Dutton is scum. It’s not good that anyone has covid19 because it spreads very easily. But I won’t shed a tear for a man who mostly seems to spend his time denying medical care to children in the name of “keeping us safe”.

Anyway, the vote to chose the next Premier will be on Monday and it will be either Ferguson or Gutwein. Ferg is a right-wing nutbag who presided over a disastrous crumbling of Tasmania's health system. Gutwein is supposedly a moderate who has been treasurer. 14 people will vote (11 lower house...

No one was asking for absurd pay rises. They mostly wanted respect and were not getting any. Government ended up quietly caving anyway and gave rises in the order of 2.5% despite their supposed 2% wage cap. Could have simply done that before all the s**t-fighting and saved a lot of people a lot...

Hannah Martin, one of his key advisors, has already (well before the announcement) taken a job with Federal Hotels. In the meantime a vote of the 11 remaining members of the Liberal party room will choose the next Premier. Will be Jeremy Rockclliff if they have any sense, but could be any...

This is like when people ask why workers don't limit strikes to times when it would have no impact on anyone. It's obtuse and makes you look silly.

Yeah, I don't know why anyone would think that weather conditions affect the spread and intensity of fires. The only relevant factor is how many fires are started. The 'fire danger' index is actually just a socialist plot. Bloody socialists!

Check this thug out. Clenched fists, slight forward lean trying to stand over Fitzsimmons. I'm starting to think that when he said "I will burn for you, Australia" he was actually talking to his god. An offering to help bring on the rapture.

Merry Christmas, BigFooty

If a strong case has already been made for guilt (which you'd have to say it has here given Pell is a convicted child rapist who failed to have his conviction overturned on appeal) then reasonable doubt is exactly what the defence need to establish. What you've posted would be quite reasonable...

In general? He's not all that relevant. In the context of the conversation you were having with Number37 the relevance is that Katter was a Nationals MP for several decades. First in the Queensland Parliament and then in the Australian Parliament.

Feel that the tone of this thread needs to be lifted so here goes: I reckon the Maccas around Canberra will be going onto red alert just now.

Do you know what is interesting? Cashless welfare and drug testing newstart recipients will actually cost us taxpayers more. A lot more. Now consider the glee that some of you are expressing about these policies. I guess that's the sort of hatred for the poor that motivates people to be...

#EngadineScott got caught lying twice today. The first instance: Didn't use either of those phrases. Pretty clear then that he heard the entire question and denied saying either that he'd called Sam Dastayari 'Shanghai Sam' or that he'd called it racist to question Gladys Liu's connections to...

6 years ago the Coalition made the argument that Labor were poor economic managers because of a debt and deficit emergency. Now the national debt has more than doubled and growth figures are the worst in a decade. Why does anyone still think the Liberals are good with the economy? Wages have...

You also claimed Macnamara was a 'certain gain' gain for the Coalition. You're a clock who just happened to stop on May 18th. Congrats on your winnings though, I'm glad you took my advice and loaded up.

Done my hours on a booth in franking credit central. Was interesting, had a few quality conversations. Now to wait for results. Just to reiterate - the Liberals trying to impersonate the AEC is one of the lowest things I've seen. Should be followed up and those responsible dealt with harshly...

Liberals being disgraceful as you'd expect: The sign says the correct way to vote is to put a 1 next to the Liberals. No authorisation message and clearly trying to impersonate the AEC. Apparently up in every booth in Chisolm. An absolute disgrace.

I’m pretty confident Ross Hart will hold Bass. Not so confident about Braddon, sadly.

Final Newspoll out. 51.5 ALP. Be interesting to see if the result is what all the polls say. Never seen them all agree so violently before.

Nearly there. * I'm tired.

This Barnaby Joyce parody Twitter account is hillarious: https://twitter.com/Barnaby_Joyce

I said that in the context of a response to your statement that ideally party HTVs would be about educating voters in our electoral system. It is the AEC's job as opposed to the ALP's job. That it is also each individual voter's job to educate themselves about our electoral system should go...

That's really the AEC's job to ensure people know what constitutes a formal vote and what doesn't. Party HTVs are explicitly about how to best support that party. That's just what they are. I'm not giving up hours of my own time just to educate people about the process of voting though I'll...

Well the cards are something offered for people who simply want to support the party of their choice and prefer to leave the details to that party. I don't think it should be seen as insulting since if I'm standing outside a booth offering you a card, that doesn't say anything at all about what...

It gets better: Coalition implodes as Nationals launch their own 'below the line' campaign against Jim Molan https://www.smh.com.au/federal-election-2019/coalition-implodes-as-nationals-launch-their-own-below-the-line-campaign-against-jim-molan-20190515-p51nhd.html

We still have them in Federal Elections. I'll be handing them out for a few hours on the day. They are banned in State Elections as part of the Hare-Clark system. Leaving aside the idiotic (and it really is) stuff about 'don't these people have jobs??1/11???!?!' (I mean, everyone who works...

Liberals in NSW breaching the Coalition agreement to try to save Jim Molan: https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/nsw/2019/05/14/nsw-coalition-civil-war-molan/

Makes sense since the opposite of a Labor voter is a Liberal voter and the opposite of the Sun is not too bright.
