Australian Politics

Despite several corruption scandals, hotel quarantine breaches, the world’s longest Covid lockdowns, infrastructure rorting and waste, and Victoria’s budget plunging deep into deficit, Premier Dan Andrews strengthened his parliamentary majority in last year’s Victorian State Election.

I do love the mewling of the fake left over US ties.

You have got to love Canberra.

Melbourne’s break-neck population growth risks turning the city into an unliveable nightmare. After growing by an absurd 1.5 million people (44%) so far this century, the latest federal budget forecasts that Melbourne’s population would grow by around 500,000 over the five years to 2026-27.

Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, has launched a new housing affordability gimmick, proposing to abolish first home buyer grants because they have “failed to boost housing affordability”.

God I hope Mad Albo goes ahead with this: Anthony Albanese will use next week’s resumption of Parliament to give the government the option of an early, double dissolution election, using as the trigger the stymied legislation for his $10 billion affordable housing fund.

You can want to have good planning to accommodate a growing population, but what you get is a toxic scab grab.

Chicken Chamlers is so spooked by his failed first year that he has taken to smoking crack.

The disintegration of the Australian political economy is complete.

This is what we are dealing with today.

John Howard has always been an ahistorical tosspot: Former Prime Minsiter John Howard has described British colonisation as “the luckiest thing that happened” to Australia.

It’s almost as if MB is the last adult standing in Australian economics.

The Victorian Auditor-General found in 2021 that the state’s multibillion-dollar projects were being built with “fragmented planning” and secrecy, which was costing taxpayers dearly.

This is what we have come to and the fake left loves it: The major construction union will launch a national advertising blitz and push Labor to adopt the policy at the party’s national conference next month.

As Albo butchers everything in sight, Roy Morgan is recording big gains for the Dutton opposition: For the third straight week the political momentum is all in one direction in favor of the Coalition.

As with most things Albo, he said one thing to get elected then did another in power.

In 2018, I lamented how the “esteemed government organisation – the Productivity Commission (PC) – is facing politicisation, with Treasurer Scott Morrison appointing former Liberal Party staffer, Michael Brennan, to head the Commission”.

Has any politician in the history of the world marketed his family history as ruthlessly as Anthony Albanese?

Not that should surprise anyone.

“Teflon” Dan Andrews increased his parliamentary majority in last year’s Victorian State Election despite multiple corruption scandals, hotel quarantine failures, the world’s longest Covid lockdowns, infrastructure rorting and waste, and Victoria’s budget sinking deep into the red.

If you want textbook examples of how the Labor’s open borders nutters lie and obfuscate about Australia’s housing shortage, check out the below answer in NSW question time to MP Rod Roberts’ claim that excessive net overseas migration is worsening the rental crisis [my emphasis]: “The Hon.

This is a watershed moment for absolute tripe by a treasurer.

Premier Daniel Andrews’ decision to cancel the 2026 Commonwealth Games was the right decision, even though he should never have agreed to host it in the first place and will leave Victorians paying a hefty break fee (similar to when Andrews cancelled the East-West Link road project).
