“The Bloated Beast”

Australia has one of the most bloated government workforces in the Western world—and it’s choking the life out of our economy and our freedom. We’ve got layers upon layers of bureaucrats pushing paper, creating red tape, and dreaming up new ways to justify their own existence while producing nothing of real value. They don’t build, they don’t farm, they don’t innovate—they regulate, restrict, and ride the taxpayer gravy train straight to pension paradise.

The private sector—the real engine of productivity—is getting strangled while public sector salaries balloon, paid for by those of us who actually produce. It's a parasitic relationship, and we’re the host.

This isn’t just inefficiency anymore—it’s ideology. When the government becomes the largest employer, the line between state and citizen blurs. That’s not a democracy—it’s socialism on training wheels. We're marching toward a system where the state controls more and more of your life while pretending it’s for your own good.

If we don’t cut back now, we won’t just be broke—we’ll be a nation of dependents ruled by unelected desk jockeys with diversity training certificates and zero real-world skills. Enough is enough. Shrink the beast before it devours the country.
