Commonwealth of Australia July to December 2023.

- Abstract
The article provides an overview of the political and economic challenges faced by the Albanese government in Australia from July to December 2023. While initially having a majority in the lower house, the government faced criticism for breaking election promises and neglecting economic management and national security. Rising inflation, increasing mortgage rates, and a slowing economy also caused concern among the public. The article highlights the failure of a referendum on Indigenous recognition in the Constitution, citing concerns about enshrining one group and lack of consultation. It briefly mentions other political events, such as by-elections, resignations, and the government's limited support for Ukraine. The text concludes by mentioning the High Court's decision to release criminal illegal migrants, which sparked public outrage, and a drop in opinion polls for the Labor government.
