Good riddance to the old queen.

Scott Morrison flies into a remote country town for a photo op. He asks locals if he can do anything for them.

“Well yes,” says the mayor. “We have two problems. First, we have a hospital but no
doctor right now.”

“Right,” says the PM, who whips out his phone, talks for a couple of minutes, then says: “Fixed it. A new doctor will be here on Monday. What’s your second problem?”

“We have no mobile phone coverage.”

Why can’t Alan Jones be allowed to die in peace?

ASAP?

On things political, a learned colleague (let's call him Joe Bucket) warned me years ago that Malcolm Turnbull was a completely conniving and untrustworthy qunt.

At the time I foolishly thought Turnbull may have been just a bit more electable as PM for the Good Guys. As it turned out, he fell across the line at the subsequent Election, after his hatchet job on Tony Abbott.

Wind the clock forward and Voldemort has done a Turnbull on Turnbull. But ScoMo chucks his hat in the ring at the last moment, gets elected head of the party, and does a Houdini and wins the unwinnable Election.

This turns ScoMo into Turncoat's Public Enemy No. 1 (even though he wasn't the one who called the spill).

This leaves Turnbull with a football size lump in his throat and he has now become the Rags' go-to man for a bitchy headline against the Blues and, in particluar, ScoMo, ala Neil Harvey v the Aus cricket team back a few years.

Will someone just offer him a cyanide laced enema. Please.

You'd think he would have made a better politician then.

Meanwhile, JA won't contest Bennelong - time for JWH to make one last hurrah?

by skully Fri 12 Nov 2021, 08:35

Sydney Councillor Craig Chung might be a good candidate (apparently* has his hat ready to throw in the ring) given the high Asian population in the western sections of Bennelong (Epping, Eastwood, Denistone, etc).

The Father, Son and friend of ScoMo , Brian Houston has been booted from Hillsong where he made millions peddling religious nonsense.

Houston's father was a grub and so is he. Would love to see the legal agreement on all this.

Turnbull and Rudd - two sides of the same coin.

Sadly the electorate shows every sign of deserving their ilk.

Jaysus! Allegations this week that Christopher Pyne used to shag rent boys in the Parliament House Prayer Room.

by skully Wed 06 Apr 2022, 08:35

That doesn't surprise me at all.

by lardbucket Wed 06 Apr 2022, 11:28

Nor would it surprise if the publication of that election eve allegation here eventually causes this forum to implode in the face of a lawsuit. It doesn’t seem to have been printed in any reputable outlet.

Could not find either. To be honest I do not care what happens between happily consenting adults. (paid or not) I do not like people recording such events - what possesses people to do this? I just don't get it.

All the revelations, truthful or not as well as those hinted from unreleased evidence tendered to inquiries adds to a Salem atmosphere.

This is different to cases of sexual assault and rape.

Pyne scarcely matters these days and the rumors wouldn't have a lot of smart money on them, but it WOULD maybe explain his stupid voice

The story was that it was alleged to have happened in the Parliament House Prayer Room, was notionally investigated and then swept under the carpet. Leaving the tawdry elements aside, the breach of PH security by a Cabinet Minister in a Defence Portfolio, is a very big deal.

by lardbucket Sun 10 Apr 2022, 23:59

‘the story’ is gutter trash, just another part of a disgusting race to the bottom, smears everywhere.

‘Swept under the carpet’ might actually be ‘malicious scuttlebutt, not a shred of evidence’?

Easy target I guess. Straight from the ‘If you see a head, kick it’ school.

To return briefly to the topic of stupid voices....just seen the first ALP ad for the new circus, and the Albo dulcets are not going to help his party get elected, unless there's been secret polling to suggest Australians want a leader and international shop-frontage who sounds like the Coodabeens 'Sauce from Sea Lake'. FFS man, stop WHINING!!!!

Agree - the ALP should just be playing clips of Scummo from the last 3 years:

It's not a race
I don't hold a hose mate
etc

by skully Tue 19 Apr 2022, 05:43

You really have to wonder how the ponytail brigade think.

Last Election ScoMo said fark them, I'll do it myself.

maybe he can give us some costed, sensible policies too

regardless it feels like we're getting a minority government with crossbench wackos, so that's just as bad as the party you dislike winning.

by skully Wed 20 Apr 2022, 21:29

Can't see it, Nath.

ScoMo had far too may hiccups during this current term for the great unwashed to elect him again.

I just can't see another 2019 Miracle. Albo is not the arrogant Shortarse and will not make the same campaign mistakes.

by lardbucket Wed 20 Apr 2022, 21:58

Neither Labor nor Liberal seem remotely likely to win this election in their own right. We’re headed for 30/35/35 % (ALP/Lib/others) primary territory at this election, and a hotchpotch of sincere independents, Greens, Trojan Horses and madmen will determine supply.

by skully Wed 20 Apr 2022, 22:29

I reckon the Pinkos will get home on the back of WA and SA votes.
