PM Albanese we have a fabulous country that is in a financially difficult time and we just need you to focus on what we have.

Albanese’s responses to Bondi hew to a script. Unpopular mass migration must continue – at any cost. Citizens must be socially 'cohesive' - else we’re racist.

As Labor-Liberal institutionalises mass-migration and fake net-zero, March for Australia protests continue. After October 19, the next one is Australia Day.

Donald Trump has said it direct to the United Nations – mass migration and net zero are toxic for Western nations. Can our 'Liberal' party even grasp the nettle?

Just electricity generated from wind and solar, will negatively impact humanity demands for the products based on fossil fuels.
