The left has once again proven what it always proves. Socialism doesn’t work.
They’ve run out of other people’s money, they’ve run out of ideas, and now we’ve literally run out of fuel. The experiment is over. The bills have arrived. And the Australian voting public has had enough.
For years we were told to keep swallowing it.
Higher taxes, open borders, endless spending, performative rituals, and a foreign policy with a soft-touch on terrorist regimes while doing little for our own diggers.
We sucked it up like John Coffey in The Green Mile, taking in every ounce of the sickness the elites forced down our throats. Now the public is about to spew the whole rotten mess back into the æther.
That’s why voters are quietly cheering for Pauline Hanson to succeed. They’re glad she’s got an aeroplane. They’re glad rich people are donating to her cause instead of renewable energy duds. They want her out there, flying into the electorates the Canberra bubble forgot, saying what ordinary Australians are thinking. One Nation isn’t some fringe protest. It’s becoming the circuit-breaker the establishment fears.
Australians are sick of mass immigration that changes suburbs overnight while those in power lecture about ‘diversity’. They’re sick of being forced to pay for ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremonies and today’s grievance industry.
They’re sick of faux veterans cashing in while real warriors, who were sent to fight, are treated like yesterday’s news. And they’re absolutely sick of the spectacle of our country being run down by cowards who profit from a dodgy, self-loathing view of Australia.
Then we turn to economics.
The Treasurer hasn’t done anything wrong. Nothing is his fault. He inherited the wreckage left by the Coalition and the global mess that followed. What a load of bollocks! He says nothing, but with authority.
Australia is worse off under Labor. Always was, always will be.
Politics has become utterly putrid because of the Uniparty. Labor and the Coalition are now two wings of the same bird, pushing the same globalist, big-spending, open-border agenda while pretending to be different. This Uniparty stitch-up is why voters are flocking to outsiders like Pauline Hanson to break the rotten system.
Anzac Day was the straw that broke the camel’s back. While we honoured our real diggers, in the press and across social media, the elites turned the sacred day into another festival of division, self-loathing, and Woke lectures. That was the moment ordinary Aussies started spewing.
The Left’s answer is always the same. More spending, more regulation, more division, more lectures. When it fails, they blame the voters, not their lollipops and unicorns policies.
Well, the voters have reached their limit. The big vomit is coming. And when it does, it won’t be pretty for the establishment.
One Nation has a chance to turn the whole rotten system on its head. Not by being ‘extreme’, but by being normal. By putting Australians first, by demanding secure borders, fiscal sanity, respect for our veterans, and an end to the guilt industry.
The swamp of stupidity that spawned this mess can slink back to the inner-city cafes and university common rooms where it belongs. And then One Nation can drain that swamp, too.
The public has swallowed enough. Now it’s time to spew it out and vote accordingly. Pauline Hanson’s aeroplane is just the beginning. The real flight is the one that takes Australia back to common sense.
