Who should replace Michael O’Brien as Victorian Liberal leader?

[mouncey2franklin]

Looked like he had an awesome career ahead of him. The seat for Kew, shadow AG, in his thirties.

And then he goes and does this. It boggles the mind.

Easy for me to say from the comfort of my laptop but I'd like to think that in his position, I'd be taking cabs anywhere alcohol might be involved.

Not like he can't afford it, even with Melbourne cab charges (and do pollies even have to pay for cabs)?

Just a crazy mistake. And I say that as somebody who has made plenty of mistakes over the journey.

 

[Pessimistic]

His over the top loud mouth is not your typical MP for Kew.

some might be breathing a sigh of relief

Finn is a poorly educated religious zealot from the extreme right who publicly embarrasses his party daily. Just why he wasn't dispensed with years ago is a mystery.

The grubby Bernie Finn used to be my panel operator at 3AW. He wasn't much good at that job either.

So yeah mafia guy's a bit of a cuck, hey

A reminder of the intellectual giant we have lost ( and it doesn't even include his plans for the great bat genocide).

Tims and Murmurs: The very best of Tim Smith

Like an idiotic Icarus, Tim Smith has flown too close to the sun. Or rather, driven too close to another car and then a fence. Crikey remembers some of his finest moments.

Very good. And i will concede that

Yeah but the route 75 Tram doesn't get you to Kew you'd need to swap to the route 48 Tram.

His Facebook feed genuinely reads like that of some Russian, basement-dwelling troll.

In any corporate setting where he were so pathetically representing "the brand," he'd have been dumped long ago over flagrant violation of social media policy. This isn't hard, Vic Libs.

I reckon Matthew Guy would have every right to be extremely furious with Tim Smith's actions over the weekend, especially when you consider in a recent Age newspoll, the Coalition had halved the gap between itself and Daniel Andrews's Labor government, and all Guy had to do between now and polling day next year was to keep his team focused and disciplined. The Victorian Liberals won't beat Labor, but their only hope would be a hung parliament result.

Tim Smith has blown up whatever chance the Victorian Liberals had of regaining respect within the electorate in the run up to the 2022 state election with his car accident.

 

[Paul Kersey]

The Age reporting Smith believes he has federal backing and won't resign. What an arseclown. Haha. Bloke is better off running piss ups for the old boys from Scotch

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimp

Sort of bloke who, if he didn't wear glasses, would've been cleaned up multiple times because of his mouth by now.

I thought Guy had navigated the Dim Tim matter quite well. Even though insisting he resign immediately would have been real leadership. Now that Dim Tim has told his leader to get stuffed Guy is faced with a real test of leadership.

Think my favourite of all the Dim Tim moments (so many, so little time) was when he launched into Dan over masks during an interview which included saying how silly is it to have to wear them when driving. The look on Dim Tim's face when the interviewer said "but you don't" was magical.

Then there's the religious zealot and general thickhead, Finn, who is also happy to defy his leader. Interesting times.

Not sure. Matt Guy did come out very early and consistently after it occurred to tell smith to walk off. It gives me hope that there will be accountability in any administration Guy leads. For me it increased the level of respect I have for Guy ( which admittedly was coming from a low base - lobster man etc)

It could be extremely wishful thinking though.

For the record, I don't think Michael Sukkar should replace Michael O'Brien as leader of the Victorian Parliamentary Liberal Party.

When the opposition hangs out with neo nazis… there’s a problem

Some neo-Nazi figures are seeking not only to attend rallies, but to organise, recruit and radicalise other protesters.

The clods who posted nothing to see here when Trump flags appeared, nooses appeared, shouty Neanderthals gained notoriety must be feeling right dipsticks today. Well, those with some self-awareness and soundness of mind at least.

So none of them.

Yep!



Someone, please start a 'Lobster with a mobster' or some such titled thread. Poor old O'Bie deserves a peaceful time on the backbench out of the limelight so he can devote his time to saving his seat.

 

[Christopher Buttersnip]

Surely not.
