A bit of trivia about the the trivial Blackout Bowen: in a huff, he has taken his bat and ball and left X.

Quote of the day:

“In reality, Labor is a socialist government which, deep down, shares the Greens’ anti-West, woke agenda but leaves it to the Greens to push more extreme policies. The Greens are the guerrillas of the culture wars whose mission is to restrict freedoms and incite class envy”. (Maurice Newman, ex-Chairman of the ABC; Chairman ASX; Chancellor, Macquarie University, and businessman)

Unfortunately, but accurately, Mr. Newman also says: “ ….. the Australian electorate seems ready for change but, too often, finds Liberal and Labor indistinguishable”.

Penny Wong gave a speech in the Senate:

" When the Albanese government came into office -
"inflation was higher and rising. It was higher
and rising. And now it's lower and falling. The point is,
inflation was 6.1% at the time of the election and now
it's 2.8%. It's less than half of what the government
inherited and about a third of its peak."

"Inflation remains a challenge but the government is
working hard to deliver a cost of living relief while
bringing inflation down".

And that is despite Peter Dutton opposing everything.
Pointing to their own record does not do them any
favours.

As Penny Wong points out - "Australians should be confident
and work together to deliver for all Australians.
They should be confident in their ability to deliver on
our interests for all Australians. And the government
is leading the way".

Opposing and criticising does not achieve any positive results.
Australians need to realize that voting for negativity
is to their own detriment.

It's time to clean out certain government benches.

Talking about quotes of the day?

Many believe in "carpe diem" or "seize the day".

Dame Judi Dench prefers instead of "Seize the day",
"Savour the day". It's less aggressive.

I tend to agree.

Look at the Albanese/Chalmers economy.

Australia is performing abominably. Our 7 consecutive quarters of negative growth per capita puts us among the worst in the OECD. The Leftist magazine, the Economist’, in 2024 could not list Australia in the top 20 of economic performance.

On jobs, the world's worst Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, bangs on about jobs created, but neglects to mention that most of them are in the non-productive public sector, paid for by taxpayers, directly and indirectly.

Jimbo also has the outrageous plan to misuse the Future Funder to favour the government’s pet projects: housing, infrastructure and renewable energy. That is: use taxpayer money to invest in stuff that will give very little, if any, return on investment. A shocking example of the government picking losers.

Albanese, in government, has presented us with the best warning yet of the new communism that people like him are no longer even trying to hide. A recent TV documentary on Cuba presented a glimpse of where we will end up if Albanese’s version of Labor is not removed this year. Like Albanese, Casto ignored the might of America, and Cubans continue to suffer after 60 years. Canada and Mexico have already heeded Trump's threat of high tariffs for their assaults in Western values. He could do the same to us - or for us, as many disillusioned Australians under the Albanese regime would think. Everywhere Western country but Australia, is turning around the woke, ant-Western, new communism still favoured by Fidel Albanese.

They got less than a third of the primary vote in 2022. Stats indicate that their partners in crime, the Greens, are falling out of favour, even with the young. Everyone is affected by all the government's efforts that have seen the cost of living skyrocket. If almost two years of the Albanese example of governance isn't enough for a landslide against him, it's Cuba for us.

I'm hopeful that Australians will do the sensible thing; despite the raging here of a couple of self-appointed spokesmorons for new communism, the ABC and the Guardian.

Dutton, the lesser of two evils, has to undertake to slash immigration and visa/work-seeking foreign “students”: things favoured only by Big Business. Dutton owes nothing to Big Business.

Dutton is no Trump (some we really need) but he will be a big improvement on the current rubbish.
