http://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/albos-team-sets-employment-records-despite-job-categories-disappearing,17629

Albo beats Scummo in every imaginable way.

ScoMo, like Trump, got stuck with the Covid Pandemic.
When all the hard work had been done, all Albo and Joe had to do, with the aid of traditional leftist media, unions, rioters, was bark criticism of ScoMo and Trump from the sidelines, and blame them for everything.
Then ride in on white horses and take over... voters fooled.

Low unemployment?
Of course. You're not an unemployment statistic if you're not looking for work.
Why would you be looking for work if you can get a generous unemployment benefit paid into your bank account every 14 days..."work for the dole" having been scrapped.

New Zealand is in recession.

Australia is expected to join it soon.
People are having to sell their homes, construction companies are going broke, businesses are going broke as sales slump.
Albo's energy price drop election promise is in the toilet.
Can't blame ScoMo and Josh for it.
Albo just blames everything on "the war in Ukraine"...and gets a free pass, for now.

Australia needs to keep close with California, we have good relations with Australia, and we can work together in the business of Fashion, Film, Television, and Music, etc, etc, etc. California also has great colleges, including Pepperdine in Malibu which is a great Christian college, my Father studied Business at Pepperdine, it is a great school, we have a lot of great schools and the Australians are welcome to attend the schools here. We also have USC film school, and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, etc.

Australia can also expand trade with the Philippines, and Australia can welcome immigrants from the Philippines to Australia, etc. The Filipinos are good Christian people who can help Australia.

And of course there is China, and Europe, and India, etc, and Latin America, etc. Australia can get coffee from Colombia, etc. Australia can sell beef to China, etc, etc, etc, Australia can help to feed China.

Here in California we have the Outback restaurants which are Australian themed restaurants, and we have KB Lager, etc, and Fosters beer, etc. We also have cheap Australian wine here. And the Australians love the beaches in California, and the surfing culture here.

When McDonald's opens restaurants all over China then Australia can sell the beef to China for their hamburgers, etc.

New Zealand needs to focus on Tourism, and they need to welcome the Chinese tourists, etc, they need to become chefs, and they need to open resorts, etc, and the people of New Zealand can wine and dine the Chinese and they can be the vacation destination for the Chinese.

Salute,

Tony V.

He's a frustrating blend of progressive ideas (he's been a helluva environmental lawyer, and has made some insightful comments about the power of oligarchy in the US), and nutty conspiracy theories.  I'm not sure what caused some of the marbles to fall out back in the early oughts, but I don't think seeing his uncle and his father assassinated helped his overall stability.  And maybe was an early precursor to future infatuation with conspiracy theories.

Fear not, bambu has no intention of migrating to California, or anywhere else in America.
It's not that the USA is not a wonderful place...it's just that he would get lost there, no money...he'd have no hope, even if allowed in...earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes...and shovelling snow!
Imagine poor bambu in America, oh the horror, where would he live, how would he survive...too dreadful to even imagine it. Cleaning public toilets to survive would be on the cards.
"Better the 'devil' you know"!
Think America is a young man's game. Young man with degrees, a federal govt job, money.
Don't think 'elderly people' are allowed to migrate anyway.
US has a $28billion trade surplus with Australia...so we're good for something!  lol

Vlad is very unhappy that the Australian govt passed laws stopping Russia from building a new embassy on land close to Federal Govt Parliament House in Canberra.
Canberra is a planned city, 282km SW of Sydney.
Way out in he country.
Getting down near the 'Snowy Mountains', ski fields.
More snow falls on them than on the Swiss alps.

Canberra is surrounded by hills and small mountains
One mountain, Black Mountain, has atop it a large communications tower.
Guess who would've had a perfect line of sight to the tower?
...the new Russian embassy!

Bambu, you are educated and well mannered and I am sure that you would make a fantastic Butler to a wealthy family in Beverly Hills, or in Napa, and Mrs Bambu could be a Nanny for their children, and you and Mrs Bambu could live a life of luxury in California. The household staff members are part of the family for the rich people.

Salute,

Tony V.

Sounds good, Tony.
I'm living a good life here these days, elderly retired people who own somewhere to live no matter how modest don't need to spend a lot of money, the govt aged pension is enough if spent wisely.
Butler to the wealthy in Beverly Hills would've been a good adventure 30 years ago.

Sky News just announced that it will take Australia 400 years to mine enough nickel to be able to phase out fossil fuels.
And, that making aluminium is very energy intensive.

Well then you are fucked. No where near enough dead dinosaurs to make it 400 years. Looks like it is a.Road.Warrior future for you.
