It’s fair to say that the country is divided about the Ben Roberts-Smith saga but what is yet to appear is the person or group of people that decided it was time Big Ben went to jail. Someone, somewhere at some point decided it was time for Roberts-Smith to enter the criminal system, but I suspect we will never know…
Back in the land of Barbie, Ken’s replacement is clearing house. New portfolios for the red blooded loyalists and back bench seats for those who plan to abandon ship in November, but I didn’t realise that kindergarten kids could become MP’s!
With Trump basically acting like a deranged war lord there is talk out of the US that the could 25th amendment could be enacted. It would mean that JD Vance becomes President and that the Congress would have to agree with removing Trump from office but gees things haven’t been this bad since tricky dicky!
Even though I had some sympathy for Grace Tame for a while, her now unhinged antics and appearances at Palestine protests has me saying goodbye and good luck. Further to her fall from grace, for want of a better word, her foundation aimed at helping sexual abuse victims is to close. As much as Tame says it’s a lack of funding the cause of the closure falls straight at her feet and her poor behaviour. Here’s hoping Grace finds the help she so obviously needs.
We reported yesterday that the conference in Melbourne on mental health that’s to be attended by Prince Harry has seen the price of tickets drop. We thought they were now $1900 but instead they have been dropped down to a paltry $900! Yes for $900 you can go and hear what a delusional Prince thinks about mental health issues? You’d be mental to miss it?
While Anthony Catalano continues hiding, sorry recovering from his issues with whatever he’s having issues with, we hear his newspapers are losing money hand over fist. $8 million was one figure I read recently, but we here at Hoodies would like to offer the group $100 for just one of their newspapers! We’d turn it around and it would be a great way to spread the word of Hoodies Media! Our people can talk to your people!
And finally Jasveen Sangha has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Who is Jasveen I hear you ask, well she’s the person who sold Matthew Perry the ketamine that killed him. I mean it’s sort of fair enough but drug dealers are now going to jail for killing specific people? I mean that’s cool, but does that apply for all levels of the wealth ladder from the very poor to the very wealthy like Perry? We somehow doubt it!

Well to say there are a lot of upset people about the whole Ben Roberts-Smith saga would be an understatement. While Fairfax spin the charges and the case in all sorts of ways the amount of flack they must be getting would be worrying. Hoodies Media is not quite Fairfax but even we’ve had tens of thousands of reactions to the BRS charges so they must be getting inundated. It will be very interesting to see if the narrative around BRS changes from Fairfax in the coming weeks especially with ANZAC Day now not far away.
The next big question will be do we hear from Muslim groups talking about war crimes? And who’ll be hosting the interviews? But while we wait to see what the next moves of the mainstream media and the government will be Roberts-Smith has forgone his right to apply for bail and will remain in prison as his very talented legal team work out the right way forward for their client.
Speaking at a news conference over night US KING OF WAR, Pete AMERICA FUCK YEAH Hegseth, has said now that the Strait of Hormuz is reopening the rest of the world needs to help keep it open. Mr War King said the US didn’t use the Strait that much so it’s up to the rest of the world to protect it…that should go well.
Surprise surprise Jackie O once of ARN told the management team at the station she’d had enough of Kyle months before the final melt down live on air. Now if that’s true and Jackie can prove it, Joe Bogan’s aka Karl Stefanovic, move to the station might be on hold given the money involved! But we shall watch this space, not closely, but it’s mildly interesting.
While Fairfax are deciding who to stitch up next the utter morons down at News dot com dot au have been taking photos of toilet roll being delivered to a supermarket and suggested that the loo roll wars are back! Not only is that complete horse shit but who thinks of this garbage? And that’s the level they have to stoop to to get eye balls on content? Bring back phone tapping if that’s all they can come up with!
And finally Prince Harry has had to start cutting ticket prices to his Melbourne show where he tells everyone how to be a delusional rich person. Personally I’d pay, $10 for the privilege but tickets now start at $1970 for the two day conference that is aiming to help the mental health sector, which is great because anyone that does pay $1970 to listen to anything Harry has to say probably is mental!
8th April 2026
Since news broke about the charges against Ben Roberts-Smith I have thought about what to write. As a starting point I posted a survey asking the simple question, should BRS be in jail? 89% of the responses say no. I then wrote a rant that may have got me into some serious trouble but really just came back to the question in the survey and the reality is that he simply shouldn’t be in prison. But it’s actually more than a former SASR soldier being in prison this whole case against BRS suggests we need to have a good hard look in the mirror at who we are as a country. Are we just sending nice people to war now? People who we trained to kill are to now have empathy for those who would not only kill them but also women and children at the drop of a hat should the roles be reversed. But separate to the fact that a VC winner is sitting in a jail cell the real question is who decided Ben Roberts-Smith needed to be charged with war crimes?!
