KEY POINTS

  • David Littleproud proposed a values test for temporary visa applicants to prevent importing hate.
  • This proposal follows increased street discord in Sydney and Melbourne since October 2023.
  • Australian taxpayers continue subsidizing rising specialist fees linked to the Abbott-era Medicare safety net.
  • Cost estimates for reaching Net Zero Australia are being misrepresented between $1.5 trillion and $9 trillion.

As Sydney and Melbourne’s streets became the latest reality TV drama since October 2023, Queensland’s David Littleproud suggested a new 'values test' for temporary visa holders. Unlike the standard citizenship test, this one aims to weed out imported hate — because everyone knows hate behaves like a bad party guest who refuses to leave. Meanwhile, taxpayers are joyfully subsidising specialist fees, a side effect of the Abbott-era Medicare safety net now 'exploding' faster than TikTok trends, according to The Guardian's 2025 updates. And lest we forget, some groups are misrepresenting Net Zero Australia cost estimates from $1.5 to $9 trillion, proving Australians love their budgets as confusing as their public transit.
