The Front Dore

THE FRONT DORE: Our PM pulled out all the right moves to get the call-up for national duty, looks pretty snazzy in the green and gold tracksuit, but can’t quite nail the routine on the big stage.

Meet Clementine Ford, an online persona so absurdly asinine she simply must be a construct of AI.

THE FRONT DORE: Anthony Albanese’s reaction to a political cartoon depicting him in Y-fronts has exposed a lot more than our PM would have liked.

THE FRONT DORE: Australians haven’t had anything to get worked up about, good or bad, since, well, Kevin 07. We’ve been in a slow spiral since his over-amped rise and untimely demise.

THE FRONT DORE: He is not the first president or candidate to face an assassination attempt. But Donald Trump is the first in the social media age. There is a tragic inevitability to this attempted murder.

THE FRONT DORE: For modern Labor, diversity and inclusivity are everything. So long as you agree to conform.

THE FRONT DORE: On his terms, Albanese can be fire. Attacking Greens in Parliament, smashing young journalists, scorching Peter Dutton. But unscripted, and out of his comfort zone, he is a gibberer.

THE FRONT DORE: Peter Costello has always had a problem with the media, as well as a lofty opinion of his own talent. This ugly incident involving a journalist should come as no surprise.

THE FRONT DORE: Let’s stop pretending the ABC’s political coverage, led by Laura Tingle, is anything other than what it is. A taxpayer-funded media organisation that promotes one side of politics.

THE FRONT DORE: Harley Reid is a 19-year-old prodigy and is the only thing anyone in football wants to talk about. And yet, so many want everyone else to stop talking about him.

THE FRONT DORE: In the ‘arrogant billionaire’, Anthony Albanese and his ministers have found convenient scapegoat to blame for just about everything.

THE FRONT DORE: We needed our PM to help make sense of this week’s shocking events, to lead us in mourning, to guide us through the despair, to lift us out of the sadness, to reassure us. We got Albo instead.

THE FRONT DORE: The long-awaited final instalment of our favourite new courtroom serial Justice Michael Lee TV is almost upon us. Spoiler alert: No one will emerge a winner.

THE FRONT DORE: Imagine applying the same test Janet Albrechtsen suggests for our new governor-general to every politician ever to be named treasurer. None of them would be qualified.

Albanese has let inexperienced and inept ministers run riot, flailing on politics and frolicking on policy. The PM thinks his front bench is doing great. The rest of Australia thinks they’re idiots.
