If public servants deserted the PM, then his UK speech was definitely a political one

Poor Penfold. As noted by franky22, he just can’t get over the last election.

Albo’s approval rating has wobbled around 45% give or take a bit for the last two years. Currently it is 44%. Penfold always has trouble with numbers.

One Nation’s support has risen since the last Federal election, to 13%, probably owing to the Liberal Party’s losses, yet 58% of people in the poll did not want Australia to be more like America, so that offers nothing to the right for the next election.

Penfold quite accidentally forgot to mention that 61% of responders thought the emissions target for 2035 was about right or not ambitious enough. Emissions reduction is thus supported despite worries about whether we can achieve it. Did Penfold notice this morning’s news that the Gladstone power station will now be shut down in 2029 rather than 2035? Uneconomic compared with renewables.

The “right direction” question has wobbled around its current level for a couple of years now, with 50% thinking it is wrong. Despite that only 44% are pessimistic about the future.

Penfold’s usual beat-up. That last election must really hurt.

Impressive Axon, you were able to quote a poll number close to accurately. But what you neglected is his approval rating just slumped 5 points in a month and his disapproval jumped too. Now net negative.

Chris J was rather upbeat about Albo “cementing his popularity with Australian voters” a few weeks ago, so though it worth mentioning that the cement is more porous than expected. And all this after his “triumphant” UN and overseas visits. Maybe his carbon footprint is on the nose.

Now you’re correct about the 2035 ERT was supported, but again you failed to mention that 2/3rds of Aussies think we’re not getting anywhere near meeting the target. Roughly equivalent to all Labor voters. Frankly 100% of Aussies should be worried based on how far away from the 2030 target we are.

As for the last election well we’re well past that now. Though i’m loving how Labor supporters are gloating at one of the lowest Labor primary voted in history – barely 1/3rd of Aussies. It’s what one might call a very “soft” 94 seats. Pauline Hanson must be over the moon today and the Greens must be running around thinking denial is a river in Egypt.

You might want to review those “right direction” stats. Only 34% (that Labor vote again) think we’re on the right track.

And let’s face it – when an Essential (Greens, TAI, Guardian) poll has such bad polling numbers for a hard-left socialist government – it’s pretty bad news for … errr …. “progress”.

I look forward to Chris’ article.

Hilarious to see Penfold still so distraught over the election result.

Don’t worry buddy, it’ll get better for you if you just stop getting so worked up.

“Impressive Axon, you were able to quote a poll number close to accurately. But what you neglected is his approval rating just slumped 5 points in a month and his disapproval jumped too. Now net negative.”

Wow, Albo’s approval rating dropped. To pretty much the same level its been consistently since the start of 2024, after getting the typical post election honeymoon bump that winners usually get.

His approval rating was 41% in Jan 2024 and has floated between 40-45% for most of the last 2 years. Amazing analysis Pengold.

Susan Ley seems to be on the nose as well, with her disapproval rating going up 6% points in 2 months.

Australians also think that your boy Trump is doing a woeful job by the numbers, the Liberals would do well to steer clear of his policy direction.

And good to see you admit that the vast majority of Australians think the emissions reduction target is about right or should be higher.

The numbers also show that Australians are worried about not being able to achieve it, so this gives good support for the government to do more in the policy space to achieve the goal.

Thanks for highlighting those points, it shows your claims over the rejection of net zero dont match what Australians actually want.

😀😂😂👨‍🦯👨‍🦯👨‍🦯

“Australians also think that your boy Trump is doing a woeful job by the numbers, the Liberals would do well to steer clear of his policy direction.”

As Americans fight to save their democracy from the tiny but powerful minority pushing it toward a white nationalist Christian theocracy I do not believe that young earth creationist Hastie is going to be the winning choice Penfold and others on the far right believe it is.

The difference being that whilst both Australians and Americans in the majority don’t want this stuff Australians vote.

Oh gosh Penfold! You mean Albanese’s approval rating slumped after it jumped? So what? I did say it wobbled about and has stayed much the same in the last two years, to which chewy14 has added numbers.

Only you care about these trivial changes. Albo must haunt your dreams and nightmares.

“you failed to mention” Oh but I did mention it Penfold. Did you not notice “despite worries about whether we can achieve it”. Why are you ignoring that people approve the direction but are a little anxious about achieving it, implying more action is desired? Why are you ignoring that while 50% claim to think we are on the “wrong track” (not enough renewable energy fast enough?) only 44% are pessimistic? Didn’t the most recent polls on the subject put the preferential voting estimate anywhere from 55% to 59% ALP, with the same approximate approval ratings for the incumbent PM? Do keep up.

It must be quite a sweatshop trying to get those Sky / Advance Australia talking points out, or wherever you source your fatuities.

Any comments on the early coal plant closure? Ones that make any sort of sense, I mean.

But Axon, Albo had such a triumphant and successful overseas trip. He charmed an empty UN chamber with his brilliant $1.3 trillion unachievable climate policy. He wowed Prince Charles by discussing a Republic, he preached to the UK Labour faithful and even found time for a selfie with Donny 🤳

How is it possible that eight out of 100 Aussies thought less of him as a result ? 🤔

As for the Gladstone power plant, well don’t get too excited Axon, it’s a maybe. But it sounds like you’d welcome all the job losses in the local aluminium and cement industries. Not very nice there buddy.

“his brilliant $1.3 trillion unachievable climate policy”…you don’t even bother parsing the nonsensical talking points before regurgitating them…$1.3 trillion…lol ok.

“How is it possible that eight out of 100 Aussies thought less of him as a result ? 🤔”

Oh no, bahahahahaha, Pengold making simplistic mathematical errors again.

Havent you learnt yet not to play with percentages (or actually go anywhere near numbers) after your previous embarrassments.

8.

😂😂😂😂👨‍🦯👨‍🦯👨‍🦯

As sheer absurdity goes, this is one of Penfold’s funniest.

Albanese lives rent-free in his head.

And you were doing so well to mount an actual argument Axon. Now reverted back to silliness. Oh well.

Nice of you to admit by implication I was right, Penfold.

Don’t worry Pengold,
No one will ever accuse you of reverting to silliness, its your permanent setting.

8 😂

It’s even simpler than that thank goodness Axon, I told you earlier how correct you were on quoting the Essential poll. But sadly you’ve strayed back into that familiar territory occupied by a couple of your mates – the nothingness.

Btw it looks like Chris is going to disappoint us, no article about the poll. 😪

The liberals aren’t going to “make hay” with this because it’s a nothing burger. Your average Aussie doesn’t give a rats.

“and, without naming them, attempts to delegitimise the likes of Reform UK, MAGA and their counterparts in other countries, including in Australia by presenting them as outside the acceptable bounds of “democracy” (as defined by Albanese, of course)”

Explain to me what’s inbounds about authoritarian white nationalism?

The mental gymnastics taken for views like this must be exhausting. But well done from dribbling in some ‘woke’ references into your ramblings – fits it well.

Go and take some tablets and have a good lie down.

None of that is true in the real world.

But anything to say about actual avowed Neo-Nazis being involved with the organisation and leading the March “for” Australia…with many of these people leading racist, white supremist chants and some even engaging with alleged assaults on peaceful indigenous women and elderly folk Stephen?

That’s something that happened in the real word for which this documentary evidence. Any thoughts at all?

Lots of decent people marched too just like lots of decent people marched for Palestine partially organised by a bunch of racists!
