Well Big Mick says his arrest was all over a parking ticket and while I suspect Victoria Police might suggest otherwise it’s hard not to think that the Allan Labor government are clearing house. The state election is now less than six months away and Allan stinks to high heaven so now is the time to try and push as many people under the bus as possible. Is Mick collateral damage? Maybe maybe not but anyone remotely on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to the state government best look out.
Luba! Hey welcome to the team! You’ve passed your labor party scandal initiation! You were busted doing moronic crap, you fronted the media, said sorry and now you have the keys to the kingdom! Congratulations!
I’m sorry but when is the next US election? And can someone please tell the Democrats to sort their lives out?! Trump is now planning to implement a tariff of 12.5% on Australia for, wait for it, failing to prevent slavery! I’m sorry what? While the US president goes about his job of destroying the global economy he’s now imposing a slavery tariff? Wow. Just wow.
Back in Victoria the land of the corrupt, Barbie is facing fresh teacher trouble as schools say no to the latest pay offer. Allan will be dark there is descent in the ranks because she needs all those lovely public servants voting for her. If she loses the public servant vote then maybe she loses the election?
The Luke Sayers dick pic scandal looks all set to be played out in public in November. The application to have the case heard behind closed doors has been denied and so it’s dick pics at the ready. How’s that saying go? Hell hath no fury?
Over in the US Sports illustrated has been presenting its Swim suit parade where only real women were invited to participate. While the star of the show was Penny Lane, 55 year old reality TV star Bethenny Frankel who also appeared in a swimsuit has been criticised on social media for? Well I’m not exactly sure to be honest. Frankel is as fit a 55 year old female as you’ll see but has somehow been criticised for being so? As much as the Sports Illustrated event was indeed all about promoting real women it seems age is a number that stops people showing off how they look?

So I was prepared to cut Grace Tame some slack given what she’s had to deal with but after she attended the pro Palestinian rally that saw her go feral I like many others said ok that’s enough now. The ABC however have brought Grace into their fold and made her part of a new programme called ‘Autistic AF’. A program where she discusses women with autism and other issues facing women. First up, I wonder if they can define what a woman is and secondly the ABC are a woke lefty rabble that is now being criticised by one of their own in Charlie Pickering. The idea the ABC is supported by tax payer money is a joke especially given most people don’t watch it or are in serious opposition to its content. Time for the ABC to lose its funding and try to survive in the big wide world on its own. Good luck!
Now I’m all for people being paid what they’re worth and being given what they need to survive but are we really handing out pay rises again? The minimum wage in Australia for the first time is now above $1,000 a week and two things come out of this rise. The first is how do businesses afford it and secondly what does the RBA do with inflation now? Stick up rates again? When will government bodies understand that inflation won’t go away until they stop spending money! But it’s not only minimum wage earners getting a pay rises, Albo stands to get a $57,000 a year pay rise. We know that Albo will say he doesn’t set the pays etc but he could say no. You know what else he could do? He could stop MP’s wearing designer clothes into the parliament. In recent days MP’s from both sides of the divide have been seen in labelled designer gear…a big middle finger to those doing it toughest.
Luba Grigorovitch, the new Labor wunderkind, ain’t so wonderful after all. Why? Because she’s handed out no less than 33 character references for people she says she took at face value. I bet the local machete wielding asshole can be nice on the surface so can he get one Luba? But have no fear Luba, you work for one of if not the most corrupt governments ever in office in this country so just say you’ve learnt your lesson and move on. Oh and how’s Big John?
Australia’s own Joe Bogan, aka Karl Stefanovic is apparently upsetting a few people at Channel 9 with some of the content he’s including in his highly successful podcast. Karl who has never really put his right wing views out there at 9 is now a full blown righty and some don’t like it. I don’t mind it, but here’s hoping he’s legit, but it remains to be seen.
And finally BUY MY BOOK!
2nd June 2026
Bahahahahahahaha Bahahahahahahahaha bahahahahahahaaaa!!!!
Seriously! Does anyone believe the utter and contemptible bullshit that Jacinta Allan comes out with now? It’s all so serious! IBAC apparently don’t have enough powers and according to Barbie they’re going to get more! When!? Now? Could they have the Operation Richmond report released and the court case chucked out? Are the powers retrospective? Can IBAC now find out where all the money went? No? Why!? Surely, if we’re giving IBAC more power we can get into some real investigations! We can’t? Why not? Ohhhhhh ok because the powers won’t be available until 2028! Makes sense! By then most of the Allan government will be on life long tax payer funded pensions working as tour guides on the Great Wall of China! Awesome!
Are we for real here? What an absolute joke!
But while IBAC will have some new powers come 2028 has anyone in government been investigating the amount of money thrown at tech companies wanting to build data centres in Victoria? Apparently tech executives have been being wined and dined in Melbourne and offered all sorts of perks to build their data centres in our town. No suggestion of how toxic and poorly planned the data centres are, rather go get us another bottle of Grange with our Peking duck waiter!
Pauline Hanson was out on radio yesterday suggesting she was shocked about the latest polling data that has suggested she could well end up as PM! Now, Pauline we know you perhaps didn’t think this would all get this far, but let’s not pull a Monty Brewster here and suggest none of the above. While it could be daunting being PM now is the chance. So, less shock more fuck yeah! And to those thinking Pauline Hanson as PM?! While you may shake your heads, surely she’d be better than Albo!
While Pauline might be having to think about the colour of the curtains in the lodge Albo and Labor are about to go into attack mode! Labor are planning all out war against One Nation as they’re thinking it’s time to rid themselves of their competition. Will it work? Personally I wouldn’t bet against Pauline…
Apparently the Palace covered for the bloke once known as Prince scum bag…who would’ve thought that the Royals would protect one of their own until it became such a bad situation they cut him loose. Here’s hoping Andrew spends some time in jail because it’s still the case that there’s only one person in jail and that person is a woman!
And finally my book is out! Thank you to everyone that bought it for delivery or instant download! It was quite the journey and here’s to 500 copies being sold in the next six months!

Only food and booze released TODAY!
Good morning and welcome to not only today’s edition of the Hoodies Daily, but also to my first ever book. Yes, today is the day that we release my book about my time in the hospitality industry. It’s had its ups and downs, but as much as life has changed over the last 40 years hospitality is still very much a part of who I am.
The book is broken up into easy to read chapters that talk about a range of aspects of the industry from chefs to waiters, from owners to kitchen hands…it’s a heart on the sleeve account of how I see the industry and some, I hope amusing or inspiring anecdotes. The book will be available to print via Amazon, it’s available for Kindle on Amazon and also on Apple Books, so we will release the links to it when it drops via US time!
Feel free to share the links far and wide and I hope you enjoy ‘Only food and booze’ by yours truly.
Editorial
We asked yesterday in the Sunday Hoodies what would happen if China moved into Taiwan. Would Australia stand with the US or would they not get involved and support China? Given Australia’s connection to China but with the US being a decades long ally it’s tricky, but not if you’re the City of Melbourne.
The City of Melbourne council maintains an office in China and now it’s being reported that tax payers are funding the wining and dining of communist party officials in China. So while Australia may have to grapple with where it stands if Taiwan comes under attack from China we know where Reece and his cohort of councillors will be heading if the shit really hits the fan.
Another poll and another awful set of numbers for Albo and big ears. 63% of Australians now think the country is on the wrong economic pathway. Pauline Hanson is now the preferred PM, One Nation is now the preferred government and the Libs are staring down the barrel of a humiliating defeat. You have to ask, when will Albo start taking One Nation seriously?
Needless to say I’m not touching any kind of legal issues at KPMG, but while governments may be continuing to use consulting firms because they’re incompetent, the consulting gravy train looks set to be stopped. While KPMG face the music they’re asking for all relevant hearings to be held in secret. Of course they want them in secret, they don’t want the public knowing all…First PWC, now KPMG…I wonder if the sailing is still on down at Sorrento this year for KPMG given current issues, but does anyone really care what the minions think? Sail on dear boy, sail on.
Second hand subs to protect our trade routes from our biggest trade partners. Thats the updated deal for the AUKUS pact. No new subs, but second hand ones that will still cost the same as the new ones we were going to get. Does anyone on planet wtffffff know why this has been handled so badly? Is it because Albo, big ears and Marles are scared of bandanna wearing, water pistol firing Pete ‘America fuck yeah’ Hegseth? So bad!
With the court case Tickle v Giggle now establishing that men can be women and that women don’t need their own safe spaces we have to ask Victorian minister for men and boys Paul Edbrooke, what’s a woman? The minister has been out recently saying how bad the manosphere is and that social media platforms are offering young boys poor role models. In that he’d be right but it’s also the case that many of his colleagues can’t define what a woman is let alone a man, so we’re keen to hear the ministers opinion.
31st May 2026
Please god make her stop spending money! Jacinta ‘Barbie’ Allan has announced her government plans to spend $15 billion on the SRL project between now and 2030. That’s more than a fifth of the states annual spend on roads, rail, schools and hospitals! A fifth! What the absolute fuck are they doing?! Is the Allan government so indebted to the CFMEU and anyone else with their fingers in the state government pie they have to keep the gravy train rolling at the sake of health care and kids education?!
Pete ‘America fuck yeah’ Hegseth has praised Australia for stepping up in to keep an eye on Chinas movements when it comes to Taiwan. Pete’s saying we’ve done the right thing by increasing our defence spending to $53 billion but we could spend more?! Pete! Put away the water pistol, take off the bandanna and stop trying to start World War III.
Ebola. It’s under control. And no we don’t want the epidemiologists opinions.
As the federal government begins to make cuts to the NDIS we again hear that they’ve got the wrong end of the stick. Instead of clamping down on the service providers ripping off the system, the new plan? Cutting back on children’s disability workers. Yep. The most vulnerable people actually on the NDIS are now the ones who stand to suffer the most because of government stupidity. The cuts to the NDIS aren’t actually about focusing on the people who really need help it’s another attempt by Labor to claw back some much needed money. Money they’re in desperate need of because? We are broke.
The Australian legend that is John Farnham is set to be honoured at an all star concert in September. The great man’s music will be performed at the Tennis centre in Melbourne, the place where he sold out multiple concerts and entertained hundreds of thousands. The big rumour? Could Kylie make an appearance?! The concert will no doubt sell out instantly so we hope that it is broadcast live in a fitting tribute to arguably Australia’s greatest singer.
And finally tomorrow is the day! ‘Only food & booze’ by me, Ben Logan is released on Apple Books and on Amazon. Watch for the links tomorrow and have a great day to all.

Hey hey! Everyone’s favourite piss taking politician, Anika Wells, is at it again but this time she forgot to tell anyone about her husband’s job with a lobby group. Now this story was on Sky, the Guardian and the Daily Mail, but the Age ran it for about ten minutes as their leading story before it was totally scrapped. Usually if a news story falls outside the headlines it’s still available relatively high up on the platform but not the Wellsy article, gone. Why was that?
France is stopping ALL migration for three years as they feel the number of migrants is outpacing the availability of support structures and housing demands. Who would’ve thought that migration numbers have a direct impact on infrastructure services and housing. But that’s not the same here is it? I mean Albo wouldn’t be propping up his support with immigrants would he?
The brother of Xander McGuire, Joe has leapt to his brothers defence saying that Xander’s quick rise through the TV ranks has nothing to do with their Dad Eddie. Joe, who is at Uni in the US where he is an NFL punter defended his brother saying he works hard, sometimes getting up at 6am and that he was Vice Captain of his school. We have no interest in having a crack at the McGuire boys, but Joe, get a grip mate.
Albo’s upset! Not only does Albo not like anyone making bikini memes of him but he doesn’t like being called a prick. Mind you no one really does like being called a prick but when Angus Taylor called Albo a prick in the Parliament Albo the Almighty told the speaker of the house he’d been insulted. Truth hurts Albo?
The treasury are suggesting that thanks to the federal budget 90% of young people will be better off financially. Cool! Does that include those little darlings with the machetes? I so hope they get a home to live in, does anyone take anything these donuts say seriously?
Just when Marco Rubio and JD Vance were thinking they could have peace in the Middle East in bombs Trump and his Bad ass king of war, Pete ‘America Fuck yeah’ Hegseth! Does anyone else think the Don is becoming like Pall Bearer, aka Paul Keating, ie that crazy old Uncle who just says dumb shit out loud? Trump also has his minion of war in Hegseth with him so Rubio and Vance must think FFS when they come in the Oval Office wearing their bandannas and firing their water pistols at each other yelling America fuck yeah!
America Fuck no!
And finally Ferrari are a national embarrassment. The press on the Luce is bad, everywhere with Ferrari even bringing in the Pope to sort shit out to no avail. The pope seemed bemused by the whole event but hopefully he prayed for the once mighty car company.

