Labor’s ministry of incompetents way out of their depth TERRY MCCRANN

It is almost as impossible to overstate just how utterly and dangerously and destructively chaotic the overall government of the country has become in the less than two years under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, as it is to comprehend just how fundamentally and even embarrassingly inept and just plain awful have been almost all the individual ministers.
Yes, you can certainly tick them off - if only, indeed, we had a PM who had the slightest comprehension that he needed to do exactly that: tick them, if not, far better, actually cross them, off - one by almost every one.
The minister for destroying our electricity system, Chris Bowen - setting to, with an almost unbound relish, “achieve” exactly that, in the shortest possible time. And so utterly unknowingly, celebrating, each stage on the path to that ultimate success.
The minister for taking us back to a 1970s industrial relations future - but with also, all the hyper-destructive 21st century “woke add-ons” - Tony Burke.
Has there ever been, in the 124 years of ministerial administration in Australia since Federation, two ministers in the one government that so seamlessly combine utter incompetence and supreme confidence in their inabilities?
Then, talking of pairs, there is of course, none more, well, “outstanding”, than the minister for utterly out-of-control immigration, Andrew Giles, and his putative boss, Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil.
You could almost see them celebrating the utter debacle they have presided over with the criminal detainees, about to get another stage worse with the looming High Court decision.
At least this has diverted media attention from the even bigger and far more destructive, and completely out-of-control, accelerating flood of migrants - more than half-a-million, net, last year; and threatening to go even higher this year.
It’s not simply the staggering number - almost the population of our fifth biggest city, Adelaide, in just two years.
Just think about that: the need to build everything that’s in Adelaide; and to do it in two years. Not just the houses, but all the schools, hospitals, roads, rail, power networks, etc.
And then staff them. In two years.
But the twin realities, that nobody in either political or bureaucratic government has the slightest idea of what to do about this; far less any strategic underpinning or direction.
And as for any overall prime ministerial direction or even just oversight? Are you joking? Fuggedaboutit.
I invite you to go through the entire ministry, one-by-awful one.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Burney, who, backed by the entire media, corporate and broadly elite establishment, “succeeded’’ in turning an 80 per cent “Yes” vote into a 60 per cent “No” vote.
Disability Minister Bill Shorten, presiding over an explosion in the cost of the NDIS, on track to dwarf the entire social security budget.
Defence Minister Richard Marles, Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek; on an on in their individual incompetencies.
And above them all, a PM who quite simply hasn’t the faintest clue, who seems to think leadership is about swanning from conference to conference and wearing the right hat.
Well might you lament: Poor Fellow, My Country.
