There is no surge of support for far right political parties in Australia, as wrongly reported by some in the media. The truth is that all of the main media platforms in Australia are right wing and we have no progressive media downunder in the big league stakes. The ABC used to partially fill this gap but it has been brought to heel by conservative interests. What is happening is a cannibalising of the hard right wing vote, as the waning Libs fight it out with One Nation and the Nats. The National party is breaking free of the LNP Coalition due to woman trouble.
Federally The LNP Coalition Is Unelectable
You see, the LNP federally have become unelectable because of their shift to the far right. Toxic masculinity has reared its ugly head and it just won’t follow a woman. A female leader, Sussan Ley, although a smart move if you want to ever get back into power, does not sit well with the Trump loving backroom boys like Tony Abbott. Abbott and Peta Credlin have been poisoning the Liberal party for years with the help of Murdoch’s News Corp. Australia is not the United States and extremist hard right politics doesn’t play here. There aren’t enough dickheads and our women are too smart and they outnumber the blokes. Meanwhile, the National party is breaking free of the LNP Coalition due to woman trouble. These right wing power seekers are fighting over the scraps left to them by Labor, the Greens and Teals.
Ugly, Old, White Politicians Are Not The Future Downunder
Ugly, old white politicians like Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce are never going to bring home the bacon. If you look at the future, the polling of under 35s, these wrinkly dinosaurs have no hope. In the cities, where all the people live, Australians are sick of divisive, blame game politics and want to elect younger and more inspiring politicians. Progressives are the way to go, not the old politics of grievance, as espoused by these nasally, grumbling oldies. Younger Australians despise Donald Trump and what he represents – greed, bullying, cruelty and corruption.
A Gun Gets Stolen Every 4 Hours Downunder
What I would warn about is getting the guns out of the hands of dickheads. Far right parties are never going to get elected nationally in Australia. Therefore, I would point out that the majority of fire arm owners, actually live in the outer suburbs and not in the bush. There are more guns in Australia now than prior to the Port Arthur massacre. Guns are not big boy toys and should not be viewed as such, they are deadly weapons which make killing human beings much easier. A lot of registered fire arms get stolen, in fact a gun gets stolen every 4 hours downunder. The victims and their families of the Bondi shooting would have preferred that the shooters did not have access to 6 fire arms on that tragic day. The recreational pursuits of these suburban guys are not more important than the lives of shooting victims. Go and play golf if you want to shoot at a target. I don’t want fire arms in the hands of right wing types when push comes to shove. Get the guns off the streets for the safety of us all.
“There was a random shooting in inner-west Sydney. Police officers were killed in regional Victoria. Shootings in Queensland are becoming common enough that they barely make the news.
There are now more than 4 million guns legally owned in Australia, more than before the Port Arthur tragedy in 1996.”

Wake Up Albo & Lead The Way
“If Trump’s America invades Greenland, which is a protectorate of Denmark, who is a member of NATO, what is Australia going to do? Will PM Albanese pretend that it isn’t happening, which seems to be the current ‘go to’ position with regards to the unhinged behaviour of our US ally. How long will we, a proud western democracy upholding liberal values, continue to look the other way when it comes to Trump’s regime shitting on laws and human rights willy nilly? Is this another example of ‘too big to fail’ special exemptions being applied? Is the reality of the US becoming a rogue state run by a kleptocracy beyond the comprehension of our little politicians and what they are able to deal with on the world stage? “
