I think Australia has officially lost the plot. Some very important and pretty crazy things have happened today:
THE DUMBEST CLIMATE CHANGE IDEA EVER
LEAKED CRONYISM REVIEW
LIBERAL PARTY CIVIL WAR
MAKING PARLIAMENT BIGGER???
CLIMATE CHANGE
Australia has submitted a bid to host the next big UN climate summit in 2026 - COP31.
This might genuinely be the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.
Hosting this circus would cost well over $1 billion of taxpayer money. One billion dollars. At a time when:
We’re in a housing crisis
Families can’t afford groceries
Power bills are through the roof
Real wages are going backwards
And all of these problems have been made worse by Albanese and his socialist mates in Labor. Their answer? Host a billion-dollar climate party for foreign diplomats.
I genuinely want to know: who voted for this guy?
And underneath all this is a deeper question: why are some Australians – especially in Labor and the Greens – so obsessed with climate politics? It’s like a religion. They want to use this summit to pressure Australia into even more “climate leadership”, which in normal language means: more emissions cuts, more restrictions, more global rules telling us what we’re allowed to do with our own resources, even though Australia produces only 1% of carbon emissions.
So let’s lay out, again, why the smartest climate policy for Australia is to do absolutely nothing symbolic and focus on cheap energy instead.
Example 1: Net Zero
Net zero forces us to phase out cheap, reliable energy (coal and gas) before replacements are proven and affordable.
That makes electricity more expensive for homes and businesses.
When business energy bills go up, the cost of everything else goes up so businesses can afford expensive energy - food, transport, manufacturing, services.
Companies respond by raising prices, cutting staff, or freezing wages.
The result is lower living standards, higher unemployment, and no measurable difference to global emissions because countries like China increase more than we cut.
Example 2: Emissions Caps on Industry
Government sets “caps” on how much CO₂ big industries can emit.
Businesses that can’t meet the cap either scale down, move overseas, or pay extra costs.
Jobs are lost as factories and heavy industry shut down or leave Australia.
We then import the same products from countries with dirtier power.
We lose jobs and industry, global emissions don’t fall, and our trade balance worsens.
Example 3: Giant Green Subsidy Schemes
Government takes taxpayer money and hands it to “green projects” – often to massive corporations.
Those companies become dependent on subsidies instead of succeeding on merit.
Real innovation is crowded out by politically connected projects.
Taxpayers foot the bill while being told they’re “saving the planet.”
When the subsidies eventually shrink, many of these projects collapse or jack up prices even more. (Australia's Boondoggles are an example of this. Dozens of smaller renewable startups have folded once subsidies ended, or hiked prices to consumers to survive.)
In all three cases, the pattern is identical: huge economic damage, zero meaningful climate impact.
And now we’re supposed to clap while Labor spends over a billion dollars so a bunch of foreign delegates can fly in on private jets and lecture Australians about reducing emissions.
This summit isn’t just a waste. It’s an insult. And at some point, voters have to own the fact that they chose this government.
CRONYISM
Next up - the cronyism scandal.
A secret government-commissioned review into cronyism (that is, giving jobs, contracts and appointments to political friends instead of the best-qualified people) has revealed what everyone already suspected: the government has been installing former MPs, ex-ministers and party allies into supposedly independent boards and agencies.
In plain language: they’ve stacked the system with their mates.
This destroys public trust.
How can anyone take these “independent” institutions seriously if they’re filled with people who all belong to the same political tribe? It explains a lot, actually.
Take schools. No wonder the national curriculum is so woke. If the boards and curriculum authorities are full of people appointed for their ideology instead of their competence, you get exactly what we have now: a curriculum that doesn’t require students to learn about ancient Rome, Greece or Egypt, but does require Aboriginal spirituality in every subject from Prep to Year 10.
And it’s not just schools. If someone becomes a deputy secretary in the Department of Health because they tick the right ideological boxes instead of being the most qualified person, what do you think happens? Decisions get slower. Money gets wasted. Outcomes get worse. The same pattern is obvious at the ABC and SBS.
The funniest part? Albanese promised to end the “jobs for mates” culture.
Clearly not. Labor hasn’t just failed to fix it, they’ve arguably perfected it. It would almost be funny if it wasn’t our money and our institutions being ruined.
LIBERAL CIVIL WAR
This is going to be a LONG and pretty opinionated one so skip it if you're only interested in the daily news. Once upon a time, the Liberal Party was the proud standard-bearer of the Australian right. It was the party of free enterprise, family, nation and personal responsibility. It gave us leaders like John Howard and Tony Abbott – people who, whatever you think of them, actually stood for something.
