Cost of living -Vrs- Cost of tarrifs??

[mellie]

What an amazing way of diverting the media's attention away from Albanese's " personal fails" ... let's all focus on Trumps Tarrifs instead, hypothetical US / Aus pharmaceutical tarrifs that haven't occurred yet? Because it's Trumps fault, everything is always someone else's fault.
How about we talk about Australias fake and temporary employment figures, under-employment being created in the lead up to a Federal election, will these same jobs exist following the election, irrespective of who wins?
When will our journalists stop chasing shaddows, hypotheticals, and start nosing out the root cause for the odour that's coming from our Federal government?

Start asking the questions that matter, rather than trying to run a fear campaign based on speculation?

At this stage, a few greedy American drug companies CEOs have asked Trump to consider imposing pharmaceutical tarrifs.

Let's focus on Albanese's last 3 years in office, his achievements and his failure. Let's keep focused on his overall process and what has changed since he formed government 3 years ago.

Isn't this what OUR election should be about, rather than creating sensational headlines merely based on hypothesis?

As Albanese himself admitted, this hypothesis wouldn't be in the USs own best interests, so why is Albanese planting ABC journalists at his press conferences , answering their questions, then turning the finger of blame upon the journalists themselves for having caused fear, when it was his own cabinet's PR stunt to begin with?

To instill fear in voters, with a view to reassuring them that he has a solution to the problem, and will defend Australians right to our own tax-funded pharmaceutical benefits scheme, when it's a given that iraspective of who wins the election, it's a "Non Issue" for Australians in the whole scheme of what's really happening behind the ALP screens.

ALP are taking control of Aussies MSM ( News headlines on TV) , however they're forgetting that the average 70 year old ( my parents for example) are now actively engaged with other sources of information, X, and delving into figures themselves, ( no need for journalists anymore) .

Duttons overlooking the underlying reason for why Albanese handled the Chinese warship incident the way he did.
Deep research required. This should include Duttons own minister for defence formally addressing the issue with China, not Labors ministers, because there's always at least two sides of a story. My own research has discovered that the ALP were advised by China of their intentions. The question is, why is Albanese claiming otherwise? Claiming his ministers weren't given notice?

Too premature to be addressing it with the media, I would have waited until we had more facts and an election date at least, because we don't want this issue falling on deaf or tired ears as they're heading to the polls.

Guaranteed, Albanese plans to obscure the incident as much as possible, meaning it will all end up too hard and Australians will focus more on Albanese's pre- electoral sweeteners than other more critical issues we really should be.

Ps, if you are wondering why the topic of this thread deviates from it's overall content, along with other posts I've been submitting recently, this isn't unintended.



The average Left leaning voter isn't inclined to read past the first few lines much less between them.

Sad reality, but this may be applied to Albos immigrated votes too.

Who has time to read long winded posts, particularly those that discuss a variety of different issues in need of further research?

Not many.

What voters want is reassurance that a Liberal government has no intentions of dismantling Australians own tax- funded public schemes, school's, hospitals, law enforcement, pharmaceutical, NDIS etc.... INSTEAD have intentions of making it stronger, better and more resilient to foreign politics. They want to hear that Dutton has a plan to fortify our economy, making it more resilient and accessible to all Australians.

This is a typical ALP pre- election tactic, instilling doubt and fear into voters re- the oppositions commitment to working-class Australians. The Mediscare campaign was another grubby example of ALPs despotism.

Let Albo and cronies knock themselves out, and then we can begin.
all platforms with facts and truth re- ALPs failures.
My feeling is that the ALP leadership will change shortly after the election, win/loss anyway, a Kirribilli agreement (or Kirribilli deal) is likely in the works. It is the knife-in-the-back way.

Albo's demeanour screams pre- retirement mode, he's not even loyal to his own cronies. Isn't even trying to make his promises appear genuine. Therefore, whoever takes over won't be obliged to uphold their predecessors promises. You'd think we'd learn hu.


Now, the endemically corrupt EU are wanting a piece of us too, have come to the administrators meeting, claiming priority creditor status. ..... under the guise of our "diversifying our international research funding" with a view to gently encouraging Albo to include them in his will, ahem , his list of priority creditors as his government winds-up.

It would be laughable, if this were reality TV, and not the state of our nation's overall affairs.

"Rising turds,( Rising Tides) aka Labors rent-a-protest mob are going to bomb Dutton at every opportunity, might need to consider preparing pre- recorded press announcements, releasing them to select outlets too, due to how dirty the ALP are playing the game. Poor sportsmanship, very Un-Australian, and I think this may inadvertently hurt ALP, once it's very clear what they're doing.

Next they'll park themselves at Medicare offices at Centrelink and protest against Dutton dismantling Medicare.

You watch how grubby this gets.

Silence is golden.

Wait until the election dates announced, and trickle counter- statements re- key- issues central to Australians ACTUAL LIVES passionately and calmly. Dutton needs to imagine he's talking to his parents or close relatives, friends when addressing the media.

He's coming across overly nervous, stilted and lacking in confidence.
I don't enjoy public speaking myself, this was the advice that one of my tutorial teachers gave me at uni. It really helped.


If Dutton becomes overly consumed with counter- statements before he's had the opportunity to run, he'll become worn and expended before the most important part of the campaign has begun.

An opposition spokesman can easily do this for him, he needs to show Australians he has a capable cabinet of ministers anyway, who are they again?
