The ScoMo Government

The aggressive chest beating and banging the war drum by Morrison for popularity in what may be an election year against China is particularly worrying.

I actually don't think Howard would have gone that far to antagonize a sensitive super power who just happens to be our biggest customer.

The Singapore PM stated the obvious but Morrison wont be listening.

With the Covid app, I use the W.A one, it seems strange to have a Federal one, I wonder if anyone would use it? Probably a bit like robodebt, it seemed like a good idea at the time. ?

Do you mean a WA-specific QR code?
A federal QR code would allow cross border instances to be tracked instantly via your personal contact details.
The recent case of the Victorians who tested positive in Queensland took 2 days to notify us of their visited locations, and I doubt the public think that's good enough!

I just down loaded the app that was being advertised on T.V, haven't been out of the State for a year and a half, the QR code on the one I downloaded pings when I scan into Bunnings or the pub, so all is good as long as you Eastern States yuppies stay over there. :xyxthumbs

Interesting I tipped a while back, that an early election in late OCT may be on the cards, makes perfect sense, from Morrison's point, I still think Albo needs to get a move on to get some policy traction.
Hopefully they will crank it up soon.
With Singapore, they have to be everyone's friend, small island trade hub, financial hub, sod all resources.
It will be interesting to see if the U.S and U.K start to crank up its steel production again.
 
Trade agreement with the U.K, in the pipeline.

Australia waiting for ‘the right deal’ with Britain, says Scott Morrison

Scott Morrison and Boris Johnson will thrash out the final terms over a lavish dinner at Downing Street.

From the article:
Carbis Bay: Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Australia won’t sign a rushed trade agreement with Boris Johnson unless it’s “the right deal”, as both leaders prepare to thrash out the final terms over a lavish Downing Street dinner.

The new post-Brexit economic pact is due to be settled this week during Morrison’s five-day tour of Britain but a dispute over tariffs and quotas for agricultural goods still needs to be resolved.
Wary of a backlash by British farmers, Whitehall trade negotiators want tariffs on Australian beef and lamb products phased out over 15 years - a proposal the Australian side is unlikely to accept.
Johnson’s cabinet is split between those who think a true free trade deal should sweep away all tariffs and quotas, and others who fear more Australian meat will harm British farmers and want caps on how much fresh food can be imported into the United Kingdom.
Australian Council of Trade Unions president Michele O’Neil said unions wanted to see economic modelling that proved an agreement would create good jobs in each country.

“We call on the governments to be transparent about the contents of this in-principle agreement, and immediately begin consultations with trade unions about the detail of the agreement,” she said.
Early modelling by the British government suggests the overall benefits would be relatively small, with the deal forecast to lift UK GDP by 0.02 per cent, or £500 million ($915 million).

Yes just have to move on to the next disaster, apparently inflation in the U.S has hit 5%, so that will be the next media target interest rates on the move.
If they go up, that will really cause the Morrison government some worries, hit peoples hip pocket and there is always a backlash.

Well... there goes all the conspiracy theories about alternative money systems.

For as long as inflation remains a hidden tax on the public we are stuck with what we've got.

Imagine walking into a high inflation environment with a trillion dollar debt...

Sign Australia is heading for disaster

When US President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump back in November, there was a swift consensus in the media and among pundits that the ‘Trump era’, defined by populism and rising frustration with the political class, was drawing to a close.

Barnaby Joyce is back as National Party Leader.

How insanely priceless. Somehow (God knows how...) he expects the thousands of politically active Country Party women who watched the debacle of his behaviour to women to simply roll over and welcome him with open arms and open legs.:laugh:

I think there will be some very serious campaigning against a National Party lead by Barnaby Joyce. The Independents will play merry hell. It's not as if there hasn't been plenty of similar successful campaigns to date.
Just what ScoMo needs

Jeez, if good sexual morality was a prerequisite for politics, we'd have almost no politicians... from any party.
 
McCormack was no sharp knife, but the decision to go back to Barnaby was stupid in my opinion.

He's been notorious for accepting bribes (Gina Hancock's cheque) and for making other blunders.

His opposition to climate change action is out to step to what his own constituency (the Nation Farmers Federation) is committed to.

That the Nats wanted a change from McCormack is understandable, but why go to Barnaby instead of Littleproud or Fiona Simpson ?

The Nats really are in a mess.

Hence, why I am no longer a Liberal voter, Senate, or Reps.

I choose to vote for liberty... Or at least the closest facsimile thereof.

It ain't Liberal
It ain't Labor
It ain't the Nats
It ain't the Greens

Just not sure at this stage who it actually IS.