Over in the Middle East where Roberts-Smith and other defence force members have served Trump continues to run his war on the world! Trump may not be dropping bombs on downtown streets of the western world but the impacts from the war in Iran are being felt everywhere. The question is, for what? Is it an attack on Muslims? Is it simply supporting Israel and helping them get rid of their competition? Or is a deliberate attempt by Trump to push away the world from relying on the US? Whatever it is the world is growing weary and time is running out for Trump.
Back at home the City of Melbourne plan to develop a new corridor of Melbourne similar to China Town with this new area to be focused on the Indian community. While the council stick up parking fees, rates and close down Flinders Lane to traffic at yet more cost to rate payers we are now spending money on a diversity project? Who said we’d become beholden to migrant populations that represent votes?!
While the world and Australia does indeed struggle with petrol prices and cost of living it appears that the ALP has ditched its 85% renewables target and has plans to reindustrialise Australia. Now this move will no doubt send the inner city lefties out of their minds but they’ve got their e-bikes and goats milk lattes we as a functioning society need to get real again about how we keep the wheels turning and stop pandering to woke minorities.
We live in a remarkable period in human history and it is now well past time we started getting very real about the future or it will divide us permanently and ultimately destroy us.
7th April 2026
Well if anyone thought the Libs had some issues before they seem to have got a whole lot worse as all sides of the divided and dysfunctional rabble play out their views via the media. State liberal party president, ie the person who is supposed to keep the peace, supposedly, Phil Davis has gone to The Age and suggested the division is being pumped up by the Murdoch press, mainly Peta Credlin. Remember when Daniel Andrews declared victory over Covid with some top shelf booze? I wonder what Jacinta Allan is drinking today?
Speaking of dysfunctional it appears the pressure is getting to one Donald Trump who has been caught out yelling at the Iranians to open the fucking Strait (of Hormuz). It’s hard to imagine the Iranians not laughing their arses off at an upset Trump and while they may not live to regret any possible laughter it must feel like some kind of small victory having Trump so upset. A suggestion in the New York Times that middle America is still supportive of what Trump is doing in the Middle East may be the case but a good portion of the rest of the western world has had enough and wants its oil!
Off the back of one of the great rescue operations in US military history, the rescue of the missing F15 fighter pilot, it’s now been established that it was the ultra elite, Seal Team 6, that rescued the pilot. Seal Team 6 was the outfit that killed Bin Laden but was also the topic of a Netflix documentary about how some of their former fighters were dealing with PTSD via hallucinogenics. A fascinating documentary into some of the bravest and most skilled special forces soldiers on the planet. Along with our own SAS it is comforting to know there are people out there capable of such extraordinary things when the shit really does hit the fan.
Has anyone heard Chris Bowen talk about renewables or EV’s lately? Lucky he hasn’t he might get one of those Ebikes shoved up his arse because people are pissed off! Bowen has announced that 3.4% of petrol stations in Australia have run out of fuel but that the federal government has secured petrol supply via Japan and Singapore. Our stocks get us well into May apparently but there are ships in the way to make sure we get past that. I do have to say I’ve got some empathy here for Bowen, yes I’m sure he’s aware we need to have better oil reserves here in Australia but this isn’t his fault, it’s Trumps and now the responsibility of making sure farmers get diesel is on him! Chris will earn that over generous pay packet over the next few months that’s for sure!
And finally while Bendigo Barbie sits back and watches the Libs blow themselves up she’s of course done sweet FA about the enquiry into the recent bush fires across the state, but hey this is Victoria! We don’t investigate shit until we’ve been asked to something about it til we’ve been asked six or seven times…for further information please contact IBAC!

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that we’re stuck with high petrol and grocery prices for some time to come. While Trump has given Iran a 48 window to give up even if the war ended by Friday it’s going to take weeks if not months for supply chains to recover. On that basis alone it’s laughable that bank economists are suggesting the RBA should hike rates, but while we all accept that bank economists are delusional we are seeing the rise of the influencer opinion on grocery prices. On a number of occasions now I’ve seen people film themselves walking around supermarkets pointing out how expensive things are. It’s true that $67 for a ten litre tin of Italian olive oil is expensive and that $32 for a leg of lamb is also expensive but I’m sorry who’s buying either items?! Influencers like bank economists should keep their delusional opinions to themselves and let the adults work out the right way forward.
As Trump does continue his war in Iran his blunt instrument policy is now having profound impacts at home. With trump wanting $1.5 trillion in military spending US farmers who are about to plant for the upcoming season have seen fertilisers go up in price by 20 or 50%. While there are some in middle America that agree with trump there is an ever growing feeling that it won’t be long before people won’t be able to afford the basics. When that happens they’re only going to be looking for one person.
