poisoning over after today horrie?

Sharp rejection of the right of the Libs. With wins to Indis and Labs, you will have to drive 50 klms from the centre of Melbourne to find a Lib seat.

Poisoning complete and extremists in control

by Fred Nerk Sat 21 May 2022, 13:57

A bit like the FA Cup result - the mob I'm not all that keen on beat the mob I can't have a bar of.

Ineptitude remains more popular than complete quntery.

are we "Taiwan Junior" yet?

In an election result which looks more like an ‘It’s Time’ Whitlam seismic shift than the baton pass from Fraser to Hawke; I note the following absolute highlights: Craig Kelly gone, Keneally not elected ... and the following causes for regret: a Lambie stooge elected to the Senate, Ken Wyatt out, and the repulsively reptilian Dutton, the most convincing evidence for the Lizard People conspiracy I’ve ever seen, likely to be the new Liberal leader, giving us an unelectable and irrelevant opposition for as long as he survives.

Perhaps more simply: a vote for Forrest Gump over Voldemort.

Congrats to the Pinkos on their inevitable Election win.

I hope they do a better job than under Rudd-Gillard-Rudd.

by skully Sun 22 May 2022, 00:32

Voldemorte as Lib leader - ugh!!

And did Keneally really get beaten?? If so, a rare piece of good news from this debacle.

Albo announces new national anthem

the futures so bright, I gotta wear shades

I remembered this song at around 2.30 this morning. Catchy as hell.

by Nath Sun 22 May 2022, 02:42

it's been 11 hours and Albo hasn't done anything as PM. Lift your game, Albo! fishing

also the sky hasn't fallen in, bloody newscorp!

Yep - KK gone. It could cost them an outright majority.

Stunning night. I am bang in the middle of Teal territory and there's been an amazing feel about the place.

If Bennelong falls, that would be 3 ex-Tory PM seats to fall on the night, not to mention that the seat of Menzies is close.

Bloodbath. Or should I say Tealbath.

wozrural still ruled by the Libs

OK Albo, let's see what you've got.

When Shortarse was looking to be the PM last Election I told anyone who'd listen "Shortarse is an arrogant turd, Albo should be leading the Pinkos".

He strikes me as a much more genuine, fair dinkum character.

So be yourself, Albo. Avoid class warfare. Govern for ALL the people.

I'm willing to give you a go. But the minute you fall into Pinko Politics (fark the "rich" and fark business, give everything to the "poor", and kowtow to the shrinking Unions), you're farked. Remember the silent majority that skinned your Party last time. Don't bow to the Left or Right of your party, bow to the people. And keep that arrogant biatch Penny Wong in line. She polarises the people.

Scomo failed the Trust Test. Don't you fail it.

by embee Mon 23 May 2022, 03:56

Sco Mo replace by AnAl

Shorten was a turd they tried to polish

AnAl is covered in glitter

"fighting tories" is class warfare

Rudd and Gillard will be happy as they will move to 2nd and 3rd worst PM

by skully Mon 23 May 2022, 04:19

We shall see.

I fear he may be too weak to stand up to the muscle men and women amongst the Pinks, but, as I said, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at this stage.

by JGK Mon 23 May 2022, 08:49

The Wozzies have rooted us again. They've allowed the Pinkos to get an outright majority. Would have been much better for them to have to deal with the cross bench.

So Dutton gets the whinger-in-chief's job that Costello quit altogether to avoid, and Snedden, Hayden, Peacock and either Crean or Beasley before him and Nelson and Shorten since, all know why he did: the first new-Oppo head-honcho gig after Govt is the last train to nowheresville. He's alternative PM in about the same way as Harpic is an alternative drink, but that scarcely matters five minutes, or five months, after the election result.

Meanwhile, look forward to a period of chest-thumping and head-kicking and cornflakes-packet-MBA 'politics is tuff and so am I' bluster so the blood-and-guts crowd have something to look at, with Mutton the perfect clown for that kind of side-show - the rest of the party all the while doing the serious yakka involved in having another, realistic shot at government in 2025.

Voldemort will never be PM material, so I can't see the point of his appointment. I suppose he's the "best" of a really shit lot.

Could have been Angus Taylor... most likely the first crook to be rumbled by ICAC, so best to stay with Potatohead

Downer was another one.

In more inspiring news, it appears Pauline will be Pantsdowned by the legalise marijuana party. Fantastic.
