The election - what does Howard say?

The upcoming Federal election.
My opinion.
Labor is on the nose all across Australia:

mass uncontrolled immigration causing a housing crisis,
pressure on hospitals, schools, roads and all infrastructure,
wasting money – $450 million wasted on "the voice."
signing up for 8 AUKUS nuke subs at 9 times
the correct price for $360 billion,
out of control prices on everything.
Albo never answers any questions in parliament.

What does Pauline say?


Labor's Immigration Disaster: One Nation's Plan to Put Australians First

737,000 people were brought into Australia under the Labor Govt

51,605 skilled

but only 1,800 had skills for the house building industry

The upcoming election.
We have been ripped off over submarines.
Is Labor to blame?
ScoMo signed it but did he know:


Look at the actual cost of the subs that the Yanks pay:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia-class_submarine

Planned cost: about US$1.65 billion each (based on FY95 dollars, 30-boat class and two boat/year build-rate)
Actual cost: US$1.5 billion (in 1994 prices), US$2.6 billion (in 2012 prices)[108][109]
Annual operating cost: $50 million per unit (in 2012 prices)

Let's say that the cost is A$5 billion each.

We're paying $368 billion for 8 subs.
368/8 = $46 billion for each sub, 46b/5b = 9
which is about 9 times the price that we should be paying.

I know – yes -
we will get submarine manufacturing Australian locations in the deal but still -
why should we pay 9 times the price?

In short:
The results of pollster YouGov's latest MRP model suggest the Coalition would be likely to win about 73 seats, with a lower estimate of 65 and upper estimate of 80, if a federal election was held today.

The modelling indicates Labor would hold about 66 seats in the next parliament, with a lower estimate of 59 and an upper estimate of 72.

What's next?
A federal election must be held by May 17.
