DON’T FORGET THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO SELL US OUT AT POLL

-

REGIONAL Australia should never forget the inner-city sneers that got louder as election night rolled on. As the results became clear that the government would be returned, the collective whine from the so-called woke left was embarrassi­ng.

From claims that Australian­s are “dumb, mean-spirited and greedy” to 20-something toddlers saying we should kick Queensland out of Australia, the left didn’t just have a bad night, they showed us all what’s really behind their agenda. They want the whole country to be a giant university campus or local council area that bans Australia Day.

Luckily for the rest of us in the real world the election showed, from the north of Queensland to Tasmania, that normal people love this country and won’t cop the selfare loathing that seems to beset the left.

In their millions, people said the role of government is to take care of the big stuff and let us live our lives. Let us plan for our retirement the way that we want to, take care of our environmen­t without bankruptin­g the country and leave industries like mining alone.

Never forget the media who got this election wrong. They live not just in an inner-city bubble, but they make no effort to understand or respect the fundamenta­l decency of outer suburban and regional people.

They made a fatal mistake of thinking that because people from the north, central and southeast Queensland voted for samesex marriage that somehow, they also signed up to the woke revolution movement that is obsessed with dividing us into “what” we rather than “who” we are.

The truth is that Australian­s are a loving bunch who want to be left alone by big government. They don’t want to be told by bureaucrat­s in Brisbane how to manage their land and they don’t want idiots in Melbourne deciding what the difference is between free speech and hate speech.

Also, I hope you never forget the politician­s who pushed this crazy agenda at the 2019 election. They will try to pretend Shorten made them do it, but they went along and cheered for it. They didn’t care about your power bills. They didn’t care who lost their job so they could impress the UN, and they thought the people who built a life that didn’t need the pension were a piggy bank for their ideas. These leopards may claim to change their spots in the coming years, but don’t let them get away with it.

While Labor spent the week pretending it was the salesman, not the product, the Prime Minister got back to work. He woke up in Tasmania on election day and by week’s end was in Cloncurry in the north checking in on rebuilding efforts after February’s devastatin­g floods.

This bloke is the real deal, he has earnt the support Australia has given him to lead the nation over the next three years.

The quiet Australian­s won big, now we can get on with our lives.
