Australian Politics

The idiot MSM is at its gotcha worst.

As we know, the Albanese government is an inveterate liar on most matters of economics.

With the federal election campaign in full swing and voters heading to the polls on Saturday 3 May, the first batch of opinion polling has Labor leading the Coalition and Anthony Albanese ahead of Peter Dutton as preferred prime minister.

I hope the fake left still loves its ABC because it sure doesn’t love them.

Peter Dutton’s call for East Coast Australia to start reserving gas has drawn the usual vested interest shrieking in your mainstream media.

Progress towards peace in Ukraine is slow to the point of being imperceptible.

Recall that Tuesday’s federal budget forecast a significant slowing of net overseas migration over the forward estimates.

The ACCC is in panic mode about the gas shortage. We forecast a shortfall of 9 PJ in the east coast market over July-September 2025 (quarter 3) if LNG producers export all their uncontracted gas, and a surplus of 6 PJ if they only export their anticipated spot sales.

I was wrong to have written off Peter Dutton and the Coalition.

Let us recall the spectacle of Raja Albo dining with his fellow lords of Indian immigration over a damn good curry and discussions about how to gut the Australian border.

They keep trying and keep failing to describe what is going on.

Tuesday’s federal budget included the following explanation of how the decline in tobacco excise has resulted in the loss of billions of dollars in revenue.

Liberal leader Peter Dutton has thrown a cost-of-living Hail Mary at voters, promising to halve the rate of fuel excise for a year, which would cost the federal budget $6 billion.

As a politician, you have got to know when to hold them and when to fold them.

Earlier this month, I learned that a friend’s home one kilometre away had been the target of an attempted home invasion.

Treasurer Jim “chicken” Chalmers’ has released a hopeful new budget based upon some rosy assumptions.

Could it be that sense will finally prevail?

Roy Morgan Research has released polling, taken before Tuesday’s federal budget, showing that Labor (53%) has gained a strong lead over the Coalition (47%) on a two-party preferred basis.

Recall that the 2023-24 Victorian Budget expected the federal government to provide “a matching contribution” to the first stage of its Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) project.

There is no limit to the insanity the federal government will go to to pump the property ponzi.

Senator David Pocock on the gas cartel.

With the election expected to be called this weekend for a poll date of either May 3 or May 10, opinion polls remain too close to call.
