Australian Politics

In the week before Christmas, the Albanese government unveiled their wet lettuce East Coast gas reservation policy, which will do little to enhance gas supply and lower prices.

Fascism has been so misappropriated by the fake left that we should define it before we discuss it.

In its first term, the Albanese government inked two migration-related pacts with India, specifically aimed at promoting migration flows to Australia: The Australia–India Migration and Mobility Partnership Agreement.

The news first.

Last year, I claimed that the Australian Treasury’s modelling of Labor’s 5% deposit scheme for first home buyers demonstrated that the Treasury had become the federal government’s propaganda arm.

No matter how hard you try.

For as long as I can remember, the date of Australia Day has been a source of controversy, with ‘Invasion Day’ protests taking place year after year.

With the release of the most recent Newspoll revealing that support for the Coalition on primary vote has fallen behind One Nation and to its lowest level on record (i.e., 22% for One Nation vs 21% for the LNP), it’s worth exploring what demographics are shifting their vote behind Pauline Hanson.

I noted yesterday that Australia’s East Coast is currently enjoying a flush of wholesale energy price relief, as a cool summer delivers cheaper, less frequently used gas-fired power to set the price for power.

Like Australia, Canada experienced a record surge of immigration once borders opened following the Covid-19 pandemic, with the nation adding around 1.2 million people in 2023 alone.

Yes, you read it right.

At the May 2025 federal election, the Coalition secured just 21% of the primary vote of the members of Gen Y, only marginally above the Greens at 19% and well below Labor at 37%.

Of all the hills to die on, this has to be the strangest.

Australia has experienced the strongest population growth in the developed world this century.

When DemosAU released its latest federal polling last week, it brought a deeply unwelcome set of news for an already struggling Coalition; they were now neck and neck with One Nation for primary vote, with both parties at 23%.

When an Australian major party loses a federal election, it produces an internal report, or, as elements of the media describe it, an autopsy of what went wrong and what may have been managed better.

The latest Newspoll revealed the enormity of the seismic shifts occurring in the tectonic plates that underpin federal politics.

This about sums it up.

When the Albanese government was returned to power at the May 2025 federal election, it achieved the strongest result for a first-term government returning to the ballot box since at least World War 2.

There’s nothing quite like the spectacle of the most hated group of people in Australia banning hate!

Since the Albanese government came to power in May 2022, the size of day-to-day government spending relative to GDP has gotten larger and larger, to the point where only the absolute height of the Covid panic saw government playing a greater role in the economy.

It’s baaaaack, and it’s not much improved.

Apparently, the obvious cannot penetrate Canberra’s immigration addiction.

Are LNG imports worthwhile given the approaching global glut?

During a meeting I had with a senior foreign economist at a major investment house six years ago, I explained how the mass-immigration economy would prevent any risk from engulfing the banking system.
