Commanding the Narrative - Newsletter 42 - Leaps & Bounds: Australians for Better Government Picks Up Steam

It has been a busy week as Australians for Better Government picks up steam.

I was interviewed by the Daily Australian, Crazzfiles, and 102.1fm Donnybrook radio speaking about ABG - see below for links.

A lot of interest is also gaining for our upcoming event on the Gold Coast in August, with people buying tickets every day - get your tickets here.

ARTICLE: LABOR’S ‘WIN FOR THE AGES’

Labor’s win at the 2025 Federal election was a ‘win for the ages’ as declared by the Guardian and a ‘landslide victory’ by many other media outlets.

Remarkably, Labor increased its representation in Parliament, which is opposite to all first-term Governments of the past 50 years.  

Labor won 94 of 150 seats in the House of Representatives, or 62.7%; the highest percentage since 1996.

Do you remember the John Howard era? The era of sound economic management and stable leadership.

Love him or hate him, John Howard was a man of conviction. In 1998, he took the GST to an election, despite it being deeply unpopular. But he believed it would benefit the Nation. More importantly, he relentlessly sold it to voters.

The election is finally over and for a lot of you, you deserve a well earned break.

It certainly was not the result many of us were hoping for, with few silver linings. Instead of good people elected, the silver linings were the bad apples who lost their seats.

Unfortunately, with Albanese and Dutton to choose from, Australia is sliding down a continued path of stale, unimaginative leadership, while America has been revitalised under President Trump.

In particular, the Coalition should be learning from Trump’s success. Unfortunately, the current Liberal Party is not fit for purpose. They are a far cry from the ‘We Believe’ statement and Peter Dutton is equally as far away from jumping on the Trump train.
