Fantastic Steven thanks.

Not just worse than Morrison (a big achievement), but the worst Prime Muttonhead yet. The man is evil.

At least Morrison is gone - in disgrace on the backbench, unemployable anywhere else in Australia. His own party hates him. And, surely we are over Rudd and Gillard? All eyes should be on Liarbanese and his obvious intentions for a totalitarian, Qantas, and non-English speaking Australia.

Unfortunately, the length of time we have to put up with this creep is down to a stupid and disinterested electorate. Australia is rooted. You don't hear anyone but the most stupid and naive blurting what-a-great-country it is anymore.

WTF?

Albanese is limited in what areas he can focus policy.

The opportunity to set up a sovereign fund in the fashion that Norway has was shafted by the public.

I doubt anyone will go near that one for quite a while.

All the detractors had to do was say the word tax and it was over.

Labor got the short shift when they mentioned negative gearing and tax credits.

They don't have a lot to work with if they want to bring about policy change.

ttbn states: "non-English speaking Australia."

It continues to astound me that people do not realise that Australia has no official language. English is not the official language of Aust. and people are not obligated to speak it even if navigating society is almost impossible without it.

record immigration to undermine local workers.

Immigration is purely a mess hoe-grown by the Socialists but the undermining of the workers is done by Unions !

Yes, and nearly as useful as a silk stocking on a mermaid.

I thought ScoMo was OK but several women told me they couldn't stand him. I was a bit irritated by his repeated claims that emissions went down 20% when it was due to land use changes influenced by rainfall and state governments, not federal. Then I was particularly irritated by Albanese's smarmy victory speech saying everything would now be different including lower power prices, yet they have gone up by double digits in successive years.

It doesn't seemed to have twigged to Alabanese that housing shortages could be linked to immigration. I'd prefer a kind of frugal conservatism. For example telling a supposedly aggrieved group they should get a get a better result for the money they already receive.

I think the difference between Albanese and Morrison is that one is a cult leader of a cult party and the other is a cult leader of a formerly oconservative party.

Albo obviously feels inferior for having depended on welfare for housing life support & education, & hates that feeling. He transfers that hate to the general population of the country which gave that support.

Now he is in a position to make us pay for his feelings of inferiority, that he has earned, & he is going to make us pay big time. No one could be working to policies of his government if the wellbeing of the population was of any interest.

Hang onto what ever you can, he is after all our wellbeing with his hatchet.

Imagine the mentality of those voting for Albanese et al ?
Sleep well !

Albanese repeated his lies about the Voice as he was announcing the referendum date:-

. Lie: "This is something that has come from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders themselves.

. Truth: It came from a select group of aboriginal activists. Many aborigines are against the Voice.

. Lie: "What it does ensure (the Voice) is that advice can be given".

. Truth: We can all give advice now. The Voice would enable a minority group to make representations under the Constitution. Albanese has already admitted that he wouldn't be brave enough to reject the advice of aboriginal elites giving 'advice', more properly 'demands'

. Lie: The Voice is needed "to overcome the torment, powerlessness".

Truth: Aboriginal Australians are not powerless. They have the same vote, the same access to their MPs as the rest of us.

. Lie: "This is a 'gracious' request by indigenous Australians".

. Truth: It is a DEMAND for more political rights than anyone else. Noel Pearson has publicly stated that the Voice would be used to DEMAND even more if it succeeds - once they have a "representative body", a treaty will be negotiated - and who knows what else. 'Gracious' is an inappropriate word, meaning courteous, kind and pleasant, especially towards someone of lower status. It sounds bizarre coming out of Albanese's mouth, particularly in view of the aggression and rudeness spewed by the likes of Pearson and the 'racist' abuse coming from the Yes gang.

I watch what they do, and how they do it.
Over time I form an opinion of their ability.
As a spokesperson, Albo is simply not tough enough, nor wise enough, to be at the helm.
Peter is tough enough, but always uncertain.
He dithers and prevaricates.
So it is not surprising that 'the voice' is a mess.
It just needs a strong forceful leader to point out its deficiencies, and highlight the lies being told.
It is clear some very false 'truths' are being foisted on to gullible? voters.
It needs someone with access to a very public platform to bring these to the attention of the many.