NRL State of Origin is the greatest Aussie sporting event of the year. End of story. The AFL with all their wanker bolox, with all their woke garbage will never run an event like State of Origin. Last night we witnessed the greatest comeback in Origin history with NSW defeating QLD with less than 3 seconds to play thanks to a Hail Mary kick by Nathan Cleary and a catch for the ages by James Tedesco. Epic! Epic! And Epic!
Back in the land of economics inflation is down to 4.2% but in real terms up to 3.4% make sense? To most of us it doesn’t make sense but what is clear is that the Federal government plan on restoring the full petrol excise at the end of June because they basically need the money! Anyone that thinks Labor is concerned about intergenerational inequality rather than trying to solve their debt issues needs their heads read.
What will Justin Stevens do now that he’s quit as Director of News at the ABC? He’s been there for 19 years in various roles so what’s next? Well I bet he doesn’t become head of media relations for Pauline Hanson.
While the feds try to whack through their desperate attempts to fund their incompetence Pall Bearer aka Paul Keating is out again in the band wagon suggesting Albo should keep pushing for the changes to the capital gains tax. Does anyone else think that Paul is becoming that crazy old uncle who says what ever pops into his head? But hey at least he won’t go poor being in the employ of a Billionaire.
The media leaks around the arrest of Ben Roberts Smith are being referred to the anti corruption watch dog, because well it was complete bullshit the former SAS solider had his arrest broadcast across the world. You know what would be interesting to watch, putting Ben in the same room as the asshole that decided the VC recipient needed to face murder charges.
And finally the Isis brides aren’t a threat and if they are then they’ll be off to jail. So hey, let’s just wait til they decide if they want to blow anything up. If they do I guess we’ll know they were a threat? You know this is all for Tony Burkes benefit don’t you?

Good morning and welcome home to the ISIS brides! Not as many angry bearded men greeted the latest arrivals from Syria but it was all still fairly dramatic with face masks and no one really wanting to host a press conference. The question though is how are these women back in Australia? Say it’s not a vote grab for Tony Burke! But I suspect it is….
Guess who’s back? Back again…Yes folks it’s looking ever more likely that Tony ‘dick pointers’ Abbott will be back amongst Liberal Party ranks where he’s is expected to be the next El Presidente of the party. Apparently everything old is new again and who cares if the former PM lost his own seat for being out of touch?! Hey but this is the Liberal Party, the party that hasn’t been able to relate to the average Australian family, since….ummmmm…
Albo and big ears look set to change the fine print on their tax system reviews but really who cares? Albo and Chalmers have got probably another four weeks of being called liars because the media moves onto a new toy to play with. The reality about the CGT and negative gearing changes are that the government has no money and at least with these changes they might get some back in the coffers. Ask yourself if Labor were really serious about home ownership, lower rents etc…where are the financial incentives for new home buyers? First owners grant? Government secured loans? Nowhere to be seen, why? Because there’s no cash here. No cash! Here’s there’s no cash.
With Tech CEO’s being booed every time they head to a Uni commencement ceremony to talk about Ai are the tech nerds thinking let’s not wind up the humans anymore? Sam Altman, a man who seems a little shifty has come out saying Ai isn’t going to take jobs away rather it’s going to assist the world and make it more efficient. He went on to say that Ai data centres are going to become big business especially here in Australia and will create jobs. Who said Ai would take away jobs? While Nividia and Open Ai are at the forefront of Ai development isn’t it amazing what media pressure can do to changes peoples minds.
Anyone that has been out to Western Australia especially the out back will know that was it not for the big mining companies towns like Esperance, Port Hedland etc there wouldn’t be any towns out there. Since the birth of woke culture we all now understand we have to save the planet and tie ourselves to trees but not if you work at BHP. BHP it appears is quietly letting go of its emissions targets and not much is going to stop them.
And finally could James Hird really coach Essendon again? Surely not but stranger things have happened in the world of AFL footy, including banning a side.

A tribute to Neale Daniher
Go gently into the night great man
We will miss you from now until the end of time
But we are all so much better for having known you and been lead by you
While there is incredible sadness at your passing we will celebrate all you achieved and what you leave with us
Your bravery, your dedication, your courage and your commitment to finding a cure for MND was the ultimate act of the selfless man we knew you were
We hope in time that your legacy is a cure for this insidious disease
So rest easy now
You’ve done your job
We will never forget you
And we are all so grateful to have shared the moments we did with you.
A legend has become immortal
Rest in peace Neale Daniher…play on
Hey hey! Guess what?! There are 11 Victorian infrastructure projects under the cloud of corruption! 11! But come on people, the real question is, are there any projects in Victoria that aren’t under a cloud of corruption?! Maybe corruption is just the new normal!?
But while corruption runs amok in the state of Victoria Jacinta ‘Barbie’ Allan says she’s not going to fall into line on gun restrictions proposed by Albo and his federal lot…ohh no! Trouble in paradise? Allan isn’t about to jump on the good ship Chris Minns is she?
Here come the Pope! Here come the pope! Yes while his Popeness has whacked Trump over the war in Iran he’s now taking aim at Ai and the tech sector. Maybe his Popeness has seen the Tech CEO’s being criticised at commencement ceremonies and thought hello new followers? Maybe maybe not but the Pope ain’t wrong…how’s he do that?
The cheat games bombed and good. The white toothed muppet who put them on said it was all about helping humanity in what sounded like a speech from Frankenstein! Don’t bother coming back next near Dr Teeth.
And finally Neal Thompson and Vadim de Waart-Hottart were the two Victoria Police officers murdered by a demented arsehole. An arsehole who seems once again to have his name in the news…but perhaps instead of stories about him to pander to a salacious audience why not remember Neal and Vadim who died at his hand. RIP Neal & Vadim.

Knock knock…
Who’s there?
Jacinta
Jacinta who?
I can’t say because it’s before an IBAC enquiry
Can you imagine spending a quiet weekend in Bendigo and you get a knock at the door and when you answer it the Premier is standing there brochure in hand asking how it’s going. I know there are smarter people than me out there who will now come up with better knock knock jokes and memes about the Premier being on the campaign trail but this move seems a little desperate. I know politics is a little bit about cups of tea with old ladies and at least trying to be nice to the people you want to vote for you but really? Door knocking?
After Barbie had finished door knocking and having her Dad run intros for her at the Labor Party conference Allan donned the hard hat and headed for a the Tunnel! No she didn’t head back to the 90’s to dance the night away and get a hot dog from Dan, no, she went underground to see yet another hole being dug under Melbourne. The Allan minions were out in force in coordinated high vis vests and hard hats nodding in unison to the sounds of Bob the builder while Allan denied anyone from a bikie gang got any of the alleged missing $15 billion…
Speaking of people taking the piss, his great lord airness of Melbourne Nick Reece has now spent more on his travel around the country and the world than all of the other Lord Mayors of Australia combined! It is amazing that Melbourne can still be a crime ravaged, graffiti riddled, garbage filled, empty buildings shit pit that parts of it have become and yet Lord Airness is the most travelled…what’s he doing exactly?
Peace in Iran? Maybe? But more like America has realised that Iran has more than a few chips in the game and can hold the world to fucking ransom! But hey the Don will claim it as a victory.
And finally the enhanced games are about to kick off in Las Vegas! Yes apparently it’s all about science and giving athletes the opportunity to work side by side with medical technology to push the limits of human capacity. But really it’s a chance for rich people to get richer and to show that if you want to cheat you can achieve things quicker, so long as you don’t get caught.

What do Labor do every time they’re against the ropes? Aim to divide and conquer. At this weekends Labor Party conference Albo has taken to the microphone to say; “We will not allow Australia to become a country where aspiration is only for some…” Albo’s point was that he didn’t think many Australians were sitting around the dinner table suggesting they should start a family trust. He wants Australians to be able to afford a home and for intergenerational inequality to be a thing of the past. Now that’s all lovely but Albo is really out and about defending his catastrophic budget that is seeing investors run for the hills.
While it’s true that there aren’t millions of Australians with family trusts there are also not that many young couples or families who can actually afford to buy a home despite the feds saying they’re making it easier. But the real star of the Labor Party conference was Jacinta Allan’s Dad. We are not going to criticise his opinions of his daughter, but what we will say is that when you have to bring out your Dad to say nice things about you perhaps the party has run out them?
Allan is in big trouble and while she got the applause and had the room standing the Fireys out the front were suggesting put Labor last at the next election. Of course no one inside or out of the Labor party conference knew who had blocked the IBAC enquiry, Operation Richmond, but one would suggest that Labor are about to go into defence mode and nothing will be their fault.
While the Labor Party faithful were standing to attention for the supreme leader their former leader, the man who was apparently in hospital not so long ago was out on the Golf Course. So great to see Dan up and about and now able to answer a few questions…
In liberal party land everything old is new again as the Libs are about to appoint former PM Tony ‘dick pointers’ Abbott as its new federal president. Abbott will be focused on the federal party but will no doubt have a hand in trying to get rid of Allan come November. Will he be successful? Who knows but I bet we see the Budgies out at some stage.
And finally while we don’t want to see an Aussie brand fail it was a good move from the powers that be over at GYG to pull out of the US. The initial float of GYG seemed high but the move into the US was bridge too far and the group are now focusing on their Aussie operations. Fingers crossed they survive and thrive downunder.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, ladies and gentlemen welcome to Victoria! Yes folks this is the place where you can lose $15 billion and say it was nothing to do with me! It’s the place where we put statues up of people who ruined the state and it’s the place where any form of accountability is long gone.
Victoria has this anti corruption watch dog organisation that has had some truly great people work within it, but it’s about as useful as a water pistol at a machine gun shoot out! IBAC to their credit tried to hold people to account with a thing called Operation Richmond. It was going to leave no stone unturned and hold people to account! But no. Just as it’s about to be released someone takes them to court and says you can’t release that. I’m sorry but what the fuck is going on! We know Andrew’s is slippery but who is really pulling the stings in Victoria? Who or what is it because it is well past time those in the shadows were exposed and run out of town OR even arrested!
While the state government continue to run amok state based health care workers will be the next group to go on strike over fair wages. It’s funny how politicians can get pay rises and expense accounts but those doing real work can’t seem to get a break?!
Economists who currently occupy the space once held by epidemiologists are saying the RBA will hold rates at their next meeting! Did they work that out on their own? No kidding unemployment is up, the country has some of the highest tax rates in the world, Albo and big ears have torched the economy and everyone is broke! Amazing call from the economists.
How many eye balls does the media actually get on its bullshit content when they slam or praise the hospitality industry? Seriously one it’s surcharging rip offs and the next it’s faux empathy for venues getting fired bombed! It’s love hate really but gees most operators would be wishing they’d just fuck off.
And finally the Steven Colbert show is finishing in the US. Not before time I’d suggest but not if you’re Bruce Springsteen who has performed on the show in the last day or so. The Boss had no issue slamming Trump and saying the President had no sense of humour. It sort of explained why the show was coming to an end but at least we heard the Boss live.

Look out there’s trouble in paradise with the Albo about as popular as punch in the mouth. Even Chris Minns in NSW is starting to suggest maybe the feds could ease up on the tax bills for the average small business. But what does Albo care? He’s got two years to run on his term and will more than likely jump in the golden parachute before he has to face the prospect of being beaten by Pauline Hanson!
The interesting thing about the budget isn’t that the woke lefty organisations loyal to the Labor party have backed it but that the media has had a massive change of tune from budget night. On the budget night men in flash suits went over the budget to suggest this was a step in the direction but now? Yeah not so much…so we’re did the opinions go? Surely the media isn’t bowing to popular demand or a turn in the polls?
Well with the WHO claiming that Ebola is making a come back we can now add Diphtheria to the cause for concern. Yes folks while the world is facing cost of living crisis there also seems to be an underlying issue about health, what incredible timing.
Over at the NRL, South Sydney Rabbitohs player Jai Arrow has announced his immediate retirement for the game at the age of 30 after being diagnosed with MND. The prognosis isn’t good but NRL legend Wayne Bennett made it clear that Arrow while now medically retired will be staying with the club and heading out on games away. Bennett showing again why he is who he is and we wish nothing but the best for Arrow.
With the World Cup approaching Christano Ronaldo has been named in the Portuguese squad for the Cup. It will be the legends 6th with up and maybe this is the year they win it all for the goat?
And finally Karl Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire aka the two bogans will join forces on the ARN radio network to do a twice weekly show. The idea is that the duo in some way fill the advertising lots left behind by Kyle and Jackie O. Karl and Eddie have been mates for years and have finally found a net work ready to back them.
Good luck to the two bogans and please head to http://www.hoodieedia.org to read the full edition of the Hoodies Daily and don’t forget to subscribe!

