The Prime Minister looked weak and out of touch last week, writes Peta Credlin: failing to discipline Senator Fatima Payman, lionising Julian Assange, and giving the Governor-General a $220k pay rise during a cost of living crisis.
The start of power bill relief and tax cuts should have marked a rare good news week for the Albanese government. Instead it was hijacked by a turncoat senator who should have been disciplined by the PM weeks ago, writes Peta Credlin.
Anthony Albanese is proving himself to be a weak prime minister and Australians are waking up to the fact, writes Peta Credlin.
First term governments always get the benefit of the doubt but, with Anthony Albanese simply not up to the job, we need strength and clarity more than anything else in these troubled times, writes Peta Credlin.
The Albanese Government thinks tax cuts, energy bill handouts and a surplus maximises its chances of winning a second term and we’ll be going to the polls sooner rather than later, writes Peta Credlin.
This Labor government will try to convince taxpayers it will handle the economy with care in Tuesday’s budget, but there is too much evidence that suggests otherwise, writes Peta Credlin.
Australians will usually forgive a first-term government for honest mistakes but not only have shocking mistakes been made, they’ve consistently been lied about, writes Peta Credlin.
We cannot allow the Albanese Government to get its way in controlling what you can see and read online and that’s why the removal of the footage regarding Bishop Emmanuel is such an important issue, writes Peta Credlin.
If you have the sense that Australia is changing, almost before our very eyes, it’s not hard to know why, writes Peta Credlin.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s call for the recognition of Palestine is the latest move by a party that promised before the election to be ‘safe change’ but is now racing to make Australia a very different country, writes Peta Credlin.
The Australian people rejected Indigenous separatism at last year’s referendum but the elites running things don’t take democracy seriously. No means No, writes Peta Credlin.
There’s no good reason why we should be closing down coal-fired power, but if we really do have to get to net zero it’s game, set and match to nuclear energy, writes Peta Credlin.
As Peter Dutton is determined to end a nuclear ban the Albanese government is all for, the next election is going to be a battle over nuclear energy, writes Peta Credlin.
After a decade when both sides were fighting over personalities, it’s now clear that, in Peter Dutton, the Coalition has a leader who’s going to make a fight of things, writes Peta Credlin.
As important as it is to guard against espionage, the real news today is the terrorist attack we could face tomorrow, writes Peta Credlin.
Are terrorist-supporting, atrocity-approving people really those we should be permitting into the country when anti-Semitism has never been more rife, asks Peta Credlin.
Both sides of politics are plagued by people who are “operators” rather than “believers”, and the only way to save the Liberal Party is for members to take back control, writes Peta Credlin.
While Australia is spending $50bn a year on the armed forces, there is serious doubt that we have effective military capability in a world that has become increasingly dangerous, writes Peta Credlin.
With energy security in the hands of the bloke who attacked investment homes and retirees when treasurer, and blew up our borders when immigration minister, it’s three strikes and out for Chris Bowen, writes Peta Credlin.
When circumstances change, the PM’s commitments change, even if that risks setting up a yawning truth deficit for his government, writes Peta Credlin.
The Federal Government doesn’t seem to understand that pride in our country matters – and with that should go a willingness to stand up for our values, writes Peta Credlin.
Your personal new year’s resolutions need to be matched by those we make to keep our country strong and to hold our political leaders to account, writes Peta Credlin.
The failure of the federal government to test claims that had been hotly disputed in court before hastily awarding Brittany Higgins $2.445m is little short of bizarre, writes Peta Credlin.
With the parliamentary year drawing to a close, even diehard supporters are starting to worry that the Albanese Government is in serious trouble, writes Peta Credlin.
Misplaced compassion is not a very good basis for running a country, writes Peta Credlin, and Labor’s obvious hesitations in dealing with the foreign criminals released into the community have done the government no favours.
Until it actually happened, a large Australian crowd chanting ‘gas the Jews’ would have been unimaginable, writes Peta Credlin. It’s time the PM stepped in to stop the wave of anti-Semitism washing over our nation.
Anthony Albanese political judgment needs to be called into question as he makes one bad decision after another, writes Peta Credlin.
In rejecting Labor’s divisive Voice, ordinary everyday Australians found theirs and the Albanese Government should face up to the fact that the people got it right and it got it wrong, writes Peta Credlin.
Launching a referendum campaign without a clear message beyond it’s ‘the right thing to do’ was the most reckless political adventure we have ever seen, and Australians responded with a resounding No, writes Peta Credlin.
As the debate around the Voice gets more abusive, with Ray Martin joining the fray this week, what is even more evident is that PM Anthony Albanese is clueless, writes Peta Credlin.
Yes, many Aboriginal people are doing it tough, but the idea people like Noel Pearson, Marcia Langton and Megan Davis haven’t been listened to is simply ridiculous, writes Peta Credlin.
There’ll be plenty more soft-sell between now and polling day but the evidence about the real nature of the Voice is absolutely irrefutable, writes Peta Credlin.
Anthony Albanese won government by reassuring voters that he offered ‘safe change’. In reality, he leads probably the most left-wing government Australia has ever had, writes Peta Credlin.
Australians now have six weeks to decide whether our system of government should remain colourblind, writes Peta Credlin.
The ABC decision to issue staff with advice on how to handle Voice disinformation is just the latest example of the bias that “No” advocates will face as the campaign formally kicks off, writes Peta Credlin.
Who signs up a country to constitutional change based on the cover and not the contents? Apparently Anthony Albanese, writes Peta Credlin.
There has been a mad scramble in recent days from the Yes camp to insist that there’s nothing to see in the Uluru Statement than a 439-word statement, but the reality is far different, writes Peta Credlin.
Anthony Albanese has desperately tried to avoid any in-depth discussion about the Uluru Statement from the Heart and now we know the reason why, writes Peta Credlin.
As hostages in a party-state we need to wake up to the Andrews government’s ideological idiocy and sheer intellectual dishonesty.
It won’t be long before other Labor governments across Australia will follow Victoria’s lead and ban gas from new dwellings as part of their climate change crusade which has infected all parts of our lives, writes Peta Credlin.
If you think the climate attacks on energy are bad, just wait for what’s coming next as the Albanese government prepares to inflict the same transformations on other parts of our economy, writes Peta Credlin.
A power system that is neither affordable nor reliable is inevitable after the lies peddled for the best part of two decades by both sides of politics, writes Peta Credlin.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Burney’s National Press Club speech was meant to reduce confusion and reset debate around the Voice, writes Peta Credlin. It did none of those things and that’s exactly how she wants it.
Labor used to be interested in putting more money into workers’ pockets, but now is only motivated in social engineering and destroying the way we live, writes Peta Credlin.
Rents, grocery bills and power are all climbing yet Albanese government decisions are only causing more stress in Australian households, writes Peta Credlin.

Start to unpack the logic behind the Voice and it runs in conflict to the values of one, equal Australia, writes Peta Credlin.
