The East Coast gas cartel is destroying your living standards by injecting ceaseless cost-push inflation into the headwaters of the supply chain for every business in the country east of WA.
It is the core of household’s cost-of-living crisis as well, adding about 6% to the CPI year on year since 2021. By itself, not even accounting for spillovers into everything.
It has short-circuited the interest rate easing cycle as well.
Yet, it has done one more thing. It has so discombobulated the LNP that it can no longer judge its arse from its elbow.
Core support for the Coalition has crashed to a record-low 24 per cent, with Sussan Ley’s net approval rating plunging to minus 33 after weeks of Liberal and Nationals infighting, clashes over net-zero emissions by 2050 and leadership rumblings.
An exclusive Newspoll conducted for The Australian shows support for One Nation, minor parties and independents has hit new highs, as Pauline Hanson’s conservative party attracted a record-high primary vote of 15 per cent.
Combined support for the Coalition and Labor at 60 per cent is now at its lowest level since Newspoll first counted primary votes in November 1985.
This is why Albo loves the gas cartel. Even though it destroys the economy and would normally destroy his government as living standards collapse, it does even more harm to the opposition as it perpetually feuds over the energy transition.
Thus, Albo destruction is also driving a historic shift away from both major parties.
In business, we call this control fraud. It is when executives destroy their own company for their personal short-term benefit.
Albo is arbitraging the Australian national interest into the ground to destroy the LNP faster than his own party.
You are the mincemeat in his political grinder.
