Recent polling suggested that the Albanese Labor government faces imminent defeat at the upcoming federal election. The Freshwater poll, conducted for AFR, placed the Coalition ahead of Labor by 52% to 48% on a two-party preferred basis, the largest lead since before the last election. The Resolve poll, conducted for SMH, showed the Coalition ahead

Federal Coalition ready to take leaf out of Trump's playbook and attack key institutions and attack experts who point out its policy failings.

As I type this, Trump is threatening tariffs on anyone who challenges the interests of America’s technology oligarchs, all of whom are now paying obeisance at this court. Technology is the US biggest weapon against the free world of which it was formerly part, and the right place to fight back. But what can be done?

The Albanese government has set a fantastical target of building 1.2 million homes over five years, equating to 240,000 homes a year. As illustrated below, this is a level of construction that has never been achieved before. Current construction levels are tracking around 30% below the government’s target. The latest housing projects from the Housing

America's founders would approve of trump's anti-christian bias task force....

SO SCREAMS THE HEADLINE! FOLLOWED BY THE SOOTHING WORDS OF GOD...

To many believers, Trump’s pro-religious freedom stance is most welcome. Furthermore, I believe that the founders of America would applaud this — including those we could call the patron saints of the ACLU.

Melbourne’s population has increased by around 2 million people this century. Melbourne’s population is projected to increase by another 3.5 million over the next 31 years to 9.0 million by 2056.

The Trump paradox is like a schism

He is a horrible man to be analysed 

Through a strategically enlightened prism 

Not the progressive current presently advised 

By dint of submitting to the woke injunctions

When RBA kiss-arses like old Rossco turn, you know your central bank has lost its credibility. With the labour market so “tight”, surely wages could take off at any moment, halting the fall in inflation – or worse, sending it back up. What’s unnerving them is an old ’70s-model NAIRU machine in the corner, with
