The major parties are failing us, and Angry Anderson is calling it out. With an election looming, he says Australians must look past media noise and political games to protect our future.
Australians face the most important election in our nation’s history.
Meanwhile, the Labor-Greens-Teal gambits gamble away the future of Australia in a performance one would be right to call the Woke Olympics.
On the flipside, the LNP are a no-show. They’re too busy tiptoeing around Australia’s left-leaning — “pandemic of the unvaccinated” — pro-censorship legacy media, fearing that Peter Dutton might be accused of following Donald Trump.
This asinine anxiety-avoidance is likely to cost a timid and softly spoken LNP lineup the election.
So far, the race for high office in Canberra has been about elected politicians seeking safe re-election, not about keeping Australians safe.
The evidence for this doesn’t get any more blatant than the major parties outbidding each other on government spending. This splash of cash is something taxpayers, charities, and the most vulnerable who depend on their generosity can ill afford.
Add here Anthony “Al-Biden” Albanese telling voters, “Australia has the resources the world needs for the future.”
He should have asserted, “Australia has the resources we need to secure Australia’s future.”
Instead, Albo is selling Labor’s globalist credentials on the world stage, proving what I’ve long argued: the modern Australian Labor Party is about serving its own self-interests, not the interests of the Australian people.
Angry Anderson Weighs In
Eager to keep up, the LNP tripped over itself by reprimanding two of its brightest stars. Someone in the LNP HQ figured that censoring Jacinta Price’s “make Australia great again” comments would look appealing.
It didn’t.
Similarly, those same advisors seemed to think that chastening Andrew Hastie over not putting women in frontline infantry combat roles would advance the LNP’s chances.
It hasn’t.
As Aussie Rock icon and Rose Tattoo frontman Gary ‘Angry’ Anderson, has suggested, Australia cannot survive with the current major parties being so aligned.
“My view is they have both been compromised, in different ways, but compromised nonetheless,” he said.
“Both major parties have failed us time and time again in recent years,” Angry added. “Both play the game pretty much the same way as each other.”
He weighed in on the election in an April 22 blog post, advising voters to consider the bigger picture.
Bureaucrats, Angry argued, “rely on us being focused on the small things.” But he hastened to add that this election is so important that we need to look beyond that to see what “there is to see!”
A self-described conservative, the punk rock stalwart called for “rusted on voters, in both camps, to do their own thinking.”
“Stop relying on the mainstream media, and do your own research,” he explained. “All mainstream press of any kind will and do lie.”
Apt Advice From Angry Anderson
From a two-time National Party candidate to a member of the Australian Liberty Alliance, and becoming an increasingly informed voter, Angry said, “I may have changed my views from time to time, but I have never compromised my morals to cater to anyone.”
Asking Australian voters to do the same, he added, “As Anzac Day approaches, it’s timely to ask this question: will we stand idly by and allow ‘them’ to take what is sacred away from us?”
“Or do we answer the call from our hearts and say, No?”
In a follow-up piece, Angry added, “This election has the potential to build or destroy our lives for the immediate, our country as we know it and the future of our children.”
“We either unite and stand or become weakened by division and fall.”
Talking with Fred Pawle earlier this month, Angry quipped that for the most part, Australia’s “politicians don’t solve problems, they benefit from playing football with them.”
In other words, we’re either bound for glory or a world of pain.
“Nice boys don’t play rock n’ roll,” he said.
Indeed, Dutton and the LNP need a new anthem, or they will be beaten.
