One Nation the big winner this election

Pauline Hanson's One Nation increased its primary vote this election. [Source: X]

The real winner of this election was Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. Unlike the other conservative parties, Pauline stuck to her guns. She didn’t deliberately antagonise the Coalition and for the most part her preferences were directed to them.

Not like the other conservative parties who did little more than fight against the Coalition. They deserve much of the blame for Labor’s win. Working Australians would have been better off if Clive Palmer had played lawn bowls.

What we needed was a conservative leader who would fight for us. Instead, we had conservatives fighting each other. Except Pauline.

Election 2025: Peter Dutton vs. the world

No comments

Peter Dutton vs. the world.

Menzies’ party has been the most successful in Australian political history. Even in the last tumultuous decade, the Liberals have been in power for much longer than Labor. It’s a good thing, too. With the polls now pointing to a Labor minority or majority government, the next three years will be tough.

Writing in the Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

Michael de Percy says that it seems as if the election campaign has been a case of Peter Dutton vs. The World. ‘It’s not just the unions that help Labor. Our entire education system is geared towards supporting progressive politics. While once upon a time universities were the forum for a contest of ideas, now they are a training ground for progressive politics.’ Indeed, the rising youth voting is almost a guarantee of a future uphill battle for any conservative leader.

Working Australians get nothing!

Albo pulled his lame Medicare card stunt at the National Press Club, 30 April 2025.

From the National Press Club: Peter Dutton made a mistake by refusing to address the National Press Club this week. In recent memory, the two other (electoral) losers who decided to campaign in the final week rather than address the Press Club were Bill Shorten and Scott Morrison. I rest my case.

Albo is a smooth performer, and today he didn’t miss a beat. But make no mistake, if you are not on welfare, or you are not a member of a union, then Albo’s campaign slogan could rightly be summed up as:

Working Australians get nothing!

Writing in the Morning Double Shot newsletter, Terry Barnes had this to say:

As Michael de Percy points out, in this election campaign, working Australians get nothing from Labor. As a late Boomer, I’ll go further: my generation gets nothing from either side, except abuse. You see, we’re seen as on the way out, although we’re still the biggest generation on the electoral roll. It’s Millennials and Gen Zs they want, and both sides are happy to tell those younger voters that Boomers are stealing their homes and wealth, instead of thanking us for creating both for them. Message to Boomers; when this election is over, go forth and spend your kids’ inheritance! They deserve it!
