Everyone should listen to this great speech about Australia

Flat Out Like a Nation Sinking by Matt Barrie

Jewish people have been warned of the risk of antisemitic attacks if visiting Australia. That is all down to Albo, and his response to the firebombing was atrocious and gives no confidence that things will improve.

It should be noted that the current government has a
commitment to working with affected communities. The Prime
Minister has made it clear that every Australian - whatever
their race or religion should be able to feel safe and at
home in any community without prejudice and discrimination.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East as we've seen continues
to deeply affect communities across Australia.

Mr Aftab Malik has been appointed Special Envoy to combat
Islamophobia in Australia. The appointment of Mr Malik is a
crucial part of the government's strategy to ensure all
Australians feel safe and it includes and follows
extensive consultation with the community.

Mr Malik is a UN global expert on Muslim affairs.

Ms Jillian Segal was appointed several months earlier (in
July) as Special Envoy to combat Antisemitism.

The appointments are for 3 years. Mr Malik's appointment
began on 14th October.

We're told that:

"Australia's Counter Terrorism Strategy is supported by
a National Counter Terrorism Plan which sets out the ways
Australia prepares for, responds to, investigates and
recovers from, terrorist acts".

Dutton defends Albanese for playing tennis when he should have been on the job. Probably expects Albanese or whoever replaces him to defend him when he does something silly in the future.

The political class think much better of each than they do of the people they are supposed to be working for.

They just don't get it. Politicians don't get to be like the rest of us. If they want to be, they should get out of politics and get a proper job out of public scrutiny, and where they don’t have to sacrifice the pleasures of normal life for the greater good. Going into politics and taking on the responsibilities is a serious matter, and there are sacrifices to be made.

Newspoll, apart from revealing that Australians regard Albanese as the weakest leader in decades, has published the changes in intended first preference votes now compared to the last election in 2022.

Labor 27% Down 6%
Coalition 38% Up 2%
Greens 12% No change
One Nation 7% Up 2%
Other 16% Down 2%

Looks like the Old Fart with his political bias is cooking the books;

"A national Newspoll, conducted December 2–6 from a sample of 1,258, had a 50–50 tie, a one-point gain for Labor since the previous Newspoll in early November. Primary votes were 39% Coalition (down one), 33% Labor (steady), 11% Greens (steady), 7% One Nation (up two) and 10% for all Others (down one)."
