Labor’s litany of lies

By John Mikkelsen - posted Monday, 28 April 2025


The Coalition will also cut our record immigration by 25 percent to relieve pressure on housing, reserve East Coast gas supplies for domestic use and develop more gas fields to help keep the lights on and escalating energy costs down. It will axe the Environmental Defenders Office which continually throws obstacles in the way of essential energy projects and provide more assistance for small businesses and charities while establishing an anti-semitism task force to counter the rapid increase in hate crimes against Jewish Australians.

This is much better than Labor's performance over the past three years, sending us broke with a record $trillion debt and pushing up power prices by more than $1000 a year (where's the $275 reduction you promised us repeatedly, Albo?) They have managed to create more division and hatred than we have ever seen before after wasting $450 million on the failed Voice referendum while plagiarising The Beatles, telling us Things are Getting Better and "we've turned the corner."

We are actually teetering on the edge of becoming the banana republic Paul Keating once warned of. If Labor is re-elected, particularly if it's a minority government with Greens and Teals support, our financial and physical security will collapse into the abyss which our children and grandchildren will struggle to escape, and our few remaining manufacturing industries will be forced offshore to nations with affordable and reliable energy which include modern coal and nuclear plants in the mix.
