    If Labor proceed with the IR legislation as drafted, there will be hundreds of thousands of tradies impacted.

    Albanese and Bourke live in a union bubble, they don't realise that, outside of the public service, nobody wants the unions.

    They'll be having a big rethink now.

    I think the best description I have heard of the labor party "They are like the dog that caught the car and didn't know what to do with it"

    I’d like to say yes but history tells us probably not.

    Hawke had several failed referendums but kept getting elected.

    I’ve never voted for Hawke or Labor, but Hawke was a much better politician than Albanese.

    BUT as a keen student like myself of Australian politics -there was a significant difference BETWEEN those referendums and the CON that was just put tp the people and rejected .

    Agreed, and nothing would make me happier than to see this joke of a government turfed out at the next election, but if they are I think it’ll be more to do with cost of living issues than this referendum.

    Albo called Chris Bowen into his office one day and said, ‘Chris, I have a really great idea — a vote winner’. We’ll take a trip outback and have a yarn with the yokels, they’ll love us.’

    ‘Good idea Albo, how shall we go about it?’ asked Chris.

    ‘Well,’ said Albo, ’We’ll get ourselves one of those Driz-a-Bone coats, some RM Williams boots, a stick and an Akubra hat.

    Oh, and a blue heeler. We’ll really look the part.

    First we find a typical old country pub and show ’em we really enjoy the bush.’

    ‘Yeah,’ said Chris.

    Days later, all kitted out, blue heeler on a leash, they set off from Canberra.

    Eventually they found just the right place, a typical outback pub.

    They walked in with the dog and breasted the bar.

    ’G’day mate,’ said Albo to the bartender, ‘two schooners of your best beer.’

    ‘Good afternoon Albo,’ said the bartender, ‘two schooners of our best coming up.’

    Albo and Bowen stood leaning on the bar drinking their beer and bullshitting, nodding now and then to whoever came into the bar. The dog lay quietly at their feet.

    All of a sudden, the door from the adjacent bar opened and in came a grizzled old stockman with a bloody big stockwhip on his shoulder.

    He walked up to the cattle dog, lifted its tail with the whip handle and looked underneath, shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the other bar.

    A few moments later, there came another stockman with his whip. He also went to the dog and lifted its tail, looked underneath, scratched his head and went back to the other bar.

    Over the course of the next hour or so four or five stockmen came in, lifted the dog’s tail and went away looking puzzled.

    Eventually, Albo and Bowen could stand it no longer and called the barman over.

    ‘Tell me,’ said Bowen, ‘why did all those stockmen come in and look under the dog’s tail like that? Is it an old outback custom?’

    ‘Strewth no,’ said the barman. ‘Someone told ’em there was a cattle dog in the bar with two arseholes.’

    IMO, the reality is the odds are always with Labor.

    In general, there always be two general streams of where people falls in- those rely on the economy and those on salary.

    1. For the salaried people, nurses, teacher, front line workers, public servants etc. that do not rely on 'economy', the current scenario provided by Labor is good.
    Interest coming down, pay increased, subsidised expenses .. what not to like.

    2. If you rely on the economy, with no infrastructure projects or capital investments, there is no money..labour cost is up, so you will be suffering in this scenario..
    Small businesses, if not most businesses will be retrenching people..

    Ultimately, there will always be more people in category 1 ...

    So true,
    It's a self generating labor electorate, plus all the immigrants (over a million to date in the last year).
    There is no work ethic in so many of the younger people I see in the trades now, as they have been battered by a relentless exposure to the great lefty social media brainwashing takeover.
    Nobody wants to hear "you can't have", "you need to work harder", instead they look for the next R.D.O, sick day, or now with this woke lefty brain dead mentality a "mental health day"!
    The more they owe, the more the government controls them, they also think that the money that the government showers them with comes from somewhere out in Lefty land and there's a bottomless pit and plenty to go around.
    They don't want it to stop.
    I fear that Albosleazey, Chris Boner, and Penny Wrong, and all the other Stalinist lying socialists that are slowly killing the Australia that I know may yet get over the line yet.
    Another term of these incompetent politicians, will be horrific to behold.
    I have seen first hand the same policies and their effect in the UK and the European countries, probably five or six years ahead of us, and and it is just frightening, especially the UK now, where the non muslims are the minority in their own country and the crime rate is out of control, and the health system is at the precipice of collapse.
    Look over your shoulder and look at the crime rate just in Victoria alone.
    Small business in Australia, has been the cornerstone of employing people for over a hundred years, and fertile ground for our youth to be taught the way to acquire skills for life,pride in what you have done in a day, and learn courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and determination for excellence.
    But, the socialist cannot tolerate free thinking and free enterprise.
    So let's over regulate and tax them out of existence is their mantra. These baby boomers will be dead soon anyway!
    Control the money, control the food and control the utilities, and wrap it up with endless propaganda, and point the finger, for there is always someone to blame.
    Wrong you say??? ninety years ago in Munich that finger was pointed at the Jews, and how did that work out?
    National Socialist weren't they called.
    Have a look at how many small business's went to the wall in the last 18 months on our island.
    For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.......... a great Churchill quote.

    STOP repeating the Dutton lies - it's why he's lost his seat! That, and chanelling John Howard whose disastrous policies got us where we are now.

    I agree with your comments on people ' wanting it all now' - but that's down to PARENTS not governments.

    The Liberal party needs a major rethink about how they present their Ideology to the Australian public. In the past they have relied on rusted on boomers to vote, a generation dying off now and their superior management of the economy. They haven’t managed an economy any more effectively than Labor would have at least since the Howard/Costello years when they paid back the debt and got us in surplus. People aren’t falling for this pitch anymore more. A lot of younger disillusioned voters think rightly or wrongly that the older generation had it easier getting into the housing market with only one person working an average job etc and they want a government that will attack the assets of older Australians and hand it over to them. This group, going forward will be the largest voting group and the Liberal party needs to find a way to appeal to this under 40 year old demographic. Interesting times ahead.

    No, it's not about parents. It's about the socialist ideological rubbish that starts in prep and continues unabated right into the tertiary education system. This education system has single handedly told 8 year old children it's OK to change sex, swear at your teacher and don't bother turning up to school or work if you're feeling a tad challenged that day. We're paid money to stay at home and whilst we argue about gender identity politics, China, and others, buy our infrastructure.

    Furthermore, if you want something now, there are so many ways not to pay. Afterpay and a host of derivatives foster entitlement, competition and expectation amongst the young. Traditional values about working for something and providing for your family are long gone.

    I really hope we head into a very long and deep recession. It probably won't be far away. It will sure re-align these cup cakes and their expectations. As superannuation funds are liquidated in pension phase so that moron Chalmers and his cronies can't get their fingers on it, and the money is moved offshore. Along with businesses and employers taxed to oblivion.
