Bunnings politics and the 2022 Federal Election : Comments

By Scott Prasser, published 19/5/2022

It is akin to going to Bunnings Hardware with a competitor’s product and price tag and asking them to beat it by 10 per cent as part of their lowest prices guarantee.

It would have been handy to have the article to read, but I agree with the Bunnings reference. Do what you can get away with, but if the competition does better, match it. Let someone else go first before; do better than them ONLY if you have to.

Yeah, it's sorta like that ain't it?

What we need is a massive economic growth to allow a trillion dollars of debt disappear!

Without a bevy of big ideas made into reality, our debt is just going grow and grow until the plug is pulled and those with the least have a lot less!

As for the bidding war? If the numbskulls couldn't be bought for comparative pennies? The bidding war would pointless and we could get back to the contest of ideas and policies?

In the final analysis, any government that has wasted so much of our money, shouldn't be rewarded!

If they are rewarded with a win? What will change!?

What the Author says is true - it is a sort of bidding war. What he omits to say though is the role of the media in this. Newscorp media (65% of news publications) have their agenda which aligns with right wing economic policies ie. neoliberalism and the interests of multinational corporations. They are 'propaganda rags' for these interests and for the Coalition which also puts these interests above the needs of the common people.

Roses. And what will the union puppets on the other side do? What they're allowed to do. Climate change is an issue that gets a lot of air! But SFA else in reality. Social housing would put downward pressure on house prices and way too many pollies would lose money, so we can't do too much of that can we. even if that gave the economy a great big boost!

Better folk should continue to live in cars or tents on the side of the road, a la the Great Depression revisited!

None seem to understand, when the least well off have enough/plenty, everybody in the food chain above them, does better! It's a win/win all round with a bigger discretionary spend! And money going straight back into the domestic economy! Well we can't have that now can we?

Instead, all we get is the triannual bun fight and bidding war with pennies and all too many times, chock fill of noncore/undeliverable promises!
