An Australian woman has exposed her frustrations with the Albanian government as polls show the Labor Party and the Prime Minister are increasingly out of favor with voters.
Jill Fisher, from Epping in Sydney’s northwest, took issue with an opinion piece in The Daily Telegraph that said many first-term governments were plagued by errors, including those later considered a success, such as the Howard government.
The column, written by Joe Hildebrand, argued that new governments have a pattern: a honeymoon period, an attempt to build a legacy, followed by “the wheels falling off” and then a reckoning in which governments durables learned from their mistakes.
But Ms Fisher wrote in a response letter: “What nonsense… If the Albanian government had deliberately set an agenda to bring Australia to its knees, it could not have been more successful.”
“It is necessary to expel these who have no hope,” he said.
Anthony Albanese’s government (pictured with partner Jodie Haydon) has come under fire from one voter who said they had failed to convey what they stand for and how they can achieve it.
The Albanese government was elected at the 2022 federal election on a wave of enthusiasm to improve the lives of ordinary Australians who had endured two of the most difficult years in decades thanks to the Covid pandemic.
But that initial optimism gave way to disappointment as the government appeared to juggle one mistake after another, from the failed Voice to Parliament campaign to the cost of living delay and housing crises, until being caught off guard. for liberation. of immigrants detained through a Superior Court ruling.
Ms Fisher said she disagreed with the idea that ministers were “wet behind the ears” policymakers who were finding their feet after almost a decade in the Opposition.
“This government is led by experienced politicians who have been in parliament for decades and who, by now, should have had enough time to convey what they stand for and how they can achieve it.”
Even Anthony Albanese’s promise to bring greater transparency to parliament, after criticizing former Prime Minister Scott Morrison for secretly appointing himself to head several departments, has fallen by the wayside.
Labor attempted to rush through extraordinary immigration powers in Parliament last week, with almost no debate or scrutiny, in response to another High Court ruling expected later this year.
The bills, which were blocked in the Senate, could allow him to impose a blanket travel ban on countries that do not accept deportees.
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles and Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil have faced significant scrutiny since attempting to push through the bill.
“I’m a grassroots Australian,” Ms Fisher said.
‘I want to support our economy, not others… I want our land managed by farmers and ranchers not to be destroyed by imported wind farms and solar panels, the production, operation and disposal of which are environmental disasters.
‘I want Australian values of togetherness to be celebrated… I want an education system that promotes pride in a country where so many risk their lives… I want a government that protects Australians from the stateless criminals roaming our streets .
‘I want my children to be able to afford or even rent a house in their own country without being affected by unmanageable immigration and foreign investment.
“What I want most is for our federal politicians to have less sycophantic deference to foreign entities that don’t pay taxes and more to grassroots Australians who do.”
It seems Mrs. Fisher is not alone.
A national Essential poll, conducted from March 20 to 24 from a sample of 1,150, gave the Coalition a lead of 50 to 44, including undecideds, a reversal of Labour’s 48 to 47 lead from last fortnight .
The primary votes were 36 per cent Coalition (down one), 29 per cent Labor (down three), 13 per cent Greens (steady), 7 per cent One Nation (down one), 3 per cent UAP (up one), 7 percent percent for everyone else (one point less) and 6 percent undecided (one point more).
Excluding the undecided, this poll would give 53 to 47 votes in favor of the Coalition.
It is easily the worst poll of this term for the Labor Party.
Political polls last week showed a trend against the Labor Party after a series of debacles.
Weak flows towards Labor based on the preferences assigned by respondents partly explain this result: analyst Kevin Bonham’s estimate, using 2022 electoral preference flows, places the Coalition with a lead of approximately 50.5 -49.5.
The Essential poll was probably too favorable for the Coalition, but Newspoll gave Labor its second-worst result this term: a 51-49 lead.
In the four federal polls last week, only Resolve had an improvement for the Labor Party since they last polled.
Even in that poll, Anthony Albanese’s net approval rating dropped five points, with 49 percent giving him a bad rating and 38 percent giving him a good rating.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s net approval rating improved two points, but he is still behind Albanese as the preferred prime minister between the two.
