This is the most bizarre hill to die on, and with approx 5-6 months to go until an election, it's an even more bizarre hill to risk votes over
Cost of living Anthony - cost of living
The man's determined to drive the tractor through the fence *and* through the shed before he drives it into the dam

will become far worse when the public realise they have to give over sensitive personal information to foreign tech companies
idiocy
Same as if they use a VPN
Cost of living is affecting everyone.
Cost of seeing the doctor gone up.
Rent/mortgages up, although that's interest rates
Inflation is back down but our cost of housing (mortgage) went up 46% and hasn’t budged. It’s devastating everywhere. ALP have dropped and buried the ball on reform that might help housing quickly (neg gearing? CGT discount?) to focus on this coz Dutton raised it?
Also, tell me this isn't about being able to track people to present a lawsuit for defamation when we hurt a politicians feelings.
What next Albanese who can vote??
it's only gotten worse since
Most are struggling with the thousands we have to pay for the uniforms, sports-rego, travel.
Not to mention trying to feed & school them.
But hey, let’s ban free platforms to keep creepy uncle Rupert happy.

Dutton must be giggling at him.
It’s an impressively long list of marginalia (some good stuff),
They reckon that will sway things
This is the US - seems to becoming similar here

It's almost like he's fighting to lose the election. Who the hell is (mis)advising him?
Added to that is his spectacular and unique ability to create enemies from his friends and even bigger enemies of his enemies.
I can't believe how he walks head first into every wedge/trap the LNP set, and when there's no trap he sets his own, like out of the blue dumping the LGBTIQ question in the census.
Worse of all is the cowardice though.
The public hate it
🤦
But I'm beginning to wonder if he hasn't been listening to too much of his own PR bumpf lately. Starting to believe he can't go wrong.
I can’t imagine he’s listening to her.
My view was that she’s not there to influence, nor does she care if he listens or not - she’s there to write the “inside the Albo govo” tell-all book.
I was accused of being too cynical.
Maybe so. But 📌 this.
We’ll see soon enough 🤷♂️
Haven’t noticed any evidence of that.
It’s clear Albanese has his own agenda. Seeing the issues he’s made priorities - no referendum, children social media etc. ignoring major issues, climate change, media concentration..
Likely correct! 😂
But I might be right about the book, too 🤭
In lurv🥰, in a clifftop mansion & in black with the bank.
I hope Jodie has IVF & then produces a litter of 6 kids as that'll keep him busy & broke!😂👍
You know it stinks when the Murdochracy are giving it ....their full support.
Gold!
And Coles and Woolies will stop price gouging.
Hell, they'll probably stop putting asylum seekers in prison, too.
Even 10 year old children might be banned from jail?
So many positives from this...
And after 26yrs of voting Labor, they've lost me. I will vote Greens and Independent this election.
He has forgotten who votes for him. Neither major cares for us. Just lining their pockets.
Albo "Okay Peter, I've done more to weaken the democracy and increase secrecy. Your turn now".
They're like Coles and Woolworths taking turns with the specials.
This is a huge vote loser.. that also doesn't work.
And will expose ALL Australians to massively increased risk of identify theft.
That’s the more pertinent question that needs to be answered here.
Personally, I’d prefer not to have Dutton near the leadership of Australia - but here we are with Labor throwing the kitchen sink at it and the Greens are cheering.
If you survive this election, good luck next time Albo
Albanese is a plodder at best.Labor wasted the mandate of a life time! Their legacy: protected Morrison on Robodebt, NACC is dead & stinking, imposed AUKUS on Aust & drained our wealth & sovereignty, loud cheerer for Israel as they slaughter Palestinians
Albo can kowtow to Murdoch but it won’t stop them trying to install a Dutton government.
Be interesting to see how many paid advertorials we tax payers are funding in the Murdoch press.

We need better.
Sad and plain bloody scary that any Australian government has come to this authoritarian method to dealing with decent. Guess jailing climate protesters was a bit of a give away 🙈🤬
It smells more like the Liberal Political Party, although it goes against their small government & “free speech” rhetoric as well.
#auspol
Experts are divided on it and the entire thing has been frantically rushed - who are they appeasing?
This is self harm & self destructive behaviour.
Who will think of the constituents?
#auspol
So very dissapointed
The mums with babes will be pleased Youtube is still OK 😂

Oh.
Oh, no.
They’re really struggling, aren’t they?

And it's not just the cookers that are uncomfortable about this direction.
Whitlam will tell you what happens when you don't respect that constant
Regulating their use is a good thing, actually.
He just wanted his name in a history book for something and since the Voice failed he's just doing whatever gets thrown in-front of him until he's voted out and can fuck off to his new Mansion.
1. Bin AUKUS - put money into infrastructure
2. Hit Dutton hard on every lie he’s told in the vein of “Dutton has lied, here’s why…”
3. Federal subsidies for EV/Hybrid cars then tax sales cars by weight.
He’s going to deliver us a Dutton PM.
That alone will be the Albanese legacy.
Crazy town stuff.
It is Trump politics 101.
BTW, if I was a SM company, the easiest way to comply is to stop my services being used in Australia
I can't understand what votes he's trying to harness here, whilst losing the labor faithful.
It's weird.
He seems to fervently believe it's necessary.
So perhaps it really IS the hill he's planning to "die" on. #auspol
Could he do a John Howard and lose his seat as PM?
What a hideous legacy he will leave after a lifetime of politics.
Grayndler isn’t happy.
Think … a new job where the last person was not great, or the project that needs refocus.
The time to shine.
Albo either missed it or dismissed it.
Sigh, just now realising that Albo is putting me on the side of Zuck and the Edgelord
Most young addicts have parents who are constantly scrolling while "watching" their children's athletics, swimming, concerts, etc.
They don't even hear their children's cries, "Look at me, Mum!" 😥
Otherwise we’ll end up with Dud Dutton 😳
& rubbing his hands with glee to go out with the full complement of benefits... Gold Passes on QANTAS.
I bet he thinks people will pay big $ for his memoir & for speaking events.
If he brings along his mate Bugs Bunny maybe it'll be funny?😁
The very first time I saw it I had a mouth full of coffee, spluttered and had a coughing fit
That bastard nearly killed me 🤣
I can't even look at the grub 🤬🤬
The psychiatrists said that "He should be ok by Christmas" but that was 4yrs ago & the parents are now asking them "Which Christmas?... Will we see him again before he's 21?"
I told Chambers, Wong & others to turf him out 6 weeks ago, via Twitter, as it's obvious that he has squandered the large majority at the least & has left us perilously close to having "The Thug" as former PM Turnbull describes him, as our next PM & the mad, bad rabble of LNP MPs that follow.
He could be articulating a BIG BOLD VISION FOR AUSTRALIA, instead it's a week of playing politics. #Auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social
