Who is Anthony Albanese and what is hiding behind his Communist connections and ideology?

The Federal Election has not been called yet but electioneering is well underway in my neck of the woods.
I am seeing posters for Labour, Greens, Teals and Liberals all over the place.
I don’t much like any of those parties but the Libs are the least worst.
I will vote for Freedom Friendly Minor Parties as far as possible.
So far I have seen a little bit of activity from Gerard Rennick (Freedom First) amd Clive Palmer (Trumpets of Patriots). Are there any others I should look out for?

I’d give Clive’s party a wide berth. I don’t trust Clive as far as I could dropkick him.
Freedom First and One Nation would be my leanings.

Please don’t dismiss Clive.
Look at the Trumpets of Patriots (formerly UAP) performance of the Senator for Victoria, Senator Babet.
Few if any members of the Thinking Community would disagree with anything he says inside or outside Parliament. He is fully on track with people here.
Check out his YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@senatorbabet or Farcebook.

David Maddison,
That’s as may be, but it’s what he *does* that matters. What he has done in the past seems a pretty good reason to dismiss him.

“Net zero by 2050 ‘impossible’ for UK, says Badenoch”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly3pnjyzp4o
Also in Tuesday’s ‘Daily Telegraph’ …
Whilst it is a break with the uniparty consensus, Badenoch – perhaps to avoid frightening the horses toooo much – still wants Nut Zero some day.
“In a speech, Badenoch said net zero cannot be achieved by 2050 “without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us”. The Conservative leader did not set out an alternative target date, but said she would consider doing so if her party found a better way of delivering net zero.”
Usual misdirection – or lies – from the BBC – “Electricity is increasingly generated from renewable energy in the UK, and the cost of renewable generation has significantly fallen in the past decade.”
Well, one step forward from a Tory, I suppose.
Many more steps needed.

From Newsmax.
I’m glad his “deep internal conflict” over purchasing the private jet didn’t prevent him from attending the “bread and circuses” event of the Formula 1 Grand Prix when there are constant commercial flights between Sydney and Melbourne.

Chinese car co nvent new electric car battery that can recharge in just five minutes

Tonyb,
What that article doesn’t mention is where this “network of ultra-fast charging devices” is going to come from. A small garage with just 4 “nozzles” will need to deal with peak power of 4 MW. To put that in perspective, the whole Westmead Hospital precinct (pdf report) has a peak power consumption of about 40 MW.
IOW, ten small garages need as much capacity as an entire hospital district. These 5-minute fills won’t come cheap.

This is unbelievable.
Australian “academics” in “universities” in receipt of US taxpayer money are complaining that they are being asked questions like whether they are also being funded by countries hostile to the United States, and whether they support the official US Government policy of “only” two genders and whether they support free speech etc..
They they turn around and have the chutzpah to complain of interference with Australian sovereignty. It’s the US taxpayers’ money FFS. They have every right to know how Australian “academic” lowlifes are mis-spending it and can withdraw it for any reason they feel like and I hope they do.
Here are some typical comments from an Australian “university”:
You can download the full document of US Government questions at the link.
Note to US taxpayers. You have absolutely nothing to gain by giving your hard earned taxes to these “universities” who ceased doing genuine scholarship decades ago and who are typically anti-American, anti-Australian, anti-Western, Communist and anti-Judeo-Christian religion in orientation. Contact your congressthing and demand the funding be withdrawn.

No David, this is great news, they are leaving no stone unturned in rooting out these switch-hitting lowlifes.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to halt airstrikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure but rejected a full and immediate 30-day ceasefire and called for an end to military aid for Kyiv in a lengthy, “frank” phone call with US President Donald Trump…“will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace”…He emphasised a key condition “should be the complete cessation of foreign military aid and the provision of intelligence information to Kyiv”.”
https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/putin-agrees-to-limited-ukraine-ceasefire-after-call-with-trump-white-house-20250319-p5lkm6.html
So the Russians get America out of the missile launches, America gets Russia out of their arms shipments via the Black Sea, and the Russian Army gets to grind forward as usual.
Any bets on who breaks the agreement first?

21st Century Colonialism is being played out by 3 high rollers:
One side plays chess
Another plays Mahjong
And lastly, cards.
Currently, the chess player has the card player on the defensive. The card player has laid down a card, and the chess player neatly sidestepped the challenge by moving a pawn to one side.
