Trump hands Australia its worst modern government

The Albanese government was the worst government in modern Australian history.

It is a:

  • routine liar
  • political hack over national interest policymaker
  • housing calamity
  • energy price catastrophe
  • industrial horror story
  • budget wrecker
  • wages killer
  • living standards destroyer
  • immigration obsessive
  • China groveller.

The nation just handed this black hole government the largest blank cheque anybody can remember simply because it has Trump derangement syndrome. It is easy to see the polling trend break as Trump took the axe to the modern order.

The only solace we can draw from the Albanese government’s return is that it is so politicised that it has few substantive policies beyond mollifying whingers, so the damage it wreaks will be in slow motion.
