This week, Labor failed a political IQ test.

The best way to fight your political opponent is to Labor what pouring petrol on a fire is to the Rural Fire Service. Not only did Labor raise barely a trickle of financial support to stop One Nation, they helped Pauline win big. After three days and counting, One Nation’s war chest has surpassed $3.6 million.

Albo reckons it’s all a bit dubious. Pauline posted proof of truth.

Independent tech auditors say the amount is legit. Apparently, they’ve checked with the SQuirreLs and the SQuirreLs say the funds are not just promised but already delivered. That means there could be even more money on the way.

Just to remind Albo about his integrity, trucks are now driving around his electorate of Grayndler with the words ‘Fire the Liar’ emblazoned on the sides of the trucks.

Your donations are already being put to work.

Grayndler, which includes Sydney’s Marrickville and the western part of Newtown, is well-known for its humorous use of street signs. Remember the TISM song ‘Greg! the Stop Sign!!’? It’s right there near Probert Street.

But never mind the trendy greenie leftie voters of the inner west. Street sign art has now moved into Copacabana.

You couldn’t make this up. I thought Copacabana was a nickname for Albo’s $4.3 million mansion. I didn’t know it was an actual suburb. (Why the hell would I know anything about a suburb where houses cost over $4 million?)

But Copacabana is the actual name of the suburb where our Prime Minister purchased his mansion.

However, the 50km/h speed limit signs in Copacabana now read from top to bottom ‘Zero Integrity’ with a pic of Albo’s dial, then ‘50 lies’, ‘Not One Truth’, #LowBloAlbo.

Labor is trying to make it all about the Coalition’s downfall. In the meantime, Labor spokespersons and the unions are being briefed on how to take the fight to One Nation as if they are already the official opposition.

Which brings me to another point. One Nation are kicking goals without all the usual trappings of a major party. I am sure fans of One Nation appreciate what Pauline’s small team are able to achieve with such limited resources.

The next time some Uniparty squeeze questions One Nation’s policies, I’d be asking, ‘Imagine what they could achieve if they were properly resourced?’ Albo has them fighting with one hand tied behind their back.

That’s because earlier this year, the Prime Minister reduced One Nation’s discretionary staffing allocation. This forced multiple staffers to be made redundant, while Labor still employs something like 500 staffers. One Nation is not only punching above their weight but they’re winning in my book.

Albo is looking like a central NSW bunny in my truck’s headlights. Perhaps TISM will write a new song called ‘Albo! The 50km/h Sign!!’

Voters are noticing. Numerous polls have One Nation approaching or exceeding 30 per cent in the primaries and in some recent surveys, leading Labor outright. For the first time in the history of the polling agencies, a party other than the majors is leading the polls. Albo stated he has been playing the ‘long game’. More like Long March.

Albo’s created the conditions for revolt with high migration, housing pressure, and cost-of-living pain, now he’s acting all surprised that voters don’t like silly long games after all. Just get your hand out of our wallets already! If interest rates go up again on Tuesday next week, I’m tipping Labor’s totally done. But probably not before I’m done good and proper.

Speaking of TISM. I remember we referred to the band This is Serious Mum as TISM before they were even known as TISM. Their debut album, Great Truckin’ Songs of the Renaissance, has a great track that appears to be Chris Bowen’s theme song. The third single from the album, I’m Interested in Apathy, tells the story of a man who thinks he knows everything but does nothing at all, not even finishing the song. (Mind you, he does know about drilling for oil in the Bass Strait, unlike our Climate Change Minister the COP31 President Boeing Bowen Mr Bowen.)

In the song, Mr Apathy reckons he can disprove Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. In real life, Mr Bowen reckons wind and solar are the best things since sliced bread and we need to ramp up spending on them to increase our productivity.

Then along came the Productivity Commission this week. I picture them shouting, ‘Chris! The Stop Sign!!’

A study released by the Productivity Commission demonstrates that while capital investment in renewables and green energy has increased 126 per cent since 2001, the output of these energy assets has only increased by 14 per cent over the same period.

To nobody’s surprise, that means that investment in renewables is actually dragging down productivity. TISM’s Mr Apathy would be proud.

Never mind that. The Prime Minister reckons One Nation is fringe and all about ‘grievance politics’. Turns out the grievance was that the system is actually broken for ordinary people.

What did you miss? Probably buried in the hullabaloo of One Nation kicking goals is that the Coalition aren’t ruling out a deal with the ‘minor’, ‘fringe’, ‘populist’ party that the majority of people might vote for if there was an election held today.

But if you’re like me and your household budget is living in an iron lung and your bank took all your savings in extra mortgage repayments because of this government’s poor economic governance, you won’t care who does it. Just get rid of Labor! (C’mon TISM, how about a reprise of ‘Greg! The Stop Sign!!’ to cement Albo’s legacy?)
