OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[84 Baby]

Euphemism intended.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Yes. I could reach it with a 5 wood.

50m away? He must live next door!

 

[the phantom menace]

Unless the incumbents are complete dog shit which for all their faults I don't think you can say about the current government.

Worst government I've seen, and given the past 25 years that's saying something...

 

[Gronk]

Boom

 

[Gronk]

And now we cross live to Peter Dutton for comment.

 

[Gronk]

Murdoch lady who has been going after Dictator Dan for two years is worried about the media picking sides in an election. Irony is thick like treacle.

I don’t get the Libs here.
The lefties ScoMo has pissed off aren’t going to vote Liberal anyway.
The righties ScoMo has pissed off are just going to vote further right, so either preferentials back to Coalition or worse case scenario they’ve got to work with some gun nut member to pass bills.
But the more lefty-righties that Potater Dutton has pissed off, could swing Labor

Labor cant lose

 

[Avenger]

I thought they opt for Frydenberg rather than the potato.

 

[84 Baby]

Labor cant lose

If they lose to a Dutton led coalition, they may as well dissolve the ALP

They should but the internal opposition is the far right, of which Zoidenberg is not

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Labor cant lose

Sounds like last time!

If Andrew Bolt doesn’t want Scomo, I think that’s a fair commendation for Scomo

All the Prime Ministers men should be sent in to discredit his detractors.

Hard ball Scomo, do or die, time for a clandestine meeting with the head of ASIO.

Let’s see an AFP warrant issued for Duttons electoral office.

A couple of f22 flypasts over your opponents electorates.

A faked leaked email from Tass or Xin Hua news agency to a detractors office referring to the productive meeting held at Whiskey A Go Go.

The dark arts scomo, let her rip, you’re fighting for everything you know and love.

If the LNP themselves think they are f**ked, then they wont put their best option for the future in power now. They will either let scomo fall if they think it wont be too devastating or will put in a short term sacrifice to later get replaced by the person you want to lead later - you dont want that person getting mudered now.

Like a cricket nightwatchman ?

Kind of like the nightwatchmen when a wicket falls close to end of the day's play in a test match? There's not much talent there to take on a temporary PM spot... I reckon if it's up for grabs Dutton may as well take it now, as four years is a long time to wait for another chance.

Snap, just saw Gronk's post.

I get the feeling Dutton is deluded enough to believe he has a genuine chance though
