What did I miss? Australia’s political week in fast-forward

Labor's circus declares war on small businesses with a covert death tax thrown in for good measure. 

Small businesses copped Labor’s socialist king-hit. These days they’re called a ‘coward punch’ which is fitting, because what the Treasurer penned in his Budget certainly constitutes a cowardly act.

On display since last Tuesday’s Budget are Labor’s double standards. These are supported by their network of supporters I would call the bolshie petty bourgeoisie.

They’re bolshie as in communists, but they are actually the petty bourgeoisie.

They aren’t the owners of the means of production, but they’re public servants, union officials, dole bludgers, and immigrants all living off the government.

My latest in The Spectator Australia, What did I miss? Australia’s political week in fast-forward.

In response to the Budget - and its attack on private prosperity - the memes are coming thick and fast.

Businesses are announcing that Anthony Albanese is now their silent business partner who does f**k all while taking 47 per cent of their profits.
