The Brown Note

I love calling election results a long way out and have a strong track record of getting it right, this one though is a very risky pick, as all prevailing wisdom says Labor will lose in November. They've been in power too long, have lost an iconic leader and the press have trashed them for years. Here's why I'm still picking them for an unlikely win.

After a lifetime of falling upwards and hanging out with CEO's, Karl is now reborn as a working class hero who tells it like it is, or something.

FIFA has tried for years to ruin football by monetising every last thing they can, but material changes to Football are unacceptable. The much derided "hydration" TV advert breaks split the two half game into four quarters. Now we are getting into important games - this will have an unprecedented impact on play.

He isn't knee-jerk, doesn't chase the 24hr news cycle, isn't afraid of his own shadow, always plays the long game, has superb timing and lets the world catch up to him. I have faith he is waiting to destroy AUKUS at the right moment.

The world's least cool and most cringe inducing man, Elon Musk, is brilliant at selling shares in companies that struggle to make profits. Even compared to Tesla, SpaceX is a doozy worthy of a monorail salesman. Never made a profit, loses billions, never going to make a profit, but worth a trillion dollars. For some reason.

With Belfast the third Reform UK riots in recent years and Australia's corporate news media desperate for it to happen in Australia, a look at a story as old as time. How the wealthy elite deflect attention from them screwing every one else over, by co-opting and astro-turfing grass roots rage and aiming it at brown people.

FIFA have been destroying football from within for years and have reached a half-time show style apex with this insanely, punitively expensive World Cup. Meanwhile the attention seeking narcissist in chief, Trump will seek to plaster himself all over every inch of it and the most multicultural sports fans on earth can deal with even getting into the country.

Ignore every opinion poll not three months out from an election and you will instantly know more about politics or who will win the next election. Opinion pollsters are businesses that cannot say the poll is the same for three years straight, no one would buy it, they have to provide intrigue every day and suit clickable narratives, like a right wing populist is surging in the polls etc. Same for...

Australian PM Anthony Albanese continues to amaze me with his political intelligence. He and his treasurer have managed to take on the holy sacrament of actual fair economic reform, that has destroyed and terrified Labor for so many years and won. The timing - with zero effective opposition, is perfection. Finally John Howard's way of life destroying era of tax breaks to help those who already had...

A 68 year old man in Sydney has been charge with wearing a swastika t-shirt, in front of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism. In the past this would have been a Neo-Nazi, but this seems to have (unconfirmed but more likely) been a Palestinian supporter. Given the supporters of Israel are going to great extremes to re-define this once sacrosanct word to mean any criticism of Israeli policies, mi...

After the atrocious but expected Labour performance in the recent council elections, laid bare even the Labour voter's disdain for this feckless, spineless, judgementaly challenged faux Tory Blairite Zionist, he is toast. But as he and his gang expelled all true Labour people from the party, he's left us with no one not like him to replace him.

Brexit architect Nigel Farage's merry band of posh Tory working class hero grifters have won a stunning victory in the UK's local council elections. What actually happened and what it all means.

Queen Pauline wins and its a real threat to Labor how they keep taking votes from the Liberal party. For some reason. A big weekend for the populist right, what with Reform UK's massive success in the local elections there, but the two scenarios are very different.

It never ceases to amaze me how entire events will destroy themselves willingly for the Israel lobby. Even with five member nations boycotting the competition, they still wont budge on Israel's participation, and it's all anyone will talk about - alongside the industrial scale cheating that could likely see them win it this time.

Well there are many reasons, but one deal breaker, which for many left or progressive voters is a Rubicon they will no longer cross.

Every. Single. Day.

The current catastrophic Iran war is certainly for Israel, and for the last thirty years America's wars massively focused on the Middle East but were they all fought for Israel? Well, no, but there is an astonishing uptick in turning that into a yes.

Everyone's favorite onward Christian MAGA, West Australian MP Andrew Hastie, was all set to be the most blindly Trumpy - and religious - Liberal party leader yet, but since Angus Taylor took that role, he has behaved bizarrely against type. Standing up for a hate speech bill that cost him the populist right, strongly opposing the war in Iran and even telling conservatives to leave Neo-liberalism b...

After decades of peddling influence from the shadows, the events post the October 7th massacre have thrust the Israel lobby into the spotlight. And while they still wield enormous - and illegal - power over Western governments and news media, they have lost the third and most important component forever - the public.

And other stories.

Despite the best efforts of our media and the world's bot farms, Pauline Hanson and One Nation have so far failed to win a single seat in South Australia, whilst Labor posted an all time record victory. However they try to spin it, they touted this as One Nation becoming the opposition party and they couldn't even beat four seats. In the famous word of Colonel Kilgore - BOTS DON'T VOTE

Though Australia hasn't joined the illegal Israeli/American war with Iran, they are getting perilously close, whilst paying lip service to the aggressors talking points. Joining this maniacal yet-another Middle-Eastern war is a red line for most Labor voters - do so and I will never vote for you again.

A round up of everything at this stage in this wildly misreported and misrepresented, 100% illegal war of aggression from Israel and their client state, the USA. How things are going much worse than reported and how that will open the door for the use of nuclear weapons from Israel.

Now that the Australian Liberal Party has got rid of its woman problem, by ousting Sussan Ley (see this channel a year ago for that prediction...) they are free to keep churning through their mighty talent-puddle of leaders. Now we are down to 4th tier Angus Taylor, who for some reason resembles a naive baby foal. Albo will be in hysterics. #WellDoneAngus

How do you brand yourselves as maverick outsiders to the two party system, when all your MP's are ex-Conservative party members?
