He was on the Drum last week blaming Sir Joh for coming to Tasmania as his inspiration for that trip.

Yeah... When Billy Moore walked down the race yelling that... I cringed... When it got turned into Queensland folklore it became highly embarrassing. It's worse than Aussie Aussie Aussie.

Chalmers would be an excellent choice but he's non-aligned. It's the left's turn so chances are it with be Albo with Bowen (from the right) as his deputy.

I don't believe in compulsory voting... Does that make me dim? Really?

Yes you're right. Which is arguably why Labor is in government in Queensland (smaller electorates)...

That's because people liked our party and were voting for us. Much like yesterday...

Labor introduced the gerrymander. Not us.

Which is why the bus was so powerful. Scomo, a bloke from the Shire, took his likeable, affable and blokey persona to the regions of Queensland. He wasn't from Queensland, but he was prepared to promote himself as one of them... as an 'outsider', just an average, rugby league loving bloke who...

Yeah... when I first arrived in Queensland fewer people lived in the capital than elsewhere... and the 'country' presence was huge... where I live, in Auchenflower, we even had a National Party local member...

Good point. It is the most decentralised state in the nation. So yeah you could be right.

Queensland may have a Labor state government, but when it comes to federal politics it remains conservative to the core. It's been three decades since Sir Joh reigned supreme and his legacy seems to live on... Last night there was only one state that mattered... In Queensland the LNP...

John Howard was a Liberal, not LNP... (he was opposed to the LNP) And remains the greatest PM this country has ever had...

Libs lift us up in Bennelong... where the eagles fly... and on a mountain high...

Well Labor are certainly getting more votes... and the overall national Labor vote will be high... but they're getting votes in seats that don't count.

I wish PVO would stop referring to the 'Libs' in Queensland.. he's just being lazy...

Give them time...

I was just listening to the news on Absolute and they said 'Australia looks set to get it's sixth PM in as many years'... Haha

Sam D and trent are doing a good job... Sam's figures seem to be much further ahead of Trent's though...

Surely Dutton won't have a swing towards him in Dickson...

Is Anthony Green having another shocker?

15? The least he could have done was given you a James Charles box set or whatever 15yos were into at that time.

In Aotearoa we obviously don't have the whole fiasco of volunteers at polling booths telling people how to vote (indeed no party political material of any kind is allowed)... What we do have is the phenomenon of well-meaning volunteers ringing people randomly asking them if they require a lift...

You lined up with candidates?

Yeah... so much so you're a republic? Yet?

So a Pom should renounce the Queen? So QEII is that much of a threat to Australia is she? Haha... love that logic... that's certainly not what the drafters of s44(i) had in mind...

I'm half Maori. My mother is full Maori. We have extensive records of our ancestors from both the Great War and Word War II. We're not stupid. So tell me again about how much better Australia is than Aotearoa with your treatment of indigenous?

OK. Accept and enjoy. So when it comes to race relations. Tell me how much better you have treated your indigenous?

Clearly.

So precious. The UK has dual citizens in both the Commons and House of Lords... Canada the same... The US has dual citizen reps... even the POTUS can be a dual citizen... But Australia clings to an archaic 1900 law... Haha... novel... good on you...

I'm quite aware of Furphy... they were selling it on tap here about 12 months ago... at the Paddo Tavern... and at the RE... It disappeared after about four months... so no thanks... no need for me to google it... And when it comes to standing for parliament, you're quite happy for me to...
