Memo to Coalition: maybe next time

Since 1931, no first-term government has lost. Yet even Dutton, I claim, could have got well out front. After cyclones Trump and Alfred however, latest polls put Labor back ahead.

Back on Trackdoesn't cut it, being cautiously me-too. With Dutton own-goals, proposing nuclear net-zero and squibbing immigration-housing. Now comes his red herringof deporting deviant dual-nationals. Spent too long at Home Affairs, mate.

At docile ABC, Labor's open-borders net-zero demolition-derby is called "playing it safe" and did we mention Trump? Indeed, Labor may well return to power, riding overblown Trump insinuations. Uninspiring Coalition might have to wait their 6-12 years for Australia's largely ceremonial changeovers of government.

Labor-Greens government? Heavens forbid. To my obsolete 20^th century mentality, their toxic mix of UN-dogma and race-hysterics is scarcely recognisable as Australian.
