For as long as I’ve watched Australian politics, one pattern stands out: Coalition governments are largely idle, achieve little, and then, once in opposition, loudly criticise Labor for failing to tackle the same national priorities they neglected.

@TonyShepherd4 Mindblowing that your defence of a failing government is the previous failed government. “Yeah but the last gov also sucked” is such a monumentally pathetic argument as to why you don’t hold the current loser and his sycophants accountable for anything.

@TonyShepherd4 Except of course for Abbott, Howard and Menzies. Who wiped the floor with divided, infantile and economically illiterate Oppositions.

@TonyShepherd4 Maybe because everytime the Coalition has been elected in my time they've tried to gently steer the country back on course after Labor's destructive look at me antics. And they've been quite successful at that. Australia was debt free and prosperous under Howard and Costello.

@TonyShepherd4 Housing Affordability, Immigration, Cost of Living and Energy prices have all gotten worse. What exactly has this government done to make hard working Aussies lives better ?

@TonyShepherd4 Tony? Yes and no. Remember on coming into government Albo chose to adopt Scott Morrison's Welfare Policy. Albo chose not to protect vulnerable people. But to keep the brutal abuse going. Via the barbaric Privatised Mutual Obligation Policy. A Robodebt styled Automated

@TonyShepherd4 100%. The people who think the Liberals are better budget managers will believe anything.

@TonyShepherd4 Absolutely! When I see the LNP banging on about the housing crisis, I get angry as to why the 'journalists' (I use that term loosely) don't ask then what they did about it for the 9 years they were in Govt.

@TonyShepherd4 Watching Australian politics over the last 50 years confirms this 100%. Reform is hard and tearing down is easy.

@TonyShepherd4 Exactly, Tony. The LNP only looks at ways to exploit average people while benefiting the well-off

@TonyShepherd4 For as long as I’ve watched Australian politics, one pattern stands out, all of the main parties serve their funders, not us.

@TonyShepherd4 …as the failure of the western market continues to impact more people & the intensity of these grand failures materialise, govts are increasingly called to intervene to fix the broken system… The trump approach has already failed. #marketfailure #housingcrisis⛺️ #auspol2025

@TonyShepherd4 Because Tony they are unable to admit they failed miserably in Aust politics - 101. Listen to the ppl for god sake!! But that is not in their DNA. It is all about them, not the Aust electorate, not Australians of any age bracket. 1/2

@TonyShepherd4 Paul Keating described Costello's stint as Treasurer as sleeping in the hammock. A very accurate description.

@TonyShepherd4 Switch liberal and labor in this and it's the exact same. It's almost like neither side of the uniparty is serving the country or its people. But do go on trying to argue one side of the coin is any better.
