Australian Politics

There is evidence in the affirmative, at The Monthly, daily, whatevery: Many people were blindsided by the prime minister’s late-night announcement that the AstraZeneca vaccine can now be administered to those under 40.

While 12 million locked down Australians wish they were denizens of Melbourne today, Australia’s least liveable city, it is high time that we take stock of the benefits of The Idiot.

Goldman with the note.

The Auditor-General has issued a damning report on the federal government’s administration of the $660 million Commuter Car Park Projects fund.

72 more hours in the life of a disordered idiot and it does not get better.

Some terrific material was offered over the weekend by The Australian on the fiftieth anniversary of Gough Whitlam’s historic visit to China which began an opening-up process for a hermit kingdom that was to become a superpower.

Australia’s number one patriot, the former trade minister that negotiated the China FTA and the leasing of Darwin Port to Chinese interests before going to work for the new owner shortly afterwards, has declared it’s fine to seize it back: Landbridge says if it happens then it’ll spike sovereign risk.

You have probably seen retiring DFAT head Frances Adamson’s speech at the Press Club yesterday.

Brace for the China election.

It is most unfortunate that I have to write this post.

The New South Wales Government will deliver its 2021 Budget tomorrow.

There are calls for former government ministers to be banned from lobbying for companies for at least three years.

Yesterday, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg defended the Coalition’s proposed wind back of responsible lending laws, telling reporters they are essential to helping the economy recover from COVID: “Ensuring consumers and small businesses can get timely access to credit as the economy continues to recover from the COVID crisis”.

Anyone wondering why the Liberal-National Federal Government did a U-turn on Australia’s relations with China over recent years?

The fascistic Berejilklian Government is sinking into deeper hot water over its ridiculous arrest of a FriendlyJordies employee: Nicholas Cowdery, the former NSW DPP, said the “fixated persons” legislation was not designed for arresting comedians but for lone-wolf terrorists that pose a “risk of serious violence”.

How exactly is this supposed to get Labor elected?

The last time I wrote on FriendlyJordies was to give him a whipping for getting into bed with Labor and Kevin Rudd.

Labor knows well the power of mining.

Australia’s personality-disordered PM, Scott Morrison, is galavanting around the world drumming up support to contain China.

Australia’s magnificent strategic realignment continues at pace today.

Australia’s personality disordered PM Scott Morrison was approached by Pfizer in July last year and asked how many doses we needed.
