WA Election outcome

The outcome of the WA election, another whitewash for feeble and weak opposition, should cause our Prime Minister to jump for joy and clap his hands in glee. The Liberals and Nationals’ failure to cooperate and be a conjoint party pair is their undoing and confirms that implosion still shatters their reputation and electoral chances in that state.

Where is Aimless Australia going

I hope one of the major parties wins the upcoming Federal election. If we have a hung parliament, mainly if that involves Labor on the government benches, this country is in for a time of recriminative shellacking. We need a firm, capable, able, and authoritative government. Australia desperately needs stabilisation, and right now, we are about as stable as swirling water in a washing machine.

Alfred is coming as Peteer Dutton goes dining

Recent events, including cyclones and floods, put Anthony Albanese in the box seat over Peter Dutton as the preferred PM on election day. The PM has been out and about, front and centre, in showing leadership, care and empathy for people, while the Leader of the Opposition has been far less visible. His jetting off from Queensland and his electorate under severe threat conditions, from Alfred to dinner in Sydney to raise funds for the Liberal Party, does not paint him in a good light—it is his ‘Scott Morrison’ – Hawaii – moment.

Chris Bowen  –  energy guru

Chris Bowen

A visionary 

A man who looks to the future of Australian utopia in terms of renewables

A minister whose transactions often start well, but when the ‘reality’ of the ‘vision’ knicks in, the vision is kicked out and those who have been offered largesses to become the art of the scheme withdraw. 

Chris Bowen, however,

Never shirks from the vision.

That is his consistency.

Overcoming territorial dissidence

Just give Ukraine and all the countries that flowed from the USSR dismantlement back to Russia. Let them all be drawn back into the fold. Problem solved.

A newfound Australian economic resonance with the Panda

This will be wonderful for as long as it lasts, which, in the overall scheme of geopolitical events, may not be long.

Between a rock and a hard place

Overtures from China and rebuffs by America. We confront a socio-economic maelstrom.

GST apportionment

What will the poor old Northern Territory get, especially after dumping the Labor Government and embracing the CLP?

Phoney  Accounting and Economic Realities

Dr Chalmers is no longer a person I can respect. His playing about with accounting strategies to try and demonstrate that the impossible has happened in terms of power price reductions does not come within the scope of holding up. I do not count any subsidy he engineered for offset purposes because our taxation is going into some pseudo-alleviation program. Australia once was good and prosperous, but the Albanese Government’s wrecking ball approach to our economy has reduced us to living in a tumbled-down, economically ravaged country.

Mental health maelstrom

Issues of mental health are exploding the rationality of far too many Australians.
