Why I'm Calling the NEXT Australian Election (2028) For Labor

It's a long way out, but given the positives on the Labor side and the negatives for their opposition, over the next three years, I can see no possible way back for the Liberals at the next election, it will likely be even worse. Congratulations to Labor!

Welcome to Country: Ozzy Man Versus the Nazis

Australia has a massive problem with racism, specifically towards Indigenous Australians - we even had a vote about it! Now we've defeated Australia Day, ANZAC Day is next in the firing line. 

Anthony Albanese: Captain Boring

And I love it! Five years back I was calling for Albo's removal, not because he wasn't a good man who would make a good prime minister, but because he was a terrible campaigner who would never get there. He has grown remarkably into the role and is running rings round Dutton this campaign. The worst the press can throw at him is he's boring. Well, I like my governments boring, after years of calamity and chasing the front page. I think he will end up one of Australia's greatest PM's

Peter Dutton and the Worst Election Campaign in History

It's certainly the worst Australian election campaign by an opposition party in the 30 years ive lived in this country. There was never a prospect of the Liberal party being elected, but no one predicted how bad this campaign would be. Constant missteps, zero policies, wildly unpopular MAGA worship, a leader who seems like he barely speaks to his own troops and the impression they all woke up on the day of the exam having never studied the subject.

Adolescence: What to do About a Problem Like Jamie

The landmark British TV series shines a light on the online forces shaping young minds and turning young boys into misogynists, but it stops short of offering any solutions to an apparently unsolvable problem. Here I try to do just that.

Trump: A World Without America

With the combined impacts of the totalitarian chaos inside America, the tariffs and Trumps continual abuse of longstanding allies, for the first time in maybe seventy years, countries are starting to cut the apron strings from the United States. Both economically and militarily - the World is waking up to a World without America.

The Trump Effect - A Booming Left

One positive about Trump, if not for America, then certainly for the rest of the western world, is it has seen a massive swing towards left-leaning parties and away from right. Canada has seen a 27 point lead for the right disappear to 2 in under 3 months. No one in other countries wants to elect anyone remotely like him.

Elon Musk and the Worst Deal in History

I posted a similar piece last year, when Elon Musk threw his weight and his wealth into the ring for Donald Trump. I was very wrong, as Trump won, and for a brief shining moment, it looked as though this obnoxious try hard really was king of the world. Ironically, Trump winning will end up costing Musk twice as much.
