To get back in a majority in his own right, Anthony Albanese has to make the next election a referendum on Peter Dutton – and the Opposition Leader is making the job easy for him, writes James Campbell.
An admission by an MP that the “looming” federal election influenced Scott Morrison’s rejection of a gas exploration permit will cause headaches for Albanese.
The mental gap between our world view and the Chinese government’s is a good deal greater than the 180km of the Taiwan Strait.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese needs to be careful with how he speaks about the Voice’s so called ‘opportunity for national unity’, writes James Campbell
By reiterating that the buck stops with him, is Premier Daniel Andrews giving himself a reason to go? That may be the case if the hotel quarantine inquiry ends up slamming the government, writes James Campbell.
The Andrews’ government keeps making decisions everyday Victorians know are madness. Coronavirus positive patients allowed to exercise, guests leaving quarantine without testing. How long can this go on, asks James Campbell.
It’s hard not to notice that Victoria is the only state in Australia being forced to endure this. Why? Because of decisions taken by Dan Andrews and his ministers, writes James Campbell.
For anyone hoping the big Palace letters reveal would turbocharge a fresh push for an Australian republic, the correspondence between Sir John Kerr and the Queen’s private secretary proved to be a big disappointment, writes James Campbell.
As Melbourne goes into another lockdown, this time we can’t even console ourselves with the knowledge that everyone in Australia is in the same boat. But while Daniel Andrews seems to be pointing the finger of blame at Victorians, he needs to look at his own mistakes, writes James Campbell.
With the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic unravelling, Labor MPs are quietly talking about whether Dan Andrews is the right person to take them to the next election, writes James Campbell.
Daniel Andrews has had a charmed run as Premier, thanks to a roaring economy that has enabled him to get away with profligate spending. But his luck may have just run out, writes James Campbell.
