Any tips for the UK please, I see you've dumped Morrison, do you want Johnson?

Re: Changing your government
I haven't spent a cent today. I can see that being a pattern for the next 3 years, as people totally cut spending, especially the wealthy, the ones who generate the most tax.
Women independents definitely created the difference here (so much for unity). It’s gonna be funny watching women turn on themselves when they have to balance the household budget with inflation skyrocketing and minimum wage (Australia already has the highest minimum wage in the world) going through the roof and Albo standing there with his dick in his hand. We’ll see how much people give a **** about “climate action” then.
Oh so much fun.

Re: Changing your government
I don't see this as climate change result, rather than getting rid of the most self-serving PM and front bench we have ever seen. They were taking the piss and had to go. I'm glad I'll never have to listen to Scomo's shit for a while. His behaviour even in the house would see him sacked in the corporate world. I was worried that voters had got used to it.
However this election was a national tantrum fuelled by self entitlement, which is a bit short sighted given Australia just navigated a global pandemic where the self entitled received one of the best handout rates in the world, from a government that apparently doesn't care. Go figure.
Sadly the self entitled are in for a rude shock.

I am not exactly sure self serving would be a term I use for Scomo. But there you go.

Self-entitled is pretty apt
As the old saying goes:
Hard men bring good times
Good times bring soft men
Soft men bring hard times
Repeat
We're in a time of soft men. Biden, Trudeau, Ardern, Johnson, Macron, Scholz etc - and now Albanese. History shows that things will probably not end well but hey ho
Anyway, it's raining, things are green, the autumn colours are spectacular, the hills are magnificent, the economy is good, we've all got jobs and the tax cuts are coming. In three years we'll get to decide if Albo has done a good job or not
Life's good and onwards and upwards

Re: Changing your government
I must of missed the bits about tax cuts. Do telll? I do know that creating wage growth is a fairy tail, stalling inflation is out of everyone's control, and both of those scenarios will hurt the people who need it most. Oh that's right, it wasn't an election built on that type of important stuff, it was all about get rid of Scomo. I do not have the confidence you have in onwards and upwards

Ignore the ridiculous list of occupations as many plumbers earn more than barristers but you'll get the drift
By onwards and upwards I mean life goes on. Rudd and Gillard broke most of what they touched - as all socialists do - but not long after they were skopped out, Australia was back on track under Tony Abbott. The same will happen now. Western voters continually elect governments that will hurt them - it is what it is
