Australia's OECD rank on budget balance is 9th, up from 35th in 2019 – third last!
The IMF warns Australia: Never vote Coalition again. If you do, expect wasteful spending, budget deficits, worse debt, reduced incomes and lower wealth.

Clearly, Labor is vastly better at the economy than the Libs. Also superior at virtually everything else. The Coalition has done nothing to restore its tattered reputation for corruption.
So why do most voters now prefer the Coalition?independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Albo's team has added 1,109 jobs per day, reaching new records for employed men and women.
Participation is also at all-time highs.
The media won't report this. Their motto: if we can’t say anything bad about Labor, don't say anything. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via IndependentAustralia

Since Fox News began to amplify Trump’s hate speech, the number of US police shot above the long-term trend is now 1,180 and counting.
The estimated grand total extra firearm victims since 2015 due to violent Trump rhetoric is 94,400.

The parallels between Germany in the 1930s and the USA today keep coming. In January, Faithful America started a campaign against Donald Trump. This replicates Martin Niemöller's Pastors Emergency League in 1933 opposing Hitler.

Last Thursday’s excellent jobs numbers confirm just one economy in the world gained positive growth each quarter last year, enjoys top credit ratings and has both jobless and inflation rates below 4 per cent. That's Albo's Australia.

How destructive would it be for America if a returned President Trump emulated Viktor Orbán? Can we assess this with actual data?
Yes. We can compare life in Hungary now with the other 37 OECD members.
Please read and share. Thanks.

How many economies in the entire world are in budget surplus, have top credit ratings, jobless below 5%, inflation below 4%, and gained GDP growth every quarter last year?
The answer is one – Australia.
The media refuse to report this.
independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Inflation is down from 6.1% when Albo was elected, to 3.4%. That's among the world’s best outcomes.
Yes, most Australians want more money. But when was it otherwise? Is this still a 'crisis'?
The media always distort, deny and falsify.

Many global agencies have commended Australia’s recent remarkable rise in economic, environmental and social rankings.
Coming when other developed economies are struggling badly, these suggest Labor’s win in Dunkley was well-merited.

The ABC/RMIT 'fact check' unit is still trying to deceive its audience by slamming Labor. Critics have blamed this on the IPA, which has a strong presence at RMIT. Fortunately, the ABC has heeded calls to dump RMIT and will soon do so.
independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

The ABC's 'Nemesis' shows some of the Coalition’s destructive internal biffo. But it omits the collapse of Australia’s economy, the damage to defence capability, the profound loss of global respect and the thousands of needless deaths.

Indigenous prisoner numbers surged in 2023 by 950 to a record 13,852. Non-indigenous prisoners only rose by 253 to 27,942, which is well below 31,095, the high reached back in 2018.
Indigenous numbers reach new highs almost every year.

2024 will be intriguing for poll tragics, with D J Trump pursuing a comeback while facing 91 criminal charges in four courts. More votes will be cast than in any prior year, with elections in 56 democracies, including the four largest.

Accusing Albo of lying is hilarious coming from Murdoch’s shonks after he paid a billion Aussie dollar penalty for falsehoods on Fox News which resulted in an insurrection.

While some Catholic bishops have bitterly attacked Pope Francis for allowing same-sex blessings, others are already planning to push for more LGBTQ equality. So the stage is set for holy havoc at the next Catholic Synod at the Vatican. independentaustralia.net/life/life-disp… via @IndependentAus

Donald Trump’s violent rhetoric, amplified by Fox News, made 2023 the worst year on record for political killings.
6,193 American children were shot last year — an all-time record. This number was zero in most other advanced nations.

WooHoo!

The biggest MAGA lie is not that Biden stole the 2020 election. It is that the US economy boomed under Trump.
The opposite is true. The US economy faltered badly between 2017 & 2020, following multiple extraordinarily foolish calls.
independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Economic outcomes show Australia rapidly climbing most global tables, not just GDP growth. The Australian should be utterly ashamed of its malicious “story” last Friday which claimed, ‘Chalmers the biggest weakness' in Albo's cabinet’.
