Treasurer Jim Chalmers is tipped to announce an increase in JobSeeker payments for people over the age of 55 in the budget, with Chalmers saying that this age group finds it hard to get a new job, even when unemployment is just 3.5%.

All that hard work diversifying away from China by Aussie exporters being undone at pace thanks to Albo’s China groveling: We know the strings that come attached.

From Malcolm Turnbull to Peter Fitzsimmons, why are prominent Republicans such wankers?

Well…if you have nothing but cartels and white shoe brigade politicians what do you expect?

Bonfire of the vanities or what?

I’m not talking about hating poverty, as we all do.

Mwahaha.

Last week, the Albanese Government used its cherry-picked Migration Review to cement the ‘Big Australia’ mass immigration policy.

Great video here on contemporary politics and the “woke mind virus” with Bill Maher and Elon Musk: I only dispute Musk’s representation of “left” versus “right” viewpoints.

Have a listen to bully boy Ray Hadley push around “doomed” Peter Dutton yesterday.

The Albanese Government is facing growing pressure from within its own ranks to increase the JobSeeker payment in the budget on 9 May.

Dictator Dan has already come and gone, getting up to god knows what given his media ban.

There is no good news for opposition leader Peter Dutton in the polls.

The job description of the progressive right wing of Australian politics is to pretend to care about the fallout for workers from its own corporate policies.

You would be hard pressed to find a bigger racket than Australian pharmacies.

This is some very bad policy news: The government is moving to weaken its $12 per gigajoule price cap for gas producers supplying the east coast market by allowing them to charge more, amid growing fears heavy-handed intervention is crashing investment and threatening future supply.

The great thing about being a China hawk who is fighting against his own country’s sell-out is that my greatest ally is always China itself.

This is so crazy that I’m lost for words: Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan has called for Australia’s National Cabinet to be held in China in an attempt to build relations between the two nations.

Doomed Dutton marches on to the inevitable with slides in both primary and TPP Newspolling: Doomed Dutton has the political instincts of a bollard.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has downplayed the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission’s (IBAC) report on Operation Daintree.

Resolve with the latest polling.
