Australian Politics -- hold my slabs

It reminds me of Kitty Flannagan’s character in ‘Utopia’ in the episode where they are looking into building a fast rail line from Sydney to Melbourne and nobody in the office can find the funding for it.

“Oh, I don’t want to build it, I want to announce it!”

This is so embarassing. Why isnt there a minimum education standard or IQ test for people that are putting themselves up for election to public office? I mean, you need a minimum education to become a copper or a fireman or a teacher, so why not a politician?

Labor Need to run a few new slogans for the next election like “Stop the dopes” or something like that

Politician is the only job where you can be a corrupt, greedy, stupid, inept failure and a hypocritical sycophant and actually get promoted. So naturally, that’s who gravitates there.

Smart and successful people usually end up in private business, or doing a job they actually care about.

Seems Gladys misled her Chief of Staff Cruikshank. Tipped her off when Daryl was publicly known to be under the ICAC radar, later tells her that it was a historic relationship by the time she became Premier.
But Daryl’s evidence to ICAC was otherwise.
Gladys has always acted with integrity.

They need to relentlessly hammer every mistake and hypocritical comment made by Scotty from Marketing. Bushfires, waving coal around in parliament, “electric vehicles can’t tow a boat”, “it’s not a race”/vaccines, aged care, hotel quarantine, refusal to establish ICAC, sports rorts, car park rorts, Christian Porter rorts, Barnaby Joyce’s return to Dep PM, screwing up trade with the EU, climate inaction (still no change beyond announcements), secret deals with Nats. TV ads, newspaper and radio ads. Every interview, debate, press conference. Call out Clive Palmer and his halfwit successor Craig Kelly as well. Don’t let them get away with white-washing the last 10 years and then some lame “China is bad - we’ll protect you” dog-whistling scare campaign.

Oh, and the whole rape in Parliament House cover-up thing too. That should probably get a mention.

They should just should play the endless highlight reel of grift, graft and corruption that this government so much enjoys.

ALP ad begins

“It’s not a race, it’s not a competition”; or
“It’s a bit like that movie The Croods”; or
“I don’t hold a hose mate”;

ALP ad ends

There you go Albo, just won you the election.

They probably don’t wanna go too early - in case they replace the bozo in time to save some votes

Labor has always had reticence around the low-brow mud slinging tactics the LNP is so enamoured with. Literally all they would have to do is run a hundred different 7 sec ads, each about a single incidence of clusterfuckery that the LNP has put up over the last decade.

Morrison in Hawaii, Morrison having a paedophile as a best mate, Morrison accosting bushfire victims.

For Christ’s sake just hire me to run the ALP campaign, there is so much material that Morrison himself could probably win it for the ALP.

don’t know if any networks would sell an entire hour of ad space

unless you somehow weave them into a loose narrative about renovations or rooting strangers

If you’re serious, why don’t you ask our very own @Bacchusfox to intoduce you to the right contacts in the Party ? You couldn’t possibly produce a worse campaign than the last one, which helped Billy Boy lose the unloseable election !
