Australian Politics

“Tiny” Tim Wilson’s war of survival in Goldstein continues today with reports that the LNP has tried and failed to unleash its dirt files against his independent challenger, Zoe Daniel: In December, [Andrew] Bragg asked some very pointed questions about Daniel, which the ABC took on notice.

It’s so marvelously symbolic of the “Psycho” Morrison Government.

“Tiny” Tim Wilson has managed to shut down the political freedom of his constituents: Independent Zoe Daniel has appealed against a council ruling that political signs cannot be erected until the election is called, arguing it is inconsistent with its own advice and neighbouring councils which have allowed Josh Frydenberg signs.

The question must be asked.

The NSW Supreme Court has braved the wroth of “Psycho” Morrison’s dark and hungry god by shooting down his attempt to stack the NSW branch with sleaze cult loons: Scott Morrison’s bid to take over the administrative wing of the NSW Liberal Party ahead of the federal election has suffered a setback.

A global, US-based anti-corruption alliance has threatened that it could pull Australia’s membership following the Morrison Government’s failure to implement anti-corruption measures: The Australian government signed up to the Open Government Partnership in 2015, a 78-country multilateral initiative designed to promote open government, fight corruption and empower citizen participation in policymaking.

The electorate of Goldstein will surely turf “Tiny” Tim Wilson come May.

With the “Psycho” Morrison Government collapsing into ignominy, the AFR has done a lengthy profile of Albo and his first-term agenda: Albanese has judged that the Australian public is in no mood for dramatic change.

In what is fast becoming an LNP conflagration of the vanities, former foreign minister Jule Bishop has demanded that “Psycho” Morrison back off China: Former foreign minister Julie Bishop says all parliamentarians should heed the words of ASIO director-general Mike Burgess and avoid politicising national security and foreign policy.

The beauty of being a card-carrying libertarian is that you can justify anything so long as it benefits numero uno.

Just days after the Grattan Institute proposed a shared equity scheme, the NSW Government has flagged a scheme of its own which economists have labelled a “band-aid solution”: Under the plan, first-time buyers would receive a contribution from the state government for their housing deposit in return for equity in the property.

It had to happen.

Labor has extended its election lead over the Coalition, according to the latest Guardian Essential Poll: The ALP is on 49% and the Coalition is on 45% on a two party preferred basis, while 6% of voters are undecided: The ALP’s primary vote has climbed to 38%, above the Coalition’s 35%.

Apparently, yes.

Australian Conservative political movements are no strangers to irrationality and fear.

The imminent conflict in Ukraine is the “Psycho” Morrison Government’s latest attempt to wag the dog: Scott Morrison has said Australia won’t send troops to Ukraine in the event of an invasion by Russia but will provide “practical” assistance to allies.

In the lead up to the last federal election Prime Minister Scott Morrison promised a national anti-corruption commission.

The lefty MSM doesn’t get what’s going on.

There’s no stopping “Psycho” Morrison.
