*The Right want to take us back to the past*

/The Tony Tonkin Show, 6 Jun 2026/ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn-L-htgdSk>

"The right of politics wants us to return us to a time when our rights
were taken from us. We must work so that this never happens."
~~~~ ~~~~

I do have some tolerance for people who suffer from redcurrant episodes
of nostalgia. That kind of mental affliction comes with age to most
people and it does not have to be anything more then simply a benign
state of mind over an enjoyably smoothing pint of ale in a relaxing pub.

However, what the political far right proposes to do now is not only to reminisce about the (allegedly) 'good ol' days, but instead to
completely erase all the social advances human society has made ever
since the 1800s and return us into a fully repressive brutal form of capitalism where the wealthy upper class was able to do with everyone
else whatever abomination they wanted to do to please their own greedy
bastard and quite perverted personal tastes.

The question is are we prepared to let them actually do this?

Albanese Labor Federal politician!

Sport Minister Anika Wells has charged taxpayers up to $337 for single
Comcar rides as short as 3km around Canberra, repeatedly blaming
aunexpected delaysA for the inflated costs.Earlier this year, Ms Wells
was famously ordered to repay more than $10,000 after an audit found
she breached taxpayer-funded travel rules four times, including for business-class flights for her husband to the AFL Grand Final, and family-related travel.my feedback

Another snout and trotters in trough, fill of tax payers money!
Australia now has one of the largest public-sector workforces per
capita globally

Mining generated 21% of the economy's growth over that decade.
Unproductive tax payers,
NGO's, welfare, government departments
Productive taxpayers,
profit taking private enterprise
The problem with Unproductive tax payers, is that governments
eventually run out of Productive taxpayers money

It is clear the non-government sector of the economy, the private
sector, is in contraction and you could then argue it is in recession!
There is a big transfer between the private sector and the public
sector at the moment. The private sector is shedding jobs to the
public sector, which is picking up jobs. But are they the productive
jobs we want?

The Institute of Public Affairs reported federal climate/net-zero
spending rose 15-fold over a decade, from $600 million to ~$9 billion
annually, calling it "disastrous" and saying it's making Australians
poorer

Our Australian commonwealth has survived numerous recessions, one
major depression, and two world wars.
Doubt if it will survive under a Albanese Labor Government.

Albanese...

Albanese Derangement Syndrome reply!
Have fuck all to do with the discussion topic I raised, even if you so obsessively always insert your fake link to somehow "hide"(?) the
correct one. :-P

The Institute of Public Affairs...

... is one of the worst offender rightard dogmas brewing "think tanks"
in OZ. Yes, they indeed advocate to time-warp OZ back to at least a
couple centuries into the fucking ugly brutal capitalist past where no
one gave a shit about any toxic pollution that was ruining the health of
the work slave under-classes,

Back with you, Petz dear, to your Goon Bag fairies filled rabbit hole to continue meditating over your misfortunes in being stuck with
Microslop's spyware OS.

Unproductive tax payers,

Mindless bullshit with all of hospitals, aged care, education
law enforcement

Productive taxpayers,
profit taking private enterprise

The problem with Unproductive tax payers, is that governments
eventually run out of Productive taxpayers money

More of your mindless bullshit, most obviously with Norway

It is clear the non-government sector of the economy, the private
sector, is in contraction

Bullsshit it is, and you just proved it isnt with mining

and you could then argue it is in recession!

Only fools would claim that

There is a big transfer between the private sector and the public
sector at the moment.

Bullshit

The private sector is shedding jobs to the public sector,

Bullshit

which is picking up jobs. But are they the productive jobs we want?

Yep, most obviously with the NDIS

When I added

The interpretation of this workforce size often depends on whether the
focus is on the administrative footprint or the vital social services
Australia delivers.

GROK agreed
Yes, that's a fair and important nuance. The size of Australia's
public sector workforce (~2.6 million in mid-2025, or ~17.7% of total employment) is best understood by looking at what these roles actually
do, rather than just the headline total.

***Australia now has one of the largest public-sector workforces per

Public Sector Expansion
Public sector employment jumped from 12.5% to 17.9% of the workforce (2014-2024)

82.1% of new jobs post-Covid were in the public sector (August
2022-2024)

Commonwealth public service employees grew by 39,000+ under Albanese
(June 2022-2025)

***Australia now has one of the largest public-sector workforces per

Private Sector Weakness
Manufacturing and professional services have fallen into technical
recession

Private business investment slowed from 5.5% to 1.8% annual growth
(lowest since pandemic)

Non-mining business investment is at record lows

GDP growth masks continuing private sector weakness despite headline improvements

Justice may well be nigh. https://propertyupdate.com.au/this-weekends-auction-results-what-happened-in-sydney-melbourne-brisbane-adelaide-canberra/

The chart of property-auction clearance rates have breached a support

rushes to sell BEFORE prices fall still further? Yes gentle reader,
justice delayed is still justice, and all the sweeter for it.
This sort of sell-off is routine in the stockmarket and soon we'll see
it in property, with land tax and umpteen govt regulations helping it
all along.
