2050. 'What is net zero?' you might ask. Net zero commits Australia to holding the increase in global average temperatures to well below two degrees of warming and to pursuing efforts to keep warming to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius. If you have further questions, many people do as well.

To achieve that, Labor has committed to a radical decarbonisation of the Australian economy. That's why they have introduced a tax on our heavy industry—the safeguard mechanism. That's why they're transferring massive subsidies—your money—to inefficient foreign-backed renewable projects. That's the Capacity Investment Scheme. That's why there's a tax on utes and four-wheel drives—to make diesel and petrol powered vehicles more expensive and move you to electric vehicles. That's the new fuel efficiency standard. That's why a tax on farmers is also coming with the obligation for them to report indirect emissions in their supply and value chains. All of this will have huge economic consequences, and no-one is really being honest about the true cost of net zero. If you question this, people are quick to call you a climate denier, but everyone knows that the price of electricity keeps going up. Everyone knows the price of gas keeps going up. After all, you're the ones who get the bills.

Labor's objective is to have 82 per cent of the electricity grid powered by renewables by 2030. So what they're going to do is move from cheap, reliable Aussie coal-and-gas-fired power stations to Chinese made, industrial-scale wind and solar farms that destroy our fertile farming land and our environment and will be very expensive and unreliable. It's a pretty bleak picture. Today we heard from Ross Garnaut, a long-time adviser to Labor governments, that Labor is not on target for 2030. In fact, they're going to miss their goal or objective by a big margin. To recap, Labor is driving our country into the ground chasing radical and unrealistic climate targets. The Australian people are paying the costs in power prices, in dropping living standards, in jobs moving offshore and in our national prosperity. The net impact is that we are less secure and less sovereign as a nation.

Now, onto the stage in Sydney yesterday walked the UN climate boss, Mr Stiell, and he urged Australia to go big on targets, saying we must avoid 'bog-standard' targets or the world will overheat. Given that Australia produces only 1.1 per cent of the world's emissions—last year we only increased our emissions by 0.3 per cent—my question for Mr Stiell would be: 'Have you asked China, India and Indonesia the same question?' Last year, China accounted for 30.7 per cent of the world's emissions, and they grew by 1.2 per cent. India accounted for eight per cent of the world's emissions and grew by 3.7 per cent. Indonesia accounted for 2.2 per cent of the world's emissions and grew by 6.3 per cent.

Has Mr Stiell asked Australia to halt the export of coal and gas to India, China, Japan, South Korea and other Asia-Pacific countries? Last year we exported 25 per cent of the world's coal and 20 per cent of the world's gas. No, he hasn't. So he can't really be serious on climate change. We are literally fuelling the world's largest and fastest-growing emitters with our exports. That's a reality they won't admit. But Mr Stiell has the gall to come down here and lecture the Australian people on climate goals and demand that we further weaken our economy, de-industrialise our country and transfer wealth from some of the poorest Australians to the most wealthy Australians. Here's the real kicker: that money is used to subsidise foreign energy interests.

Australians can't stand hypocrisy, and hypocrisy lies at the heart of the net zero economy that this government is building. We see hypocrisy from this Labor government, and we've seen from the UN climate boss. Who is going to stand up for regular Australians? Who is going to stand up for our families, our seniors, our workers, our small businesses and heavy industry, who bear the cost of Labor's net zero policies? Mr Stiell should come to my electorate, look the 3,000 Alcoa workers in the eyes and explain to them the true cost of net zero.

RE: Snippets from around the traps - Kharon - 08-12-2025

WOW! Just for fun ( a laugh even) - But, imagine if....

What a great action movie script; 'The Coco Dile' all star cast, Hollywood goodies and baddies starring; expletive riddles the script and much 'tough guy' action. All ruled by a serious, enigmatic Mr Big who calls the shots and pulls the 'right' strings. All shot in the Top End, 'dramatic' stunt flying, dopes on ropes, cocaine and booze parties with semi naked Hotties. Wow - what a story.

Scene 1 - A fast motor launch running without lights slips inside the international boundary; run by a lethal looking crew of foreign extraction; at a set coordinate a smaller craft is waiting on the GPS mark; they meet up, several large, heavy packages are off loaded onto the smaller vessel; and, they go their separate way.

The camera then tracks the smaller boat to a murky creek, the trees and vines dense and thick; then, after a while, the GPS 'pings' its arrival alarm and they stop; land and secure their boat. Next come the shovels and a shallow trench is excavated; the 'packages' are off loaded into the trench which is then artfully camouflaged to resemble a Salt Water Crocodile nest. They depart and; slow fade - the great silence of the outback descends.

Scene two - The silence is shattered about mid morning as a Chopper circles over head. After a while it lands in a clear patch and shuts down; two men emerge from the small cabin; check that there are no crocs about and dig through the nest top. Sacks emerge;containing many round objects which look strangely like croc eggs. These are 'marked' (as they should be) placed in the plastic collection boxes, a hand full of mud or two and; bingo - job done. They take their time, coffee and lunch - and after a suitable while; fire up the chopper and drift homeward.

Scene three - A hanger in the background and the boys all sat about the camp fire, drinking beer. A truck pulls up - "Got any eggs to collect Mate" shouts the driver. "Yeah Mate; in the shed."  The egg boxes are loaded; the driver stays for a beer and then toddles off to who knows where.

Scene four. The 'Boys' are out again; its been a moonless night and at dawn; they fire up for another 'egg collection' sortie. All is well, their 'eggs' are where they should be; they load, relax for a couple of hours and then start up, take off and set a course to return to base camp. Bang!! Bang!! then silence; the engine just quit. Down they go into the bush. One is left alive; then the phone call is made which sparks a major panic. There is a flurry of action, must beat the paramedics; must move the 'eggs' - must clear the evidence of missed maintenance checks.

Scene five. A steely eyed (glamorous) version of Sus Spence brilliantly spots some anomalies in the maintenance paper work back at HQ; she whistles up her favourite bag carrier and says "check this out". From then it is fast forward and brilliant investigators who stumble across the paperwork errors which undo our villains. The ending shows our villains doing six months community service for dodgy paper work; whistling, chatting, smiling, cracking jokes and smoking while they sweep up the leaves in the park. Their egg money tucked away for a while; all safe and sound. 

Slow fade to a tropical sunset. End of.

The moral of the tale should be - paper work is the most dangerous of enemies; so, always remember to dot those 'i's' and carefully cross those 't's. They'll get ya every time.

Aye; All for a laugh. Just could not ignore this flight of pure fancy; probably read too many novels. Cannot imagine the ABC making such a fictitious movie - can you??

Time for an Ale methinks; Toot - toot.
