Australian Politics

The BBC of all places has tackled the prickly issue of the rise in Australian homelessness: “[Mary] is one of the roughly 122,000 people who are homeless in Australia on any given night, according to data from the country’s bureau of statistics”.

Albo from Marketing has taken to Twitter to proclaim that his government has delivered “more jobs, higher wages and lower taxes.

Albo’s $12Gj gas price cap joke gets louder every day: Triggering another round of electricity price madness: There is no movement to fix it and so it will continue worsening until there is a policy shift.

I have repeatedly argued that the Albanese government’s record immigration program is the main cause of Australia’s housing shortage and rental crisis.

For several weeks, Australian leaders have condemned the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

For some time, I have labelled The Guardian’s allegedly lefty senior commentators the “useful idiots” of capital.

As we know, The Guardian has a fatwa against the word “immigration”.

No modern economy can survive without affordable energy.

The statutory authority model, employed at the state level for power, water, housing, and various infrastructure services, was extremely effective over most of the twentieth century.

The intertwined areas of immigration and housing are two of the most significant policy failures of the Albanese government.

Narcissists appear capricious, volatile and difficult to manage.

You have got to love contemporary politics.

There is no “think tank” in Australia that has done more harm to households than the industry-captured Grattan Institute.

In this detailed interview with John Stanley from Radio 2GB, I discuss several critical areas of policy failure that are damaging the Australian economy and trashing living standards.

Earlier this year, the Australian Population Research Institute (Tapri) released a comprehensive poll demonstrating that Australian voters strongly oppose excessive immigration and a Big Australia. Tapri’s December 2023 national survey of 3000 voters (released in April 2024) reveals a sizable and expanding voting base concerned about immigration levels.

Federal Housing Minister Julie Collins continues to lie about the housing crisis and blame the former Coalition government.

Alas, this was so predictable: Resources Minister Madeleine King warned that Greens leader Adam Bandt’s plan to demand legislation in a minority parliament restricting LNG export contracts would destabilise international relations and trash Australia’s global reputation.

The Fake Greens have taken populism and loonyism to new heights with Deputy Leader in the Senate, Nick McKim, calling on the Albanese government to stop the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) from lifting interest rates.

Newspoll is unchanged at 51-49 to the government today: However, a new Freshwater poll has the LNP up by the same margin.

Sometimes this job is boring—interpolating data, watching indicators grow like grass, and watering the intellectual desert of the Aussie media.

Earlier this year, former ACCC chairman Allan Fels and transport expert David Cousins released a report warning that Transurban is robbing Sydney motorists and urging the New South Wales government to take control of the state’s toll roads.

Albo’s new energy shock appears just about over for this winter, with gas glued to his stupid $12Gj gas price floor: And QMA power prices are about to top out at $155MWh: It’s been a doozy and as prices fall into the off-season, I expect a higher low than last Spring.
