So Peter Dutton thinks it is a catastrophic failure on the prime minister and foreign minister’s part that they did not know that a non existent Russian military base request to Indonesia did not happen. No scruples, no balance.

The two campaign launches were telling: the Liberal launch was lazy, the leader’s speech was poorly written and delivered. The Labor launch was professionally produced. The leader’s speech well written and tellingly Albanese had rehearsed his presentation and it showed.

"It is hard to recall an opposition leader in the past three decades so unceremoniously abandoning a key policy just one week into an election campaign," writes Paul Bongiorno. "It is not as if it is a shock early poll, either."

Dutton's policy backflip "enabled Albanese to run politically killer lines in their Sky News debate. The PM said: 'Peter hasn’t been able to stand up for his own policy, so I don’t know how he can stand up for Australia'.” @paulbongiorno.bsky.social www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi...

It beggars belief that American voters could think that a 6 times bankrupt shyster Donald Trump could manage the economy better than his Democrat opponent. The US business ethic is what you can get away with as long as you emerge richer at others expense. What you sow..

So the bloated blaggard in the White House is going to sock lower income Americans with a tax on all imported products so that he can give tax cuts to himself and his mega rich backers. Who is being liberated here?

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

A strong start to Labor’s re-election campaign from Anthony Albanese. A stark contrast to 2022. It’s down to a choice between Temu-Trump and the incumbent.
