Australian Election 2022 Round Up: Labor Have Won
Wednesday May 04, 2022
Wednesday May 04, 2022
That's it, I'm calling it for Labor and in a near landslide too I think. There's a perfect storm for the Liberals, those early attacks on Albo were neutered by both Anthony Albanese getting COVID and Scomo being a far more reliable calamity balloon. Plus every one knows exactly who Morrison is this time, not the invented Scott Cam Daggy Dad he took as a clean skin to the last election. Our house of cards economy is collapsing at exactly the right time, the Solomon Islands debacle.... The list goes on and half his reliable cheerleaders in the media have abandoned him. Turn him over, he's done - unlike his chicken.

Boris Johnson - Bread And Circuses

Partygate continues to dominate - but who cares? It's one of the least awful, corrupt or incompetent things the Tories have done in the past decade.

Australian Election 2022: China Attacks!
Friday Apr 29, 2022
Friday Apr 29, 2022
Make no bones about it, ever since blundering Scott Morrison called for weapons inspectors to be sent into China, to find the origins of COVID, to please Team Trump, China have been waiting for this election and payback. The Solomon Islands security deal was pitch perfect and 100% aimed at this election - what else have they got up their sleeves and could they act as a balance to our one eyed news media?

Australian Election 2022: Week Two Round Up
Friday Apr 29, 2022
Friday Apr 29, 2022
Why COVID was the best thing to happen to Albo's campaign and keeping Scomo front and centre is essential for a Labor victory. The smokescreen of the Katherine Deves dog whistle and other stories. And once again - if you haven't made up your mind after the last three years, please sit this one out for the good of the country.

No political lie is repeated more often than the right of politics are good at the economy and the left are good at spending - for forty years the exact opposite has been true. The Reserve Bank of Australia should be above this, but it seems their only job is to ensure the ponzi scheme that is the Australian housing market stays artificially afloat whilst the Liberals are in power. They've now locked in four interest rate rises just in time for a Labor government, and the establishment across business, the media and politics will suddenly remember a deficit they forgot about for the last nine years - ensuring every Labor social policy is "too expensive".

Australian Election 2022: Week One Round Up
Sunday Apr 17, 2022
Sunday Apr 17, 2022
A look at Australia's dismal news media, why we should thank prime minister Scott Morrison for being who he is, how Anthony Albanese's small target strategy has offered nothing to help Labor win and how he is reliant on the Liberals continuing to screw up - and they will. And if you have sat through the last three years of incompetence, responsibilty shirking, gaslighting and bullying and the vilest, most shallow leader country has ever had and can be swayed in the next six weeks, what is the point of you? Do as I am - turn the media off til election day, most work for the Liberal party anyway.

Ukraine: Putin’s Biggest Tactical Error and Sanctions Work Now?
Wednesday Apr 06, 2022
Wednesday Apr 06, 2022
The strangest decision of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to my mind, is timing - why didn't Putin delay until he could massively impact the US midterm elections in favor of the Republicans instead of now when he will probably be helping Biden. Also, for years, supporters of the state Israel have claimed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is wrong and doesn't work - yet with Ukraine those same people very much think it does and why it wont work in Ukraine now.

Scott Morrison - The Gift That Keeps On Not Giving
Monday Apr 04, 2022
Monday Apr 04, 2022
Poor Australian prime minister Scott Morrison has been trying to call an election since January 2021, when he was last ahead in the polls and the Brittany Higgins scandal engulfed him, he has never had enough clear water to call it since. His latest attempt was to get his lackey's in the media to hammer Labor and Anthony Albanese over bullying and going AWOL and didn't that turn out well! Now his original pre-selection battle of 2007 and his disgusting treatment of his opponent, Michael Towke, has come roaring back into focus - but what isn't being mentioned by the media is that the Murdoch press played a pivotal role in destroying Towke and paid him out for defamation.

Ukraine: The West Is Not Your Friend
Friday Mar 25, 2022
Friday Mar 25, 2022
Friends don't set you on course for a war they knew would one day come, just so they can sell more arms. The West have used Ukraine as a patsy - and believe me, they are very happy with the outcome.

Ukraine: Westerrn Media Lies
Thursday Mar 24, 2022
Thursday Mar 24, 2022
There's no more important time for the media to tell the full truth than during war time. And for no conflict this century has that been less the case than for the western media's reporting of the conflict in Ukraine.