Clearly 'the voice' is racism in full flight.
I trust the common sense of the people will prevail, and the 'status quo' will be maintained.
After the dust settles, our racist government must go.
Somehow, we must be rid of their nasty influence.

Albanese surely isn't as stupid as he lately comes across but his Voice pandering is nothing short of playing Russian Roulette with a full chamber !
On our local ABC Radio the host asked a politician "what do we have to fear from the Voice" ?
You could hear the politician's frustrations through the airwaves as he tried to explain to this moron without being branded a Racist in an instant !

Ipso Fatso

Yes. Lousy government. Lousy opposition. It's up to the people.

Australian politicians have never been worse than they are today. Voting NO to the Voice is an unexpected opportunity for the people to get them back on track; to make them realise that petty cultural nonsense will not be allowed to cover up their incompetence in just about everything that matters: the economy, cost of living, defence, education, families, immigration, environment, food production - all of the things that are important to all Australians irrespective of race.

Australia used to be a place where recognition was given to people who helped themselves; now, it's about socialist/Communist bribing of people who won't do anything for themselves and the ensuing slavery and obedience to elites that comes from it.

Politicians are not our friends. Every problem we have was caused by them; they are in no position to fix what they have broken.

If we want to take back our country and our future, a solid NO vote at the October referendum will get us started on telling politicians what we want - not what they want.

The latest example of government racism comes from Victoria, where a parliamentary enquiry has recommended a ban on duck shooting for everyone - except for people identifying as aboriginal. There should be another surge in the 'aboriginal' population before the next season.

What ttbn says.
Alan B.

A few of the lies:

Local aboriginals have lived here for thousands of years?
No they haven't.
I am older than most of them, and I have been here less than a hundred years.

They automatically own what their ancestors owned?
No they don't.
When something is passed down to you legally, that might be the case.
However, about 250 years ago they lost exclusive control of australia.
So their ancestors had nothing to pass down except knowledge.

Thinking someone has automatic ownership is a stupid idea anyway.
If I were to prove to another country somewhere that my ancestors had lived there for the last ten thousand years, would they grant me land rights, special benefits, and change their constitution to suit me?
More likely they would tar and feather me and put me on a boat to nowhere.
Or lock me up as being mentally unsound.
Or worse.

Time to accept that we all start with a clean slate.
Time to stop talking about 'aboriginals' as different people.
They are but loosely related to those long ago inhabitants anyway.
Most of them are more european than otherwise.
It is racist to treat them with such obvious difference.

And yes, right now they do get listened to far too easily.
And their 'misdeeds' get nothing more than a polite 'please don't do that'.
I have observed this personally.
Had I done the same things, I would be in jail quick smart.
This one-sided, lop-sided, situation must be righted.
Stop talking about 'aboriginals'.
We don't talk about others who live here, such as the polish, or canadians, or swiss, or anyone else, like that.
Why single out a few 'aboriginals', and treat them with such an obvious racist slant.
We are most definitely being 'conned' by someone.
And the government is far too close to the action.

Australian politicians have never been worse than they are today.
ttbn,
Yes, particularly those who had higher education !

Indyvidual

No education about real life or the real world, though.

The thing is that Albanese along with the ALP (not Labor) is actually a serious threa

Albanese's Voice proposal is only the latest manifestation of a push towards a new social order. A blatant attempt by a small group of activists to insert themselves into Australia’s rule book, our Constitution.

Things are going very wrong in Australia.

John Farnham has agreed to allow the Yes campaign to use the sound track of "You're the Voice.

That might remove him from the playlists of quite a few people and cost him a lot of money in the future.

The voice is bound to fail!

Why, because, cost of living pressures are biting and making folks hostile to a government that backs the voice, and, has no real intention of effectively addressing cost of living pressures.

By the simplicity of transitioning to nuclear energy ASAP, namely, home grown MSR thorium and power prices as low or lower than 3 cents PKWH!
Alan B.