Here ye here ye here ye…by the decree of His Royal Highness King Charles the office of Prime Minister of Australia for the term of Anthony Albanese shall hence forth be referred to as, Albo, King of the Memes!
Yes folks after what was the worst budget in Australia since the Tunnel was the place to go on a Thursday night Albo has again seen his smiley little face used as a meme. This time instead of being seen in a bikini Albo King of the Memes is being posted in images beside small business owners as Mr 47%. The 47% being how much tax small business owners now need to hand over to the federal government and that Albo may as well be their business partner!
Long live Albo King of the Memes!
While Albo is busy being King back in Victoria how handy was it for the state government to sign a new 40 year deal with the Lotto?! At least Adrian Portelli is up front about running a lottery for profit unlike the state government!
While Bikies are now banned in Victoria from wearing their club colours they have instead all been issued with CFMEU jackets, each with a branch listed on each. We don’t want the lads not feeling they don’t belong anywhere and where better than the CFMEU?
The bloke who oversaw the Bureau of Meteorology website roll out, the one that cost $96 million has quit his post. He’s apparently going to retire but we have to ask how did he last this long? And did we ever get a break down of how they actually spent the money!?
As we start to roll into state election season it appears that Jacinta Allan is now spending more money on her social media than former Ayatollah, Daniel Andrews ever did. Now let’s just pause there because Andrews was everywhere during Covid and while people hated him he had a lot of bots support him. Allan is spending more than the Ayatollah did and she’s hated online!
And finally while F1 is now a complete bunch of horse shit, we still have an Aussie on the grid in our boy Oscar Piastri. With Max Verstappen now thinking about getting out of the wank fest to actually go racing somewhere else Oscar is being suggested as Max’s replacement. Be great to see Oscar in the Red Bull but for the love of god F1 please bring back the V8 or the V10!!!

Good morning and welcome back to the home of corruption, lies, incompetence and government tyranny, yes folks this is Victoria in 2026! A government so bereft of any kind of moral compass that it thinks it’s doing a great job! Mark my words that when we look back at this period in our history we will shake our heads and ask how on earth we let these contemptible people run the state into the ground.
There comes a time when politics is no longer about left or right, it becomes about genuine criminality and this government should be held to account. Will they though? Well probably not because? Like the PM says when it comes to the hob knobbing LV bag holding Anika Wells, governments don’t make the rules!
Another waste of money? The sobering up facility! The centre that was supposed to house those too pissed to get themselves home is set to close next year because of a lack of use and because when it was used it caused fights and poor behaviours! Who would’ve thought that would’ve been an issue?! Moronic but hey someone got paid!
Albo’s budget is about as popular as the Daniel Andrews statue with the feedback now being it’s about as good as the one the Keating government handed down in the 90’s. That one saw the end for Pall Bearer but this is Australia 2026, Albo will probably get a statue as well!
Over at the ABC they along with SBS are refusing to accept what the federal government and the royal commission into antisemitism are defining as antisemitism. Now while we aren’t going to offer our definition I wouldn’t thought that common sense may prevail here but again, this is Australia in 2026, who needs common sense!
Ebola! Yes folks as the lefties find themselves in questionable situations the WHO swings into action and declares a health crisis. For the record and before this one goes mad, Ebola is not an airborne virus so catching it is tricky! Common sense is needed, but hey! This is the world in 2026, where like Australia common sense is not very common!
And finally hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but enough with the Luke Sayers dick pic scandal. The only reason anyone is writing about is for clicks and eyeballs, so we’re not talking about it again! All I’ll say is get a life and don’t take pictures of your dick!

Well not that you’d be able to see much of it on mainstream media but the UK yesterday saw what is being reported as hundreds of thousands of people marching through the streets of London. Waving the flag of St George thousands and thousands of people marched against immigration, against illegal migrants having hotels to stay in, against inequality for English people, against the rise of violence and crime of the streets of the UK, against the cost of living and against all the things that they’re frustrated about.
The protest march was lead by right wing leader Tommy Robinson who is reportedly funded by right wing lobby groups out of the US and Elon Musk. In the lead up to the protest UK PM Kier Starmer urged Britons not to attend the far right hate speech march, that all the organisers wanted was division and that England need to unite in the face of hatred. Well, Starmer may lose his job and it appears people went to the march regardless.
Back here in Melbourne we’ve had another well known restaurant targeted by teenage thugs who threw rocks at the windows of the Prahran restaurant. They were attempting to fire bomb it when police intervened arresting a 17 year old girl who was? Later released on bail. Winning!
Ebola! Yes while it appears some of the world is saying they’ve had enough of lefty propaganda and governments what has the WHO said is becoming an issue? Ebola. Yes folks just as there seems to be some push back about lefties we could have an issue with a virus…where have we heard that before? No one obviously wants to catch Ebola but the timing is interesting.
Have the Libs in Victoria learnt about how to use social media without spending a fortune? Maybe! The recent posts from state opposition leader and her inner circle have shown that they’re going it alone and making a mark. With Jacinta Allan not a patch on what Daniel Andrews used to be able to pull off on social media Wilson may have got her timing spot on to take down the Premier.
Love or loathe Delta she was epic at Eurovision! Yes she came forth but she sang her ass off did us proud and made yet another great case for why Australia needs to be part of the weirdest but greatest song contest in the world!

So I’m sorry but what is a woman…again? I thought we’d dealt with all this crap and yet here we are again. This time we have an individual who was indeed born a man legally changing genders to female and now winning a court case over not being allowed into a women’s only app. An app that provides WOMEN with information on a range of issues from shared female office space, networking etc…so what this ruling now means is that we start again with men in women’s spaces…and I say again if I ever see one of these people trying to share a female only space with my wife or daughters they simply won’t be allowed to do so.
With this week’s budget now handed down and gone over with a fine tooth comb two things are now clear. The first is that entrepreneurial spirit is dead in Australia, ok maybe not dead, but there isn’t much encouragement for budding entrepreneurs in Australia and second, that One Nation are now this country’s biggest opposition to Labor. Brand liberal is dead, which is staggering given they’re original ideology was based on freedom of the individual, but it means that if One Nation can organise themselves they could well be in power after the next federal election.
Back in Victoria, guess what?! More CFMEU and Labor party corruption in big build sites! This time the sneaky bastards snuck it in under the guise of using a women’s labour hire company. So they ticked the diversity box and then ripped the tax payer off even more! And Jacinta Allan’s response? She was deeply shocked…no kidding.
By the time your reading this we will know who won Eurovision 2026 and while we will not give away the winner our Delta, no matter if you find her annoying or not, sang her ass off and really did Australia proud!
And finally, are we actually for real? Are we really going to allow $135,000 of tax payer money to be spent on a statue of the biggest prick that ever held political office in this state? It’s not so much the cost of the Andrews statue rather it’s going to be the repair bills that will go with it, because there won’t be a day go by when it isn’t vandalised!
15th May 2026
Down, down prices are…bullshit? Well yes they were and probably still are, but does anyone think we weren’t being ripped off by the supermarkets? Being the middle aged fat guy that I am Tim Tams especially the double chocolate ones are my weakness but seeing them hit $6 a packet was too much even for me to pay. But it wasn’t Tim Tam inflation that caught the eye of the ACCC it was the illusion of prices coming down when they simply didn’t. Coles will now have to fork out millions of dollars in fines, but while they’ll no doubt show some contrition do we ever see consequences for the people who decided to rip off their customers? Unlikely but I suspect Coles are about as sorry as Anika Wells was, until she got caught.
Angus Taylor and the out of touch Libs handed down their budget reply last night and really it all came down to cutting migration, which is all well and good but really? That’s the best they could come up with? Yes cut migration but look at law and order, housing, jobs, trades, education and cost of living rather than going after a headline grab akin to Ban the Commies!
Pauline Hanson though in her budget reply, simply called it what most Australians did, a shit sandwich. The ABC may be appalled by One Nation getting traction in the polls but like or not Hanson is talking the language of Australians that have had enough of the lies, the corruption and the spin.
Donald Trump is in China to try and keep the peace with President Xi who literally rolled out the red carpet to the US President. Trump was greeted by dozen of Chinese school children waving flags and joyfully welcoming the President. Trump made all the right noises on his first day in China and said he was inviting Xi to the White House in September this year. This is a serious diplomatic mission by the US to a country that is very much on the rise as the US loses ground. Trump will no doubt hail it a success and given he rolled up with a few tech billionaires including Elon Musk he will say they discussed and achieved much. We will have to wait and see if they did or not.
Great to see 13 year olds that can drive being given a second chance at freedom! Yes a 13 year old girl that committed more than 109 offences including driving at Jewish people to intentionally hurt them has had all her charges dropped because? She was too young to understand that what she was doing was wrong. I mean seriously, anyone with kids over the age of 4 know that kids know when they’ve mucked up and yet when it comes to trying to kill Jews with a car they didn’t understand what they were doing was wrong?! Seriously you couldn’t make this stuff up!
And finally the man who gives mental health a bad name who was seen out and about in Melbourne just before his court appearance that he didn’t attend because of potential mental health issues, Anthony Catalano, has stepped down as a director from his media empire. We just hope his mental health is ok now he’s not a company director…hiding behind mental health? Classy.
14th May 2026
When Albo, Jim, Marles and the rest of the Labor minions were out selling their budget did anyone else just groan? I mean it was a budget that showed not that politicians actually cared about the average punter but rather showed that they’re not really doing anything that could actually help the average punter. Not only was there very little to help with cost of living pressures but the hand shakes and the cheering in the parliament post the Chalmers budget were just an appalling display of delusion. It leads me to ask does anyone else think we should be making politicians irrelevant?
The big question out of the media to Chalmers et al was, how can the Australian people believe the government after they’ve broken an election promise, but really? Budget night lefty media outlets were hailing the budget as a great opportunity for first home buyers to get into the market. They were all onboard with the INTERGENERATIONAL fairness idea, cut out the investors and get young families homes, but come sun rise it was all about the lies! So, like making politicians irrelevant isn’t it time we made legacy media irrelevant as well? I mean they’re so awful and easily manipulated you have to ask, who do you trust more, politicians or the media?
While the media were asking Chalmers and Albo questions like, are you liars and how can we make it easier for you to win over voters they weren’t holding back on One Nation. When Pauline Hanson and her new lower house MP David Farley rolled into town the Canberra press gallery were out in force and had One Nation in the gun. Questions about migration, about supporters and about racism were all pretty standard. While Hanson batted most of them away some political commentators were right when they said that with the spotlight now on One Nation the party is going to have to get used to being put under the microscope.
Back in the land of crushed hopes and dreams aka Victoria, a couple of Labor party MP’s decided it was time to roll out the political prop with this one being in the form of a prize wheel. The centre of the wheel was Jess Wilson’s head and the wheel just had all the policies Labor think are no good. The stunt fell very flat given they did it on budget day but it did raise a few questions; Is that what Labor MP’s do with their days? Make political props? Did the tax payer credit card cover the materials?
And finally NRL legendary coach of the Penrith Panthers, Ivan Cleary is to step down as coach of the panthers at the end of the 2027 season. Cleary has been an absolute legend at the Panthers but with his contract expiring as well as those of several key players including his son Cleary felt the time was right. Maybe Cleary could coach Carlton? At least he knows how to win!
13th May 2026
Ok here’s the budget breakdown for people who dislike mainstream media and politicians…
- If you’re a boomer you’re stuffed
- If you’re a property investor you’re stuffed
- If you’re an NDIS recipient you’re stuffed
- If you’re a young person and couldn’t afford to buy a home on Monday you probably still can’t afford one
- If you’re a small business owner and can afford to buy new equipment in a cost of living and fuel crisis you can write the expense off
- If you’re an arms dealer you should probably make an appointment to see Richard Marles
- If you’re Jacinta Allan you can build more tunnels
- If you like to travel you’re stuffed
- If you’re a tax payer you’ll get $250…in 2028
- If you’re a Labor fan you can see the genius of Jim’s budget
- If you’re EVERYONE ELSE, you know we’re stuffed
The bottom line on the budget is that Chalmers has gone after younger votes. He’s hoping that his changes to the tax system and the hopeful end to the war in Iran will make Housing more affordable for younger Australians. Will it work? Yeah maybe but you’re not talking about house prices dropping by 50%, far from it. We’re talking about small percentage drops that will only really impact a small percentage of first home buyers.
It’s with noting that despite the likes of Fairfax suggesting it was a risky but good budget for young Australians a poll in the Herald Sun asking who people would vote for post the budget announcements suggested more than 90% of people would NOT be voting Labor at the next election. Guess who was number one?!
The budget was a whole heap of spin with no real accountability for Labor just more it was Trumps fault. So Labor lied and you have to ask what now? More lies? Or just more bad policy? No matter which one we end up with stuffed!
Briefly in other news UK PM Kier Starmer is refusing to quit as PM after the catastrophic local council election results, who said Labour were delusional? And finally Mr Environment Twiggy Forrest is being told to hand over $150 million to local indigenous people because he? Dug a mine on traditional indigenous land without permission. Now $150 million is a lot of money but it’s all relative, so how much has Twiggy made on the mine? Find that out and then fine him half of what he’s made. Not so environmentally friendly now is our Twiggy!

