@undefinedhandle I don't disagree re: victim complex...but I do enjoy the fact that they called Albo on his BS. 😅 It's purely for show and he deep down obviously knows he isn't one of them/shares their views. Same as heterosexual politicians marching in Mardi Gras. Fuck off.

@AvidCommentator We are getting a live example of the benefits of a Westminster system over a Washington system. Someone acting this crazy under Westminster, escalating everything, starting to cause serious derivative damage...well they'd be knifed wouldn't they?

Since 2016 I've definitely had a lot less TDS as opposed to the general population. But the last few weeks have tipped me. All the hallmarks of just doing no due diligence, flipping position daily, vibing it. With huge real World consequences. Get rid. A senile idiot. Vance in.

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum Money quote: "Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places." "He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before." theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

@sandylanceley I'd argue it's even simpler of not wanting the cost of everything going 🚀 --> 🌙 and if you are in year 5 (!) of a 'cost of living crisis' people become a lot less patient and look at causes...

If the rise of One Nation was about returning to a white Australia then it would’ve happened long ago. Most people just want less immigration, of course Albanese can’t bring himself to see this.
Ryan Dally@Ryandally08

#BREAKING Anthony Albanese says the rise of One Nation in the polls is due to its supporters wanting “Australia to go back to the 1950’s” and for “the population to look like that” Before adding “that’s not going to happen” #Auspol

@undefinedhandle Pretty crazy the 🦗🦗 from a lot of media last year, the RBA cutting rates it just so happens a month before the Federal election (😮) with trimmed mean inflation still far north of target band. A *big* factor in the ALP reversing polling woes. All a 'mistake' in hindsight. 🙄

like most government, quasi-government, ‘peak bodies’, etc in Australia, the RBA is incompetent and compromised. just look up the bios of the monetary policy board members

@SydneyFC Rate Okon and HDM (this season's version). Tisserand looked good early season but now crocked. Garruccio is ok. Quintal is worth keeping. Not fussed what happens with the rest, nor the coach. 😐🤷‍♂️ Quite the rebuild...

@b_leeder A lot has been thrown in the last 4 years to avoid 5%+ unemployment, yet in spite of that...we're probably going to need 5%+ *and* eat the inflation pain previously avoiding it. Like how we had thousands of covid deaths/excess mortality plus lockdown harms avoiding just that. 🤷‍♂️

There are a couple of things the government could do ... ahh nevermind. Jim can't & shouldn't complain too much (though he will try). His policy has been to "run with inflation" ... a lot of proxies cheer this policy on too (better than a recession, higher unemployment, et al)
Tarric Brooker aka Avid Commentator 🇦🇺@AvidCommentator

@samstrades I think they just have no idea what to do. I don't think a 0.25% rise is going to make much of a dent in the coming inflation if the crisis continues. Realistically we need rates at 5% or more to really crush what inflation we can.

@AvidCommentator If it's fuel staying at an elevated level; blame Trump, bearable, lost in the noise of an electorate already irritable anyway. If it leads to, at any point, fuel rationing due to inadequate reserves; oh boy...😅

I'm really looking forward to the polling on whether or not Australians think the Albanese government has or will handle the current crisis well. Some rally around the flag is to be expected, but I suspect it will not be terribly favourable.

@b_leeder Funny on strategy when nuclear was debated at the last Federal election it was 🦗🦗 about whether having ample uranium and powering yourself has better strategic value than, say, being predominantly powered by solar panels imported from China. What could go wrong? 🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔

@QuentinFry I think that’s often for the better. I see plenty on here, making predictions about markets, wars, political consequences that most really have no idea about. And they make comments with absolute certainty. Yep, our strategic planning hasn’t been great, but we’ve plenty to trade

@disco___cat @retrobike_c16 Definitely arguable that high prices eventually rectifies the problem of high prices. Like how more people getting covid eventually stops more people getting covid, with lack of bodies to infect. But dangerous talk as it suggest the bureaucrats actually don't control it all. 😮

@SydneyFC TBH I've seen us play far worse this season and win. Would have scored far earlier but for some Worldies from their GK. Stama lively all game and really good he opened his account.

@b_leeder Political 'influencers' just a logical step from the normal ones. Drew P, Purple moron... Funnily enough my 20 year ago Iraq cynicism still shaping me here. A real lack of 'what comes next' to it all after the initial strikes. 🤷‍♂️

@QuentinFry Yep, and money to be made. I also don't think there is enough recognition of the financial/fame incentives of many of the "leading morons" to be lunatics ... their fans lap it up, contributing to their own idiocy, & occasionally it gets through to politicians, who f it up.

When first teetotal (~2023) this was my mantra, but I've now softened a lot. Because smartphones/being waaaay too online has ruined civilisation, people act differently. Stuck in a digital bubble and a culture of don't speak unless spoken too. An icebreaker sure helps there...

@b_leeder Fully expecting counter-cyclical 'cost of living relief' in the Budget BTW. The reluctance to take medicine is chronic. Plus unless you're planning deflation (they're not) prices are gonna be high anyway, so they'll keep spending/unemployment low.

Labor actively pursued a policy of "running with inflation" ... 'tis now biting the public (see polling), though most are still insulated to an extent by employment & asset ownership. Middle class shrinking is the real risk (electorally) & other "i" or "p" words become problems.
Jim Chalmers MP@JEChalmers

New numbers show inflation was steady in January but still higher than we’d like for longer than we’d like. That’s why we are rolling out cost of living relief to help people make ends meet, and why addressing these inflationary pressures will be a key focus of the Budget in May #auspol #ausecon

@AvidCommentator This has played out in a few countries. The more concerns of voters are ignored, the more they find appetite for extreme/harmful measures. Remigration, blanket bans of countries etc. But, from where I view, I still just see the continued ignoring of concerns. 🤷‍♂️