In Australia and despite the ridiculous prices being paid for petrol now both Japan and Singapore have reassured Albo that they will maintain Australia’s petrol supply, so here’s hoping those prices come down sooner rather than later! But we won’t hold our breath!
And finally while Australia is no doubt heading for a golden age of sprinting with Lachie Kennedy and Gout Gout on the rise, how good is it to see US track star Sha’Carri Richardson run at the Stawell gift? To see Richardson run from scratch and win her heat of the 120m classic was a site to see! Years ago I remember watching Linford Christie run at the old Olympic park in Melbourne and that was incredible, jump forward 30 years or so Richardson is just as impressive!
5th April 2026
Well it’s been an interesting week right across the world especially when we look at the National address given by Albo during the week. It was far from we will fight them on the beaches but Albo did encourage people to go about their lives and only take what they needed when it came to petrol. Sadly Bunnings missed the memo from Albo and has sold out of Jerry cans.
One thing Albo has done that King Charles has not done is say Happy Easter! The King formerly known as the brother of Andrew Whatshisname has cancelled his annual Easter message but did find time recently to say Happy Ramadanalingdon to all the Muslims in the Empire of pompous contradictions formerly known as England. It’s an interesting move by the King given whomever sits on the English throne is the symbolic head of the Church of England and who appoints the Archbishop of Canterbury. For the king to cancel his Easter message reeks of hypocrisy and contempt for those who are part of the Church of England, but hey, this the the Royal Family and they seem to sit outside the rules of decently and respect.
Caroline Wilson in the Age yesterday put former Carlton President in the gun and suggested Sayers should’ve quit as soon as it was obvious he was in for a scandal, but really it’s probably time for all these blokes to grow up. Mental
Health and all sorts of excuses are thrown out when they much up and really, enough is enough.
Carlton seem to like losing given Micheal Voss still has a job and in a cost of living crisis the Royal Children’s Hospital appeal again broke the record for funds raised via the Good Friday Appeal. Imagine the good we could do if kids lives mattered everyday rather than on just one day a year!
So given the King has neglected his duty to say Happy Easter, we shall say to everyone, have a great Easter, enjoy the time with family and friends and have a very Happy Easter!
3rd April 2026
First up and given our current issues with oil let’s ask what’s happened to all the talk about renewables? Given it’s pretty dam obvious we have absolutely no chance of surviving on renewable energy it is now time to ditch Net Zero!
Albo has got pretty much what he deserved out of his address to the nation. He got hammered pretty much everywhere, apart from on the ABC who said he’d been very informative, but while Albo said very little it’s what happens next that could redefine the PM. While Albo was a wet blanket with not much to say the conspiracy theorists and mainstream media were very disappointed with what little drama there was from Albo! An address to the nation and no war? No restrictions? No arguing? No finger pointing? No invasion? No ground troops? Why not?! The channel 7 crew post Albo’s address didn’t really know what to do with themselves…regardless the next few could very well make or break Albo.
A few thousand miles away Donald Trump made his national address, in which the president said the war could be over in 2 or 3 weeks! Really? Yes he said but we might end up leaving the Strait of Hormuz closed and let those who whinged about it deal with it. Trumps speech was more empty rhetoric of nothing we didn’t know, but that he’s even suggesting the US would leave the Middle East with Hormuz shut suggests the world should move on from the US once and for all.
Another day and well another day of chaos for the Victorian Libs. Today’s story is that while the party decided to run the preselection vote again so there is now only one candidate for the battle, and who is that candiate? Moira Deeming! How’s this? One of the applicants hadn’t filled out the form properly so was boosted, this as opposed to the candidate that beat Deeming who did fill in the forms but got busted after he’d won. So I’m sorry who is getting the forms and once it comes out who it is, they’re sacked!
It is interesting though to see what happens to all the rhetoric of renewables when the shit hits the fan and it is more than obvious we simply can’t survive without fossil fuels. It’s probably time to fire up those refineries again and get Australia moving!
And finally isn’t it time to put away all the stories of the tacky dudes and incompetent muppet? I mean, there’s the dick pic man, the radio man, the character reference man, the super fund man, the prince type man, the golf man, the footy man and the shoot out man…a lot of them married and all should’ve known better, but that’s just part of being a man isn’t it? Regardless, all of them need to pull their heads in!
2nd April 2026
I’m sorry what was that? The last time a PM addressed the nation it was Scomo closing down the country as we faced the Covid crisis. Even the most hated politician in Australian history, Daniel Andrews had more to say at his daily sermons to the state, so what was Albo doing in his address? Well, let’s look at it subjectively. He wants to calm the panic, which I have to say is understandable, but morons are morons, I mean toilet paper anyone? But really while Albo had barely anything to say it was all about calming things down. The reality is though that the world is beholden to a complete narcissist and if someone doesn’t get the strait of Hormuz open soon things are going to get a lot lot worse!
