Looks like the LNP Premier of Tasmania got rolled in the no confidence vote.


Amateurs. Only Labor provides effective government these days.

Funny how Musk was all good with what Trump was doing until it was going to affect him and his company.

Take the EV mandate law out of the bill and Musk would be best friends with Trump again in a second.

"It failed 3-9, with two Democrats siding with Republicans on the committee."
Democratic Rep. Patricia Moore voted [and successfully lobbied another against the bill]. Moore publicly shared that her mother was raped as a teenager and gave birth to her, and she cited religious reasons for her decision.

“I think it should be left up to the family,” said Boyd. “What I’m asking is to give them the ability to make that choice.”

Oh, so it's ok to vote against the bill if you have reasons, oh and 'cause God said.

But yeah, God did have a chat to her to. :rolleyes:


Moore said in the area of Louisiana that she represents, she is aware of a nine-year-old who is pregnant; “I’m struggling because life and death, according to our Heavenly Father it's in his hands. I’m like, ‘God are you wanting this child... to have a baby? What good can come out of this?’”

“I know we got to protect our children, but to this point right now, I cannot vote ‘Yes’ because I’m constantly hearing that God would take a bad situation and turn it into good,” Moore said.

I am not condoning her vote, I am putting context to her vote.


The context is she voted against the bill, thus forcing a child rape victim to give birth.

But yeah, God did have a chat to her to. :rolleyes:

This is religion dictating law, might as well be a theocracy, like say Iran
