Dear John,
As 2023 comes to a close, Australians have well and truly
earned a holiday.
In politics, it’s been a busy year which was dominated by the
debate over introducing an indigenous voice to Parliament in the
Constitution.
The referendum, which is estimated to have cost taxpayers
$450 million, divided Australia when much more important issues
deserved greater priority.
The overwhelming ‘no’ vote on 14 October signalled the start
of a bad time for the Albanese Labor government. Its failure to
anticipate High Court decisions saw the release of at least 140
dangerous criminals into the community including murderers and sex
offenders. People smugglers also got the signal that Labor was weak on
border control, with a boat reaching the Australian mainland in
November.
The critical issues facing most Australians every day
received some attention, but it became clear Labor had no real plan or
intention to address the housing and rental crisis, or the rising
costs of living and doing business. Its policies are having the
opposite effect, making things worse.
Australians are wising up to Anthony Albanese, with polls
showing diminished support for the Labor government about halfway
through its term.
One Nation will carry the fight to Labor’s door in 2024,
standing up for Australians’ freedoms on key issues like digital
identification and the ‘misinformation and disinformation’ bill,
standing for equality in areas like indigenous relations and family
law, and always fighting to protect the values that made this country
great.
We wish all our members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