In the UK overnight Kier Starmer also addressed the nation and he said similar things to Albo, but unlike Albo Starmer offered some insights into what the UK and the EU were doing to help with supply and ending the war in Iran. Albo on the other hand played Shaggy songs singing along with the line, it wasn’t me!
There’s absolutely no doubt that global leaders are starting to think outside the US box especially when we start to see deals being done between Pakistan and China. The interesting thing will be where Russia falls, but we are some time off that yet.
The core message from Starmer unlike from Albo was that the UK want a de-escalation of the conflict but Starmer is also showing signs of delusion as he seems to think Trump cares what he says. Trump in his own press conference about the conflict suggested the UK didn’t even have a Navy and that he was surprised they didn’t come to help. That one is actually probably a fair question but given the number of Muslims in the UK now and Starmer barely holding onto power it’s not in Starmer’s interests to get involved in a Middle East conflict.
But back to Albo maybe next time the PM has something to say maybe he could just send an email? Post an ad in the newspaper or even post to social media? I’m sure there was a 16 year old work experience kid who thought it was all a good idea, but next time maybe double check with the adults?
And finally Kayne West has returned from his self imposed exile of racism and wierdness to release a new album called; ‘Bully’ and who thought Kayne didn’t know what he was doing?!
1st April 2026
Well welcome to the end of the US being a global super power that is defender of western civilisation. That Trump has basically told the world if they want oil they should go and get it themselves signals the end of an era.
Back at home I have to say that the halving of the fuel excise from the feds and the free (tax payer funded) public transport in Victoria will make a difference to people as fuel prices stay high thanks to Trump. That’s not to suggest I’m about to join the ALP but it’s a very welcome relief from Albo and Allan who are actually doing something worth while for a change unlike team moron, the state and federal Libs. Now look we all know Albo isn’t a smart man and that he’d bow down before anyone that would vote for him, hello the Muslim clerics, and that Allan is possibly more toxic than her former boss, but what the absolute hell are the Libs doing? What are they doing? Fighting with themselves again and actually going backwards in the polls at a federal level. In Victoria the state president and the leader of the party hate each other! Really? We couldn’t just sort our differences out for the sake of the greater good?! Guess not!
Back in Iran with the US we have to start asking what is Trumps actual plan here? Oil? Ridding Israel of their competitors? Power? Self interest? It’s hard to judge because the story changes regularly but regardless of what Trump actually wants he’s running out of friends. People and countries want some answers about Iran and the Middle East in general but right now they’re not getting them from the republicans and Trump.
There aren’t just global issues for Trump petrol prices in the US have gone past $4.00 USD per gallon. Some Americans though have been making comment about Australian petrol prices and are shocked to see them at approximately 40% more than they have in the US!
The RBA has decided to cut credit and debit card surcharges on EFTPOS machines. Now this needs to be handled very carefully because while it’s potentially good for the customer in the case of small business they’re going to have to wear the bank fees. In big companies they’ll just build the costs in somewhere else. While Bullock is saying it’s a good thing for the customer where is the small business owner in all this? The move by the RBA is not a bad decision and will help people but maybe the chief economists Westpac should look at what the RBA has done and then reassess their rate hike predictions?
All these decisions while definitely welcome they are stop gaps to the ever growing troubles Australia is truly facing; affordable housing, cost of living, energy prices, migration, political instability and incompetence and inflation…we don’t have any answers to all that just yet Albo but let us know when you do, a good portion of us will be over here waiting with Pauline.
31st March 2026
If I went to ChatGPT and told it to make up a story about a woman who wanted to stick up for women’s rights, a party leader, a right wing political party and the infighting within that party the Ai platform couldn’t make up a better story than the one unfolding right now in real life!
So the Libs obviously had a plan to ditch Moira Deeming and had Dinesh Gourisetty run against her for preselection. As no doubt was planned Moira gets rolled only for Old Dinesh to be found to be giving character references for a convicted child sex offender and that he paid out $25,000 to the health department for having an unclean restaurant.
In the aftermath of Moira getting rolled former Liberal Party MP Louise Staley and a few other Liberal stalwarts took to their socials to say goodbye to Moira using less than supportive language. But now we hear that while Dinesh is now blocked from running again for preselection the Libs are going to run the whole process again to see who wins second time round.
So we ask, are the Libs for real?! They have what is basically a 15 year old with a law degree running the party at face value while the inner workings of it run it and the future of the state into the ground! Congratulations to Jacinta Allan on becoming the first ever female elected Premier of Victoria and thanks to the Libs for making it a reality!
