Vic Predict the outcome of the 2018 Victorian State Election

[The Punter]

Look, it's going to be tight and we've had a bit of these type of results lately. But the chances of the future Member for Morwell being the decisive factor in the election are pretty slim. I think slightly more likely is Labor having to speak to the Greens about forming a coalition government.

 

[Hoops]

Are the Reason Party planning to contest any lower house seats?

Care to research if labor did appoint that judge?

Jail population is at an all time high ( or at least since the whole continent was a prison) so logic tells you people are being locked up

As far as I can tell, the ALP was in power when she became a judge, Libs appointed her as a magistrate.

But FWIW, I think there is little evidence that appointments made by either party exhibit bias. If people want to criticize judge’s opinions, that’s fine - go through the decision and point out the errors but it’s intellectually lazy to say “Judge X is biased or wrong because s/he was appointed during the [insert party] period of government”.

Inga Peulich is an oxygen thief. Kicked out by the voters of the lower house electorate she occupied the Liberals then gift this bungling waste of space an upper house life line. If this loud mouthed waste of space is the best the reactionaries came come up with they deserve remaining on the opposition benches.

A speech on diversity in politics in Victoria's upper house has exploded into Liberal MP Inga Peulich calling Greens leader Samantha Ratnam a "pig".

A dud!

But what is perhaps worse, is that she is keeping her current seat warm for her son

Now if you ever want to meet one of the thickest people in the world, catch up with her son Paul, I kid you not, he is ridiculously stupid

Is there a standard ban for suggesting someone should be dead?

If Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and Opposition Leader Matthew Guy meet in a leaders debate during the course of the election campaign (whether it's a Sky News People's Forum or being questioned by three political commentators), expect Andrews to come out on top.

I must have missed that bit.

No s**t. Are you sure you didn't want to add a question to that?

If one is stealing oxygen, is there any other conclusion? You rather that person wasn't breathing.

Reminds me how people view Murray Watt.

No it merely states that they offer nothing of use and are just a drain on resources, it doesn't advocate anything. It's like saying they're as useful as a hole in the head. Or a cancer on political discourse. At worst it advocates that they should just * off.

 

[The Punter]

...and anyone who uses the term doesn't get to complain about the deterioration of public discourse without accurately being accused of hypocrisy.

Treasurer Samantha Ratnam. I like it. But really the Greens should decline coalition government until they're the majority party.

Vote winner, right there

 

[Baltimore Jack]

And another vote winner

Would love to be a fly-on-the-wall in the Herald Sun editors office on election night when the news comes through that Labor has retained government for a second term.

What will the Herald Sun editorial say on the Monday after the election-will it fully support the government in its second term which will mean ie it gives the AFL Grand Final eve public holiday its seal of approval, or will it vow to go even more harder than before on Daniel Andrews, along the lines of 'we will not rest and relax until this wreck of a government is sent on its way by the Victorian electorate in 4 years time'?

"Democracy Doesn't Work!"

I'm expecting a lot of that federally if Labor get in, Chris Kenny will immediately revert to being an expert on economics again too, hint it's all Labor's fault.

This will be basically very interesting as Kennett gave Victoria's Industrial Relations powers to the feds. Thus there could well be challenges to such laws on the grounds that Victoria doesn't have the power to enact this.

Except of course criminal law is the domain of the States

Imagine you're the editor in chief of the Herald Sun, and you write the editorial savaging Labor's four years in office, and endorsed the Coalition to regain government.

When the results come through (thanks to the ABC's Antony Green) that Labor has returned to office (albeit by a smaller margin), you are caught in a Catch 22 situation.

What do you say in the Monday edition of the Herald Sun?

Do you (grudgingly) congratulates Labor on its election win?

Or, do you promise to go even more harder on Labor between now and the 2022 election, to make life as difficult as possible for Premier Daniel Andrews?

I feel like we are in the presence of a bot that just throws in vague, repetitive thought bubbles without actually contributing a great deal to discussion.

Something along the lines of: "Andrews continues to trade & do business with Chinese consortiums against our express wishes".....Would be my guess.
