Twitter has the same swear filter as Bigfooty, nice.

Hey there Arden. Good to see you chugging along.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Antony Green to call it by 22.30 hrs.

Bye Sco.& co inc.

( p.s. god l HATE Carltank )

Unless it’s so close that WA electorates come into play, he’ll probably call it by 7.30.

He’s probably relieved that the count doesn’t clash with a game by his beloved swans, unlike last time.

Sad to see most on here have been taken by the "they're both terrible and two sides of the same coin". There are clear differences in policy.

Yep. This is exactly what filth like Murdoch and his media goons love. Muddy the waters as much as you can. Sadly, it works. Someone like Morrison should never been anywhere near being a leader.

You need party politics. If you had a government full of independents, party’s would form, otherwise nothing would get done. It’s just such a pity both party’s are so ducked up.

We had a PM who wasn’t a career Polly in Turnbull. He was smart, articulate and progressive. But the Libs and the Australian public were too stupid to see how good he was.

the stability of two party system is a myth thou, in reality we’ve got more of a uni party in australia, fundamentally there isn’t much between the two.
having multiple different interest groups acting on behalf of their constituents, not corporations, is how democracy is meant to work.
and if the old guard is incapable of working this way, they should be removed, as they simply don’t stand for us..

Have driven past my local polling station a couple of times today. Almost completely deserted. Seems that everybody was so anxious to vote they all got in early. Who can blame them wanting to stop the rot?

This election campaign in particular has been one giant farce. Politicians of all persuasions just talking shite and slurs. I wrote a giant Get ****ed on the roll of senate toilet paper.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

I actually don't care who wins.

I'm refusing to vote (again, I didn't last election either) for this reason.

None of the parties and their horrific "leaders" deserve me wasting my time.

Not the worst strategy most days.

What is msm?

Weird to read so many people ambivalent about the election result when climate change is literally going to reshape the economy and the environment in the lifetime of today’s kids, and there’s a clear division between libs, labor and the greens on policy.

Someones grandmother at the counting center will be thrilled.

Last election was most likely stolen.

Not stolen, simply that palmer ran a very successful strategy to defeat labour.

It's OK if North play home games at Telstra Dome. With the roof closed, the environment doesn't matter one bit! They should put a roof on the G as well. And if they put big mirrors on it then they could reflect the heat back to the sun.

Mmm, shorten built his campaign on an ambitious suite of reforms, the problem was that he had all the magnetism of a turnip, so he was uniquely susceptible to scare campaigns.

You can’t take on negative gearing unless you’ve got political capital to burn, and Bill did not.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Vote 1 hilly for PM

1. Anyone slowing down to go through a green light will be executed
2. All roundabouts to be doubled in size with all greenery removed
3. Anyone over the age of 15 using the term 'democracy sausage' will do ten years hard labor

What’s your position on people that say Parmi & chippies?

True, though we Might have to increase the interchange bench to compensate for half the team coming down with heat stroke every time we play the Gabba.

Main stream media.

So any media that is big budget or corporate. I'll read any journalism done by someone with a substack account. (Most of it is s**t but at least its their own personal s**t not something someone is paying them to unload.)

Climate change is already doing this.

Rural Australia has lots of places with ****ed economies because of fires then floods. In 2019 our national stock herds were falling and our crop yields were too. Its all cos of climate change. No one wants to admit it tho cos of the political climate. Which is one climate that needs to change. (And I mean more than just a token change of government like we'll hopefully see today.)

Pretty much the same thing imo.

Yep. To say nothing of northern qld’s tourism market smashed after the coral bleaching events, black swan bushfires, and the massive surge in the value of lithium miners over the past couple years.

In the scheme of things we’re just getting started though. Another four degrees on average by 2100.

More importantly you cant promise policy that will effect the big end of town like palmer or murdock because they will mobilise their resources and cut you off at the knees.

You can but it takes a persuasive and charismatic individual to do it (in another age, Hawke’s economic reforms were a good template) and Canberra hasn’t got a surplus of persuasiveness and charisma at the moment.

Should be Parma. And scallops are fish. Not potato cakes.

Last election we had at least trwo players with electorate names - Goldy and Higgo. I think their might have been more too. More electorates should be named after footy players.

We could ave the seats of Aliir, Spengler, Vandemeer and Zurhaar.

If we recruit Jye Menzies in the MSD we’ll have another
