Whitlam increased the pay of federal public servants by 30%. He gave his blessing to Indonesia's takeover of East Timor. His resources minister Rex Connor attempted to nationalise the mining industry. He blames the governor general rather than himself and his incompetent ministers for his dismissal, helping to lower public respect for the GG's position.
Whitlam was one of our worst PMs and his few good deeds do not compensate for his many bad deeds.

Here's the thing, it's no longer about winning or losing elections but having the guts to buck the establishment and remove the insane embargo on clen cheap carbon free nuclear energy (MSR thorium) Just as all oils aint oils all nuclear aint nuclear.

There's more than one way to skin a cat and we can do nuclear many different ways and without more waste, but savagely reducing it!

I believe, Witlam was a goose with an ego a danger to shipping, and Elbow is an egg laying chicken who does politics (photo ops, makes announcements about announcements) way better than running the country!

Reminds one of a kid in a flashy car doing burnouts because he's got more money (ours) than brains. It's all for show and no go!

Whitlam was an egotistical twit, driven by ideology, hampered by the typical academic's lack of practicality. Something of a Don Quixote charging at half a dozen perceived windmills simultaneously, tripping over his academics stupidity. I think he respected the opposition, & was trying to do good as he saw it.

Albanese is an entirely different object. He is a hater, a nasty bit of work, out to injure anyone not in his camp. He wants to avenge what he sees as injury done to him & his, in his younger days, despite actually being given considerable support by the community.

Like Gillard & the NDIS, he is out to injure middle class society financially, & in any other way he can. He will recklessly throw our money at anyone if he thinks it will buy him a vote, his immigration plan is a result of this activity.

Long will we suffer from KRudd & Gillard stupidity, if we actually survive the onslaught of Albanese's hate.

"The Australian Council of Trade Unions has made the bizarre claim that company profits cause inflation, and the only way to beat it is to increase wages."

No, it is not bizarre at all. Excessive profiteering, which is definitely happening at the moment, does cause inflation.

Increased wages help alleviate the pain of increased inflation.

Increased wages= increased consumption. Increased consumption = inflation.

The only real way to restore equity is to massively reduce energy costs. And if the fossil fuel barons won't allow that then we must go down the nuclear energy road ASAP.

Nothing prevents that than a few conflicted, and I believe, bought and paid for pollies or braindead dimwits who haven't the ticker to pull back against their string pooling puppet masters.
