Complacency is the destroyer of safe governments. Though through a complete lack of opposition, Chris Minns Labor government are safe, his total disregard for Labor voters is a peril. Seemingly obsessed with representing any one but Labor on any issue, being a knee-jerk rash decision maker, with terrible judgement and relentlessly pro-Israel, sooner or later, the Labor voter will stop holding their nose and just vote for someone else - I am.

oh bother

Deep into Australian Prime Minister, Don Albanese's second term in office, the media still can't lay a glove on him. The best they've had this last month is Kylie-gate and Melon-gate - it's embarrassing.

Australian AFL team, Sydney Swans have disproved the adage, no such thing as bad press, after being embroiled in a sex and drugs scandal. How Hubris (an overreaching, overconfident and arrogant belief in your own power and ability, can lead to reckless decisions destroying your life) brought them down.

Recent comments claiming domestic violence was a two-way street, by Australia's lord and savior, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, drew condemnation but unless the word "trans" is involved, Pauline has always been anti-women.

The sovereignty of The Falkland Islands has blown up again recently but Argentina's claim for the overseas British territory fails at the first hurdle - when are they giving Argentina back?

Poor, poor NIgel Farage thought he had it all covered in his attempts to avoid corruption scrutiny, and then the biggest own goal in UK political history. Two massive reasons why he will lose to the public's galvanised hero.

Because he's the hero Clacton deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A massive bin.

I love calling election results a long way out and have a strong track record of getting it right, this one though is a very risky pick, as all prevailing wisdom says Labor will lose in November. They've been in power too long, have lost an iconic leader and the press have trashed them for years. Here's why I'm still picking them for an unlikely win.

After a lifetime of falling upwards and hanging out with CEO's, Karl is now reborn as a working class hero who tells it like it is, or something.