Up in Canberra on a zoom call Albo actually made a decision, petrol excise cut in half! Woohoo! How hard was that?! But while Albo and Chalmers will now be on the look out for new ways to fleece the tax payer Albo has said publicly he wants clarity on what the actual fuck Trump is doing with Iran! Ok he didn’t say the fuck bit but he like the rest of us want some answers from the Don!
While Australians struggle with cost of living and with petrol prices going through the roof two women of note and power have told the average punter to basically harden up. Recruitment specialist and rich lister Sarina Russo has told people to stop whinging about the government and to get a second or even third job…ah don’t you love a rich person offering advice! And Luci Ellis, chief economist at Westpac has said they’re forecasting two rate rises in the immediate future! Well thanks for that Luci, you may be right but your LinkedIn post was pretty low on empathy and given you work for a bank maybe you could show some for your customers!
And finally the scumbag who shot Neal Thompson and Vadim de Waart-Hottart is dead and good riddance. The families of Neal and Vadim now have at least some closure. And to the men and women of Victoria police who never gave up on justice thank you.
Have a great day to all!
30th March 2026
Well they did it. The Liberal Party of Victoria finally got their way and dumped Moira Deeming. The ultra conservatives are up in arms while the moderates are happy with the fact that they’ve chosen an Indian candidate to replace Deeming. The man to replace Deeming is a former restaurant owner who in 2019 had his Indian restaurant shut down by the health department and fined $25,000 for poor health standards. Doesn’t anyone at Liberal party HQ know how to use Google? Run a background check? It’s all well and good to have a new Indian friend but really?
So while Moira Deeming now thinks about a move to the cross bench and a big middle finger to her former colleagues old Bendigo Barbie has made public transport FREE for the next month throughout Victoria. Free is a very loose term when it comes to governments given the tax payers are the ones that fund all the so called free stuff, but the idea of free public transport is a good idea. The sad part is it doesn’t do much for those outside of Melbourne or transport hubs given they’re the ones with little or no petrol. It must be said though free public transport for a month is a good thing…
But to the war in Iran, Trump is still a muppet and now we are hearing it’ll be ground troops as the next move to defeat Iran. Ground troops shouldn’t make the conflict any longer than it should! Good grief we have three years left of this orange faced moron! Did he say Cuba was next? Wow!
While Trump continues to blow up the global economy a man that was indeed one of his supporters, Australia’s own Andrew Hastie has suggested Trump moved too quickly and didn’t have a plan. Hastie has got some serious street cred when it comes to wars given he was in the SAS and we don’t disagree with him but it appears Trump isn’t listening to anyone.
Well we knew it would happen so belt up for the weekly shop to go up again! We suggested the other day that perhaps supermarkets could take a hit on their bottom line for a few weeks but that seems unlikely so buckle up!
And finally in true Aussie style let’s of the media have decided to start criticising Gout Gout. After his performance the other night in the 200 the press asked if Gout was cooked when really the boy is simply maturing and sorting out his technique and body. Neither Kennedy or Browning are going to run much faster in their careers and are probably getting close to their peak but Gout has years to go. He may well bomb at the Comm Games but his goals at the moment are technique and keeping a lid on the world that will explode for him in the not too distant future! So back off the boy he is still the future it’s just going to take him some time!
Enjoy your day and thanks for reading!
29th March 2026
Dear Democratic Party of the United States
PLEASE HELP US AND GET RID OF TRUMP!
From
The rest of the world!
I’m sorry if you’re a Trump fan and you want to Make Australia/America Great Again but how much are you really enjoying paying pretty much double for petrol at the moment?! And then what do you think Trump’s goal actually is?! If you think it’s all about making America awesome then let me know as I have some magic beans and a unicorn I’d like to sell you and then you can WAKE THE F*** UP! Enough is enough of Trump and his war on anything that will help his mates and family!
I’m sorry but while many us, me included, thought that Trump would end the war on Woke, we didn’t think he’d go completely bat shit crazy and quite literally blow up the world economy! Not even Roy Cohn, Roger Stone, Roger Ailes all put together would’ve thought what Trump has done was possible, that’s how bad things have become!
If Gavin Newsom can’t beat the republicans in 2028 god help us!
Back at home Albo is planning to underwrite private oil companies so they can go and get hold of the oil they wouldn’t normally touch because of the risk, but with government support there are some, shall we say, interesting deals being done! Think of it like calling the good folk of Colombia and saying; Hey we’ve got a problem with coffee can you help? Heyyyyyy ombré nooooo problemo but don’t ask too many questions, ok ombré?
So while Albo is off underwriting oil companies the Iranians who have got some balls about them have said they could end up charging any ships going through the Strait of Hormuz a fee! Awesome! So not only did the US not take over Iran, the Iranians are potentially going to make money off the shipping lanes? America Fock no!