In breaking news this morning Michael Voss has quit as Carlton coach and it’s about time. Carlton are a rabble, their board is full of the elite wank of Melbourne and are everything that’s wrong with footy. Who replaces Voss? Who knows but unless Carlton actually look within it’ll be more of the same.
But it’s budget day and we’re looking forward to hearing how Slim Jim and his mate Albo plan to keep a lid on spending that will see interest rates come down, housing become more affordable and the cost of living crisis dealt with!Bahahahahahahaaaa! We’re stuffed! A overhaul of the tax system that will see investors keep their money under their beds, house prices tanking and more money for Victorian infrastructure projects and the CFMEU! It’s certainly going to be a big day for Labor but they’ll be the only ones patting themselves on the back at the end of it!
Off the back of the Farrer election result One Nation has pulled a Dale Kerrigan and told the Libs they’re dreamin if they think there will ever be a One Nation, Libs and Nats love fest! The Libs in part seem to have accepted they have been humiliated by the Farrer result but while some of their members may have thought there was a chance at a coalition One Nation have said not a chance in hell! And why would they?! The last thing One Nation needs is the Libs hanging off their coat tails!
In case you missed it the ISIS brides are back in Australia and today for some as yet unknown reason haven’t loaded their bail applications. The women will remain in prison for at least several more weeks but don’t seem short of well heeled supporters given the number of Richard Mille watches on show when their black clad supporters appear. It does beg the question though who the supporters are, plus where’s the money coming from? But I’m sure our intelligence agencies are all over it, I mean it’s not like we’ve had terrorism on our shores…
And finally Anthony Catalano has been given permission to appear via video link because his mental health could’ve been affected had he had to walk past the media contingent outside his court hearing. Well all we can say really is that it’s blokes like Catalano that give mental health a bad name….
Enjoy the Budget, here’s hoping Slim Jim doesn’t bankrupt the country and see you tomorrow!
11th May 2026
In the wash up from the Farrer by election there is deep concern within Liberal Party ranks and from Labor no real comment on One Nation, rather a massive whack at the Libs from Big Jim Chalmers. Chalmers who is, quite rightly, very concerned about the Budget on Tuesday saw today as an opportunity to show how out of touch the Libs are rather than going after One Nation. No doubt we’ll hear from Albo today about Farrer but one thing that did really get under Chalmers skin yesterday was Anika Wells.
Chalmers who was doing his best to focus on the upcoming Budget was asked repeated questions about the astonishingly arrogant or stupid, Anika Wells and her spending of tax payer money. Big Jim made it clear on several occasions that he doesn’t make the rules and that Wells had, in accordance with those rules paid the money back. When Big Jim was pushed by reporters though he reiterated what he’d said and walked out. It would piss Jimmy off having to field questions about Wells, but let’s get real here, Wells needs to go and soon because it’s seriously bad look for the government and with the political landscape shifting bad looks are the last thing Albo and Jim need.
Seperate to the majors though One Nation are the big news and why wouldn’t they be? They have just got their first ever seat in the House of Representatives and according to One Nation this is only the beginning, but what now for the ABC and Sky News? The lefty ABC hates One Nation and the good folk over at Sky News are wondering which right wing party they now need to be supporting, but I suppose they’ll wait to hear from New York!
Over in the UK Labour Party insiders are demanding that Sir Kier Starmer resigns as PM and really, you’d have to suggest his position is almost untenable given the local council results. Regardless of what Starmer does though, Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK is having his moment in the sun. With former SAS solider, author and TV personality, Ant Middleton wanting to run for Lord Mayor of London at the next election you’d have to suggest that the two party system in the UK is dead and buried. Will it happen here? I wouldn’t be betting against it any time soon.
And finally with One Nation the talk of the town it appears that Nationals party MP Colin Boyce could be heading for Team Pauline. Why wouldn’t he? The coalition is at the moment doomed so who else is there to try and take on Albo? The only question is, who else is going to make the move to One Nation? This really is just the beginning…
10th May 2026
Good morning and welcome to the Sunday Hoodies and let’s kick things off with announcing that Anika Wells is sorry! Sorry she got caught! She’s also really sorry that she wore a designer outfit and a carried a hand bag worth $10,000 into the parliament recently! Sorry because the outfit simply didn’t match the handbag and she’s humiliated by what she was told to wear by her personal stylist! That person has now been sacked! In all seriousness Wells herself needs to be sacked because she’s way too narcissistic to quit herself!
But the big news is Farrer and that David Farley is the first One Nation member in the House of Representatives. Let’s put aside right and left politics for a moment and just acknowledge the enormity of what that means. 30 odd years ago a woman from a Fish and chip shop in Queensland became a Senator, today her party has got themselves into the House of Representatives in a landslide victory. The enormity of that is something that must be congratulated and is a massive shift in the landscape of Australian politics.
For the Liberal Party it means they are a dysfunctional rabble. A rabble because they simply can’t work out who or what they stand for and that they think it’s the past that will save them. That the party is still allowing dinosaurs like Abbot, Kroger, Credlin and those on Sky after dark to dictate party policy is utterly deluded. Deluded because who over the age of 40 is watching? My 19 year old law student daughter wouldn’t dream of watching and is she voting Liberal? God no! She’s voting Green! Are people with families voting Liberal? People doing it tough as Albo blazes away with more spending!? Hell no! They’re voting One Nation!
Why would any of them vote Liberal? What do they stand for now? They don’t even know!
So while the Libs blow themselves up and while Albo and his Labor mates continue to take the absolute piss out of Australians all of them need to watch out because Reform UK just blew apart the two party system! While Albo will no doubt play down the rise of Australia’s version of the right wing populist party, One Nation, the reality is that more and more people are sick and tired of the political spin and want real change.
As One Nation settles into the idea of having one of their own in the House of Representatives the question will be, what will Albo say in the coming days about the rise of the populist right both here in Australia and the UK. When he was in the UK and speaking to the UK labour faithful he wrote Reform off as populist but what does he think now?
The political landscape is shifting and we have to wonder what Andrew Hastie is up to today?
8th May 2026
Well in case you missed it the ISIS brides are back and given the charges three of the women are facing you can’t help but ask, is this government out of its bloody mind?! The charges are nearly all based on crimes against humanity and one is charged with being part of a terrorist organisation! Are we mental? The one woman that did seem to make it through customs was greeted by a large crowd of Muslim men who seemed to be there to shield her. I’m sorry but who are these men? And if they’re supporting all the women then they are supporting people accused of crimes against humanity and being part of a terrorist organisation! And what exactly are we doing to protect our community? The men there to pick up the bride in Melbourne were ready with a minibus!
The scenes at Melbourne airport seemed like it wasn’t even here, it felt like we were watching an incident from overseas, but it wasn’t it was here and the photos and the videos showed a country barley recognisable as the place once called lucky!
Speaking of dickheads, the Premier of Victoria just pulled off a PR stunt for the ages! The good folk at Fed Square had decided they wouldn’t be hosting a live site for the World Cup and fair enough I thought but the Premier came in to save the day! She saved the day after lefty football pundit Craig Foster, amongst others, said we have to watch the Socceroos together in Fed square! Forget about the fact that the last time a free gig was held at Federation square the punters tore the joint apart, but come onnnnn it’s the World Cup! So Jacinta steps up to say, hey! We need to come together to watch the World Cup, we need to not be divided because of a few dickheads! It was that line that sent the country into uproar! The ABC were shocked one of their own could swear like that! But let’s calm down shall we?! It all had to be a stunt and when those delightful little boys let off flares and the whole thing becomes an absolute disaster, you know what the headline will be then don’t you?!
WHO’S THE DICKHEAD NOW?!
As we move onto other news…Alexander Downer looks like he’s going to also have a crack at becoming federal Liberal Party president after it became apparent that former PM Tony Abbott was in the running to take over. Abbott v Downer the match up no one ever thought they’d see again!
In a random move by US authorities, the Jeffry Epstein suicide note has been released to the public. In what is hard to decipher hand writing Epstein basically says he’s not having any fun anymore so he’s going his way…or the way of any intelligence service on the planet!
Bike boy! Remember him? He’s the one who supposedly got hit by the former Premiers wife while driving home from a party. Bike Boy is suing Daniel Andrews for damages but to throw a spanner in the works Bike Boy himself has now been arrested for? Car jacking! Not only has he tried to rip off a car there was a baby in the car so he’s also facing kidnapping charges, but hey good luck with case mate.
And finally TV legend, the man who created 24/7 news Ted Turner has died aged 87. Turner was one of the good guys and was not only a great TV man he was also an environmentalist and sailor. A great man and one that will be sadly missed. RIP Ted Turner.
7th May 2026
Is it possible that the federal government have finally paid attention to Michelle Bullock and the RBA banging their heads against the wall screaming DON’T SPEND ANYMORE MONEY! As Chalmers was out and about yesterday blaming everyone else but himself and Albo he made mention of the idea that the federal budget next week won’t be big on spending, rather it’ll be about saving money. Well blow me down with a feather! Maybe Jim finally paid attention to the fact that between 2013 and 2022 under Turnbull, Abbott and Scomo there was ONE rate rise, but under Albo and depending on how you look at it there have been? TWELVE! Now yes Covid was in amongst all that but really? TWELVE? Yep TWELVE and before we get carried away and start thinking Jim has learned his lesson, he plans to bring back Covid like tax concessions for small businesses.
Good news! The ISIS brides are coming back! Now while Tony Burke is saying they’ll face charges if they need to and that the Australian government isn’t helping them, guess where most of them are going? Victoria! And who knows what Jacinta Allan has said she’d do for them! But hey it might mean a few more votes for Allan come November!
My my aren’t the Libs seriously getting the band back together?! It’s been reported across multiple media outlets that former PM Tony Abbott is being considered for the job of Liberal National President! The implications of that are huge given who he’d have on his team but is it a good thing? Abbott is a PM from an era that seems a lifetime ago and how exactly is he bringing in new voters? Remains to be seen but at least the die hards will love it.
Victorian state treasurer Jaclyn Symes was out yesterday selling her budget and trying to convince media outlets that 2 + 2 = Fish, but the only time she became animated was when she was asking his the Libs would balance the budget. She was probably looking for tips to be honest because at no point yesterday did Symes sound like or look like she believed anything she was trying to sell. Symes may not understand technical economic terms but yesterday she looked as if she didn’t even understand that she at least had to pretend things were all ok.
In the appalling case of Kumanjayi Little Baby no less than three child protection workers have been stood down over failings of the poor neglected child before she was allegedly murdered. It begs the question, how is the whole welcome to country and empty rhetoric of sorry working out for indigenous people not least the poor lost soul of Kumanjayi Little Baby? Feels good to virtue signal doesn’t it? Doesn’t it?
And finally soccer fans aka football hooligans are up in arms about the World Cup not being shown on the big screens in Fed square but really? What did they expect? Free rein to be absolute muppets again? Fair play to Fed Square and the City of Melbourne for cancelling the showing of the World Cup, sadly the minority of rat bags have ruined it for those that would’ve enjoyed it.
6th May 2026
Want some good news?! The federal budget isn’t this week! And that’s it. Despite the fact that Symes and Allan were out with their nodding minions of doom trying to talk up their latest budget of bolox it fell flat, very flat. While there were some highlights for our roads, Public Transport and kids with disabilities the rest of it was just uninspiring and really, quite depressing. Depressing because even Allan and Symes seem to no longer believe their own bullshit. As Labor handed down their budget a few hours later Michelle Bullock gave state and federal governments a massive wake up call with a third interest rate hike for 2026.
Bullock wasn’t terribly sympathetic for governments suggesting that more hand outs to combat cost of living is only going to fuel inflation and the RBA won’t hesitate to lift rates for a fourth even fifth time in 2026. Chalmers of course didn’t shoulder any of the blame rather he blamed war in the middle east and even tried to blame the coalition, which is a man suffering from a delusional disorder. If we go back to Scomo think what you like of the former PM but think Jim forgot about a little thing called COVID!
Carlton who still have Micheal Voss as coach have been fined $75,000 for the way in which they dealt with the Elijah Hollands issue. $75,000 and no one gets sacked, no one held to account just a fine…we hear talk about the AFL wanting to support mental health and have a round dedicated to it when really before that conversation takes place they should be told to take their heads out of their arses! The AFL have announced that clubs will be required to have mental health professionals on staff and hold clubs to better account when it comes to the mental well being of players, but a fine for allowing a player with obvious issues to take the field? The AFL have some way to go before anyone believes they are serious about the ever increasing issue of mental health.
While Chalmers, Albo and Allan were all out trying to say the state of the economy is Trumps fault Chris Bowen was out saying that the Green agenda he’s been promoting is working! I’m sorry but is Chris on meth? Because Bowen has seen EV sales go up as Trump tries to blow up the Middle East he thinks it’s because of his green agenda! No you muppet! It’s because petrol is insanely expensive and cost of living is through the roof thanks to your government! What Bowen should be thinking about is what to do with the batteries that come out of EV’s when they’re last their use by date!
And finally the Met Gala was held yesterday. With Jeff Bezos now heavily involved with it some stars stayed away, but those that went reinforced the premise that most celebrities that do attend are delusional wankers with absolutely no comprehension of reality…but we kind of knew that already.
5th May 2026
Well good morning and welcome to budget day, Victorian style and a healthy dose of financial accountability RBA style! Yes folks today in one corner we have the state government of Victoria suggesting that a $199 billion debt is not all that bad but who will be reminded by the RBA that it’s actually catastrophic! A rate rise today will no doubt be nothing to do with Labor at state or federal level and just be something else that they’ll be blaming someone else for. While it’s true that Donald Duck, sorry, Trump should wear a good portion of the blame it’s not all on him and Labor needs to face facts, stop spending bloody money!
As Albo shakes hands with everyone in Asia it’s hard not to think that the AUKUS deal could be about to hit the skids and why wouldn’t it?! The reality, especially of late, is that the US isn’t really anyone’s friend and isn’t doing anything to help the world function. On the other hand you have China, loved by Australian politicians and who is dominating manufacturing here in the land down-under. China, Japan and Singapore have all been closer allies to Australia than the US has of late so why exactly are we building submarines to protect our trade routes from our closest trading partners and let’s face it, allies?
The Endeavour group CEO, Jayne Hrdlicka has announced that the food and beverage company has to find $100 million in savings across its businesses. Hrdlicka has said in corporate speak the company needs simplification of process, more efficient productivity and that it needs general operating efficiencies. That translates into, we’re going to slash costs and a lot of their staff are getting sacked! When it comes to their pubs what Endeavour have failed to realise is that despite the need for cuts they’re in the people business. Yes there must be operating efficiencies but imagine if they just focused on people? But hey when corporations care about people?
After a five week layoff off thanks to war in the Middle East F1 has returned and landed in Miami where the utter wank also returned. Yes the Italian wunderkind won the race but gees F1 is a far cry from what it used to be. Bring back the V10’s for god sake!
And finally Abbie Chatfield has been officially knocked back as the replacement to Kyle on ARN. While Abbie has missed out her post on social media about it is actually quite distressing. This is a young woman who has put herself out there with strong opinions on a range of highly controversial topics for which she should be commended but now would appear her mental health is being affected. Her post about missing out on the ARN job have attracted some astonishingly awful comments and you have to ask why? Are people so bereft of compassion or empathy even for people they disagree with? Abbie needs to get the hell off social media for a while and get back in touch with what matters and what does not. Here’s hoping she’s ok.
Enjoy the RBA announcement, have a hearty laugh at the Allan Labor government budget and we shall see you tomorrow!
4th May 2026
Good morning and welcome to Monday! Let’s kick things off by reminding everyone that One Nation didn’t have a candidate in the seat of Nepean at the last state election in 2023. What that means is yes, the Libs have seen a swing away from them with some of their votes going to One Nation but let’s face facts people One Nation aren’t going to be dictating who wins the state election in November. Yes they will unquestionably have some influence but the reality is it’s a race in two, liberal and Labor. The Libs must do a deal on preferences with One Nation but Labor are cooked and there are a lot of very nervous people out there trying to suggest that One Nation could help Labor stay in power. Unless the Libs blow themselves up between now and November it’s over for Labor.
The RBA meets this week and while we all seem to be expecting the inevitable rate hike we are also looking at Stagflation but it won’t be Albo’s fault that’s for sure! Won’t be Jim Chalmers fault either as he’s happy to blame Trump for pretty much everything…
Police are baffled by the fire bombings on hospitality venues across Melbourne and are struggling to find a reason for them. Really? Come on now boys, why don’t you get liquor licensing to do a check on house spirits in bars in Melbourne. See who’s selling illegal booze and go from there. While liquor licensing are doing their thing maybe the federal government can have a look at wholesale liquor prices because while fire bombing is a crime what retailers and hospitality venues are being charged is legal extortion.
With the advent of Ai in film making and script writing the Oscars have said they will not be allowing any movie made with Ai to be nominated for an award nor will the academy allow any movie script using Ai to be nominated. Ben Affleck just sold his Ai movie making studio for a hundred million or so but what the plans are now, who knows.
The Ryan Reynolds and that other dude story of promotion is over. Wrexham once a team in the lowest division of English football have just missed out on a playoff spot to get into the English Premier League. Wrexham came so close to finishing 6th but were beaten by Middlesbrough who themselves will now play for promotion to the EPL. Wrexham are an unbelievable story and will no doubt next season make another go at making it to the top flight of English football.
And finally what does Michael Voss have over the Carlton powers that be?! I mean seriously what does the man have to do to actually get sacked?! They are new level crap and yet Voss seems to be able to keep his job, but hey this is the AFL after all. It’s odd though isn’t it…Guerra gets sacked as CEO with Melbourne doing well and Voss keeps his job based on who he’s mates with. Oh what a tangled web…
3rd May 2026
So the Libs keep Nepean and while there’s a bit to digest with the results Jacinta Allan and her Labor colleagues will now be reasonably nervous about what could happen at the November state election. Although Labor didn’t run a candidate in Nepean there was a lot of talk of the by election being a test case for the Libs and One Nation. While there was unquestionably a swing away from the Libs to One Nation there wasn’t a massive shift and what it means is that people are indeed still seeing the Libs as the only genuine alternative. Can Wilson and her Liberal team capitalise on the result in Nepean? It remains to be seen but this result showed that Labor are now in deep trouble.
Channel 9! Are axing jobs and it’s not because of Ai rather it’s because of slipping ratings, lower advertising revenue and over paid talent, or lack of it. Nine are dropping the hammer to cut costs and given free to air TV is struggling you have to wonder how much longer power brokers at Nine will fund a dying industry?
Fuel pain looks set to return thanks again to Trump who seems hell bent on torching the global economy. Does anyone actually think Iran could make a nuclear weapon!? Trump is showing what global incompetence really looks like and the sooner Albo grows a pair and tells Trump where to shove AUKUS the better!
Speaking of Albo, he’s a year into his second term and he’s been off to modelling school again for a shoot with the Guardian. If you get a chance jump online to see Albo’s photos attached to the article. You have to wonder why Albo cares so much about how he looks in these utterly ridiculous photos, but hey, he’s a man of the people! Despite some conjecture Albo would lack it in and head for the retirement village with the Missus he’s not going anywhere and plans to contest the next election, yippeee, ugh.
Australia is being warned (again) that Ai is coming for our jobs! In 2025 more than 400,000 white collar jobs in the US alone were lost thanks to Ai and Australia is in danger of facing the same issue. Will it happen? Maybe, but at every point in human history when industrial revolution has taken place mankind has adapted so I don’t think we should be letting tech billionaires we should be adopting universal basic income any time soon.
And finally, why do we elect politicians incapable of doing the jobs they were elected to do? I mean the federal government have again outsourced their planning and development this time to Deloitte. The feds have asked Deloitte to come up with a plan for national childcare. Now I can’t imagine Deloitte doing anything on the cheap so the tax payer is paying but why are we allowing this again? Imagine the money we could save if we made it law that to become a piss taking politician you actually needed some real qualifications or experience in the private sector! It’s seems ridiculous to outsource a government plan to the private sector, especially a Labor one!

