The Albanese government seems captured by Rudd-like grand schemes while forgetting keeping the lights on is what matters. It’s not a green energy dream unfolding before us but an Indigenous heritage challenge nightmare.
They embrace all woke causes and now the AFL wants a say on who commentates on the game, and “old white men” don’t deliver diversity. But fans wants to hear from ex-champions, so it’s not jobs for the boys but the best people for the job.
There’s never been a better example of how out of touch Victoria’s politicians are than Jacinta Allan and her ministers bagging Chris Minns’ get-back-to-work edict. His tough leadership is in stark contrast to what we see from the Labor Left.

Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece has boasted about spending close to$30m a year on graffiti removal, yet the city remains blanketed in ugly tags, smears and slogans. Something needs to change.
Adam Bandt has described himself as the Robin Hood of Australian politics but in reality he’s leading a radical Left party that’s been involved in disgraceful pro-Palestinian protests.