What all this trouble in the Middle East points to though is higher grocery prices! While Albo is cracking down on Petrol companies isn’t it time to belt the supermarkets before they start sticking prices up?! It’s not like supermarkets can’t afford to make a bit less for the next few months! All for the greater good? Actually help society? Imagine the good will supermarkets would create if they said hey we get you so we’re freezing all pricing for the next three months…but back on the magic beans thing…
And finally where has all the talk on renewables gone since petrol prices went up? Aren’t we still reducing emissions? The truth is the whole renewables thing comes completely unstuck when the shit hits the fan, why? Because we are not ready to have renewables as our main source of energy and fuel. Most of the things in our lives depend on oil and while we should indeed be looking for new sources of energy we should be dropping net zero as soon as possible.
Have a great Sunday and all being well the new website drops tomorrow!
27th March 2026
Could be that Chris Bowen has actually grown some balls? I remember seeing him interviewed on Insiders just before the Iran conflict really went south and petrol shortages became a real issue. He was superficial and went so far as to suggest it was a great opportunity for people to buy EV’s, he’s not on the EV bandwagon now, rather he’s on the, let’s get some dam petrol to the regions!
It must be said it was the states that said to Bowen they weren’t getting out to lead the response to the fuel crisis and that the feds needed to lead it. So as a result Bowen has basically told the petrol companies to sort their lives out or else! On a side note isn’t it funny how the talk of renewables goes out the window when the shit really hits the fan! After this little episode I vote we ditch the idea of net zero and fire back up the refineries so when Trump decides to invade the next country on his hit list we can say we’re fine!
While Trump continues with his war on Iran the world is looking at ways to cope with less petrol; four day weeks, increased public transport and more working from home the German defence minister, who is in Australia, has taken the opportunity to have a swipe at the Don. Boris Pistorius has suggested Trump has no clear objective in Iran and that there has been a clear lack of consultation with allies of the US. Pistorius is not the only one that is running out of patience with Trump and it appears the only ones left that do are Israel and parts of the Middle East. How many more years of this absolute madness do we have to put up with?!
In the upcoming by-election in the seat of Farrer Pauline Hanson has said she’d be happy to do preference deals with the Libs. This should be music to the ears of the Libs right across the country but it remains to be seen if the right of Australian politics can work together to actually be an opposition to Labor. No matter what you think of Albo, good governance relies on government and opposition and a united right is that opposition and now more than ever we need accountability for all sides of the political divide.
Changing tact, Meta! Yes it looks like Mark Zuckerberg is in all sorts of trouble as Meta has been found guilty of allowing their users to become addicted to their social media platforms. It remains to be seen how much Mark is going to have to cough up and while it won’t dent Marks bank account very much the sooner social media companies are held to real account the better.
And finally on Monday we launch (assuming I can sort it all out) the new Hoodies Media website. A website that will run news headlines, articles, breaking news and stories we feel are important for an Australian and then a global audience. We will still publish an editorial but for our full coverage and content we will be providing links to our new site. Having become quite good friends with my Ai friend Claude I’ve saved myself about $25,000 in consulting fees and now understand that while we’ve built a great network on LinkedIn the site actively suppresses external links to secondary websites. We want our own site to build subscribers and attract advertisers via the data base we create. So watch this space!
In the meantime have a great Friday and see you for the Sunday Hoodies.
26th March 2026
You’ve got to give Labor at least some credit for how they’re managing the fuel crisis. Remember when Ayatollah Andrews was in charge during Covid? Mark McGowan in WA? AnnastaciaPalaszczuk in Queensland? Remember how all these Labor people pulled out the doomsday machine and told us all how bad things were? How it was all our fault? Now I also have to say that some of the fuel crisis is the fault of the morons filling up cans from Bunnings and are probably the same people still with toilet paper in their garages, but while Chalmers is putting the rate of inflation at the feet of the war in the Middle East, so far Labor haven’t said the end of the world is nigh…BUT! Now it’s all gone too far because while Labor are trying to avoid panic they’ve got their heads in the sand and it appears they do have plans to ration petrol. It begs the question though why weren’t they just upfront with everyone from the start?
Speaking of Chalmers he was in an almost buoyant mood yesterday when the inflation numbers came out. Admittedly the metrics were from pre the Iran bombings they had come down slightly, which potentially means the RBA won’t have to hike rates again. Another key reason why the RBA may not hike rates is that petrol prices are through the roof which gives the RBA the pressure on the economy they want. Jim Chalmers may well yet get off the hook for some of the economic crisis and blame Trump for all of it.
