Let’s cut the bullsh!t: if someone breaks into my house at 2am, I’m not offering them tea and f*cking Tim Tams. I’m putting them flat on their a$$ and making sure my family is safe. Yet somehow, in this great sunburnt country of ours, the system has twisted itself into such a pathetic knot that the homeowner is the one most likely to face charges.

Yep, welcome to Australia, where you bust your guts working 40–60 hours a week, pay eye-watering taxes, mortgage repayments that feel like extortion, and still cop lectures from politicians about “doing it tough.” And after all that, some grub who’s never contributed a single thing to society can stroll into your home with a screwdriver and a smile, and you’re the one the cops are questioning.

When did we start protecting the pr!cks over the people?

There was a time when Australia stood for personal responsibility, for protecting your own, and for calling a spade a spade. A thief was a thief. A home invader was a f*cking low-life. And if you caught one in the act, society applauded you for defending your turf. But now?

Now it’s all “duty of care,” “reasonable force,” and “the rights of the offender.” Mate, if you’re in my house uninvited at 3am with a crowbar, you’ve forfeited your rights the second you stepped through that window. That’s not “reasonable force,” that’s survival.

But our so-called justice system doesn’t see it that way. Nope. The courts would rather pat the intruder on the head, send them off to counselling, and chuck you — the victim — through months of legal hell for “assault.” Assault? He was in my f*cking lounge room with a knife, Karen.

The upside-down logic of modern Australia

Here’s how the system currently works:

• Criminal breaks in → instant taxpayer-funded legal aid.

• Homeowner fights back → police investigation, possible charges, your name dragged through the mud.

• Criminal cries about “tough upbringing” → soft sentencing, rehab, maybe parole before you’ve even replaced the broken window.

• Homeowner cries about safety of family → told you “should’ve just called the police and waited.”

Yeah, because the cops teleport to your house the second you dial 000, right? Newsflash: by the time they arrive, it could already be too late.

Real cost to real people

This isn’t just about bruised egos. This is about families living in fear. It’s about mums who can’t sleep because last time, the “offender” walked free while their husband was dragged through court. It’s about ordinary Australians who work, pay their way, and now feel like prisoners in their own homes because defending yourself might land you behind bars.

And what’s worse? The media loves to flip the story. “Violent homeowner assaults teen burglar.” Sorry — burglar was already violent the second he trespassed. But god forbid the headlines side with the bloke who actually did the right thing.

Time to toughen the f*ck up

We need to flip the script. If you enter someone’s home uninvited, you accept the consequences — full stop. No excuses, no sob stories, no second chances. If you get a kicking, that’s on you. The law should reflect that, not punish the people doing what the state can’t — protecting themselves and their families in the moment.

Right now, Australia’s laws scream: “We don’t trust you to defend yourself.” Well guess what? The criminals are loving it. Because while you’re scared of catching a charge, they’re not scared of sh!t. And that’s how you end up with skyrocketing home invasions, repeat offenders, and families left wondering why the system sides with the scum.

Conclusion: Who are we really protecting?

If the law isn’t there to protect ordinary Australians in their own f*cking homes, then what good is it? Right now, it’s protecting thieves, thugs, and parasites. And in doing so, it’s creating more victims out of the very people it should defend.

Australia, we’ve lost the plot. Protect the homeowner. Protect the family. Protect the people who build something. And stop coddling the ones who try to take it away.

Because if I have to choose between my family’s safety and some junkie’s “rights,” guess what? His rights just got stomped out along with his break-and-enter career.

Yeah nah, f*ck this.
