Australian Politics, Mark II

Probably in the twisted minds of the liberal leadership, going to blame the loss on moving too far away from their ‘family values’ - come on down Tone!

Oops.

Nice start Scott, a new Australian Election History record swing in a by election, … absolutely smashing the previous mark of 16%.

Might even wind up doubling that old pissant number.

WOOO, … Go Sharkies!

Turnbull has been completely unsighted, which is no surprise, his son however might have a future with the Labor party or as an independent for Wentworth.

John Birmingham on fire.

his week alone — and just this week — heading into a history-making beatdown from the unforgiving voters of Malcolm Turnbull’s old seat, ScoMo and Co managed to ■■■■ the bed not once, but on four separate occasions:
Not just voting in favour of a white power meme cunningly disguised as a white power meme by red-headed white-power She-Ra cosplay champion, Fraulein Hanson…
But also letting Melissa Price, the very surprising Environment Minister and sentient coal-fired killdozer get loose in a Canberra restaurant where multiple witnesses saw her monster the former president of Kiribati and ■■■■-talk the rest of the Pacific Islands community in a way that sounded a bit like your drunken Uncle Bob getting pantsless and punchy at a family barbecue.
Not content to ■■■■ off pretty much every island nation that Beijing has earmarked to bury in a tsunami wave train of hard currency loans and developmental ‘assistance’, ScoMo personally stepped up to the crease and promptly tripped over his own ■■■■ by flopping it out to wave in the face of the entire Muslim world with his brainfart about moving the Australian Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Israel (two way trade worth about a billion dollars a year) was stoked, thanks mate.
Jakarta (two way trade worth a lazy sixteen billion dollars a year) was not so ****ing stoked.
Nor were the dozen or more Arab ambassadors who met in Canberra to release a joint statement detailing their extreme lack of stoke for ScoMo’s desperate pursuit of the Jewish vote in Wentworth. (A demographic the witless idiot already had in the bag).
The free trade agreement with Indonesia is now in play, along with billions of dollars of agricultural exports to the Middle East. The National Party’s farmland constituents would be probably displeased, if the National Party had not decided to distract them and everyone else by floating the prospect of getting ruddy-cheeked pork swordsman Bonerby Joyce back as leader.
And that was just this week.

What’s the odds the Nats change leaders before the next election?

They’re already blaming Turnbull.

Perhaps they should have taken that into account when they decided to roll him?

Well, it is all about poor little delicate Tone.

The implosion of the RWNJs is comical. I feel a bit sorry for the centrist LNP members (being a right wing swing voter). But you just know when LNP lose the next election they are going to blame it on a move away from their ‘roots’ and of course old Tone will return as leader.

It might not now be all about Queensland at the next election. LNP will have to listen to moderate voices in other marginal seats.
In the interim, it will need more than Katter to get legislation through the House.

Stupid shower of self-important shytes, the “Liberals.” Congenital idiots.

In the seat with the largest percentage of Jewish voters in the country, they hold a bye-election on a Saturday ?

Helloooo Scumo…

Huh? You’re allowed to walk on the Sabbath, and that is the usual mode to get to your local non-pork democracy sausage retailer.

Postal and pre-poll voting means it’s not a problem for minorities.