That just isn’t the case anymore.
The modern Liberal Party has drifted so far from its conservative roots that it’s now just a slower, weaker version of Labor. The party is a confused collection of warring factions who spend more time fighting each other than opposing the radical socialist policies destroying the country.
If you’re on the left, life is simple. You’ve got Labor, the party of unions and bureaucrats, and then the Greens for the radical Marxists.
On the right? It’s chaos.
The best example of this is the recent war inside the Liberals over net zero. Half the party wants to cling to the target like good little climate disciples. The other half can see that it’s economic suicide. They have been tearing each other apart over it. And that’s before you even get to leadership.
You’ve got people like Andrew Bragg - soft, centrist, shouldn't even be in this party, and then on the other side you’ve got someone like Andrew Hastie, who actually talks about freedom, overreach and the damage of green policies. These people are technically in the same party, but might as well be from different planets.
Meanwhile, Leader Sussan Ley is losing authority every week. Even John Howard has basically admitted the party’s factionalism is a curse. They lost the last election because of this unwillingness to take a clear stand on anything, and instead of learning from it, they’ve doubled down.
To be fair, there are genuinely good people still inside the Liberal Party. Andrew Hastie is one of the only MPs who consistently talks about defence, national security and the real strategic threats Australia faces. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has been one of the strongest voices on ending welfare dependency and actually fixing problems in remote communities instead of just throwing more symbolic money at them.
If the Liberal Party were made up entirely of people like Hastie and Price, I’d happily support them. But they’re not. They’re exceptions trapped inside a party led by someone whose main political priority seems to be “more women in parliament” - at a time when the country is being smashed by inflation, housing chaos, crime and energy prices. Women already have equal legal rights. No-one outside the inner-city bubble cares about gender quotas while they can’t pay the power bill.
So where does that leave us? I see two possible paths.
1. The Liberals move properly to the right. They could rediscover their backbone and become a party that is unapologetically:
pro-capitalism
pro-family
pro-strong borders
pro-energy independence
anti-government waste
And they could actually prosecute the case against Labor instead of politely nodding along. How is Albanese gaining anything in the polls when his government has failed so obviously on housing, power and cost of living? Because the Liberals are too busy arguing with each other to make the case.
2. The good MPs jump ship to One Nation. Option two is more drastic: ditch the Liberals altogether. Let the careerists keep the brand, and have the genuinely conservative MPs and Senators move across to One Nation.
We’re already seeing signs of this realignment. Barnaby Joyce has left the Nationals and hinted at joining One Nation. If more people like him followed, One Nation would instantly become a serious major force.
Why? Because on policy, One Nation is already miles better:
They want immigration cut to sane levels.
They oppose net zero and insane green targets.
They support cheap, reliable energy.
They actually defend Australian sovereignty instead of outsourcing everything to the UN.
In an ideal world, One Nation would grow the way Reform UK has in Britain. Reform was laughed at for years, and then suddenly they’re beating the Conservatives in polls and on track to win the next election.
I’d love to see something similar here, a realignment where the fake “centre-right” Liberals are replaced by a genuinely right-wing party.
The problem is, One Nation might never fully shake the “racist” label. It doesn’t matter how many of the accusations are false or exaggerated, the media will never stop repeating them.
Even so, One Nation has been gaining support in the polls. So it’s possible.
But as it stands today, the Liberal Party is in absolute shambles, and the right in Australia is fractured, leaderless and confused.
BIGGER GOVERNMENT??
And finally, the cherry on top: the federal government is looking at increasing the size of the parliament. More Reps and Senators.
Of course they are. Labor is addicted to growing government the way a crackhead is addicted to cocaine.
Let’s spell out what “more MPs” actually means:
More six-figure salaries.
More staffers on the public dime.
More offices, travel, and perks.
More layers of bureaucracy between you and anyone who can actually make a decision.
It’s the same pattern we keep seeing. Every time the economy struggles, every time families are under pressure, this government’s instinct is not to cut waste or shrink itself. It’s to expand and spend more on itself.
And you have to ask: how exactly will new seats and new electorates be drawn up? What are the odds that the boundaries just happen to magically benefit Labor?
That’s all that really happened today. The summary is pretty simple: EVERY SINGLE PARTY SUCKS, but Labor is in a league of its own when it comes to wasting money and making life harder for normal people.
That's all, bye.
