Just as Marie Antoinette didn’t realise there was a revolution under way until it cost her head, Albanese seems oblivious to the social and political revolution that’s under way in Australia.

More than just a “shift to One Nation”. More than just “protest votes”. That’s lazy thinking; that’s mechanical, structural and possibly self-protective thinking.

This is not just a massive cohort of the electorate throwing a tantrum.

It’s easy to see how Albanese and – I assume – the ALP machine have been caught out by this. Hubris and arrogance aside, they have failed to pause long enough to understand the why than react to the what. Increasingly I find myself adopting this posture: stop, listen, observe, discern the times.

The response to this federal budget has been savage, unanimous and relentless. Watching the fallout gain momentum and heat has been like watching a free climber trying to scale El Capitan during a storm. I can’t turn away.

And yes, Labor seems incapable of understanding what’s happening around it. The party hasn’t figured it out. It’s not just a protest vote, it’s not just people saying I’ve had a gutful of the majors.

This is a revolution. A political and social shifting of the sands in a way Australia has not seen before.

Marie Antoinette said let them eat cake. Albanese? He says let them pay tax; let Australian citizens pay more tax on their investments than foreign entities. Let non-citizens access Australia’s first home buyers scheme and take any capital gain they may make back to their country of birth.

Let Australians carry the fat of the largest per capita public sector workforce in the world.

Let them be force-fed far-left ideology and accept the repatriation of Islamic State sympathisers at a cost of $2m a week for monitoring.

Let Australians be “indistinguishable”, in the Prime Minister’s own words, from non-citizens.

What did anyone think would happen, I wondered this week. There is always a tipping point and I’ve pondered what that may be for our nation.

Former Coalition deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, now a One Nation MP, said this week that the Bondi Beach massacre was the political bomb that accelerated support for One Nation. He’s probably right, but the revolution started before that and it has been a cumulative build. Like a wave that starts in far-flung parts of the ocean and is visible only just before it crashes to shore.

Let me explain.

It started when normal people were expected to believe that men could be women; when our sex discrimination laws failed to protect women and girls, and we were told disagreeing was discrimination.

When Australians battling the rising cost of living and the drop in real wages see Labor ministers such as Anika Wells caught not once but four times breaching parliamentary travel expenses rules and still keeping her job. Despite being ordered to pay back more than $10,000. Every Australian knows that for us normal folk in the real world, that would mean getting fired and facing charges.

It started when the federal Veterans Affairs Minister cut funding for the family of a Victoria Cross recipient in the same year he flew his wife business class to attend the races in Sydney on the taxpayers’ dime.

Albanese calls misleading Australians “changing my position”.  Prime Minister, nobody believes you.

The federal budget was the tipping point, in my view. All of the sneering smallness of this government, all of its double standards, largesse and overspending, all of it is wrapped up and captured by this socialist wrecking ball of a policy set.

This revolution started years ago, quietly and slowly. Now? It sounds like thunder and it’s not stopping. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is the lightning rod. The vehicle, if you like. Labor doesn’t have a clue how to respond. Why would it? That would require truth, courage, consistency and trust.

What’s more, this is a government that’s spooked. Why else would every minister and backbencher be energetically and publicly demonising the One Nation leader? It’s not the strategy you think it is. You may as well be running a membership campaign for her.

The Prime Minister’s legendary glass jaw has never been so fragile. Australia’s popular and sensible centrist Labor premiers have criticised his budget to a fault and have warned him of the consequences, messages delivered with varying degrees of subtlety. Albanese is fast becoming a pariah with all but the members of his own far-left faction.

Albo thinks men could be women.

He's not a homo is he?

Not that ......

Re Greens:

The UK Greens are extreme and repellent. They differ from the Australian Greens in only one respect. They’ve become the quasi-Islamist party. The Greens are not only the party of inner-city middle-class white radicals, like most Green parties, they’ve become the party of Islamist solidarity and rage.

That Islamist aspect is coming into Australian politics, too. Islamists  are colonising the lefties in Labor  - Burqa, Wong, Albo - and the Greens  - Faruqi - as well as promoting their own candidates - Payme, man. They colonise even ON - Virgo.