Virginia Bell the woman appointed to oversee the Royal Commission into antisemitism has handed down her initial recommendations, fourteen of them with five redacted. The bottom line of nine public recommendations is that we need more security at Jewish events, we need better counter terrorism planning and we should have less guns. The Royal commission will raise some very painful memories for a lot of people and as much as we do indeed need it, hindsight isn’t going to bring anyone back. We can only hope that the government, the police, the intelligence agencies and society at large learns from the horror that was Bondi. Ms Bell has a huge task ahead but one that needs to be undertaken.
The Herald Sun hit a new low yesterday showing that stalking people through the streets can get them a headline. Anthony Catalano was photographed talking to former Lord Mayor of Melbourne Robert Doyle outside an Albert Park bottle shop. While Catalano is indeed facing numerous charges photographing him with the ex Lord Mayor isn’t news nor has it any kind of relevance to the issues Catalano has on his plate, but hey it got eye balls and that’s what matters.
Well done Albo and Tony Burke! Why? Because they both quit? No because both men have doubled down on their stand that they’re not going to let the Isis brides back into Australia. The women and their children who do hold Australian passports have been blocked leaving Syria and with the US closing internment camps the fate of the women and their children remains unclear. It’s had to see Albo backing down but this is Albo so we shall wait and see how it unfolds…
Is it time Australia ditches the US and just jumps onboard with China? The Trump administrations war in the Middle East has had catastrophic consequences for Australia and it seems the AUKUS deal is in shaky ground so while the US does take in Australian imports aren’t we more in line with China? I mean most of politicians love China and Penny Wong has managed to get more petrol out of the Chinese, we buy their products and we educate their kids, so is it time to start learning Mandarin?
Two Australian sporting icons are facing degenerative neurological disorders and possibly the biggest battles of their lives. AFL legend Wayne Carey and NRL coach and player Craig Bellamy have both announced in recent days that they’re suffering with neurological disorders. Both men have given everything to the games they love and we hope they both get the support they deserve from their respective codes. Brain injury is a serious issue in contact sports and it’s about time we actually accepted it and faced the personal and financial realities.
And finally with the release of the Book, ‘Only Food and booze’ on June 1st please jump on Instagram and Tik Tok to follow, only_food_and_booze to keep up to date with previews of the upcoming book.
30th April 2026
So Pauline Hanson got a private jet worth $2 million off Gina Rheinhart! Now I’m sure the sexy new jet as Pauline called it comes with some fairly serious strings, but are we about to see a complete free for all when it comes to political donations? Matt Canavan is obviously jealous of Pauline’s plane because he suggested on social media that when the CEO gets a jet it’s time to sell the stock, interesting comment coming form the leader of the Nationals who can only wish he had something to sell. But regardless of jets and whatever else political parties will now start receiving from their supporters let’s hope it all doesn’t end in tears!
Guess what? Inflation isn’t Jim Chalmers fault. Who would’ve thought? Now yes a good portion of it can be blamed on war in the Middle East but Jim! Stop spending money mate! Why? Because there’s no cash! Ask Jacinta Allan! Still while the underlying inflation rate only went up by a few points it’s likely we see yet another rate hike with Jim looking to cut negative gearing and make massive changes to Capital gains tax. While Jim is looking to emulate his hero, Pal bearer, sorry, Paul Keating, the CBA is saying while changes to the tax system will give jail some extra cash it won’t do anything for house prices. That’s not stopping Jim though because he has a new phrase to run around the country with…are you ready?
INTERGENERATIONAL FAIRNESS.
Best get used to hearing more about INTERGENERATIONAL FAIRNESS in the coming months! I wonder how much it cost the taxpayer for a marketing company to come up with that one?
While Paul Guerra considers legal action against the Melbourne football club and while some people are saying Guerra was indeed rubbish what happened to communication? The Melbourne Football at their press conference suggested there had been numerous issues that made them think they’d made a mistake but if the AFL and the clubs are so modern in their thinking did no one think to call Guerra into a meeting and say hey how’s it going? Or we have concerns? Guerra isn’t a dummy but was he just so rubbish that the club said we can’t even talk to him? Or was there something else? Be interesting to see what the court case brings if it gets that far.
King Charles at the White House? Really? In the NFL the player taken last in the draft every year is called; Mr Irrelevant! And really the King might still be able to demand posh dinners and red carpets but Royals? Really? In 2026! I think Harry and Meghan have more relevance than the Mummy’s boy currently doing the rounds of the US.
29th April 2026
Well it’s obvious Paul Guerra is a decent human being and not really a member of the AFL boys club, if he had been there’s every chance he’d still be president of the Melbourne Football Club. Guerra was sacked yesterday after less than a year in the top job for as yet reasons unknown. From an outsider perspective it’s hard to understand why you’d sack a president who got the coaching choice right and oversees a team with a 5 and 2 record but this is the AFL we’re talking about. Here’s hoping Guerra finds a role he’s actually appreciated in next time round.
Don’t Anika Wells and Albo love mainstream media! Albo and Wells have told Google, Meta and Tik Tok they’re going to have to pay for news content and start paying taxes! It’s in an attempt by the federal government and mainstream media outlets in Australia to control media coverage and to generate higher revenues for the federal coffers. The worrying thing in this is that Albo wants to rid the country of media outlets outside the mainstream thus controlling the narrative he wants out there…who said we lived in a democracy!?
Despite warnings from ASIO federal MP’s can now drive and use EV’s as government vehicles. The warning from ASIO is based on the fact that China is very well listening to conversations that take place in their cars. But hey! Who cares? If it’s up to Albo, Chalmers, Butler and other Labor people around the country we’ll become a state of China in the not too distant future and if anyone didn’t think the Chinese haven’t been listening to us for decades already let me know as I have some magic beans and a unicorn to sell you!
In a geopolitical issue the ISIS brides and their kids seem to be on their way back to Australia. The US government aren’t that happy with Australia for not taking the brides sooner given they are closing the detention camp in Syria but to Albo’s credit he’s been saying if you make your bed you lie in it. Still even though Albo isn’t keen guess who is? Jacinta Allan! Yes Allan is happy for the ISIS brides to be settled somewhere in Victoria! Those Muslim votes are valuable no matter how you get them!
And finally with inflation data out today best hang on to your extra pennies because the RBA look set to start belting Australians with more interest rate rises. We can’t blame Albo for all the inflation data given the Trump effect but Albo and Chalmers must now absolutely stop spending money!
28/4/2026
So pot holes do matter after all. How many pot holes are there in Victoria? How many have been fixed or covered up of late? Well not many but guess what?! Jacinta Allan has some found the money to fix all the pot holes in Victoria! Anyone would think there’s an election coming up! How stupid do politicians think people are! I mean really yes it’s great to get the pot holes fixed but are we for real here? How come they couldn’t be fixed the night a dozen or so cars belted into pot holes on the Frankston Freeway? Where was the money to fix them then? Not an election year! What a joke…anyone want to be most of them don’t get fixed?!
In a supportive move for all that is caring and loving in the CFMEU, Mark Irving the man appointed by Albo to clean up the unions has quit. Irving has sited a number of reasons for his resignation including his health and that he has a 24 hour guard after threats were made against him. Irving is also saying that he has done what he was asked to do and now feels the roles needs someone that has a deeper understanding of the unions and can build it for the long term. Is Irving bailing on the impossible job? Who knows but you can’t help but think the job is far from done.
MELBOURNE IS SAFE! MELBOURNE IS SAFE! SAFFEEEEEEEE! MELBOURNE IS SAFE!
I heard someone on a podcast recently suggest that some people will tell themselves a lie is true over and over again and ultimately end up believing the lie…but such is the stand the City of Melbourne, the ABC and the state government is taking on Melbourne being safe. But just to burst their bubbles a little bit, there was another attempted fire bombing in Melbourne yesterday and in Bentleigh and man was hailed a hero for? Catching a 16 year old that tried to? Break into the man’s house! Safe! Melbourne is safe!
So the Libs have come out and said there are no deals being done with One Nation and Jacinta Allan is back on track to win the election! Well the idea of the Libs actually winning the election couldn’t possible last more than 24 hours now could it!
A report over the weekend has suggested Albo may not see his term out as PM! I mean go and enjoy your well earned life time tax payer pension Albo but who was suggested as his replacement? Mark Butler! Not sure anyone checked that little side bit of information with Jim Chalmers…
And finally Sabastian Sawe has run and won the London marathon in under two hours! In what is one of the greatest human achievements Sawe ran at a pace barely comprehensible by anyone let alone world class runners. The two hour barrier was broken by Kipchoge at 1.59.40 as part of a promotional event but his record wasn’t official, this run by Sawe was and he goes down as the first man ever to run under two hours with an official time of 1.59.30! Extraordinary!
27/4/2026
You have to give it to Trump. The man can literally be shot at and front up to a press conference hours later basically saying, hey what can you do?! Yesterday yet another deranged individual thought he could get past the secret service and armed police to take a shot at Trump. He couldn’t and is now in police custody for some time but how many more of these attempts on Trump’s life going to be? The VP JD Vance was like the President whisked away very quickly having no time to look back rather being physically lifted out of his chair by the secret service and taken to safety.
The world has never seen these type of assassination attempts up close and personal but no matter the view we don’t want to see anyone killed on CNN.
Finally, could Victoria be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?! It’s been a big day in liberal party announcements and this latest one is going to upset Labor more than anything! Why? Because this could well be the one that finally sinks Allan. The Libs are going to preference One Nation in the Victorian election. Now this will send Labor absolutely mental because they’ll know how bad things could now go but the play book will be, the Libs are now officially a racist right wing bunch of bigots. Mark my words Allan will be out today trying to blow the Libs apart with accusations of racism, bigotry and extremism because she knows she’s in deep trouble.
Despite the Libs doing a deal with one nation it hasn’t stopped Allan giving away yet more money to voters! This time it’s a rebate on registration payments! Awesome! More debt she can’t pay for! Although Allan has said the upcoming budget has got it all sorted and that debt is going down. And we have a new range of magic beans and a unicorn to sell!
More fire bombings and the police are saying they’ve got no idea why it’s happening given mo extortion demands have been made in any of the venues as yet. Now while that may be true I’ll do a nudey run through Melbourne if the police have zero idea about who or what groups are potentially behind these fire bombings.
