2 years into a 3 year term, no wonder Albo is panicking. ![](https://i.imgur.com/3aB9SvX.jpg) It seems certain that Labor will lose majority government next year, but it is possible that the "unthinkable" could happen. Dutton may become PM. ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)

It is often the "little things" that see governments thrown out of office. Yet another example of the out-of-touch Canberra Bubble: Shorten speechwriter on a two-year $620k contractMore than $620,000 of taxpayer dollars has been set side for a speechwriter to NDIS Minister Bill Shorten, after Services Australia was unable to find an existing worker to fill the role.

CBA's economists say, outside the pandemic, the 1.1% annual growth figure is the weakest Australia has seen since 1991, when we endured "the recession we had to have".
Even that weak number is being propped up by record population growth.
On a per capita basis the economy contracted for the fifth consecutive quarter and economic output is now 1.3% smaller per person than it was a year ago.

So now is the time to stock up the pantry with staples you reckon?
I hope they never make us start eating locusts.

Interesting. ![](https://i.imgur.com/3DyTv3C.jpg) Newspoll has the two major parties at 50-50 in the latest poll and Dutton gaining on Albo as Preferred PM. Perhaps the Coalition has figured out that anything that gets Chris Bowen on TV more often boosts the Coalition vote? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Should Albo be worried at this stage of the election cycle? I reckon he should be very worried. ![](https://i.imgur.com/7OdJ2eA.jpg)

If all else fails ... Raise the fear level.A classic ploy. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Australian government raises country's terrorism threat level to 'probable'The Australian government has raised the country’s terrorism threat level from “possible” to “probable”, reversing a change made nearly two years ago.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, is making the announcement in Canberra.Intelligence sources said the decision to raise the threat level was not triggered by any single issue or ideology, but noted an overall increase in polarisation in Australia and other western countries. The sources said social cohesion was under strain and Covid-era grievances were being exacerbated by the Israel-Hamas conflict. The terror threat level was last changed in 2022 when it was lowered to “possible”.
