Good morning and welcome to not the Hoodies News and Views, but today the Hoodies Why…
More than four years ago I started writing on LinkedIn about blind government and bureaucratic incompetence. Incompetence that killed people, that saw businesses fail and kids lose years off their education. As a result of that incompetence we are all still suffering from the decisions made on the basis of so called science, when rather most of it was self serving garbage.
For two and half years I wrote on my various platforms about the incompetence in government. I did indeed join the Liberal Party at the height of Covid but it became clear very early on that they too were part of the problem and now as we get ready to drop Issue 14 of the Hoodies Magazine I wanted to make it clear that this magazine sits in the middle ground of the political divide. Yes I know there will be those that say but you bash Labor all the time what about the Libs etc…well that may be true but Labor are the current government federally and run most of the country but should that be the other way round I guarantee I would be equally concerned. See this isn’t about Labor or liberal it’s about the fact that politics is and has for some time been cooked.
The Liberal party in Victoria are lead by an incompetent fop who is incapable of winning the next election and because of his own incompetence we are seeing the state go to ruin. At a federal level the country is lead by an equally incompetent leader who reverts to lines like “I’m the Prime Minister” to get his way. Granted the re-establishing of trade routes to China is of significant importance to our agricultural sector but it’s worth noting we still are spending billions on submarines to protect our trade routes for those trade partners…
Politics isn’t about protecting the rights and freedoms of real people anymore nor is it about enhancing the lives of people, if it ever was. No politics is about self interest, it’s about protecting corporate interests and pandering to those who can afford to support governments or give holidays to out going Lord Mayors.
Politics is in a word, stuffed and we are all the worse for it, so that’s where Hoodies comes in. See I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, I have a wife that loves me, a 9 year old who loves me, a 17 year old that sort of does and a 10 year old kelpie that is my best mate…for more years of my life than I care to remember I have made things work no matter what, there is always a way is my favourite saying, so there will indeed be a way to see Hoodies become as big as Forbes and as respected as the New York Times, but in the meantime this magazine and everything we do is about common sense, authenticity and accountability and in no way shape or form are we ever bowing to one side of the political fence or the other, because the independence of Hoodies will never be up for sale.
On Monday we announce the arrival of an icon as a key contributor to Hoodies Magazine.

4mo"Between 2010 and 2020, central-government funding for local authorities fell by forty per cent." "In Liverpool, where the Conservatives have not won a Parliamentary seat for forty years, spending, per head, fell more than in any other city in the country. Public-health spending in Blackpool, one of the poorest local authorities in England, was cut almost five times more, per person, than in the affluent county of Surrey, just south of London, whose eleven M.P.s are all Tories." "Poorer communities, particularly in urban areas, which tended to vote Labour, suffered disproportionately."
