Commanding the Narrative Update #54
ALBANESE FAILS THE COUNTRY - While the Right is Distracted by Itself
Over the past few weeks I have noticed that the focus of Commanding the Narrative has been on the rise of One Nation and the self-destruction of the Liberal Party.
Scrolling through the CtN archives gives you that clear indication, but it is also evident if you follow major news outlets, such as Sky News' YouTube page - which seem obsessed about talking about One Nation's rise.
I have also noticed hostilities towards One Nation intensifying as their support grows. The Liberal Party's social media has begun to desperately attack One Nation, while there is sheer hostility directed towards them by Gerard Rennick and People First. Even Family First have begun to jump on the bandwagon.
What I have realised is that the right has been distracted from targeting the real problem in this country - Labor Governments, both State and Federal.
Particularly, the Albanese Government.
Albanese is not a leader. He resembles a child, way out of his depth, rather than the leader this country deserves.
His National Address last week was a stark showcase of not only his vanity, but his lack of substance.
More alarming though, is the consequences of his bad Government that are now manifesting in the lives of everyday Australians.
Inflation is uncontrollable, fueled by the Government's reckless spending, with home owners inflicted with the double-whammy of higher interest rates as a result. The flow on from that is even higher rents.
Australians have experienced the steepest decline in disposable incomes anywhere in the developed World, further adding to the economic pain.
Albanese broke his promise of a reduction in power bills by $275 and instead we have seen electricity prices increase as Blackout Bowen recklessly carpets our precious Australian landscape and surrounding communities with solar panels, wind turbines and high-voltage transmission lines.
We have seen an expenses scandal involving ministerial travel entitlements - with the government twice delaying a review, the exposure of an ISIS brides cover-up - ministers knew months earlier but stayed silent, and the mishandling of a major childcare sexual abuse case that caught senior ministers unaware.
Then there was the Bondi terror attack which exposed Albanese for what he really is - weak, cowardly and ineffectual.
Now there is fuel security. We should have AT LEAST 90-days worth of fuel in this country - but the politicians cannot even manage that.
Albanese's response is typical Labor - throw handouts left, right and centre, instead of addressing the root cause - we should be protecting our fuel security by holding more in reserve, while at the same time boosting onshore refineries and exploring our own reserves.
Albanese has had an easy ride through his term in Government, with the Liberal opposition being non-existent. It is time for the adults on the right-side of politics to stop bickering with themselves and instead begin to dismantle Labor's destructive grip on power in Australia.
Until next time, stay active, stay happy and never back down!
Many thanks,
Steven Tripp
Commanding the Narrative - ONE NATION – THE HYPE IS REAL – What Does Their Success Mean for Australia? - CtN128:
The South Australian State election result was a huge success for One Nation - but unfortunately that is the silver lining. The result saw the destruction of the Liberal vote and the re-election of the Malinauskas Labor Government.
ABG Vice-President and host of Faith, Culture, Politics, Mark Neugebauer joined me to break it all down.

ALBANESE FAILS THE COUNTRY - While the Liberals Are Hellbent on Self-Destruction - CtN129:
Sam Buono and Richard Storch were back on the show to discuss the preselection turmoil of Moira Deeming and the Liberal Party.
More importantly, we focused on the many failures of the Labor Party and the lack of leadership by Anthony Albanese. I really enjoyed listening back to this one, I hope you do too.
