If Albanese can afford a $4.3Mil house to live in then good luck to Mr Albanese. He has made good investments. I would rather that in a politician than a person imprudent, reliant on others to support him in his latter years.
The great thing about this nation is anyone can get ahead, even someone born into public housing.
Albanese has got a problem however in his electorate of Grayndler. He obviously does not want to live there. If I bought a house to live on the coast the people of New England would say goodbye, go live there. His timing is bizarre considering the looming election. That brings into question his judgment and his Treasurer, who obviously wants his job.
I don’t care much about either dilemma, what matters is what happens to our nation. We have to become as powerful as possible as quickly as possible. The world is becoming very precarious and we need to be prepared for circumstances quite dire.
We have a duty to our children and grandchildren to get the hell out of Peter Pan land and understand that to stand against totalitarianism you better toughen up. Intermittent power, gender fluidity, manufacturing leaving, environmental laws pushing agriculture out of feeding us and earning export dollars, a growing national debt, a defence force way below what is required, transport infrastructure that has only two sealed roads across Australia.
If we want to fight the weather, grow trees and embrace all the nuances without the guardrails of social discipline and academic acumen, then enjoy it for what is, a passing experience, like leaping off a cliff in the central coast.
We have created a nation where if you discovered gold in your backyard you would never get through the regulatory mountains to mine it. We have created a nation where the state can order you to be locked up in your flat and we accept it.
We have a national broadcaster paid over a billion dollars a year from taxpayers and has not one national compère who could be clearly seen to be from the right side of politics but pens of compères clearly from the left.
We have states overwhelmingly dominated by one capital city that hardly inspires broad dynamic growth. Western Christian civilisation is a pretty good ticket. In comparison to alternatives it has an excellent track record but our children are told to be ashamed of it.
A dot on a canvass is supposed to compare favourably to Rembrandt. Because of an absolute nut job power policy many Australians are really struggling to get by and some just can’t afford to live in the luckiest country on this little blue ball in the universe.
Yes, Mr Albanese buying a house at Copacabana Beach is not really a big issue for Australia.
