THE 2020 budget is a financial disaster designed to fund an earlier disaster, a government-imposed depression, camouflaged by massive borrowing, as a recession. Under this, the politicians have delivered a trillion dollar bill to remedy their mess to what pollsters tell us is a grateful nation.
LEFT-wing Liberals have ignored Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s pro-jobs position and have this week swung in behind climate activist MP Zali Steggall’s anti-gas campaign. With the Prime Minister declaring gas meant jobs, the renegade “Modern” Liberals this week attempted to block gas exploration via a parliamentary motion.
GENDER wokeness has infected the highest levels of Australia’s political class with MPs refusing to recognise biological women. In an almost school-like social science exercise parliamentary representatives were asked by gender defender organisation, Binary, to define a women.
WITH Labor in the throes of a climate civil war, a frantic Zali Steggall is demanding Left-wing Liberals back her radical push for renewable energy – and help salvage her political career while at it.

CHINA has called Australia’s new regional security alliance an “exclusive clique” as foreign ministers from the four member States met this week for a second time. Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne met with her US, Japanese and Indian counterparts in Tokyo on Tuesday again raising the ire of Chinese officials.
A SHRINKING Zali Steggall has swapped Warringah for Twitter while revealing an almost unhinged obsession with global warming.

PRIME Minister Scott Morrison’s harsh rebuke of a self-serving United Nations bureaucracy should serve as a lesson for Australia’s hostile public sector. Mr Morrison this week reminded the UN it worked for its members and not for its own “processes, institutions and officials”.
LABOR leader Anthony Albanese has sided with radical hippies as ALP unions, factions and shadow ministers go to war over weather.With the nation’s focus firmly fixed on Coronavirus recovery, Labor has spent the past six months tearing itself apart over carbon.
TIME-tested political strategies were thrown into turmoil with the rise of the 24-hour news cycle and then all but decimated by disruptive social media – but PM Scott Morrison has found an ingenious fix. John Howard used the political “wedge” for more than a decade to great electoral success while his Liberal Party successor Tony Abbott mastered the “slogan”, which saw him sail into high office in 2013.
UNIVERSITY leaders should be hiding their faces in shame having diverted stretched national intelligence resources to deal with subversive threats on campus. The chairman of Australia’s Federal Intelligence & Security Committee Andrew Hastie said ASIO’s job was to deal with the most pressing threats to the nation – not securitising universities.
