OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Soto]

Enter:

Peter Dutton.

Couldn't campaign his way out of a wet paper bag.

He's got a few more mates too...

 

[Avenger]

Please delete, Gaz. You can’t nominate. Only I can. That’s the rules.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

An absolute demolition job. Libs and Dutton had an absolute nightmare of a campaign. It’ll long be studied I’d say, in what not to do.

He went in as Trump Lite and get an answer from the Australian public that hasn’t been seen too often.

Hopefully sees an end to gutter politics on things like immigrants for a while. Onward and upward.

 

[Gronk]

Greens seemed to be going backwards as well?

Your analysis doesn’t seem correct. If you look at the Qld seats of Brisbane, Ryan and Griffith, those seats are/were held by the Greens. Labor have picked up approx 5% simply because the liberals have lost 5%. The greens vote is pretty much the same as last time.

Currently there is a -0.07 swing away from the greens nationally.

Lets treat it as a recommendation for you to authorise.

Similar overall vote numbers, but a drop in sitting members.

Because the lib voters jumped ship and of course would not vote for the greens.

 

[Wally21]

Jacinta Price is massively in denial. All the media‘s fault apparently.

She f**ked around and found out. Looked a complete fool

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Watching offsiders for a laugh....Rowan Dean is mad, Dutton lost because he didn't commit to pulling out of the Paris agreement like Trump did....apparently that's the point he knew they would lose....

now the trio, discussing Libs didn't campaign like trump did.....which they should had

 

[the phantom menace]

Ah, what a glorious evening

 

[the phantom menace]

Congratulations, lefties!

Thank you.

Seat of Cook is still blue. I’m staying here.

It's a scary new world outside the Shire...

So it's correct as they have lost 2 seats as well as a negative swing.

I don't know how to sum it up in words... but my faith is Australia is massively restored.

Didn't fall for divisive mini-Trump Dutton and his fake outrage on many "issues".
Didn't lurch further right to Pauline's Nation or Clive's Trumpet and their nonsense.
Didn't divert any further votes to the Greens or Teals, who rather than being a party of government just play around on the edges.

Australia and the last three years haven't been perfect... but it's clear there's only one side / party that our population overwhelmingly trusts, to keep steering the ship forward for the benefit of all of us. Labor - under Albo or any successor, is still a miles better option for the benefit of everyone, not just the wealthy Ginas and others pulling the Coalition strings.

The LNP rabble are now decimated, across the country at federal and state levels. Angus Taylor is an unintelligent risk, Sussan Ley is ineffective, Jacinta Price is a delusional hard right nutcase - their only hope to start to rebuild over the next six years might be moderate Andrew Hastie.

Mate I'll tell you no one gives a f**k. I think we are all happy it's over and can get them of our screens.

That first line is just weird as well as well.

Thats all fair. The LNP are a rabble right now. They barely have any seats left in capital cities.

Plenty care. That's a silly comment.

 

[the phantom menace]

And why not leave this here to mark this historic decision by the Australian people - the full 22min acceptance speech in all its glory. The shining positive vision for our country spelt out from around 10mins onwards....

Recommended viewing for those who didn't engage, or just swallowed the Sky News and New Ltd sound bites during the campaign.

You're here commenting in a Current Affairs and Politics thread... that indicates some f**ks are given?

That first line is just weird as well as well.

Not really. An increased majority, means I'm glad people are increasingly not being fooled by negative campaigning and conservative sound bytes and slogans etc, as they seemed to have been at times in the past.

 

[JokerEel]

No one gives a rats ass the plenty that care are the ones simping for a political party. Point well and truly proven already today in this thread.

I also said gives a f**k not care that's a silly comment.
