Last Post: Jim Chalmers should learn from Warren Buffett

I recommend our esteemed Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, takes time to read Warren Buffett’s 11 tips for investing and life, and in particular tip three, which reads: “Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.”

The projected budget deficit could be the Albotross that sends the economy over the cliff.

This is what happens when a Labor government runs out of “other people’s money”.

Premier Chris Minns exhorts us to save the grid by not turning on our electric kettles but fails to admonish us not to charge our electric vehicles.

Going by Lidia Thorpe’s hateful disposition towards all colonialist institutions, and her joining anti-Israel activists with cries of “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea”, will she soon be advocating the removal of non-Indigenous Australians, so that “First Nations people will be free, from sea to sea”?

With no shame in their duplicity the Greens rail for an end to the logging of old-growth forest in Tasmania while ignoring the destruction of native forest and koala habitat along the eastern seaboard. Clearly, Adam Bandt and his henchmen are “Green” in name only.

Paul Keating was spot-on with his observation that the Senate was an unrepresentative swill. Evidence of his view may be found today in the form of Fatima Payman and Lidia Thorpe, who represent only themselves while drawing eye-watering salaries. Prime Minister, call a double-dissolution election, for all our sakes.

They all do it, but it is patently ludicrous that presidents have the power to issue pardons. That sounds much more like the divine right of kings than anything to do with democracy.

So President Biden pardoned a third turkey for Thanksgiving.

It appears when it comes to pardoning his son Hunter, Joe was just Biden his time.

I reckon any party that swears to bring back Australia Day parades will be a shoo-in at the next election.
