He is certainly a piece of something.

Albanese had this amazing win and decides to become really awful. Go figure.

Wow the future of the Liberal party unbelievably exciting!

After such a convincing win the speed at which the government has become so bland and low energy is astonishing. No passion, no direction, just like a bunch of middle managers in an accounting firm. At last the opposition has found some guts and will not vote for the bastardisation of the FOI laws.

I feel as if we are living in a dystopian novel.

There were books written in the 70's trying to warn the world (to no avail) that corporations would become bigger then nation states, unelected faceless men (usually men) calling the shots and telling governments what to do. It's all happened just as they said.

I believe Margaret tried to warn Gough about Kerr but he didn't take any notice. I suspect Gough was distracted trying to get the supply bill through Fraser's hostile Senate and he didn't think that Kerr would do such a treacherous act. 50th Anniversary coming up so all very sad memories.

I thought Chalmers has been a bit subdued of late, Albanese must have had an out of hours chat with him. "Your time will come Jim, just quieten it down and no more getting people's hopes up as you did before the so called economic reform roundtable."

Gough had a big agenda, he knew the powers that be would throw everything at him when they could see he was serious about transforming this country and he might only get one term to do it. So he went for it. Carpe Diem!

How do we explain this behaviour from Albanese? Was he recruited at uni by secret conservative forces just as Philby, Burgess & Maclean were by the Russians? Given a log cabin story we could all believe in. A long term project to install a clandestine Tory mole as a Labor PM. I hope I'm joking.

"I had a long discussion with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch over the weekend and they assured me that they were satisfied that government has the right policy settings and balance."

Congratulations on your huge election win Prime Minister. -
"Thank you, just don't expect me to do anything significant this term, we are now busy concentrating on the next election which as you know is only 3 years away."

Just say every possible viewpoint and let people select the one that they like.

Brian Hizsoltee @hizsoltee.bsky.social · 3d

Fancy winning a massive majority, a receptive Senate and then pissing it all on the ground by doing not much.

Always a lot of question marks over men who wear big hats inside.

Sad about the farmers, ah well.

Brian Hizsoltee @hizsoltee.bsky.social · 5d

This is like going to a sawmill and asking them how to phase out forest logging.

Brian Hizsoltee @hizsoltee.bsky.social · 5d

It would appear that Albanese really doesn't like the huge majority he has been gifted, that comes with responsibility and hope for change. Talking to the Libs gives an impression that getting good policy through is really difficult and not really possible, gives them an out for doing fuck all.

A lot of Labor people whom I thought were ok have gone bad over the last few years. Minns has eroded faster than most as shown with this example here. The LNP are a basket case, lost to right wing bullshit, may as well call themselves the Australian Rupert Party.