And finally Abbie Chatfield is being talked about as a replacement to Kyle and Jacki O. Abbie isn’t shy in her opinions and gees if ARN like a bit of drama then Abbie will be the person to take their ratings to a whole new level!
26th April 2026
ANZAC Day has come and gone for another year and while there were a small number of dickheads ready to boo and spray graffiti you can’t help but ask, is ANZAC Day the day to move Australia Day to? ANZAC Day is the day we can celebrate being Australian and remember the fallen who gave their lives for us. Given we can’t seem to ever agree on a date on which we can celebrate being Australian maybe one of our most solemn dates is it?
While the country came together to remember the fallen there were also an overwhelming number of people standing with Ben Roberts Smith. Smith who gave his own address to the country about being a proud soldier has, for the most part, the country on his side which begs the question, how important are those Muslim votes and will the BRS ever really get to court?
In case you didn’t know, MELBOURNE IS SAFE! Yes despite record home invasions, record crime rates, violence, machete attacks and now fire bombing of hospitality venues across the city MELBOURNE, is safe! When do we get real? When do we say let’s knock off the spin and let’s get real! Real solutions, real punishments and real support for businesses and people feeling the effects of these outrageous crimes!
Over on Chapel Street, the place that was once THE shopping strip of Melbourne and the place that some of the best hospitality venues in the country were found is also fighting crime! While Chapel Street is also dealing with violence it’s also having to contend with shop lifting! Yes the street that was once home to the trendiest boutiques in the country is now beholden to serial shop lifters and criminals who face few consequences for their actions. Again, when do we get real and actually do something about how bad things have got?!
So EV’s are the future of Taxis are they? Awesome! But what happens when the computers fail and the self driving EV’s stop in the middle of the road, unable to move! Well it’s a bit of an issue because that’s what happened in parts of China recently when their Ai Self driving taxis malfunctioned leaving traffic chaos on Chinese roads. When will humans learn that simply handing control over to ai and robotics is a terrible idea?!
And finally Collingwood legend, Scott Pendlebury at the age of 38 has proven once again that age is but a number. Pendlebury had 43 touches in the ANZAC Day game against Essendon and won himself another ANZAC medal for best player on the ground. Later this year the Collingwood legend takes the VFL/AFL games record and at this rate you have to wonder is he Australia’s answer to the NFL legend Tom Brady? Time will tell but Pendlebury isn’t slowing down that’s for sure.
25th April 2026
Hoodies will never shine a light on those that disrespect this country and those that fight for it so our advice to mainstream media outlets that do and do it for clicks and eyes balls…
DO NOT GIVE THESE BASTARDS A VOICE!
At the going down of the sun we will always remember them, we will always be proud of them and we will never let alone taint the memories of our fallen.
24th April 2026
Less than 4% of the morning radio is what Bob and Sharnel get on their Monday to Friday radio show on the ABC in Melbourne! I think it’s well past time the powers that the powers that be at the ABC actually made some serious decisions about the future of their radio division because it’s not working just at the moment.
Arson attacks on restaurants? Just when you thought Melbourne restaurants and bars had had enough of being under the pump now they’re being fire bombed and then facing extortion from a bikie gang. What on earth is going on in this town where we seem to have absolutely no clue about how to run these bums out of town or at least get them arrested.
For the first time probably ever I have sided with Jacinta Allan! The premier has bought herself an apartment in town somewhere funded by her travel allowance and her salary. Now that’s not illegal, a bad look, maybe, but not illegal, and it’s the system not the person. How many times have we seen a politician use the system for their own benefit? We’d all do it if we were in the same situation! The Anika Wells’s of the world are another story but the Allan apartment issue is a headline grabber, move on.
It is staggering that Micheal Voss still has a head coaching job. The Carlton Football Club itself is a cesspit of all that is bad in corporate and political circles but with the club unable to win games and now a young man in hospital with mental health issues what does the coach do? Holds a press conference saying he’s team is being picked on? Well no kidding Einstein! Voss needs to go, the club needs a massive clean up and the players need real support not more corporate garbage dished out to them by their coach and the AFL in general.
The Age have again gone after Ben Roberts Smith (so much for any chance of an unbiased trial) this time saying he was planning to flee the country prior to his arrest. It should be mentioned at this point that according to GBN in the UK former SAS soldiers in the UK are also bailing on the UK as the government is looking to arrest soldiers for war crimes. The UK now has one the fastest growing Muslim populations in Europe, funny coincidence. Anyway can anyone blame BRS for wanting to get out of Australia? Now the wokes will say he was running away from his crimes when the reality is he was leaving a country that had let him down.
And finally Anthony Portelli…the little Lambo guy with an attitude bigger than his bank account was oddly on the ABC with Raf Epstein yesterday. I like Raf because while he’s a lefty he’s actually one of the few people left that can have a debate about a huge range of topics. But when Epstein pushed Portelli on the details of his $1 per litre petrol stations the little fella became fairly belligerent and ultimately told Raf to fuck off. So let’s just be clear here, Portelli is a marketing genius, but his petrol deal while actually saving people money makes him millions because it’s about volume. You pay $100 to join his club you get 91 petrol for $1 a litre, but like he says he’s a businessman and he’s there to make money and money he is indeed making.
Cheers
Ben
23rd April 2026
First up, the data is in and while we have seen our readership double in the last month, our content is now being read in the halls of power with Members of the US Congress now onboard with what we have to say. Now that may mean anything but this whole Hoodies thing is unquestionably getting traction and making a difference!
Well what do Labor do when they’re wanting to save money? Blame everyone else and say it’s not their fault! Plus! What Labor don’t want is for anyone they know missing out on their fair share of the pie. So when it comes to the NDIS, guess who the government is going after first? The people on it rather than the people who rort the system and say they’re supplying services. 300,000 people are about to find out what a soulless government does when it needs to cut costs but says it’s all for equality and support for everyone.
The Libs are taking to the streets and now, like Moira Deeming making social media posts about how bad Labor actually is! Now the Liberal Party posts aren’t being directed by Baz Luhrmann, nor are they being made over complicated rather they’re real. They’re basic and cheap which makes you think how easy it is to shine a light on how bad Labor now are. When presented with one of the Liberal Party videos to look at at a press conference, Anthony Carbine refused to watch…he should’ve! Maybe he could’ve seen how cheap media can be effective!
The Port Melbourne lads who stole a car, drove it around the city were eventually arrested and charged by police yesterday…and guess what? Two of the little darlings are back out on bail with one breaking his bail conditions, before he went for a car ride and a bashing in Port Melbourne. Back out on bail? What a joke we have become! It’s no wonder youth offenders reoffend time and time again!
Former Block buyer and billionaire, Adrian Portelli is getting into the petrol business! Portelli is offering $1 per litre 91 petrol to his laid up members of his lottery company. The cost to join his members only site starts at $20 and goes up from there. Can it work? Well he’s a billionaire and soulless so yeah probably but isn’t it amazing what good marketing can do!
Women! Here’s one for you! Especially menopausal women…one of the things potentially prescribed to women during menopause is testosterone for which WOMEN, real WOMEN pay $100 for a tube…BUT!!!! If you are a man who wants to become a woman it’s free. So the drugs to help women get through menopause are $100 but free for men wanting to be women…are we for real here?!
And finally entertainment reporter Peter Ford is upping sticks and heading for the Gold Coast! Now Peter is secretly Dorian Grey so never looks like he ages but he’s had enough of Melbourne and all that it’s become. Fair enough many of us would say, but the level of abuse he’s received online for simply stating why he’s leaving or repulsive. People say that the internet gives them a voice, but if that voice is of hate and repulsive behaviours then they don’t deserve any kind of voice! Peter Ford was the subject of an early Hoodies article so I wish him nothing but the best for his new journey on the Gold Coast!
That’s it for the editorial today to get the full edition of the Hoodies Daily please head to the website http://www.hoodiesmedia.org and don’t forget to subscribe!
Have a great day to all.
22nd April 2026
Gooooooooooddddddd moooorrrningggghh Afghanismelbourneeeeeeee! Yes ladies and gentlemen it’s another great day in the crime capital of Australia! Today we have on the agenda from our darlings of crime, a couple of violent home invasions, half a dozen machete attacks on people who have been mistaken for cigarette shop owners, shop lifting and something new for Afghanismelbourne, gun cars! Yes folks we are launching the armed stolen car where we get a bunch of teenagers to hang out the windows and the sun roof of a car while chasing down anyone they think looks suspicious! The only rule? They must beat their victims senseless! But have no fear for our boys in black, they’ll all be out on bail in time for dinner! Just like our brother yesterday who had a ‘fake’ machine gun and was pointing it at cars! He was arrested at 2pm and home with his girlfriend by 4pm! Good country Australia!
As much as we jest about violence and crime the above is all true! Home invasions, shop lifting, attacks on cigarette shop owners and the other day scenes from the real Afghanistan with a group of teenagers riding through the streets of Port Melbourne hanging out the windows! The gang did also beat two other men! Good grief what the hell is going on?!
While the state is out of control when it comes to crime it’s also running on empty when it comes to money! Jacinta Allan with her new glasses and hair cut has promised $1.5 billion in pre-election spending; $674 million on trains and $249 million on neonatal beds out in the western suburbs. Plus the free transport, the half priced fares and did we ever get back that $15 billion?
At this point I must say hello to all those that have had a crack at me for commenting on Jacinta Allan’s new glasses and hair do to go with her new cabinet ministers! All I’d say to those delusional lefties is get a grip! And as an fyi I thought her former boss was a muppet in terrible glasses with a bd haircut as well! See not sexist!
Food banks are now busier than ever but with Albo handing out a $1000 tax refund to everyone surely they won’t be busy for too long will they? Pretty sure Albo’s plans are reactionary rather than strategic but as anyone told Albo the stats on who is going to food banks? 80% Albo! 80%…now while that’s a telling figure the question is what are we doing to help these people become less of a burden on food banks? On government services?
And finally with Elijah Hollands Dad posting a very touching tribute to his boy on his socials the AFL continue to show how utterly disgraceful they are with games planned in India and the US! Why? Why not just make footy better here? It’s hard to understand why the AFL can’t just focus on what it’s good at instead of what it’s terrible at and then failing players like Elijah.
Have a great day to all and be sure to head to our website http://www.hoodiesmedia.org and when you get there hit the subscribe button!

