It's time to ask, at what point do we declare Australia a failed state?
That point is as close as it's ever been.

Bill Shorten can't even get the NDIS under control, even after a two year commitment to do so.
Imagine if this guy ever became Prime Minister.

[@Cicada3301AU]

Seriously, what exactly has Bill Shorten done for the last two years?

Indigenous policy is going backwards, as it drops off the policy radar of the Federal Government.
This is unforgivable.

Yeah good luck with that, mate!
Coming from Peter Dutton, the guy who thought he could legislate back-doors into global encryption standards.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang has just arrived in Australia.
He declares he "wants to leave the nations' differences in the past".
China wants Australia to follow China's lead on the global political agenda.

Yes!
Plus an apology from all the delusional fools who felt it was their right to point the finger at us that adopted a pro-choice position and incorrectly label us anti-vaxxers.
Those finger-pointers allowed themselves to be brain-washed by the global disinformation campaign powerbrokers working in tandem with big pharma, WHO and governments.
Everything we said was true, was labeled a lie, and has been proven to be the truth.
Everything you said was a lie, we told you was a lie, and has been proven to be lies.
And now they not only refuse to apologize for their lies and spreading of misinformation related to COVID-19 origins, the virus and the vaccines, they want everyone to just shut up and move on?!
No, what you did was unforgiveable.
We will not just forget.

The Labor Party are so predictable and pathetic.
It was predicted that Labor would dish out a silly meme-scare campaign featuring the three-eyed fish from The Simpsons, after the Liberal Party launched its nuclear energy policy.
And what happened?
Labor launches a silly meme-scare campaign featuring the three-eyed fish from The Simpsons.
So predictable guys, come on!
Do better.
The silly thing is Australians are as dumb as Americans and so easily fooled by political scare campaigns, which are baseless and totally ignore the facts on issues.

It's only June, and there's now only nine weeks of sitting scheduled for the Australian Parliament for the remainder of 2024.
That's an utter joke and explains wholly why this country gets absolutely nothing done and are going backwards towards third-world status.
Honestly, is Australia the laziest government in the world?
Probable.

All valid points, however the argument can be said about the path to renewables which has been peppered with lies and mistruths, on costs and delivery.
The costs of rolling out renewables continues to surge with the no final figure actually known, but currently is set to exceed a trillion dollars.
Renewables have not delivered the thousands of "green jobs" that were promised.
Renewables have not delivered more reliable energy grid, instead made it more unreliable.
Renewables have not delivered more reduced costs for energy, instead consumer and business energy costs have soared to historic highs, pushing consumer budgets into poverty and businesses shutting down in accelerated numbers.
While the proposed path to nuclear may not be perfect - no solution is, as we've learned over decades of climate and energy debate - it sure as hell looks more promising than the current renewables trajectory of exceeding a trillion dollars and producing an unreliable grid which is reliant on battery storage for energy stability and supply assurance, and environmental destruction just to build solar and wind factories.
But funny, MSM don't wanna talk about that.
