#noalition — Public Fediverse posts

“The Labor Party has, for the first time in its history, become the natural home of educated youth and it has done so while losing its grip on the outer-suburban and regional working-class voters who built it.”
I pulled this quote from #KosSamaras ‘article in #JohnMenadue ‘s Pearls & Irritations ( https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/05/three-australias-new-polling-shows-deepening-divide/)

It’s an interesting piece. It denies #Labor ‘s voting-base roots is a bulwark against #PHON penetration of the Lower House because Labor has vacated it and in so doing has left a vacuum of resentment, anger and protest grounded in the 90s which PHON will harvest in future elections. Labor’s support is growing in the the ‘class’ that the #LNP have left to fend for themselves as the #Noalition lurches further and further to right-wing populism bleeding support all the while.

Kos ends with sobering words:”
For three decades after 1945, Australia experienced something genuinely exceptional: shared, broad-based prosperity. That period is over. We are returning, more or less, to the historical norm. The politics of the next decade will be the politics of who gets blamed for it, and which bloc holds together long enough to find an answer, or not.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m not rejoicing at that pessimistic prognostic.

If you listen to the Govt BS (let’s not even consider the #NoAlition ‘s views here) about a #gas led #transition to #renewables there is something that you must absolutely aware of… We Are Being Screwed by the #FossilFuelIndustries. Period!

In case you’re unsure, have a read of this (it’s nothing new, but it has to be repeated in order to be heard above all the BS that is washing over the truth);

This is from #GregJericho (he has repeated this story over and over again in the hope that peeps will eventually ‘Get It’:

“The problem for Australia is that since the opening of the Gladstone LNG terminal, gas prices on the eastern seaboard have been linked with the world price of gas. Because Russia is a major producer of gas, its invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions of Russian gas and other trade sent world gas prices soaring – doubling from January 2022 to September that year.

And gas is an expensive way to generate electricity – much more so than renewables, but under the National Energy Market the most expensive generation determines the prices. And so electricity prices follow gas”.

So this is where we’re at. Ever increasing energy prices because of two related things. 1) the way energy pricing is determined (a fool’s market for the punters) and 2) tying the cost of domestic gas to world market prices (a #Grifter’s paradise if there ever was one, why wouldn’t they love it?)

If you don’t like where this is going - email/write to your politicians and express your indignation and threaten to vote for someone who’ll listen and do s’thing about it.

Local Council, State and Territories, and of course federal elections, make your vote count for what you want from govt not the BS you hear from them.

“Australia Institute View: WA and federal governments allowing Woodside to export large amounts of WA’s domestic gas reserves”

If anyone still needed confirmation that our govts (Federal and States) are complicit in the raping of Australia’s natural resources to line the pockets of #Shareholders here you have it in spades.

Let’s all be clear about #FossilFuelIndustries and #ExtractiveIndustries operating on #Australian soil, they Do Not Give A Fuck About Any of Us. This relentless #Corporate persuit of profits and #tax avoidance schemes while gobling up public funds HAS GOT TO STOP. #AlboPM and his sidekick in Treasury need to 1) divest from those industries 2) grow some balls 3) stop funding #grifters and #leeches and 4) enact legislations even if these cannot be guaranteed to outlive a return to #Noalition govt. FFS, enough with this ‘lasting legacy’ causing small target and Parliamentary conscencus rubbish. Govern Now. That’s why you were returned in May!

While I’m hopeful Labor will get another run in office, I am not sure of it. You’re right… the #Noalition campaign run by the #Murdoch and #Stokes machines is overwhelming Labor’s modest legislative progress because those #CorporateMedia outlets control the version of ‘news’ Australians get to see/hear/read.

I don’t know what the answer is to overcome the political slush that is drowning the electorate. Education? A slight interest in politics from your average Aussie voter? Less of a focus on what’s in it for me? Some empathy for the growing number of Aussies having a hard time putting food on the table and a roof over their head perhaps? All the usual things I normally think about when ‘thinking’ before ‘voting’.

Dutton under pressure to give MPs ‘anything to sell’ to voters as cost-of-living budget looms https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/20/dutton-under-pressure-to-give-mps-anything-to-sell-to-voters-as-cost-of-living-budget-looms?

How dare the #Noalition comment on subsidies largess from the #Labor govt’s budget which are focussed on alleviating the #cost-of-living-crisis when a decade of $LNP govt saw massive subsidies to #ExtractiveIndustries and tax breaks for the #wealthy. Does the electorate really have that short a memory?

#AusPol

The LNP is nothing but a crowd of ‘disrupters’ hell bent on some alternate reality. They are the bulls in china shops. Demented and without reason. Berserkers.
