Australia and the West in general started to rot 30 years ago when their controllers became enamoured with global institutions. John Howard went for it, boots and all: particularly with climate rubbish.

Only the much sneered at Pauline Hanson got the message - apart from the sensible and patriotic Australians who were still in existence at the time. But, like PH, they didn't get a say.

Interference in our sovereignty was allowed by the politicians, mass movement of people was encouraged. We were handed over to global institutions and despots, many of whom weren't even remotely democratic.

The ‘nastiness’ of white people and the nobility of descendants of the Stone Age were bruited about.

Ever since, the people available to vote for have taken their orders from global gangsters, not their constituents. There are exceptions of course and voters might, just might, be looking to them to get us out of the mess.

Globalisation has deindustrialised Western countries like Australia, where there is a glut of university graduates without the practical skills needed to build the economy. And the graduates are looking down the barrel of AI anyway. What a mess.

It's a mess caused by the idea that you had to go to university to get a ‘decent’ job. Apprenticeships were sneered at as low class. So, off they went to “uni” (how dumb parents love to use that silly word clip to brag about their kids) only to see 25% of them drop out before graduation, and too many of those who made it now working in shops or cafes, where most of them can't even do a decent squiggle on the surface of a flat white.

To add insult to injury, and show how Albanese has ingratiated himself with his global mates, he has been named 'global citizen of the year'. He will receive the award in September at the UN.

Perhaps they could find a job for him, at their expense, and keep him circulating globally and away from us. He does like to travel, and it would be a relief for Australia to be rid of him.

An angry bitter old man fantasising that globalisation has created some kind of Western decline. Nothing could be future from the truth, globalisation has been a net positive for the world in general, including Australia. The integration of economies through international trade has seen living standards rise, not fall, as the naysayers would have us believe. Free trade agreements Australia has entered into has resulted in an overall national wealth increase, with lower import costs, giving consumers greater purchasing power, while delivering higher export income at the same time.

The Covid induced living standard reduction has been caused by two factors. One, the uneven distribution of the new wealth created, causing inequality with Australian society. Two, external factors such as Trump tariffs and wars, literally "fuelling" inflation, and higher interest rates domestically.

The anti-education diatribe is typical of the hard right uneducated spruiker, nothing new in that. As Hanson will admit; "I'm not the most educated politician on the planet." How true is that!

just wait to see what these total globalist grubs will do with a cbdc and digital id. China's pretty boy and his dei incompetents will make that tyrant Andrews look like a saint.

More misleading guff from the Usual Suspect;

The awarding by the Atlantic Council of the prestigious 'global citizen of the year' to Anthony Albanese is terrific news for Australia. The Atlantic Council is a prominent, nonpartisan American think tank headquartered in Washington, DC. Founded in 1961, It brings together political, business, and intellectual leaders to navigate global economic and political changes. Previous awardee's have included several US Presidents, both Republican and Democrat, along with many other world leaders. Australians should be proud that our PM and Australia is being honoured in this way. WELL DONE ALBO.

If globalisation is so good, the Albanese government wouldn't be up to its ears in debt, facing 5% inflation before the end of the year, with a couple of interest rate rises in the wind, sky rocketing house prices and rents, and the importation of unskilled migrants in a desperate piece of stupidity to avoid a recession - that's a fair dinkum recession on top of the individual one already suffered by ordinary Australians thanks to the rising cost of government, food, and just about everything they need to survive. And, a drop of 35,000 fewer houses built over the next 10 years.

Investment? Business gurus are advising young people to forget startups, and all investors should think about moving to Singapore or America, where red tape is much lower or non-existent - not just because of 4 years of the appallingly incompetent Albanese government over that time, but even more so because of the terrible budget just dropped on us.

And on mass immigration, far from helping us, immigrants are actually making us poorer because they are mainly unskilled and in jobs not contributing to growth.
