As Albo crashed living standards, Voice became irrelevant

We warned again and again. The fake left puts culture wars ahead of class wars at its peril:

The latest True Issues survey reveals that while eight in 10 voters wanted the government focused on the cost of living, just one in 10 felt the same about the Voice.

…Overall, the government rates below average (50) with a performance index score of 48, down from 52 in June.

“This is similar to the Morrison government’s final score of 47 in March 2022, prior to its May election loss,” Mr Scales notes.

Quite right. Alboflation materially worsened the cost of living crisis by failing to prevent the 2022 energy shock and stoking maniac levels of mass immigration.

In my view, the only thing keeping Albo ahead in the polls is the nag he is facing in the two-horse race with Peter Dutton.

But revulsion at our Pete will also pass if Albo does nothing. Especially if the opposition leader starts discussing an immigration freeze to take pressure off prices.

Recall that Tony Abbott was also a laughing stock while Kevin Rudd rode high. But the former judged the polity better, and the rest is history.

One-term Albo is taking shape fast.
