Trump Wins: Now for Australia’s moment of reflection
Donald Trump won.
As he prepares his administration, his success signals a political reality that Australia cannot ignore.
Our own federal election is coming, and it is increasingly clear that Labor, the Greens and the Teals are ignoring ordinary Australians.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the US President “scares the shit” out of him.
Greens leader Adam Bandt is feeling “justifiable terror”. at the conservative groundswell.
The Teals are scrambling to keep up.
Their anxiety is perhaps understandable, given Trump’s victory demonstrates that mainstream movements are gaining unstoppable momentum, driven by frustration with a ruling elite that is detached from real-life concerns.
Trump’s promise was straightforward: to save and restore the country for ordinary people. A message of pride, freedom, and prosperity that clearly resonated with millions.
Here in Australia, we’re witnessing a similar longing for change.
Australians are tired of the same old progressive ideologies pushed by the same old elites and activists.
The concerns of mainstream Australians are clear, and they’re growing deeper:
- Cost of Living and Inflation: The rising cost of living is a daily strain on families. From groceries to housing, Australians are struggling to make ends meet. Wages remain stagnant while prices soar, and Labor’s policies are all talk with no real relief.
- Unchecked Immigration: Labor’s open-door policies have brought waves of immigration amid a housing crisis. Australians are asking, who benefits? It’s not the communities struggling with costly housing, overcrowded schools, traffic jams, and overstretched hospitals.
- Defence and National Security: Australians have always valued a strong defence yet under this government, essential defence funding is overshadowed by woke pet projects. Are we prepared to defend ourselves if the need arises?
- Freedom of Speech: Free speech is under attack. With the recent second reading of the Misinformation Bill, Australians fear that legitimate discussion will be silenced, and honest dialogue stifled.
- Crime and Security: Families are increasingly worried about their safety. Crime rates are climbing, and government responses feel indifferent or inadequate, leaving Australians to wonder, who will keep us safe?
- Energy and Renewables: The rapid and reckless shift to renewables has destabilized our energy sector. Coal and gas are being forcibly phased out, leading to soaring energy prices. Reliable, affordable energy is a necessity, yet Australians face rising bills and potential power outages.
These concerns are real.
But how do the political elites and their activist allies respond?
Australians who question their agenda are belittled and painted as obstacles to “progress”.
As Trump asked at his rallies, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”
Australians, too, must reflect on their current situation.
Are we truly better off under this government? I say no.
The upcoming election is an opportunity for everyday Australians to push back against those who are failing to represent them.
It’s our chance to reassert common sense, demand accountability, and restore the values of freedom, security, and prosperity.
This election is more than a choice between parties, it is a referendum on the future of our nation.
