Australian Politics

Another day, another poor opinion poll for Peter Dutton and the Coalition. This week’s Roy Morgan poll shows Labor’s two-party support lifting to 54.5% (up 1% from a week ago), nine percentage points ahead of the Coalition’s 45.5% (down 1% from a week ago).

The Greens have performed best in the Australian Conservation Foundation’s (ACF) pre-election scorecard, receiving a rating of 98% for their environment and climate change policies.

So says Labor legend Jenny George.

On Monday, I spoke to Ben Davis on Brisbane Radio 4BC Mornings to unpack the housing policies announced by Labor and the Coalition over the weekend.

Steve Austin from ABC Radio Brisbane interviewed me about the Greens’ housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather’s claim that immigration does not negatively impact housing affordability.

This election campaign has turned into a dumpster fire for Peter Dutton and the Coalition.

Over the weekend, we saw both sides of politics ‘jump the shark’ on housing policy.

Victoria has the nation’s highest per capita debt and the lowest credit rating.

It is hard to believe that the Dutton-led Coalition now faces the prospect of losing seats at the upcoming federal election. The combination of Donald Trump’s trade war and policy own-goals like promising to ban working from home (since revoked) has sent Coalition support plummeting.

Wow.

Anything that doesn’t like the LNP, The Guardian loves.

In the early last decade, the federal Labor government made the fateful decision to approve the export of liquified natural gas (LNG) out of Queensland without requiring gas companies to supply Australians first.

I appear to have written Peter Dutton’s gas policy, and what a Bobby Dazzler it is!

Forget the cost-of-living crisis.

By Stephen Saunders Surely, Labor can’t just run on their dismal record.

The Australian’s Tom Dusevic published a strange report claiming that ‘Big Australia’ is over.

Talk about claptrap.

God save me from the ABC + Grattan Institute corruption nexus.

Albo has gone for household batteries.

The ABC has lost the plot entirely.

Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor defended the Coalition’s proposed East Coast gas reservation policy in a National Press Club Q&A on Wednesday.

Australia’s tea lady in Washington, Kevin Rudd, has failed again.

Victorian taxpayers seem to be unable to catch a break.
