Labor has repaid debt with two straight surpluses, despite adverse conditions. The data provides this stark warning: Never let the Coalition near levers of power again while it retains any of the incompetent fools in office last time. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Budget coverage proves the mainstream media do not report the truth. They are craven political players who lie routinely to advance the incompetent and corrupt Coalition parties so the mega-rich gain at the expense of the majority. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

The UK's economy performed best relative to its own history and comparable nations under PM Tony Blair. So Labour should win the election. If history repeats, Starmer will lift the economy and the media will conceal this with its lies. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

24,414 Australians died, at the rate of 937 per million. The USA copped 1.2 million deaths, at 3,642 p.m. Trump ended incoming flights too late, failed to quarantine travellers, spread racist conspiracy theories and pushed crazy fixes. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Queenslanders have no clue how well Miles & co are managing the economy because they are bashed over the head daily with negative “stories” of hardship and failure. As the October poll looms, the deceptions are getting more insidious. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Eight news reports damaging to the Liberal Party mention the party name once in the text but never in the headings. In contrast, eight critical Labor Party stories name the party 98 times in the text and eight times in the headings. independentaustralia.net/business/busin… via @IndependentAus

Claims of a ‘cost of living crisis’ are plain wrong. Figures show another surge in Australians buying luxuries. Yes, some folks are struggling. But fewer than ever. More people are free of financial woes and they are richer than ever. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

News Corp hacks seem oblivious to the craven hypocrisy of condemning an Australian citizen who pled guilty to one charge - while campaigning vigorously for Donald Trump to return as US president after 34 criminal convictions by a jury. independentaustralia.net/business/busin… via @IndependentAus

Trump-inspired political murders almost certainly contributed to the life expectancy slump since 2015. Is there another explanation? The US is the only OECD member whose longevity peaked in 2014, just before Trump first urged violence. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Australians are all better off now Albo has fixed regional relations damaged by nine years of Coalition incompetence, corruption and arrogance. With enhanced trade has come an economy with more jobs, stronger growth and higher incomes. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Rational analysis confirms Trump cannot win a second term. He lost in 2020 by 7 million votes, so must secure that number in November. His criminal convictions have surely alienated more voters than he has won. But will reason prevail? independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

The news media say Labor caused the recent surge in insolvencies. They are craven liars. The real reason for the rise is the ATO clawing back unpaid tax, wages and super which the corrupt Coalition allowed thousands of shonks to evade. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Retail sales show the % of all purchases spent on takeaway food, dining out and cosmetics has reached new highs. So while many folks are still struggling, the number is lower now than ever. Who manages the economy makes a difference. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Labor’s 1985 decision to start the Sports Commission has been validated. Australia has been in the top 10 on gold medals since 1988. In those 8 Olympiads, Aussies collected 332 medals, nearly 3 times the tally at the 8 previous games. independentaustralia.net/life/life-disp… via @IndependentAus

An effective monitor would show each month the worst 25 offending articles - listing 300 or so each year. This would reveal the lying journos and the outlets to be boycotted. So far in 2024, the Press Council has outed just 5 stories. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

We would expect satisfaction to plummet with the constant barrage of media lies about the cost of living crisis. The results bear this out. Material fortunes have improved greatly since 2022, but overall life satisfaction has declined. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Noted biblical scholar Megyn Kelly has alerted the world to a profound revelation from God. Her exposition of the Bible text Ephesians 6:11 was inspired by discovering Donald Trump’s shooting by a sniper at a rally last month happened at 6:11 pm. dailykos.com/stories/2024/8…

Jobs growth helped PJ Keating and W Swan win finance ministers of the year in 1984 and 2011. Chalmers beats them both, with jobs for 879,000 more citizens, up an unprecedented 6.5%. Wages rose more than inflation for the 3rd quarter. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

The unhinged diatribe from the craven liars at ABC News claimed “exceptional weakness in consumer spending” in the June quarter. Really? Actual spending was the 2nd highest in history and 0.17% below the highest – in the March quarter. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus

Independent Australia has long challenged media claims that Albo is ‘crippling the construction industry’. We were a lone voice. Now, with all-time high construction profits, we don’t like to say “Told you so” but ... Wait, yes we do. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit… via @IndependentAus
