Australia's Liberal Party (which is actually the conservative Party) just got smashed at a federal election. To fight back, they've appointed a leader who was sacked for rorting expenses and who changed the spelling of her name because a numerologist told her to.

ADHD mums freeze, panic—then feel the guilt

Before being diagnosed with ADHD, I used to find my kids’ tantrums & screaming unbearable.

After being diagnosed & medicated, I realised this was ADHD overwhelm.

Here is the latest in my trio of essays on Trumpet of Patriots. This third essay addresses the question you've all been asking:

"Why does Clive Palmer pour millions of dollars into political campaigns he knows he cannot win?"

The disdain Trumpet of Patriots’ Clive Palmer & party leader Suellen Wrightson hold for Australian voters is evidenced in the rogues they accept as political candidates.

I’ve looked, particularly, at Wide Bay candidate, Gabrial Pennicott.

Go on & blow, Gabriel, blow!
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp,
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp,
So blow, Gabriel, blow!
Oh, I was low, Gabriel, low,
Mighty low, Gabriel, low.
But now since I have seen the light,
I'm good by day & I'm good by night,
So blow, Gabriel, blow!

Following my article on Suellen Wrightson, I have now looked into Gabrial Pennicott, Trumpet of Patriots candidate for Wide Bay.

Pennicott, is now a fundamentalist Christian and embraces the Kingdom/#7Mountains movement but has a very "colourful" past.

Who the Hell is Suellen Wrightson?

Suellen Wrightson is no Trump – but she’s exactly the kind of person who is swayed by propaganda, motivated by fear & self-interest, & inhibited by a lack of education & critical thinking skills. #AusVotes2025 #auspol

The oddly but aptly named Trump-pet of Parrots, er, Patriots, er, whatever is just another disruption mechanism from the oligarchy, using bog-standard folk who don't realise they're working against their own interests.
