Leafy camberwell adjusting to being an actual marginal seat
So far, I have only replied to others' emails. I think I should put in my 2 cents.
I have was SEVERLY disappointed with both the Liberal and Labour parties' response to Donald Trump restricting Australia's access to the U.S. market. Comments like "that is not friendly" and "he would have done a deal with me" were beyond weak. They were grovelingly sycophantic. Both Albo and Dutton failed, in my view. But they get another chance, more on that later.
I am told that Australian steel and aluminium will not be overly affected by the tariffs that are in place to this point. The U.S. will still buy our Colorbond and other niche products. And frankly, no new industry will be set up to replace our Fe and Al. They will continue to buy it, but the U.S. consumer will pay more, leading to inflation.
However, the upcoming tariffs WILL have an effect on vulnerable Australian businesses.
So what to do? Retaliatory tariffs? In game theory, it is tit-for-tat without escalation and with diplomacy. That is usually the correct response.
But I hope we go another way. The issue with tariffs is a loss of market. And so, find a new market. Simple? You might say no, but there has been an answer that has been in the works for over 10 years but did not have a catalyst to set it in motion. I think Trump is that catalyst.
What I am talking about is an economic alliance between Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. It is known as CANZUK (yes, it is clunky to say).
The UK left the EU because of many reasons. However, it has not helped them economically. Boris Johnson was a key Brexit supporter, but he wants in on CANZUK. Tony Abbott (whom I was not a fan of) wants in on CANZUK. The Canadians REALLY want in on CANZUK. And NZ is also more than 70% behind the idea.
Literally, every nation with a letter in the name has an above 70% liking for the idea.
Donald Trump is calling deals he personally (haha) did with Canada stupid... and is breaking them. The guy is willing to break ANY contract. He is inherently untrustworthy.
We cannot deal with an untrustworthy partner.
My question is, is it time for CANZUK?
If you are interested, they have a website.
Now for the bootlicking political parties. Their inability to do their job by putting a royalty on all produce being taken from Australian soil sickens me. How much Australian gas is sold with zero... not joking... zero benefit to Australians?
Find a straight politician, and I'll show you that you are bent while looking.
Yet here are a few...
One stands tall as the best based on the fact that he took his well-made fortune and then tried to hold companies to account. That person is Stephen Mayne. Hands down, the one person I'd choose for Australian Prime Minister.
And then there is a guy who I think has a clue... Ted O'Brien. Once Dutton is done, I hope Ted gets a go.
If Frydenberg comes back, he was useful. Penny Wong is good.
God help Australia if moneybags Palmer gets his nationalist stupidity up and running. Australia will go the same way as his Coolum Golf Course... the way of the dinosaurs.
I once thought the Greens were for the environment, and I voted for them in the Senate. But the party became something else. Oh, how I wish I could vote for a party that actually represented the environment.
For me, the Teals are a protest against the bastardisation of the party/group that we wanted to vote for.
And so, until the major and minor parties wise up, find their balls, and be something other than puppets for the energy industry and overseas interests... they can kiss my a$$.
P.S. Trump's tariffs will take the USA into recession as happened with the US President's Hoover's administrations and their Smoot-Hawley tariff act. At that time it took the world into a depression (lots of other stuff was in play that is not now) and resulted in WW2.
The irony / perversion is that Trump is doing what Hoover did and saying that someone else (2025 Ukraine = 1939 Poland) is setting the stage for WW3. No comedian could write this and have it believed.

So Monique’s husband stuffed up
Doesn’t stop the media laying ‘economies with the truth’ hike this herald sun opinion piece (I know, the hun)
The Teal MPs and candidates are sensitive about this because most people in their communities do not support the Greens.
In Ryan’s Kooyong electorate, the Greens received just 6.3 per cent of the vote at the last election.
And that was before the Greens disgraced themselves over the past 16 months with anti-Israel extremism and anti-Semitism.
Since the election, Ryan has voted most often with the Greens – 77 per cent of the time – then Labor (44 per cent), then the Liberals (31 per cent). Another Teal MP, Zoe Daniel (Goldstein), has an almost identical record, voting with the Greens 76 per cent of the time, Labor (44 per cent), then the Liberals (30 per cent).
————
In fact the previous election shows 21% primary green vote and 15% presumably tactically moved thir primary vote to Ryan.
She does in fact have green voters as well as labor voters (6% switched in 2022)
Libs think they are super smart here. Now imagine if green and labor voters in other contested seats tactically switch as in Kooyong.

Teals lecture the nation about integrity but their latest dirty trick — Monique Ryan’s husband tearing down a rival candidate’s poster — shows if they didn’t have double standards they wouldn’t have any at all.

The same person? I guess standing next to Dutton has an effect
May seem a bit rich to post, but the liberal wbsite attacking teals deliberately uses unflattering photos of opponents

My point is clear. Have a look at the tweet saying ‘beauty and the beast’
Just to be clear. M vote will put liberals dead last, as Dutton is the most dangerous pm candidate since mark latham
Nothing to do with looks, take your line of questioning elsewhere

The Independent for Forrest is an interesting candidate.
Urologist, ran her own clinic for 20 years in the area, may give Ben Small a few headaches.
Her ads on local tv aint bad

I think she will go close. The medical community is right behind her and Doctors aren't afraid to help a fellow colleague.
Bradfield. I think polling was against them so Fletcher quit because he only ever wanted a safe seat. It's line-ball.
Local Indy is giving it a much bigger shot this time than last, when it got to 4.5% difference. It got re-districted to be less Liberal, but not sure how much more teal.
The Liberal candidate is a typical Blue-blood executive from Salesforce.
Take two in Bradfield: hundreds of teal volunteers head down a familiar road
Independent candidate Nicolette Boele has high hopes of being next in line to wrest a northern Sydney seat from the Liberals at the federal election

To be honest, shes played at a decent level- the kind of person you want in parliament versus a guy who cant be arsed upholding the constitution and resigned from the Senate for that.

So just blindly voting for what Dutton wants?

If they ran in my seat I'd put them below Labor (who will be below Greens #1). If a hung parliament forces teals to pick a government it's going to be Liberal because their rich seat voters are millionaires and the adult children of millionaires.
