United Australia Party Chairman Clive Palmer has congratulated Ralph Babet on his election victory in the Victorian Senate.
“The party is very pleased to announce that the United Australia Party will have representation in the upper house following Ralph Babet’s outstanding election win in Victoria,” Mr Palmer said.
“As a former business owner, Ralph understands at the grass-roots level what is required for economic prosperity in this country.
“He will take the fight to the mainstream parties to deliver a better economic future for all Australian families,” Mr Palmer said.
“As predicted by the United Australia Party prior to the election, increasing interest rates are putting Australians under growing levels of mortgage stress.
“The United Australia Party in the senate will always ensure that the major parties do not forget about the hardships faced by Australian families.
“As Paul Keating once said, Australia is in danger of becoming a banana republic. The United Australia Party is committed to holding Labor and the Liberals accountable for their actions and adding positively to the national debate for a better democracy for all,’’ he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Palmer said that the United Australia Party would be highlighting instances of electoral fraud by the AEC in the 2022 federal election.
“There are concerning elements regarding actions of the AEC which we will be bringing to light by presenting evidence,” Mr Palmer said.
The United Australia Party has also announced it would be fielding candidates in all seats at the upcoming Victorian state election.
“We will be running candidates in all Victorian seats to give the people an opportunity to elect representatives that care about the issues facing Victoria and all of Australia,” Mr Palmer said.
Former Federal Leader of the United Australia Party, Craig Kelly, has been appointed national director of the party, it has also been announced.
Germany has said the deteriorating gas market situation means Europe’s largest economy must limit the use of natural gas for electricity production and burn more coal for a “transitional period.”
Economy Minister Robert Habeck on Sunday warned that the situation is going to be “really tight in winter” without precautionary measures to prevent a supply shortage.
As a result, Germany will seek to compensate for a cut in Russian gas supplies by increasing the burning of coal — the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel in terms of emissions and therefore the most important target for replacement in the transition toward renewable alternatives.
…Jean-Luc Melenchon’s left-wing NUPEs took 131 seats. But the biggest surprise of the night was the success of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally. They won 89 seats, a result beyond the wildest dreams of Le Pen, whose party had only eight MPs in the last parliament.
‘We have achieved our three objectives,’ declared a triumphant Le Pen, who had been predicted to win around 25 to 50 seats. ‘That of making Emmanuel Macron a minority president, without control of power and that of pursuing the political recomposition essential to democratic renewal.’…
An Australian woman has allegedly been hacked to death with an axe by her father-in-law in Pakistan following an argument about bringing her children back home to Australia. Sajida Tasneem was allegedly gagged and killed in front of her father at a home she shared with her in-laws near the city of Sargodha in the country’s north on June 11.
According to a news report by BBC Urdu, Tasneem had been pressured by her husband, Ayub Ahmad, to leave their home in Perth and relocate to Pakistan with their three young children. She had wanted to return to Australia to give the children a better education, but her parents-in-law had confiscated the family’s passports and opposed the move.
In a Pakistani police report verified by The Age, Tasneem’s father, Sher Muhammad Khan, said his daughter had been arguing with her father-in-law, Mukhtar Ahmad, when he attacked her. Khan told police he found Ahmad hitting Tasneem in the head with an axe, and she died at the scene. Police said a person has been arrested and charged with murder, and an Australian Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said consular assistance is being provided to the family.

Rugby league has made a ruling on transgender athletes, banning them from competing in this weekend’s Test matches and the upcoming women’s World Cup, which will be held concurrently with the men’s event in October and November in England.
As for Clive’s investment, if Ralph Babet is a freedom fighter
I think $100 million is still worth it.
Clive loses those amounts down the back of the couch.
I would have thought that the $100 million would have bought a larger vote for the UAP than what transpired. Riccardo Bosi’s crew for example didn’t spend a cent on advertising yet they weren’t too far behind the UAP where they fielded candidates. Greenway NSW, UAP candidate won 4.3% of the primary vote, Bosi was on 3.3%.
If I was to ask 100 people at random about Riccardo Bosi, I’m sure most of them have never heard of him, so I’m puzzled at his vote given the total absence of advertising dollars.

Clive Palmer had the money but didn’t use it wisely. It was spread thin over the entire country, contesting all seats in both houses. The Teals focussed on a few seats and won 6-7 in the lower house and 1 in the upper.
If Palmer is serious about the UAP and has spare millions, he needs to get in professionals with skills in planning, strategy, advertising and the whole polling game. Have clear goals and pay the experts to do their assigned job. Instead of a noisy campaign of ads all over the place, plan well and work towards the goals.
The time to begin is now. And be prepared to learn from the lefties.
A British blood donor said he was turned away after refusing to answer a question asking if he was pregnant, citing that he is a man in his 60s, according to reports.
Leslie Sinclair, 66, told the Daily Mail he has given 125 pints of blood over the past five decades. But on his last trip to a clinic in Stirling, Scotland, he was told to fill out a form that asked if he was expecting a child or had been pregnant in the past six months.
After noting that he is a male, the clinic staff said they could not accept his blood unless he provided an answer despite a push by officials to attract new blood donors…

ACT Chief Justice Lucy McCallum said her judgement was made “through gritted teeth”, warning the line between allegation and a finding of guilt had been “obliterated”.
“The recent publicity does in my view, change the landscape because of its immediacy, its intensity and its capacity to obliterate the important distinction between an allegation that remains untested at law and and one that has been accepted by a jury giving a true verdict according to the evidence,” she told the court.
So Collingwood fine De Goey 25k for dallying in Bali with a lady. Despite no drugs like Bailey Smith, no complaints from lady about impropriety. No crime committed. Mark Robinson in particular needs to examine their role in this, he’s led the witch hunt.
