Except Downer wasn't made Chief Whinger straight out of Government.

The Senate race basically boiled down to two different meanings of 'dope'. Not that employment opportunities are absolutely zero for PH Unbalanced - I hear they're re-shooting Fawlty Towers and she'd make a grate 'Mrs Richards'

You wouldn't think a cement-muncher like Mutton would notice. What a Snowflake!

didn't take long for the Treasurer to blame the previous government for inheriting the debt.

It's how long they take to grow out of that ritual that is the real marker - I seem to remember Howard last blamed Keating about 28 seconds before Rudd was sworn in.

I see Albo has already promised universal child care and to rejuvenate the Arts. That's just the first 2 of many, many spendathons to come.

Hmm, same old spendy Pinkos. The Covid blown out Deficit is gonna get a whole lot bigger by 2025.

Blamed him for what? The surplus that was handed over?

He's not exactly wrong on that.

Did they apply the pinko maths multiplier to the equation?

Just read about potty Scotty secretly appointing himself to various ministerial jobs over the heads of the unwitting incumbents. Even Boris didn’t try that one (as far as we know…)

A complete psychopath.

Seems a very strange story all round, not helped by a pretty lame explanation.

Still, Albo is not Opposition Leader anymore, so less whinging about ScoMo and more management of National business please.

national day of mourning (public holiday) for the Queen on Thursday 22nd September, so official 4 day weekend for Victorians since it's AFL GF Eve public holiday on the Friday.

The post-Scomo fumigation of the House continues with the resignation of Morrison fanboy and coat-tail rider Stuart Robert.
With the news breaking not 30 minutes after the Harris carking dropped, hopefully the momentum of the news will continue, and by sunrise tomorrow Trump will have made like Rolf and Despicable Dave will have done a Stewie.

I see war criminal Little Johnny Howard got Cabinet to agree on declaring war on Iraq on the basis of a verbal submission… What a disgrace.
