“Not once, not twice, but thrice – that is how many times the former head of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union,Michael O’Conner allegedly told his union colleagues to inflate the cost of its promotional contract with the superannuation fund he also chaired.

First Super is a small $5.3 billion fund run for timber and joinery workers. O’Connor sat on the fund’s board as co-chairman from 2008 until 2024, after being nominated by the manufacturing division of the CFMEU, which was a shareholder in the fund.”

In October 2019, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority alleged that a conflict of loyalty had emerged for O'Connor.

APRA has claimed in court documents that rather than look after the best interests of First Super and its nearly 80,000 members, O'Connor told a union colleague that the renewal of a promotional deal between the fund and the CFMEU was instead an "opportunity to get some money out of the fund".

The contract was initially agreed in 2017 and involved First Super outsourcing member engagement work to the CFMEU, which charged a flat fee and also invoiced for contractors employed to do the work on behalf of the fund.”

How typical is this. Unions using your super for their own gain.

Nor is it surprising that the union offical is the brother of Labor Minister Brendan O’Conner.

It’s so blatant it just beggars belief that people still try to defend superannuation.

It’s nothing more than a slush fund for rent seekers particularly the Labor party to clip $40 billion in fees and perks from every year.

It’s time to make superannuation voluntary and stop ripping workers off.

With household debt at record highs and interest rates rising people should be able to pay their mortgage off rather than risk it on dodgy paper assets.

“Former federal Labor MP Craig Thomson has been jailed for four years for his role in a multi-million dollar visa fraud scheme and fraudulently receiving COVID-era payments.

In handing down his sentence, Judge Robert Newlands SC told the Sydney District Court that Thomson took money from people looking for visas even though he was not a registered migration agent.

The court heard he acted as a middle man while those applying for a visa could have gone straight to a migration agent.

He charged visa applicants up to $50,000 to assist with their applications, regardless of their outcome.

Judge Newlands said the offending took advantage of a system that involved self-reporting and trust.

"[Applicants] thought they were dealing with a skilled and trusted official," he said.

"The applicants were unaware of the fraud."

•••••••••••••••••••••

How many other rorts are going on in the immigration industry whereby shonky middle men are selling access to visas?

And why does the government implement a scheme that involves self reporting and trust?

Is it because the bureaucrats are too lazy to do their job and properly screen visa applications?

I suspect this example is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to corruption in the visa processing industry.

Last night the price of silver crossed the $100USD per ounce threshold.

After decades of being heavily suppressed by banks using paper shorts, silver like gold has broken free of the market makers. I.e. banks.

This is a very strong signal that the U.S. bond market and currency is under severe stress.

Silver has always been the preferred metal of the anti banking establishment.

The most famous proponent of silver was William Jennings Bryan, a former U.S. presidential candidate.

In 1896 William Jennings Bryan gave his Cross of Gold speech. It was the culmination of a decade worth of political debate over whether or not private banks should control the printing press.

Bryan and his followers wanted silver to be part of the legal tender to weaken the control that private banks would have if only gold was used to back the greenback.

Bryan lost his campaign to McKinley and the fight for a bimetallic standard was lost.

Ultimately private banks would win the day in 1913 and gain complete control over the US and eventually the world’s monetary supply, with the creation of the misleadingly named Federal Reserve.

Bryan was to be immortalised in a novel by Frank Baum called the Wonderful Wizard of OZ.

He was cast as the Lion, (Bryan rhymes with lion) Dorothy represented the American People, the Tin Man represented the worker and the Scarecrow represented the Farmer.

Dorothy wore silver shoes in the novel, not ruby as portrayed in the movie and the yellow brick road represented gold.

The Emerald city represented the greenback and the Wizard of Oz represented central banks, hiding behind a curtain that once pulled back would be exposed as a fraud.

It’s no coincidence that the US is sabre rattling more and more. Ultimately reserve currencies have to be backed by military strength to force countries into buying the currency. This is turn funds the military used to defend it.

In his “A chance for peace” speech Eisenhower referred to a cross of iron, implying that the power of the banks and the military were intertwined.

While gold and silver bugs may be celebrating the price breakout, we should be careful what we wish for.

These prices signal rocky times ahead for the both world peace and prosperity.

Australia is going to need politicians at the helm who understand global capital markets more than ever to ride the upcoming turbulence out.
