Surely it’s their last desperate whimper
What else have they tried?
investigate the unions
use taxpayer funds for parliamentary inquiry to labor policy linked to fund raisers and family members businesses
move the embassy in Israel
decline to investigate the banks
champions of fossil fuel
champions of discrimination under the banner of ‘religious freedom’
postal vote on marriage equality
roll out John Howard
sack their elected leader
national energy guarantee scrapped
gift half a billion $ to a handful of business mates to ‘protect’ the reef
not aligned to global emission strategies
anti women culture
gave us a half baked NBN
Probably more that I don’t even recall

Safe Schools vs Chaplains.
Incidentally, where I Iive, in Dutton’s fairly conservative electorate no less, my kid’s school was recently organising and promoting a ‘Chaplains gala night’ fundraiser. Cancelled last week due to lack of bookings.

What a sh**ty stunt - open Christmas Island again because of the new medivac legislation.
They will drag a boat here to try and win this.

They will do worse than that.
They are scum, pure and simple.

Unfortunately a fair percentage of the voting public has proven to be no better. I hope at least some of them have woken up/had a heart transplant since the last election.

I hope so too, but that seems like an “Essendon have to come good this year” type thing.
I’ll be extremely happy if it’s true, but I have to see it happen first.

There’s a bit of evidence
SSM vote
Victorian election
Wentworth byelection.
It’s 2019 not 2001. People under 35(?) didn’t even vote in the Tampa election.

Remember how that was an issue when labor were in office? Well, now it’s not an issue. All under control.

They have no other viable options.
Can’t run on their health record.
Can’t run on their education record.
Can’t run on their economic record (house price tumble is significant here)
Hell they can’t even run on “labor are a backstabbing rabble” because they are currently the backstabbing rabble.
Their only plays left are border security, Shorten/unions are bad and I dunno, national security maybe?

True, and I hope this proves to be the trend.
It’s about time there was a zeitgeist that pushed all of these ■■■■■■ left instead of right.

It’ll be like that caravan of immigrants from central America that was going to invade and destroy the American way of life last October.
Come to think of it, I haven’t heard an update on that caravan since early November. Are they still on their way?

Bullshit is waaaaaaay easier to detect these days
No doubt in my mind that the Electorate is generally smarter than it was in 2001; absolutely a reflection of young people and their access to the World.
The Victorian Election, the defeat of the Liberals in Qld and even Wentworth are signs that for more of us, bullshite no longer baffles brains.
In some respects, while I applaud my generation for voting in a progressive Whitlam Government, we lost the plot and got comfortable and maybe selfish.
I am more optimistic than I have been for a long time.

Not since the wall was finished and subsequently doubled in height with added sharks and laser beams and hounds with bees in their mouth and when they bark, they shoot bees at you.

I applaud the electorate that voted PJK back in 93 after it looked like they were gone for all money 4 months out.
That was the last time people understood that Liberals, via the incompetence of Hewson, actually have NO FARKING IDEA how to run an economy.
Nothing has changed since.

You forgot trickle-down economics and the IPA. Surely they work!

The Libs most certainly trickle down, that is without question. Don’t think it has anything to do with economy, just what comes out their mouths.
