Election Takes from the Beach
I’m away overseas at the moment on a break - hence the posting has been infrequent these past few days.
I’m back home and back into the news cycle at the end of this week when posting will resume in earnest.
Appreciate you and look forward to connecting again in a week.
In the meantime, some quick observations of the election so far …
Tanya Plibersek was interviewed about Donald Trump’s tariffs. You can see a screen shot from the interview above.
I have to admit, I didn’t pay much attention to what she said for trying to work out what on earth was going on around her while giving the interview.
It beggars belief that the above screen shot is the visual the Albanese Government were happy to send back to the US while criticising Trump’s tariffs.
ALBANESE has promised to make supermarket price gouging illegal after the ACCC handed him a report saying there was no evidence of supermarket price gouging.
Trying to pin cost of living pressures on supermarkets (who make 2-3 cents for every dollar of revenue) is next level gaslighting.
Supermarket prices have increased due to Albanese’s insane energy policies which have increased costs at all levels of the supply chain.
I can’t believe people are buying this stuff from him.
LABOR has decided to make supermarkets and Donald Trump the bogey men of this election.
Their latest advertising campaign claims …
“We don’t beg and borrow ideologies from anywhere else in the world. The future we want is not an American style wages system, American level student debt not and never ever American healthcare. Labor believes in doing things the Australian way.”
I’d love Anthony Albanese to define “the Australian way”.
Is it the Australian way to bring in more than a million immigrants in three years?
Is it the Australian way to bring in 3000 Palestinians from a highly radicalised war zone with barely any security checks?
Is it the Australian way to pander to Muslim voters in Western Sydney?
Is it the Australian way to squander our natural resources, preferring instead to import energy from China?
Is it the Australian way to neglect national defence?
I could go on and on …
WHO’S writing Albanese’s lines?
I had to laugh at this …
“My opponent started his campaign measuring up the curtains at Kirribilli House while telling everyone else they can’t work from home.”
Huh?
How is Dutton’s decision to live in Sydney rather than in Canberra (where he will be when Parliament is sitting) contradictory to his policy that public servants should be in the office during office hours
Albo went on …
“He denigrates people working from home – we’re building more homes. That’s the choice.”
First, Labor would be hard pressed to point to a single home they have built in three years.
Second, demanding office workers work from the office and building homes are not mutually exclusive, for God’s sake.
And then, with a smile, he unleashed this banger …
“He’s dreaming about Sydney Harbour, we’re upgrading the Bruce Highway.”
Please.
Albo’s upgrading the Bruce Highway? He’s also spending $100M upgrading the road to his luxury cliff top home.
THE PM is just taking the piss, surely.
He said in Brisbane yesterday …
“Only Labor will cut income tax – Peter Dutton has promised to increase taxes.”
Five dollars a week, starting in 18 months, is not much of a tax cut.
As for the Coalition, cutting the fuel excise is not increasing taxes.
Albanese is counting on the electorate being completely stupid. And it’s working. He must sit in his office and just laugh as he looks at the polling showing he is in front.
SHAMELESS. There’s no other word for it.
Albanese promised in the lead up to the last election that he would reduce power bills by $275. Instead, power bills went up $1300 dollars.
Now he’s promising …
“We'll make home batteries cheaper, saving you thousands and slashing power bills.”
First, why would we believe anything Albanese says on power prices given his track record?
Second, we wouldn’t need government subsidies if power prices didn’t keep rising.
Third, what’s his plan to dispose of all these home batteries he’s promising to subsidise?
Australia once had the cheapest and most reliable electricity in the developed world.
We had manufacturing.
But then came the climate scammers. They infiltrated government. They worked us all over. And Albanese is either too pathetic to oppose them, or he is in on the scam.
What they are doing to our country is criminal.
Peter Dutton was asked to kick an AFL ball to a kid standing right beside a TV cameraman.
The footy hit the cameraman in the head.
So, Dutton kicks like a North Melbourne defender. And the cameraman marks like a North Melbourne forward. But I digress.
Did you see the tiny scratch on the cameraman’s head? And then the massive bandage they used to dress it?
A mini-band aid would have sufficed. But the cameraman emerged from treatment like he had just had brain surgery.
Hilarious.
ALBANESE was waving his Medicare card around during his speech yesterday, promising to save it from Dutton cuts that Dutton has never threatened.
What made me laugh was that as Albanese held the card aloft to a cheering crowd, his lip quivered as if he was becoming quite emotional.
Nothing to do with Medicare. The PM’s lip quivered when he realised he was standing in front of an Australian flag.
I’m going back to the beach.
Look forward to connecting with you all next week.
James
Jolly nice to hear from you. Your various takes on Albanese admirably illustrate the man's total amorality. He is a political animal: pure and simple. Why do people support him? A damn good question. I think it might have a lot to do with the general intellectual and moral degeneration of our society. We have become inured to public falsehoods to the point where we are unable to determine between 'Truth' and 'Untruth'.
Thank you, James - a great summary of what's right and wrong with our world. We needed that. Now, enjoy your break and charge YOUR batteries, cos you're going to have lots to talk about when you get back! 😀
