BREAKING: Anthony Albanese is now unbelievably blaming the Coalition for the latest rate rise, which is the 5th consecutive rise in a row and the 17th since Labor took Government with a whopping 94 seat majority. The cash rate just rocketed to 4.85%, the highest, most brutal level since 2008, marking the FIFTH consecutive hike this year and the 17th since Labor took over. And what is Anthony Albanese’s excuse? “It’s the Opposition’s fault!” You absolutely cannot make this up. Anthony, YOU ARE THE POLICY MAKER. YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF THIS COUNTRY! Stop pointing the finger at the Coalition and blaming the Middle East for the wreckage happening in Australian suburbs. When asked directly if Labor’s out o control spending played a role, Albo straight up said “No.” Utterly delusional. Even RBA Governor Michele Bullock explicitly named high public spending as a massive inflation driver, but Albo and Chalmers are still playing the victim card while Aussie mortgage holders drown in repayments. You have a majority government. You hold the levers. If you can’t manage the budget without throwing a tantrum that the opposition won't do your job for you, you shouldn't be in the top job. We don't have a cost of living crisis, we have a COST OF GOVERNMENT CRISIS. Time to take some actual responsibility, wrap up the excuses, and start acting like a Prime Minister instead of a commentator. And take accountability for once in your life and own your mistake.

BREAKING: Albanese finally scraps his Government’s direction 110 which allowed depraved foreign criminals to keep their visas and remain in Australia. It took a Congolese child rapist keeping his visa under Tony Burke’s disastrous Direction 110 for Albanese to finally change the rules, and even then they did it quietly so they wouldn’t upset anyone. The Albanese government has quietly backflipped on how visa cancellation cases are assessed. Direction 123 replaces the failed Direction 110, itself brought in after Direction 99 produced a surge of serious offenders having their cancellations overturned. The biggest change: “strength, nature and duration of ties to Australia” is no longer a primary consideration. That means non citizens convicted of serious offences can no longer lean as hard on having an Australian partner, Australian children, or arriving here as an infant to stay. Broader domestic violence definitions and new extremism considerations have also been added. But, of course, he has eased restrictions in some aspects. The reoffending risk threshold has been lowered from “would” to “might.” It took JKWL, the Congolese refugee who raped his own 13 year old daughter, including in the living room while she did her maths homework, received eight years for three counts of rape and one of indecent treatment, then was allowed to remain because deportation to Nauru might cause “disastrous and potentially fatal” consequences for his mental health, for this to happen. He was one of 124 serious criminals (rapists, pedophiles, drug traffickers and others) granted a reprieve under Direction 110 this year. Migration Institute of Australia CEO Peter van Vliet said removing ties from primary considerations “lacked compassion” Opposition immigration spokesman Jonno Duniam welcomed the downgrade of ties but said the Coalition would scrutinise whether it goes far enough and actually results in fewer serious foreign criminals remaining. Australians deserve a system that puts the protection of the community, not vile foreign criminals that this government has become accustomed to. Not the wellbeing of those who commit the most serious offences against them
