Barring divine intervention, Roger Cook’s Labor Party will win next Saturday’s election.
What’s Roger Cook’s pass mark at this election? Cook is like a guy who becomes the new coach of a footy side, just after they have won a premiership.
Albanese will be having kittens if the RBA decides to hold the cash rate this week given much of his political fortune is tied to the economy and the cost of living.

The State election will be held on March 8 and in just three weeks, West Australians will be able to have their say as part of the early voting process.