Well there’s not much good news when you stop to read about the National and then global economy. Stagflation, recession and Jacinta Allan jumping on morning TV to say Victoria is in great shape? Did we ever find out where that $15 billion went? But regardless of how delusional Allan is it appears prices for the average punter, you and me are about to go up again. This time it’s trucking companies passing on higher fuel prices to companies using their resources, don’t you just love Labor being in charge of the money when the economy is tanking? Now I wonder if supermarkets will eat the cost passed on by trucking companies or are my Tim Tams about to hit $9?! Timtamflation people, making a comeback this April to your most loathsome supermarket!
The Nepean by election is only a few weeks away and with One Nation seemingly falling behind in polls now is the time the Libs need to reestablish themselves. Labor aren’t running a candidate in Nepean so it’s a race between two, the Libs and One Nation. Now while Tim Wilson and Zoe McKenzie were at a lunch function recently saying the Libs won’t be doing any deals ever with One Nation the reality is if the Libs don’t absolutely destroy One Nation then what choice will they have?
What is it with the AFL and their virtue signalling rubbish? The case over umpire abuse chucked out because one of the tribunal members was in his car and now we hear that Elijah Hollands is in hospital? My question is who asked the AFL to become the self appointed arbiters of morality? And then when they did appoint themselves did they not think they should actually practice what they preached? It seems the AFL will say all the right things to the media and their sponsors and tick the corporate responsibility box but when it comes to actually dealing with an issue they go fishing…
Teachers will kick off term 2 with a fresh round of strikes over a new ot deal but now it’s not only public school teachers it’s private ones as well! The bottom line with these teachers disputes be they public or private is that teachers don’t get paid enough and should strike for as long as it takes to get what they deserve!

