Senior members of the federal government and opposition are preparing for a 2021 election, with October or November shaping as the most likely month for the first COVID-19 national poll.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday "2022’s the election year, that’s when it’s due, [there is] too much to do this year. This year is about jobs, and that’s where my focus is". "The PM is keeping his cards close to his chest, but he has sent signals. The justification for an election will have to be solid because of the pandemic, but there are meetings of federal and state directors underway".
The Prime Minister played down the prospect of 2021 election during a meeting of Coalition MPs late last year.On the Labor side, a similar view has developed about the likelihood of an election towards the back end of 2021. Therefore, he predicted, "Morrison wants it this year, and he'll decide around budget time [in May]. I think it will be October or November".

'This has all the hallmarks of the world's next major military drama' | Sky News AustraliaThere is something unfolding which has “all the hallmarks of the world’s next major military drama,” says Sky News host Chris Smith. \n\n“Well what a week it's been for this standoff between China and Taiwan, which we cannot ignore, and neither can the United States,” Mr Smith said. \n\n“From the week Joe Biden was inaugurated, Beijing has ratcheted up their claim to territory in the South China Sea, and of course Taiwan, beyond what we've ever seen since they split”. \n\n“It is a clear challenge to the US.\n\n“And if the United States does do something about it, we will be part of that conflict.” \n\n“With the Biden administration stating recently, that their commitment to Taiwan was rock solid, this has all the hallmarks of the world's next major military drama … and that's way too close to us, for comfort,” Mr Smith said. \n I hope you don't expect young people in this country to defend it when it basically treats us as indentured servants for boomers. CCP rule might be an improvement. Can we get Trump back asap. Apparently they used an American Carrier for a simulated target practice can anyone confirm?
