Old Allan Jones, mouth piece for the LNP. Dumbing down facts for the imbeciles who can't think for themselves, probably tipped the election in LNP favour.
He(Jones) made some silly comments, but the ones to blame are Bowen and Shorten. The former Bowen going like a bull in a china shop, without thinking through some of the consequences, and Shorten because he deflected too much and his condescending responses" get back to you" was not the way for any leader to respond, if he wants to lead the Nation.
"Dumbing down" ,all politicians at times work on who they believe is a gullible public.Hence the term pork barrelling.
Get Up should have steered clear of the polling booths, they are not a political party, but a leftist lobbying group.Abbott would still have lost anyway.
Trouble is the public can pick insincerity.
Albanese should have been leader, not the ":entitiled" Shorten.
So people who vote because of financial reasons ,family concerns, employment, or because they think if a lot of goodies are handed out ,someone's got to pay are imbeciles.
We therefore apply that to every Govt elected, because rusted on party people don't usually change, it's the silent tell the polllsters to get stuffed mob, who end up tipping elections.
And regardless of Penny Wong's comments about scare campaigns, all parties push the negative against their oppositions' proposals.That's politics Penny.
Sky and News Ltd were pushing the Lib barrow ,the ABC and the SMH ,Guardian and ch9 at times the Labor barrow.
The only imbeciles in my book, were the pollsters ,the media personalities and media and those who trusted social media, and Clive {Palmer who spent $80m for SFA, and Get Up who spent about $5m and got rid of one only ,Bob Brown who achieved zilch and got the miners offside and helped the LNP in Qld,, and the idiot candidates from all the parties who made plain stupid social media comments and got flicked before getting to the election.
How many people threatened to leave Australia when Rudd got in? People threatening to leave because an election didn't go their way, are imbecilic losers.
Every 3 years we get to love em or leave em.
