Labor's top strategist will deliver a speech next week explaining how his team won the recent election. What he won’t say is that it was a charade that will end in catastrophe.
I really enjoy reading your writings. I am very glad you are sending emails. I am at a loss as to how stupid the Australian public is to bring that vile Labor mob back into government for another 3 years. I didn't watch Alno's speech when he won and I can't stand his face or his voice, he has n o cuth (spelling?)or culture!
I am not sure it was about the Australian people being stupid, as it was about (to quote Rowen Dean), “…an idiotic voting system”. I encourage you to watch Fred’s interview with a Canadian Professor based at an Australian university who understands the fundamental workings of the preferential voting system, that I think inadvertently “tripped” a lot up at the ballot box. Labour’s primary vote was again incredibly low, increasing by circa 2% to 34.7% from the previous election. This means 65% of voters did not vote for labour on a primary basis (first choice pick). They were elected on preferences meaning a high % of votes were preferenced by candidates to labour. While the pref. voting system is flawed, a person you voted for passes your vote to a candidate you dont want. And, though I can’t prove it, in my view I think this was an oversight by voters who were rightfully disillusioned with both major party leaders & campaigns, therefore voting for other/independent candidates. The cold hard facts are the LNP really offered very little to the voters and what looked like a bidding war at an auction for the same policy. As in the Fred’s mentioned interview, all the LNP had to do was the opposite (from a Seinfeld episode, where George Costanza does the opposite to be successful). LNP’s strategy was a simple script out Seinfeld, I.e., do the opposite. Give voters a distinct choice; abandon net zero, stop immigration, promote a Royal Commission into the Covid 19 protocol’s (vaccines & mandates), acknowledge the homeless epidemic on our doorstep, tax big gas with a PRRT, remove tax burdens for the public, etc., I believe the outcome would have been very different & offering stability in the minds of voters. Personally I think Labour will capitulate within 18 months as people are already feeling discouraged with ridiculous policies such as unrealised gains.
"censorship, deindustrialisation, massive immigration, more woke indoctrination in schools, a digital ID, sending Aussie kids to die in Ukraine and maybe a compulsory mRNA vaccination or two"
Of these, the LNP also supports censorship, massive immigration, digital ID, and compulsory vaccination. Deindustrialisation and sending Aussie kids to die in Ukraine they are ambivalent at best. Sure, Dutton kind of opposed the "coalition of the willing" to fight nuclear armed Russia in a ground war, but this, like his "opposition" to the disinfo bill, was purely political opportunism. He wanted the credit for these things, not the ALP.
It's only the low hanging fruit of woke indoctrination in schools they're actually solidly on the right side on. And this is by far the least important of the listed issues. Kids know when they're being fed BS. They did in the 1970s and they do today.
Where does that leave us who care about freedom? At least the UK is actually pushing back against the major parties. It's worth remembering that it's not just Reform replacing the Tories. Liberal Democrats seem to also be replacing Labour over there. Remarkable.

Lies with a straight face
All our countries need a forum that if the elected party goes contrary to their election campaign…the people can vote no confidence
Victoria is our future
Perhaps the most self-indulgent and vacuous sulk I have read in ages.
Are you talking about Albo?😆
Gosh, Oscar Wilde must be turning in his grave with envy at such wit.