Ben Roberts Smith has vowed to clear his name and not walk away from the fight to do so. Speaking after his release from detention BRS made it very clear he wasn’t happy with how police staged his arrest, that he is grateful to all members of his family for their support and to the Australians that have supported him.
The time it will take for the former SASR soldier to see his day in court is not clear but it’s going to be a very long road but one he’s willing to face. The BRS case is a line in the sand moment for the armed forces and for the defence of Australia because if he is found guilty where does the criminality begin and end in a war zone?
Mainstream newspapers and media outlets are all delightfully reporting that One Nation is seeing their polling numbers slip away. A new poll has suggested voters are concerned about cost of living and fuel prices leading to a return to the major parties. Regardless of the opinion polls the by election in the seat of Nepean is going to be the real test case for Hanson.
While Trump continues to show how diplomacy doesn’t work in Iran back at home the President has welcomed Podcaster and comedian, Joe Rogan to the White House. Rogan along with a number of returned servicemen were at the White House for the signing of an executive order from the President granting access to medical research and treatment based on psychedelic drugs. Anyone that saw the Netflix documentary about this very thing will agree this is a major step in helping defence personnel with their PTSD. It’s amazing how Trump can get some things so right and others so wrong!
Jacinta Allan obviously wasn’t paying attention to the IMF who told governments across the world recently to not spend any money because they simply can’t afford it, but what did Barbie do? Kept public transport free for another month. So our question is where’s the cash Jacinta? How does this work from an economic perspective?
And finally, little known 24 year old Aussie sprinter Eddie Osei-Nketia has blazed a 9.84 into a head wind at a College meet in the US. The time had it been legal would’ve been the fastest time ever by an Australian. The next question will be how do we get all three of these rising stars back down under to put on a real show!
19th April 2026
At approximately 5pm last night a small hatchback car mounted the curb outside the Showgrounds aimed directly at pedestrians. That car hit several people killing one, seriously injuring another and leaving numerous others bruised and battered. The initial statement from Victoria Police is that they have a 33 year old man in custody and he is known to Police.
The nationality of the alleged suspect has not been released but what is clear is that a car has been again used as a weapon and given that the man is known to police, why exactly has he done previously to attract the attention of police? We have got serious issues in Victoria with law and order and if this person does turn out to be from a migrant background look out for civil unrest, but regardless of ethnicity can anyone else smell a mental health crisis excuse brewing? What has become of our once great city?! But hey we’ve got free public transport for another month, that’s a good diversion tactic and should solve everything.
First it’s open, then it’s closed and then protected by a coalition of countries trying to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but what is becoming clear is that the world has had enough of the Iran US conflict. What exactly was the end game here for Trump? Oil company profits? Changing the ways in which the US deals with the world? US self interest? Trumps self interest? What ever it is the world’s had enough. What is clear though is that it won’t be the US that’s responsible for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, which to be fair was what Trump said he wanted. Regardless of whether Trump or smart or not we’re pretty over the Don!
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been on the Mornington Peninsula to campaign for her party at the upcoming Nepean by election. The crowd that came to see Pauline was quite pro One Nation but the political crusader did get ripped by a number of locals who weren’t all that happy to see her. Hanson did say to the media that while she hasn’t yet spoken to Liberal party leader, Jess Wilson she is unquestionably up for a chat, to talk about the future and getting rid of Labor. Will Hanson and Wilson meet? It’s unlikely but gees the libs need Pauline more than she needs them at the moment!
Speaking of Please Explain, the AFL want an explanation from Carlton to understand why Elijah Hollands was on the ground at all during Thursday night’s game against Collingwood. Hollands looked out of it and given he had one possession to three quarter time the AFL want to know what’s going on with the player. Carlton coach Micheal Voss was seen next to Holllands at three quarter time but while he didn’t play again after the last break the AFL are concerned for the player and the support around him. The real question is do clubs take mental health seriously enough? Yes mental health issues can be brought on via all kinds of events and happenings but to see a player as out of it as Hollands was it’s time the entire competition to mental health seriously.
We should clarify that mental health issues are not the ones that you get when you broke a pencil nor are they the ones that happen when you miss a train and you inform you’re employer you need a mental health day, no! These are instances where people become mentally ill, where they are confused, where they can’t accept reality and when they don’t know where they are. It never ceases to amaze me that some sporting clubs think they’re much better than they are but then throw their players to the wolves…here’s hoping Hollands gets the support he needs.
Gout Gout won his under 20 100 meter national title yesterday. The boy from Queensland got out very slow from his blocks but by 40 meter mark he was back in the race and moving through the field. He got to the lead and switched off at 80 meters to cruise to the line in 10.21. As he crossed the line he looked exactly like the Aus showboating sprinter…it wasn’t pretty! So while Gout has won the under 20 100m he’s now got to beat the best of the world at his age group at the junior world championships! Gout is the best sprinter we’ve ever had and he will be Olympic champion if he knocks off the show boating but it’s a long road and we hope he sticks with it!
And finally Coachella 2027 we’re going! And we’re going as Hoodies Media! Despite my long time misgivings of the festival this year has been epic! So epic that Madonna has been on stage with Sabrina Carpenter! Look out Coachella! Hoodies Media is coming in 2027!
17th April 2026
What a day we had yesterday for the conspiracy theorists! An oil refinery in Geelong goes up in flames and guess what? It’s all a plan! Ugh god the internet is tiresome. Anyway, quite rightly when Chris Bowen was asked about this very thing he laughed it off, but he did make the point that we should be looking to make sure we can rely on renewables in the future. No, nothing will ever replace the V8, but while we do still unquestionably need oil it’s a finite resource so let’s find other solutions but let’s do it properly not half arse it like both sides of the political divide.
Former PM Paul Keating has decided to come out of cryogenic freezing to have a crack at Angus Taylor. Now it’s of course true that the Libs are now One Nation lite rather than Labor lite but Pall bearer is obviously still upset with John Howard given his criticisms of not only Taylor but John Howard as well! God I miss the good old days of politics when Keating would take the opposition apart with his quick wit and even quicker tongue.
The election commission has decided that four weeks after the South Australian election there needs to be a recount in the seat that One Nation won by 57 votes. The election commission is saying there are votes that haven’t been counted. Four weeks later seems a stretch but while 57 votes is indeed a slim margin how is this a thing now?
In the wake up the Bondi attacks NSW Premier Chris Minns passed anti protest laws to stem the tide of antisemitism in NSW, but pro Palestine groups took the state government to the court of appeal and have won. So look out Sydney the protestors are back and coming soon to a synagogue near you!
The age and Fairfax media, the self proclaimed purveyors of truth when it comes to Ben Roberts Smith have gone out of their way to let everyone know that BRS plans to seek tax payer money to fund his legal case. The legal case that accuses him of murder, accuses him, not says he’s guilty before the trial, but read beyond the headline and BRS is applying to the Afghanistan Inquiry Legal Assistance Scheme. A scheme that gives accused current and former ADF members the opportunity to apply for financial assistance for legal fees as set out in the Brereton Report. So yes the age is correct but really poor headline.
And finally the campaign is on to get Moby to release his performance of Natural Blues with Jacob Lusk from Coachella. Get onto your socials people and let’s make Lusk and Moby LIVVEEEEEE!
16th April 2026
Well firstly today a big hello to the men and women who criticised me for having a crack at Jacinta Allan’s appearance for her announcement where she rolled out her new front bench. Allan had obviously been told or decided to look fresh to imply a fresh start, so it was a new hair do and new glasses. Some of the criticisms of my comments were that they were misogynistic and asked what if the premier was a man? My response was Daniel Andrews looked like lurch and nearly every male politician in the country now has at least one Ai developed bikini picture of them so grow up and misogynistic? Ha! I think they’re all bloody awful male and female! And no matter how Allan sugar coats her new front bench it’s still covering up a state that is broken and now contains yet another mate of John Sekta!
Up on Canberra Tony Burke has slotted Angus Taylor on his migration stance. Burke who looks after the seat where Albo was chased out of the Mosque by so called friendly Muslims suggested Taylor was Trump like and deliberately divisive. That’s of course unlike Burke who is none of those things.
Harry and Meghan continue to dazzle and impress in their national tour, but Harry and the western bulldogs seem to have ruffled a few feathers at the AFL. Harry was invited by the bulldogs to tour their western suburbs facility alongside the people who run Movember. Harry who is a big mental health advocate agreed to go to the club alongside Movember to support mental health in men. This was all news to the AFL who had been side stepped by the Bulldogs, Movember and Harry’s team! A somewhat hilarious side step for the AFL who obviously wanted to have one of their key clubs and personalities do media with Harry, but thankfully we didn’t again see Eddie McGuire, Collingwood, Carlton or Geelong at another AFL PR stunt! Nice job Harry! Speaking of the AFL they need to have a decent look at themselves and how they’re now suspending players. It is often the case that an organisation that maintains alleged control with too many rules is the one that needs to change itself.
Donald Duck aka Trump is banging his chest again via social media and his press conferences suggesting the Iran war will be over soon and that America will win! But while Donald Duck runs around glorifying his own empty rhetoric most of the world is saying we’re pretty over the Duck and we’re doing our own thing now! A genuine question for historians, when in history has a global leader almost deliberately and single handedly destroyed its place on the global stage like Trump has with the US? It is staggering what Trump is doing and right now there are no winners, not even Trump or the US.
And finally remember the name Jacob Lusk, in fact get onto your music store and download everything this man has ever done because he is a mega star! Lusk was the big black dude that sang with Moby at Coachella and he was simply awesome! So in the midsts of a cost of living crisis, a fuel crisis and political ineptitude at every angle do yourself a favour and listen to Jacob Lusk, he’s a legend! Rock on Coachella 26!
15th April 2026
Did anyone else think that Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan looked, ummm a bit different yesterday at her press conference? New hair, new glasses? There was something different about Mrs Andrews, but so there should’ve been because she was announcing four new members of her front bench. A front bench that now includes former Rail, Train and Bus Union state secretary Luba Grigorovitch who is or was good friends with? John Sekta, remember him? When asked about her friendship with the former CFMEU boss Luba replied she doesn’t walk away from her mates but hasn’t spoken to Sekta for some time. Now that’s all lovely but is Allan for real? With the state still unable to account for $15 billion thanks to the big build programme Allan hands a front bench job to a union member? And one who is mates with Sekta? Unions are all well and good but now? Really? Allan may have had a haircut and got new glasses but it’s the same old rubbish.
Down the road at the City of Melbourne his lord airness of Melbourne Nick Reece has said he will recuse himself when it comes to decisions involving a property development company that donated to his election campaign. The company owned by the family that promised a nice big fountain in Argyle Square near Lygon Street also own a parcel of land in North Melbourne that may be acquired by the council. But I suppose recusing yourself makes it all ok what ever it may be.
Apparently Harry and Meghan rocked into town yesterday and no matter what anyone actually says if you looked at the faces of the sick kids they met at the Royal Children’s Hospital they did actually make their days. It appears the Royals in what ever capacity they arrive in can still pull a crowd down under.
Trump seems to have got his way over the Strait of Hormuz as numerous countries are about to organise a global coalition that will safeguard shipping in the Strait. It’s clear that neither Iran or the US are involved but Australia is definitely part of the coalition.
And finally I was wrong about Coachella! On one of the many feeds from the mass music event I saw Moby perform one of his classics Natural Blues and it was epic! I may not agree with the antics of modern celebrities but there are now things at Coachella 26 I wish I could’ve seen live…maybe hoodies will be there to report live one day after all!
14th April 2026
After the world saw Artemis II splash down in the Pacific Ocean and humanity saw an opportunity for profound and unified change we have been brought back to reality by one Donald J Trump.
If people ever wanted clarification on the fact that Trump is a delusional nut bag then his attack on the Pope, yes the Pope confirms it! Trump has said he doesn’t want a Pope that criticises the President of the United States which would lead many of us to say we don’t want a world leader that thinks he’s better than a Pope!
While Trump is having a crack at the Pope one of his key European allies Vitor Orban has lost the Hungarian election in a landslide. Former Australian PM Tony ‘budgie smugglers’ Abbott is also a big fan of Orban calling him, Trump with brains and while we’re not sure which level of terrifying that is we’d definitely like to be a fly on the wall if the three of them ever got together for a beer.
Back in the land of Oz Albo has made himself a $20 million ad that shows Aussies how to use less fuel. $20 million! I mean has Anika Wells never explained how the internet works to Albo? Or hasn’t he ever asked the E-safety commissioner what she does? It seems we could’ve saved a few million by using online advertising or at least showing Albo how Canva worked! Regardless of what kind of advertising Albo should’ve had imagine if he’d used that money to help fund communities in need or given it to farmers?! But then he would’ve upset the good folk at the ABC who have suggested that the government should be subsidising E-bikes! $20 million on an ad campaign seems a touch high, do we know who made the ad? I bet they don’t vote liberal or one nation.
In Victoria Jess Wilson has gone on 3AW to say how she’s going to be using more gas and that her government will be going after interstate and overseas police officers to join the Victoria police. Neither of those things are a bad idea but while she’s coming up with ideas she needs to be driving Labor’s face in the dirt because they are indeed wounded. With Bendigo Barbie having several of her ministers quitting at the next election it looks as if the rats are escaping the sinking ship so if the Libs ever had a chance to stick it to Allan and her minions now is it.
And finally Coachella 2026 has officially spelt the end of the old school music festival. The influencers, the celebrities and the utter nonsense that is going on draws a very big line under the era of music festivals of roughing it and being packed in like sardines. To those that are there enjoy, but it won’t be something Hoodies will ever cover.
13th April 2026
50 year old Commander of the Artemis II mission to the moon, Reid Wiseman gave what will probably go down as one of the most profound statements in the history of space travel yesterday at a press conference when he said; “It’s a special thing to be a human and it is a special thing to be on planet earth.” The four Artemis astronauts were out yesterday doing a press conference where each of the crew got to give their own insights into the mission. What came out of their reflections was that not only are they bonded forever by their experiences but that they understand how lucky we are as humans to live on planet earth. The second Artemis trip shouldn’t just be seen as a technological breakthrough but also as an opportunity for humanity to realise it should be doing a whole lot more to savour what we have here on earth and how lucky we actually are.
As the world watched in awe of Artemis back on planet earth Australia saw an 18 year old take apart the 200m national record. Gout Gout the teenage sensation ran 19.67 to not only become national champion but also become the fastest Australian ever over 200m! The boy is a mega star in the making!
Back in the world of Albo and Bowen the two blokes you wouldn’t get to organise a chook raffle let alone manage a fuel crisis have spent $20 million on an ad campaign to tell people to use less fuel! Now while $20 million could’ve been used in a thousand different ways the idea of using more public transport in Victoria is all but dead given Bendigo Barbie has no plans to extend the free public transport campaign. Do you think Canberra could’ve called Victoria and asked if they could keep it going before they dropped $20 million of an ad campaign? Probably too much common sense.
Despite JD Vance heading to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran both have come away saying no deal! Trump wasn’t at the peace talks, why? Because he was at a UFC fight, no word if he spoke to Joe Rogan about Rogans recent comments on Trumps move into Iran.
And finally despite the woke lefties on Insiders saying it’s standard for the AFP to give the press links to the video of arrests it now appears that Fairfax knew the day before Ben Roberts Smith was to be arrested so they could be on hand for the occasion. Good to have friends in the right places.
12th April 2026
Yesterday morning we at home like so many across the world watched in joy as Artemis II splashed into the Pacific Ocean. The aircraft had traveled more than 600,000 miles in its journey from earth all the way round the moon and home. The craft and its four occupants have now been further away from earth than any other human in history and what a remarkable achievement.
The Artemis II project is part of a NASA plan to get back to the moon, to set up a permanent base there and then to travel to Mars. The plans NASA have are barely understandable to the likes of me, but when the crew of the space craft looked out their window at the earth you couldn’t help but think that we looked like a planet limited only by the distance between continents rather than the limitations we seem to impose of ourselves. Welcome home Artemis II.
Well, Trump has said no nukes! Now we take what ever The Don says with a grain of salt but in the no nukes thing I’m going to say I don’t think he’s going to drop them. Why would he? Wipe out the Middle East for decades? Hang on…
As Trump says no nukes US and Iranian leaders have arrived in Pakistan for peace talks. Do either of them want peace? There are indeed arguments either side of the debate but on the surface of it peace in the Middle East is at least being discussed as a possibility.
While Donald is saying no nukes and working out what a peace deal with Iran looks like Melania Trump, Don’s missus, has gone on TV to say she had nothing to do with Jeffery Epstein. Okkkkkkk, thanks for that Melania, now what really happened and who has told you they’ve got the photos? Who makes a statement like that unless there’s something coming down the pipe at them. Get out ahead of it before it blows up?
Remember when you could say, hey Wog! Or, ya poofter! Remember when words weren’t so easily manipulated by the stupid? An AFL player is about to be suspended for ten weeks for calling someone on the field a homophobic slur. Are we for real? Ya big poof? Wog? Sheila? Bogan? Twat? Fuckhead? Dipshit? I mean where does it stop? A Woke joke on a stupid level!
And finally why are we still talking about the arsehole that killed two policemen? Yes ok we know that newspapers need eyeballs on content and it’s all about clicks etc…but why not write stories about how Victoria police don’t get paid enough to put up with morons? Or talk about the lives of Neal Thompson and Vadim de Waart-Hottart? Let’s leave the perpetrator of these murders as a foot note in history but make sure we write and talk about the real heroes who will be remembered as Victoria’s bravest.
10th April 2026
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!
9th April 2026
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!
6th April 2026
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!

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!
25th March 2026
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.
24th March 2026
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!
23rd March 2026
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.
22nd March 2026
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.