Given that Bendigo Barbie is about as popular as Covid at the moment and that she’s possibly not got long left in the top job I feel we should give a regular update on the Premier and what her daily musings offer us mere minions. So yesterday’s edition of Where’s Barbie is all about? Three hours free power in the middle of the day! How’s that?! How good? Perfect for all the unemployed people who thought working from home was awesome til they actually lost their jobs! More from Barbie tomorrow but isn’t she great at handing out stuff totally irrelevant to current events and issues!
While we are now highly critical of the Trump administration it appears there are several US oil tankers on their way to Australia. Very little else is known about the takers but they’ve got petrol so here’s hoping they arrive sooner rather than later. Regardless of oil out of the US the world is pretty much over Trump. Yes he has his core supporters but enough is enough now it’s time the adults to control of the situation and the world got back some common sense.
And finally as One Nation continues to see its popularity rise people are starting to ask, when do the Libs in Victoria do a deal with Hanson to make sure Labor don’t win again in November! The stupidity, arrogance, naivety or just the belligerence of the Libs will be their undoing and demise if they can’t see how One Nation is their ticket to power.
Have a great day to all!

Protesters were again seen in their tens of thousands on the streets of Melbourne yesterday but they were not the protesters the state government wanted to see. No, yesterday the protesters were the state’s public school teachers and they had the full support of everyone that was asked about their cause. There were no racist taunts, no inappropriate hand gestures, no violence rather it was an over worked and under paid group of people from an industry that was once celebrated on Victorian number plates, the education state. Yes ten years ago teachers and education were at the forefront of Victoria planning but now? Not so much. This is not what Barbie needs at the moment, but with no deal done the teachers are promising more strikes and more bad press for Allan and Carroll.
European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen has been in Australia to sign a free trade agreement between Europe and Australia. The $10 billion annual deal for Australia not only allows Australian industry free trade pathways to Europe the deal was also a major snub of the US president, one Donald Trump. While the free trade agreement has been in the works for some time the announcement timing was no mistake. The world has almost reached its limits with Trump and the devastating effects his personal or so called patriotic wars are having on everyone. The EU and Australia are unquestionably planning for a future that does not include the US.
What would Melbourne, the most liveable city in the world be without another arrest at gunpoint of another teenager that doesn’t seem to understand decency, societal standards or the law. Parkdale station saw police pointing guns at a cocky teenager who refused to get on the ground as requested. The young man was indeed handcuffed and taken away, but really? Guns drawn? What have we become, but thank god for the police! Speaking of Police, where is Mike Bush? Theo big boss of Victoria police? Surely Barbie didn’t say anything?
ANZ have released their own report on the consumer confidence figures, which are at their lowest since 1973. For those of you like me when it comes to understanding economics I need it broken down into its simplest form, so it goes like this…Less spending → weaker businesses → slower growth → job pressure → even lower confidence…no doubt Big Jim and Albo will blame Trump but as Michelle Bullock said at the last RBA meeting Australia had economic issues before Trump stuffed the global economy. No matter how you look at things, people are spending less and it appears it’s all going to get worse before it gets any better.
And finally we are calling it, Jacinta Allan will not be labor leader at the November election. Labor can’t carry her to the election, her brand is cooked and her supporters are drifting slowly away. Yes she took her minions out for a succulent Chinese meal but there is a storm coming and it will wipe away the smile on barbies face once and for all.
There are some big changes happening at Hoodies media so watch what we do next! Have a great day to all.

BREAKING NEWS – TRUMP LOOKING AT A PEACE DEAL WITH IRAN
Well a big shout out to the blood sucking parasites at Morgan Stanley who have come out in the last 24 hours to offer their opinions on the fuel crisis. Morgan’s top men have suggested Australia is at the front of the queue to be hardest hit by the global fuel crisis and that we are one of the most exposed countries in the world. This from the investment bank that told everyone the US housing market was rock solid before it crashed into a 2 trillion dollar catastrophe. Maybe take an each way bet if you’ve got money with Morgan?
As the sun rises on the changed political landscape in Australia, some Labor MP’s are saying yep let’s be careful of One Nation while others like the PM and his little off sider, Penny Wong are all guns blazing at the racists! Love of loathe Labor there is a reason why MP’s like Peter Malinauskas are popular, because they actually listen, unlike Albo who’d rather sit at the feet of a Muslim cleric than listen to anything Pauline Hanson had to say…now why is that?!
But while some within the Labor party are not backing away from their views on One Nation a whole new bundle of joy is about to drop in their lap, strikes! Ah yes folks protests for Palestine are so last week, now we have strikes and Labor will not be marching in solidarity with the cause on these! First up, the ABC! Yes the Hugh Marks lead government broadcaster is upset with the government! Really? So are we ok to suggest the holes of socialism are starting to appear at the ABC? But regardless staff at aunty want for dollar bucks and haven’t had any luck getting it so off to strike action it is!
