Australia's Conservative Coalition Loses Election - Scared Of Their Own Ideas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-geb2mRBrRM ^ | 3rd April 2025 | Ozguy1945

The coalition campaign in this election has been shocking - incompetent, flatfooted, timid, incoherent and today we saw Liberals (in Australia the major conservative party is called the Liberal Party) ......

If the coalition draws the wrong lesson ..... it risks being destroyed ....... and already I do hear fake autopsies being written like this today by the Prime Minister: "The Liberal Party has become more and more right wing under Peter Dutton ,,,,,"

In fact Dutton isn't of the hard right or certainly hasn't shown it ....... he isn't even offering bigger tax cuts than Labor (the governing party) is ......

It was when Dutton was being the so-calleed cultural warrior saying No to Labor's racist (pro-aboriginal) plan for The Voice for instance that he was destroying Labor. That is why he started this year ahead in the polls saying that he'd cut immigration ....... he'd even announced this plan for those nuclear power stations ..........

Since then he's crashed. ....... Labor ran a campaign of lies that Dutton's a Trump.

I said from the start the Dutton should have picked a fight with Trump to tackle that lie and seem his own man. He wouldn't.

The coalition seemed unable to call out Labor's lies.

I think that's because the coalition had lost the courage of its convictions.

This (Labor) government has slashed living standards, slashed our defences, weakened our electricity system and let in a million immigrants making housing unaffordable for the poor.

There was nothing that was definitively conservative (in the coalition's message).

It wasn't that their policies were too right wing. It was that they stopped arguing for them.

They stopped showing that they were people of conviction.

The Leftists there want to bring their country to the Stone Age (otherwise known as Net Zero), so the ‘conservatives’ there thought it was a good idea too, so they joined the fun.

Bottom line - in much of the West, people only THINK they have the freedom to elect someone that represents their values...they don’t.

Trump’s got them right where he wants them. Ask Canada.

From the long distance vantage point across the Pacific Pond, 1 of the major early signs was the reaction to the Port Arthur Massacre in APR 1996 which resulted in massive gun control laws passed. The Ozzie government also behaved badly during the 2020-2023 COVID Scamdemic.

Murdoch veteran Bolt - feature in this clip - is ANTI-TRUMP.

Dutton was a dud, who distanced himself from Trump.

note in UK, following Nigel Farage’s Reform Party’s success in the local elections:

3 May: GB News: Labour red wall chief tells Keir Starmer to stop ‘pussyfooting around’ and take leaf from Donald Trump’s playbook
Labour Red Wall chief Jo White has called on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to stop “pussyfooting around” and make policy decisions as decisively as Donald Trump.

The chairman of Labour’s Red Wall group of MPs urged the Prime Minister to “take a leaf” out of the US President’s book by following his instincts and issuing executive orders.
“This is leadership from the front,” she said...

White urged Starmer to announce policies such as a national grooming gangs inquiry, a crackdown on immigration and investment in left-behind industrial heartlands.
She pointed to Trump’s approach, noting that since his return to the White House, he has signed hundreds of executive orders leading to drastic policy shifts on immigration, the economy and diversity schemes...

Nigel Farage’s (Reform) party made significant gains in Thursday’s local elections, winning control of councils in traditional Labour strongholds...

I can’t believe it. The little socialist, all hat and no cattle, won. And we can’t blame electronic counting machines or fake ballots. Aussies will regret this when the blackouts hit.

There are just too few Donald Trumps available.

He will lay a shellacking on them.

I would think the soaring energy costs in Germany and other parts of Europe as well as the recent blackouts in Spain and Portugal would serve as bellwethers warning that rapid change in energy policy direction is needed.

Australia like Canada is sunk.

A friend who owns farmland in Canada says he’s selling his land as they love their socialism so much they will never get out of it. His farm is being taxed to the point he cannot profit, and he knows the taxes go to support the socialist freebies.

Like Californians, they keep voting for their own misery. I suspect the Aussies are no different.

I am so happy the great citizenry of this great nation woke up and outvoted election fraud and gave us Trump.

The candidate has to inspire sufficiently to get the jaded to step up.

Time to rethink helping Austrailia build a submarine fleet that may one day be used against us.

How do we know that they did, in fact, vote for this?

They use electronic voting machines...

And a type of RCV.
