Next election 2028!
Energy prices & house prices falling, housing supply up& immigration numbers continuing to fall, I expect Labor will lose many seats, in the anti everything movement, but hold Govt.
The only prospect of ON forming Govt. is in Coalition with Libs.& that's very uncertain anyway.

David Shoebridge is not acknowledging Labor strongly built regional alliances. Our strategic approach isn't just to turn to the US, it's a multilateral and multifaceted strategy; also includes establishing mutual &reciprocal relations based on trade &people to people relations with China.

"Barnaby Joyce, liberated from the Nationals into the senior ranks of One Nation, is growing ever more blunt about climate policy. His new party not only rejects any action to mitigate climate change, but also the very basics of climate science."

The global anti-climate movement is breaking politics here
But in Australia the fiercest battle is among the right-wing parties over policy “purity”.

The US headquarters of the oil corporation sponsored #AtlasNetwork (comprised of 550+ neoliberal "think-tanks" in 100 nations) is now reviving the Vietnam era propaganda language of 'winning the hearts and minds of the people'.

Here's the Canadian arm of the global #AtlasNetwork, founded and funded by oilsands investors Shell, Exxon & many other less well known fossil fuel interests who've worked for decades to defeat climate policy (and clean energy, and democracy) with endless propaganda. #Canpol #UKpol #Auspol #NZpol

“The people voting for ON are not our enemies. They are our neighbours with real grievances, fed a deliberate diet of misinformation & manufactured division, frustrated that their calls for action go unheard. They are asking the right question.” Includes suggestions re how to talk to them. #AusPol
One Nation Is The Wrong Answer To The Right Question.
Most of the voters being drawn to One Nation aren't racists. Here's what's really driving them - and what we do about it.

Terrific as always from Jac Maley SMH.

Though the expert she quotes isn’t right that ‘“our only hope” is that governments can hold their nose through social media outrage and trust that it’s not necessarily representative of community concern’.

Comes as no surprise that David Pocock would support the government’s new CGT and neg gearing reform.

He wants younger Australians to get a fair go in the property market without having to compete with greedy property investors.

Conservative parties should not offer cover for racists
Australia’s conservative parties have too often have purposefully or unwittingly provided shelter for racists.

I’m going to need to know which idiot nominated Scott Morrison for an Order of Australia (was it Jenny?), and how the 19 members of the Council for the Order of Australia thought it was a good idea to award him a prize. Makes a mockery of the entire award.

Sadly, the whole water industry disaster is just one example of the disasters left by the privatisation and deregulation policies followed by the Thatcher and Blair Governments. #auspol #UKpol
Thames Water disaster drags on
The Macquarie Thames Water saga may be coming to an end albeit at great cost – but not, of course, to Macquarie which has reinvested the billions it took out into other things.
