Trouble in Aus State Politics

He drives a Tesla and loves cricket, so he can't be that bad for a Blue.

Meanwhile the dubber country party has elected another Tool as its leader.

Report in today's fish-wrappers that Morro once called the new Dubber-in-Chief a 'f@#$wit'.

No details re context, and no idea whether Our Esteemed Leader has since denied resorting to such unseemly language. But assuming the report is true, I find it hard to believe that is a word he would be moved to use easily. So, if Scomo calls you a f@#$wit, it is all the more likely that you are indeed a f@#$wit.

Takes one to know one, and all that.

Meanwhile, the new Premier has made Tanya Plibersek's husband - Michael Coutts-Trotter - his new Secretary of Premier and Cabinet.

Legendary Vic Opposition blowhard and new deputy leader Dim Tim Smith has blown too hard into the breatho tube, ridding the roads (but unfortunately not Society as a whole) of his menace for the next twelve months. After 17 and a half minutes (approx) back in the chief whinger's gig, Matt Guy has his first re-shuffle to negotiate.

It is rumored that Tim tried to give a false name to police to stall the investigation, but the only alternative monicker he could come up with was 'Smith'.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer farkwit.

Meanwhile, Gladys' car crash performance in front of ICAC has probably rendered her post politics Board career over before its begun.

Aye, she went the tried and trusted "I can't recall" approach.

Big clear-out in Spring Street - Merlino, Martin Foley, Martin Peculiar & Lisa Neville all packing their bags, Lisa citing health issues (she has chronic Crohns, which probably explains that permanently irritated persona). Matt Guy Fawkes mutters about the need for a new Govt - with that big a reshuffle coming, we've practically got one!

McClown is a dick head

Scarcely constitutes news I'dathunk....

He looks far too much like Major Frank Burns

I posted in the wrong thread so I replaced my text with an obvious observation of Marky Mark

would still prefer it without Dan.

And to quote Deep Purple:

DAN DAN DAN, DAN DAN DA DAN, DAN DAN DAN DA DANDAN....

FMD the Liberals are useless at leadership and campaigns. everyone knew that already though.

Lol Libs look likely to suffer a net loss of seats. 

Labs to lose a couple to the Greens but maintain a comfortable majority.

Libs close to terminal freefall.

NSW Premier apologises for wearing Nazi uniform at his 21st. It's a tough time for the Brownies with an election in March. At least like Vic, NSW are not offering a State funeral for Pell.

Strange mistake to make. I note Kanye West, similarly foolish, was until recently touting himself as a future presidential candidate. Mental Health issues there.

To borrow my fave election headline from the Sidneyland fish-wrappers, the ALP made Minns-meat of Perrotet's Parrots, making mainland Australia 100% Labor

And doesn't Albo love it.

Fair enough, I spose.

but are we better off?

We will be if the Libs lose the loonies and start trying to look like a credible opposition and (gasp!) alternative government, and less like a refuge for extreme-right attention junkies.

doesn't feel like it will happen anytime soon, and Dutton is not the right person to lead

I can't believe Dutton doesn't realise that everyone (yes, Libs too) thinks he's a useless scowling qunt.

How deluded is he to think that he can ever lead to Blues out of the wilderness?
