Care not for old folk, public health and education, freedom of information, the environment and escalating greenhouse gas emissions...then vote neoliberalism.

If Albo can't get his rating up to 40% ... and this figure of 29% is off the back of a disastrous week from the Aged Care Minister!!! What hope for Labor? Labor needs to do much better than this.

80% of people think border closures are necessary and Labor is deemed better than ScoMong in handling the virus.

‘That’s what you get when you vote in a Labor government’, Frydenberg says, announcing Australia officially in recessionwww.theshovel.com.au/2020/09/03/when-you-vote-labor-frydenberg-australia-recession/Saying they had warned Australians all along that this would happen if a Labor Government was voted in, Josh Frydenberg and Scott Morrison have confirmed that Australia has gone into a recession for the first time in 30 years. “Again and again we’ve told you that the Coalition are superior economic managers and – surprise surprise – this is what has happened,” Mr Frydenberg said, pointing to a chart that showed Australia’s GDP had dropped by 7%. “We told you that Labor would wreck the economy. We told you that a vote for Labor was a vote for negative growth, debt and unemployment – and look where we are now”. The Prime Minister echoed Mr Frydenberg’s sentiments. “We warned you, but you didn’t listen,” he said, taking a sip from his ‘Back in Black’ Liberal Party mug. “Don’t blame us that we’re in the worst recession in nearly a century. This is a debt and deficit disaster”.

Hmmm ... interesting. Albo has been bobbing up a fair bit lately ... he has gone backwards in the poll. I reckon he is stuffed. Next? Just look at 'em: Kim Beazley 5 years, 248 days Simon Crean 2 years, 10 days Mark Latham 1 year, 47 days Kim Beazley 1 year, 320 days Kevin Rudd 3 years, 202 days Julia Gillard 3 years, 2 days Kevin Rudd 79 days Chris Bowen 25 days Bill Shorten 5 years, 229 days Anthony Albanese 1 year, 112 days and counting ... Bloody hell.

We find it difficult to handle “debate” in this country. We expect that every member of a political party should sing from the same song sheet, and in tune, and call it a “split” when they don’t. Labor isn’t split on emissions reduction anymore than the Coalition is rock solid united on climate change denial and fossil fuels addiction. I didn’t join the Labor Party to leave my opinions at the door, I joined a movement whose broad aims and philosophy I support and which provides a forum within which discussion and debate can take place. I know that I’m with my “tribe” when I’m at a party forum like the annual SA State Convention of the ALP and I see Penny Wong and Mark Butler take opposing positions on an issue.
As for the snapshot of where the parties are “at” as shown by Newspoll, what the polls reveal is the shit sandwich of Opposition that Albo Labor is forced to eat during the pandemic year of 2020. I think Anthony Albanese’s conduct this year has been exemplary. Basically Albo has refused to take political advantage of the pandemic to turn it into a partisan political football. He has supported government measures such as JobKeeper and Jobseeker and has allowed the government to govern. The truth is that Morrison had to be dragged kicking and screaming to implement JobKeeper and Jobseeker and that these were measures that Albo Labor had urged long before the government adopted them. Of course once they adopted those measures Morrison gave it the full Scotty from Marketing treatment and took the credit for it. But that’s politics.
If Albo had behaved as an Opposition leader the way that Tony Abbott behaved during the Gillard government he would have been condemned and rightly so. There is no political mileage for Albo Labor in putting the national interest ahead of partisan political advantage but that’s the sort of Labor leader he is. He gets no credit for it and that’s the shit sandwich of Opposition. He’s a good man.

Albo is a good man...as they its hard to soar with the eagles when your surrounded by turkeys who think blue collar workers are just miners.
The blue collar mine workers I know, not that its a true indication as such, they are fairly RW conservative, Labor in my opinion are wasting their breath on these guys....try capture the progressives who are turning their noses up at Labor for being wish washy on climate change.

It's not just a shit sandwich caused by COVID-19 ... Labor has a fundamental problem of identity. Remember the last Federal election? It was prior to COVID and Labor received its lowest Primary Vote for 85 years.

When Labor has no vision other that to say one thing on climate change on one hand then act like the Libs on the other has allowed the coalition to promote selling more fossils to the people.

Meanwhile, Crikey economics journalist Bernard Keane takes a swipe at Paul Keating over Keating’s swipe at the RBA, and misses. In turn BK cops a bucketing from the readers ...

The RBA is fiscally conservative and Josh Friedieberg is way out of his league.

My guess is that the market will react favourably to Tuesday's Budget. What with all that massive amount of money being sprayed around. Probably quite a nice bounce on Wednesday.

Budget built on debt with a government that is still guessing what to do....the nongs think tax cuts will save the economy...dumb.

Meanwhile, the RBA has kept rates on hold at 0.25% pending the result of tonight's mahoosive cash splashing budget. Interesting times indeed. Once the obsession with a budget surplus was taken out of the hands of government ... the dam wall of stimulus spending has opened.

Could turn into the "roaring 20's" yet. In fact, there is a danger that inflation will become a problem.

Bugga! We got Trumped. He stalled the US stimulus package negotiations so the US market tanked. We usually slavishly follow the US market lead, so our market is not performing as well as I had hoped. Still, it is up a little so the budget has helped counteract the bad news from the US a fair bit.

It is so Labor has lost its big ideas vision when the deposed Rudd to kowtow to the big end of town miners and now having the fear of alienating the common folk are not so dissimilar to the LNP who have adapted with the changes in todays world.
Such as it goes Labor ism the lesser of two evils...well not evils just bad.

Such as it goes Labor ism the lesser of two evils...well not evils just bad. The choice is between two weevils, the Greater and the Lesser. But I think there’s a lot more to it than choosing the lesser of two weevils. The country changes when Labor is in government federally. I always find myself vaguely dissatisfied with a federal Labor government because of the compromises that they have to make. But that’s preferable to being appalled at a government that contains ministers like Peter Dutton, Angus Taylor and Michaelia Cash, and which is headed by a blatherskite like Scotty from Marketing.