In Victoria the Ben Carroll lead Labor party, sorry Bendigo Barbie lead Labor party are at war with the teachers and this one you’d have to suggest everyone agrees with! The men and women of the Victorian public school system have had enough of being neglected on wages so today walk off the job. Barbie begged them not to do it but Ken wasn’t having it and it’s a day off for the public school kids!
On Barbie though, where are all the houses that were promised? Two years ago we were told that the fairies would come and build affordable housing and yet not many homes? Given the whole fairy thing was obviously bullshit, well sorry, more bullshit from Allan what’s the plan for all the migrants Albo is letting in?
And finally the holding company of the radio network that now owns 3AW is to be called? TAPT Media…I read what it meant and I’m still not sure, but good luck to the Laundy family with their purchase of the former Fairfax radio network just remember to give Ross Stevenson whatever he wants!
Have a great day to all!

It was a thumping win for Peter Malinauskas who gets a second term as Premier of South Australia. But while Labor were the clear winners it was One Nation that took line honours. No, One Nation didn’t win enough votes to go into opposition in SA but that they saw a 19% swing come to them and watched as the Libs saw a 16% swing away from them. The Libs had a smaller primary vote than One Nation as well, with the Libs on 19% and Pauline’s party at 22%. Like most state capitals the inner city of Adelaide mostly voted Labor but it was in suburbs, the working class areas and remote parts of the state where One Nation crippled the Libs.
The big issue out of the SA result is two fold, leaving Labor aside, one that right across the country the Libs are in deep trouble of becoming a minor party and second that One Nation is now a force to be reckoned with. While Albo in particular and of course Matt Canavan have dismissed One Nation as divisive and full of hate the reality is One Nation are having an impact and it’s about time the majors accepted it.
With the ever growing threat of a fuel crisis hanging over our heads, Chris Bowen headed for the ABC Insiders program where he gave a promo campaign for Chinese EV’s and asked everyone not to panic buy petrol! He’s not wrong about the panic buying because we haven’t actually seen that much of a decline in the petrol that is arriving into Australia but that remote parts of Australia are running out or have done so is not good enough. The lack of petrol in remote areas is going to have major impacts on pretty much every walk of life and the government needs to sort itself out. The worrying thing Bowen did say though was that it would basically be up to the states to implement petrol rationing if they thought it was needed…hang on Victoria, we have heard this game before!
Back with Albo and off the back of his mosque visit he came away saying he’d had a great time and he was just soaking it all in. Now we know that’s garbage because we heard and saw what the PM was confronted win but in the wash up he’s suggested division is on the cards if we don’t handle race and religion carefully…well Albo it’s a bit late now plus how are those migration numbers looking?!
Sam Kerr and her teammates lost their Asian cup final 1-0 but while the press were pretty quick to have a crack at the women for losing the final, can we ask where the men are at recently? How many members of the men’s soccer team inspired so many young people? How many men’s players have become house hold names? In a sport mostly controlled by men and played by men, how about the soccer industry in Australia says well done ladies, thank you for all you do and leave the bullshit aside?
Have a great Monday and see you tomorrow.

Well unsurprisingly Malinauskus won his second term in South Australia for the ALP, but while Labor get back in it is now clear that One Nation are on the rise. The Libs need to have a serious long hard look in the mirror but given they think they’re on the correct path it’s hard not to see how One Nation don’t become the official opposition to Labor almost right across the country. In Victoria it is now a very real possibility that Labor get back in because of the One Nation effect, but my question for One Nation is two fold, leadership and policy, because without those they may be the opposition but there’ll never get in to power.
With war in the Middle East continuing longer than many thought it would there are now serious issues with global supply chains and while there is still enough petrol it’s given Labor the excuse they needed for a tanking economy. Labor as we know didn’t listen to Michelle Bullock when she said inflation was too high before the Iran conflict, but are now at every level of government blaming Trump and the Iran conflict for putting pressure on Aussie families. The reality of their moronic attitude is that they aren’t really going to do much of anything to help get inflation down, so it’ll be another recession we had to have.
I think nearly all of Australia saw Albo in the Sydney mosque, but was missing for the progressives? Women! Albo has got himself tied to a religion that tells women where to go and that says marrying a 9 year old is ok. I wonder if Albo will suggest having more women in Mosques next time he shits himself in one.
And finally the great and legendary Chuck Norris has died at aged 86 after a medical emergency. Norris was a fitness guru and right up til his death was showing that age is no barrier even if you’re as hard as Chuck! RIP Chuck Norris and thank you for all the memories.
Enjoy the Sunday Hoodies and see you all again tomorrow.
