How many "worsts" can you have?

April 30, 2026

I’ve got four contenders for “Worst Australian PM”.

• Howard - turned us into a small, narrow-minded nation, promoting xenophobia, racism, and survival of the especially well-off fittest.
• Abbot - the liar, naysayer, carbon price eliminating misogynist.
• Morrison - liar extraordinaire, sovereignty abandoning moron, saddled us with wealth degradation and forever dependency by shackling us to the US via AUKUS.

And now I have a 4th …

• Albanese - squandering a massive majority by ignoring the wishes of the people - not reviewing AUKUS; tinkering at the edges of tax reform; sucking up to the deranged US president at every turn; ignoring climate change; pandering to fossil fuel and gambling lobbies; and the icing on the cake - making innocent NDIS clients pay for his financial mismanagement … which can “be a thing” even if Jim Chalmers tells us he’s balancing the books.

As the majority has shown, we see an ethical dimension to how and where Australia raises funds and disperses them. We care about the planet and the miseries of increasing wealth inequality.

I, for one, cannot wait to see the back of Albanese. That day can’t come soon enough.