So Peter has a belief now?
That means he thinks something is more likely than not to be true.
Apparently, he is talking about 'the voice'.
Which means he has considered the points for and against it, and decided there is more in favour.
It would now be considerate of him to let us know what these compelling arguments are?
Just what is it which makes his view more likely than not to be true?
Surely that would convince us as well?
Will he miss a golden opportunity to end doubt about the voice?
My bet is he will dither again.
He has made a political decision, not necessarily a truthful one?
So its validity cannot be sustained?
I think he has missed a golden opportunity to lead his party towards reality, and away from the world of make believe.
When he should have stepped up in to the leadership role, he stepped back towards oblivion.
I really wonder about his thought processes.

When I sit back and look at the farce which is 'the voice', 'cartoons' come to my mind.
Angela Anaconda for example.
With its twists and turns of 'human' endeavour, as the characters try to gain advantage.
Or perhaps Inspector Gadget?
Then we know good will triumph over evil, and we could have Penny and Brain to sort out the mess.
Or maybe 'lemmings' might best describe the action?
A very large group of people thundering thoughtlessly towards disaster.
And totally convinced they are on the right path.
Because they haven't thought it through.
Tomorrow they won't think so, but tomorrow will be too late to learn wisdom.

On thinking it through...
In particular, the recent 'kissing debacle' involving the spanish...
I asked sensible female acquaintances of mine what they thought.
They surprised me a bit by having very similar opinions.
These can be summarised as...
He body said yes at the time, but her mind might have said no later on.
Make of that what you will.

Peter Dutton has now pledged to hold ANOTHER costly referendum if the COSTLY Voice referendum fails.

To recognise indigenous Australians!

What nonsense! Is this to indicate that he is 'not such a bad bloke'? Or is it just another brain fart that he thinks will make someone happy? It certainly will not make the Yes mob happy.

I know that there is story from the-we-really-want-to-look-nice-even-though-we-don't-want-the-Voice people about the 'majority' of Australians approving of recognition.

But, is this true? The Constitution is a rule book - not intended to recognise anyone, certainly not different groups, or different races.

It might be just Liberal Party policy, which would see politicians again pushing what they want, and not what the 'majority' wants.

Anyone still thinking that the Liberal Party does not think only about itself - just like Labor - was left back standing by the side of the road at the time of the Howard election loss.

Dutton might not be a lying rodent like Albanese, but he is certainly a useless dill, and no sort of leader.

ANOTHER costly referendum if the COSTLY Voice referendum fails.
ttbn,
Are these people really so stupid ? I think I'll give up soon, I mean what's the bloody point existing with such morons all around ?

We’re witnessing a straight forward coup by elitists which as is evident, does not include the underlings in the chook run.

Cross post from Macrobusiness (influenced by the pro Russian Zero Hedge) masquerading as right on, even left and centrist, but is in fact right wing nativist libertarian & autarkist (authoritarian?), while dog whistling anything centre right through left & non Anglo/Irish or Euro, obsessively and often very nastily.....

The author starts with whataboutery citing Albanese, Morrison & implied conspiracy around the UN, then goes onto ignore the LNP, then raves and complains about a whole conga line of supposed issues, without explanation; year 12 opinion essay?

The author, like MB and too many old Labor types inc. Bob Carr, 'conservative ecologist' Tim Flannery, are linked to SPA Sustainable Population Australia, based on old fossil fueled ZPG with white nationalist John 'passive eugenics' Tanton (hosted on visit by SPA) and Paul 'Population Bomb' Ehrlich; astroturfing eugenics through faux environmental issues needing a 'solution' inc. border security on refugees, immigration restrictions and population control; encouraging bipartisan bigotry.

https://unicornriot.ninja/2022/eugenics-border-wars-population-control-the-tanton-network/

I'll give Mr, Saunders a heads up, the major sponsors of ZPG inc. the Rockefeller (Standard Oil - Exxon) Bros. Fund which gifted the UN's land in NY while seeming to 'own' the Sustainable Development Goals (& faux anti-imperialist 'tankie' Jeffrey Sachs demanding Ukraine concedes) and the Population Division responsible for the 'nebulous' NOM formula; can you join the dots on that, e.g. 'greenwashing' of both fossil fuels and eugenics?

Of course let's not go into their seemingly uninterrupted human research and trade links with Nazi Germany pre through post WWII.
