Hold on to your hats boys, we are in for a wild ride. One phrase leaps to mind .... "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW"
Brace yourselves for more unionism, a return of the CFMEU, more strikes, higher wages, lower production, Isreal hating, aboriginal activism, less defence spending, China love, industry super fund dominance, more left leaning in schools and universities, higher electricity bills, blackouts. I'm sure there are many more delights to come that I haven't thought of.
At the moment, all you labour voters are cock a hoop, so congratulations.
I'm going to sit back and watch our once fantastic country be destroyed more and more.

The epitome of poor taste... Trump posted this on his 'Truth Social' site... Not far to go now, the Pope's only once-removed from God himself...

What can I say..? Whilst I’ve always considered myself ‘Liberal leaning’, I can’t say I couldn’t see the landslide slipping away under Dutton’s feet…
Hmmm… What was it, do you think..? Could it be that he used the word ‘woke’ one time too many..? Or maybe it was Jacinta Price's ‘MAGA’ slip up when she declared ‘Make Australia Great Again’ before biting her tongue..?
Perhaps the promise to reduce the Public Service by 40,000 might have rung a few bells and made a few people nervous..?
Then again, he didn’t exactly seek consensus on the whole nuclear energy thing, and I was a 'nuclear-brat', brought up in Radium Hill, S.A.’s pioneering/ original uranium mining venture..!
Or maybe, just maybe, it wasn't 'the Albo factor' at all, maybe Aussie voters were smart enough to put two and two together, and realising what they were witnessing in the USA in just 100 days underTrump, took a leaf out of Canada’s Mark Carney’s playbook deciding ‘we don’t want a bar of Trump inspired political here’ and collectively decided... “Albows up, Trump..!”...............https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQcTXeY-s9k ....................................................................................Trump implicated in Australian conservative party’s election loss .................................................................................

A brief summary of something to look forward to!
Page Research Centre May 8 at 12:40 PM ·
Buckle up. Labor’s next three years are going to slam Aussie wallets—and hard. Houses, cars, energy, all expected to surge in price. Uncontrolled immigration straining the system. Here’s what’s coming, and why life is about to get more expensive.
ONE: House prices will keep surging.
Labor plans to introduce a new tax on unrealised capital gain. While this might sound like it only hits the wealthy, in reality, it’s going to punch everyday Australians in the gut—especially anyone trying to buy their first home. Here’s why: Labor wants to tax “paper gains” inside super—even if you haven’t sold a thing. To dodge the risk of massive tax bills, retirees will pull their money from super and shove it into the family home. That’s extra demand without added supply. A recipe for disaster.
The AFR estimates up to $155 billion could flood into the housing market. That’s a tidal wave of cash, chasing too few homes in an already broken market. Prices will surge. More young Aussies locked out. And the dream of homeownership? Fast slipping away.
TWO: Your next car will cost thousands more.
Labor’s new “vehicle efficiency standard” is a backdoor ute tax. It’s a slap in the face to families, tradies, and small businesses—especially those outside the inner city. From July 1, cars that don’t meet Labor’s strict emissions targets will be slapped with penalties.
That means $9,700 extra for a Toyota RAV4. $14,400 more for a Ford Ranger.
And that’s not just for luxury models. It’s for everyday workhorses. Even hybrids get slugged. If you drive long distances, tow gear, or live in the bush—tough luck. Labor’s tax punishes you for not buying an EV… even though EVs are still unaffordable, impractical, and useless for half the country.
THREE: Power bills will keep climbing.
Labor promised cheaper energy. Instead, bills are soaring—and they’re not done yet. Why? Because they’ve bet everything on wind, solar, and batteries—without considering reliability or cost. A renewables-heavy grid will cost up to $332 billion to build. That’s nearly double the cost of a mixed grid—including nuclear—and it still leaves us vulnerable to blackouts and price spikes when the weather turns. It’s fantasy economics. Electricity bills have already jumped 60% in real terms over the past decade. That’s an extra $3,400 per year ripped out of the average household budget. Labor’s energy plan? It’s more pain, with no end in sight.
FOUR: The immigration floodgates are still open.
Labor says it’ll reduce migration. But after letting in nearly 1 million people in just two years, do they really expect us to believe them? They’ve lost control—not in boats, but in numbers. The result? You’re living it. Soaring rents and house prices. Gridlocked roads. Stretched hospitals. More people, no new infrastructure—and no plan to fix it. Labor’s mass migration binge is overwhelming the system. This isn’t nation-building. It’s a squeeze. Big business loves it. Universities profit. But Aussies are getting crushed. Labor hasn't been able to fix it. They opened the taps wider. If that’s their track record, why will the next three years be any different?
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Labor might think they have a mandate. But their policy implications are clear: - Higher house prices - Dearer cars - Rising power bills These next three years will test Australians. But bad policy isn’t destiny—it’s a choice. And choices can be reversed. The sooner we push back, the sooner we fix this
