I don’t click links, but did that article point out to the modern-day LNP dinosaurs that the old-time dinosaurs were killed off by Climate Change?
I don’t know how many times I have posted this quote, but it is always relevant:
“We all want justice - but you have to have the money to buy it”.

The Liberal Party is proving why the dinosaurs became extinct
By**Tony Wright**
September 16, 2025 — 3.45pm
The Liberal Party has finally unlocked the secret that has puzzled scientists for centuries: the precise method by which the dinosaurs became extinct.
The lantern-jawed West Australian MP Andrew Hastie’s threat to quit the party if it doesn’t abandon the 2050 “net zero” carbon emissions target, followed by approving noises from various colleagues, confirms the Liberal researchers’ work on the final days of the Cretaceous period is all but complete.

That Hastie chose the very day that Australia’s first National Climate Risk Assessment was released, which predicts something approximating the end of life as we know it if we don’t pull the emergency brake on climate change, is surely the sealant.
The Liberals, to be fair, were granted a head start on the subject of annihilation, having studied close up the final days of the Morrison and Dutton periods, otherwise known as the Jurassic.
There was also the apparent end time of the Tony Abbott era when he gave a knighthood to the late Queen’s late husband, though Abbott is not quite done yet.

And, of course, there has long been invaluable input from luminaries of the Victorian branch, who have been working assiduously on extinction for decades now (Western Australia, South Australia and even NSW branches seem to have taken roles as assistants to the research in recent years).
But following the May federal election – an approximation of a giant meteorite exploding on Liberal Party headquarters and what used to be outlying strongholds – the work of surviving federal MPs has been awe-inspiring.
With any last hope of a Liberal Lazarus act resting on the party’s chances of winning back seats captured by the so-called teals, the decision to lure Jacinta Nampijinpa Price from the National Party, where the study of fossils has been high art since Joh Bjelke-Petersen was a boy, proved inspired.
Who but a rigorous scholar of the lemmings’ attraction to high cliffs would produce the strategy of insulting one of the nation’s more influential voting populations, the Indian diaspora?

Horrifying report paints grim picture of Australia’s future
Oh, and then to refuse an apology, followed by a public denial of support for the team leader, Sussan Ley, who is one of the few Liberals currently making a brave but very likely doomed swing at the concept of survival?
The dinosaurs, the Liberals are in the process of proving beyond doubt, suffered their extinction event not simply by suffering a nuclear winter following a cataclysmic impact by an object from outer space, but by choosing their own doom.
There must be a Nobel Prize in all this at some point.

do the coalition think if they fo manage to get in , build new cosl power stations, boys nuclear power stations , roll back neweable subsidies , that this will somehow magically reduce power prices? this version of a so called major conservative party in Australia has zero chance of ever getting back into power within this sort of nonsense

Didn’t think I would hear the LNP go after middle class welfare in an economic address.
But let’s see what she means. Hopefully it’s a start by Ley on viable opposition.
The absolute cynic in me says it’s literally just talk and will never amount to any detail. Just like her forebears for the last couple of decades

Of course they don’t think that!
They think by sucking up to their billionaire donors they will keep on their gravy train, during and after their time in politics.
Why should they bother about power prices? The morethey go up the more discontent thet can stir up in the electorate.
And of course no-one will dare to say the reason that power prices have gone up and will continue to go up so much is that the state-owned power companies were flogged off by the Libs — just so their rich mates could get richer.

Looking forward to conservative Blitz folks contributing their takes on that mess. Or do they feel cancelled and unable to express their views unchallenged by reality?

About 38% at the last election, vs about 48% combined ALP + Greens (if you want to take a broad right-left wing bloc view of it).
