No change in rates - Albo will be piffed.

All rises can only be an ALP responsibility if they get in

I guess there will be some in Sydney/Melbourne, who are playing pass the parcel, will be pleased.
Did they say what underlying inflation is?

Thought it would be higher than that, now that fuel has been up for a while, probably isn't in the basket of goods. ?

The survival of abuse culture is dependent on submissive smiles and self-defeating surrenders. It is dependent on hypocrisy. My past is only relevant to the extent that I have seen—in fact I have worn—the consequences of civility for the sake of civility.
 
The one thing for sure in Australia, the P.M isn't the only one becoming fake and phony, I reckon most Australian journo's see a fake and phony person, when they look in the mirror in the morning.
It's becoming a bitter and twisted place Australia and I don't think it will end well.
Let's guess who "leaked" said information? it wouldn't be someone who wants Morrisons job after the next election would it, Noo.
The sad part is, Albo will be next cab off the rank, hope he can stop the media white anting him, because I bet there are a few lined up for his job when he gets in.
Many are coming to the twilight of their careers and a nice top up of the final average salary, will be high on many agenda. ?
 
Fake and phony landed scummo the job to start with

It lands most of them the job, it's just in the past they showed each other a modicum of trust and respect and the media wasn't a circus.
Imagine if your so called mates, started passing on the stuff you say about your boss, the dob someone in treat everyone like trash mentality is taking over in Australia. I just hope people are happy with where it ends, it certainly wont be safe to be old, that's for sure.

I guess another way of looking at it would be, would you or I do the job for $550k/annum? When I was reading today a breakfast radio host is pizzed because he lost his nearly $1m/ annum job. I bet he doesn't get called back from a family holiday to cover bushfires for the radio station, just think of the hassle the last two years have been, how many people are there in Govt? one actually Morrison cops the flack for every department, for $550k.
Like I said, Albo next, it is a hell of a gig for a superannuation scheme, you wouldn't get either of us signing up for it I bet.

When a society loses respect for authority, it isn't only those in authority, who are treated disrespectfully. The vulnerable usually end up wearing the brunt of it, because they are the easiest targets.
That's why I hate the media and the ranters and chanters, they stir up hatred and anger, then report on the resulting destruction.

I can't offer a view on the above until I know the texts are real. Something fishy about this one.

The timing is a red flag big enough to block Godwin Grech's Gatehouse

I just think the media has become completely out of control, they generate their own news, it started in the Rudd era and it has just continually pushed the boundaries to now, where anything and everything is painted into whatever they wish to portray.
I think it will be terrible for Albo, he doesn't think on his feet as quick as Morrison, IMO the media will have field day it really isn't good for society to have the authorities continually trashed by the media.
The amount of money and sacrifice thrown at this pandemic is unbelievable, with peoples best interests at heart.
Yet all the media can do, is criticise with hind sight.
They never criticise their poor projections that scared people to death and which never eventuated, they constantly try to find a negative aspect to absolutely everything.
To the plebs it must be emotionally draining, the amount of stress related domestic violence, murders and suicides must be through the roof IMO.
Just my opinion and believe me, I am no paragon of virtue.

In other words he's not as good a bull$hitter.

Yes the media are rather feral. There are some good ones who ask sensible questions, but the rest are out to promote themselves.

Most new governments get a honeymoon period, but a government that's been in for 9 years needs a working over imo.
 
The media, and especially the Murdoch media has sandcastle syndrome. they build someone up into the prime ministership only to have a great deal of fun tearing it down again.

It's been a consistent profit model for them so don't expect that to change anytime soon.

They have actually worked out that there is very little profit in genuine journalism, the big bucks being in sensationalism and creating narratives of outrage, even if, almost preferably, it is an outright lie.
 
I tell you what, someone leaking personal emails like is happening, just tells you exactly what type of people politicians are.
If that $hit happened in the workplace, someone would end up getting their face filled in.

Like we keep saying if politicians were nice people, they wouldn't be politicians.?

Yes I think Albo is old school, which will struggle with the $hithead media, just my thoughts but they take great pleasure in researching something to the enth degree, then bombard the interviewee with questions when it is their field of expertise. Just to ridicule them.

Someone mentioned this journo was good, now I see he is hitting the headlines.

Absolutely agree time for a change, but ridiculous smear campaigns are stupid, during this covid drama I bet people called other people all sorts of things, trying to move blame or gain favours. Reflects really badly on all politicians when they hang out private dirty washing IMO.
I mean let's get real Glady's calling anyone a horrible man, when she just had to chuck her job over the piece of work, she was dating, kind of sums up what a cess pit politics are IMO.
