Sorry about that.
I was flicking between here and the ABC site and it seems it was updating in real time. Results on the three doubtful spots were flicking around.
But yes, “Teal Pocock” is the ex rugger sjw.
Correction …
LNP 31
ALP 25
Greens 12
PHON 2
Jacqui Jackie Party 2
Teal Pocock 1
Total confirmed or likely 73
So it looks like ALP + Greens + Pocock = 38 not counting three positions which are in doubt.
One has the ALP listed as ahead in WA which would take the Liars to 39.
The other two in doubt are UAP and PHON.
It was you I was thinking of when I made up the rule actually.
An excerpt from a Hun piece on Sophie Scamps’ win in Mackellar. The teal drawbridge is already being raised, and the matching portcullis dropped:
Her dreams are realised. The ‘smart, professional women’ she had wanted are now installed. If ‘gender parity’ is a thing, then according to Steggall that race has also been run and won.
Watch how many new chicks will be admitted to the exclusive Teal Federation. Zero. It will make the Athenaeum and Savage Clubs look like free-for-alls.
Rightly so. Standards, etc.

Now whilst Holmes a Court is the same, look at what he achieved on Saturday night as opposed to Palmer. Oh and just watch Palmer go after Dutton. He hates Dutton with a passion because Dutton’s called him out.
Palmer has always been disruptive whilst achieving nothing. Oh, I should clarify that, Palmer did gift us that bush pig who remains in the senate.

That is a stunningly stupid assertion. It confuses conventionalism with conservatism.
How can one conserve something that does not exist any more, db?
Much as I hate to admit it, munty does have a point.
The institutions that we wish to conserve no longer exist in recognisable form. Schools no longer graduate a high proportion of literate and numerate young adults. Universities have become, in many faculties, propaganda organisations that would have made Goebbels proud. Their ABC no longer even attempts to provide an honest, unbiased, news and commentary, but is the ultimate propaganda organisation.
Rather that waste effort on trying to restore the unrestorable (like trying to recover the old “Blue Ribbon” seats from the Doctors’ Wives), it is time to start on the task of constructing new institutions which are suitable for genuine progress, as different to tools of political “Progressivism” (AKA fascist leftism).
The first step is to starve the old, corrupted, institutions. To misquote Chairman Mao, “A hundred billion dollars is too much. Seize the Budget, starve the corrupt”. Then re-build, from the ground up.
Seems our eSafety Commissioner is a swamp creature from Washington, District of Corruption.

OK I voted UAP on Saturday.
In my electorate UAP got 6.9% apparently. PHON got 5.2%. I wonder how many of those UAP votes would have gone to PHON if UAP hadn’t been running?
The Apparatchik got 25939 votes.
Liberal + UAP + PHON got 26876 votes
but then the Filth got 5917 votes that would have pushed the apparatchik over the line.
Gasp!
Standby for some incoming scoffing and sneering.
I notice ‘the new lieborals’ were hanging around too. Were they for real or just some astroturfing?
The Australian public sector has always been a shallow talent pool.
Just saw an interesting incident on Ch 9 Breakfast ( husband insists on watching!). Nick Coatsworth was discussing the dreaded Monkey Pox & wasn’t bad at all saying it was a negligible threat to the community etc. He then confessed he & his family had gone down with the normal flu. Aly gave him heaps & chided him for not being vaccinated against the flu – which he confessed he had not had due to work pressure.
But then an amazing development – Karl Stephanovic went into a rant. He said he was over with vaccines, & refused to have any more. Instantly the producer cut to a commercial! One of the ensuing commercials was for a well known chain of pharmacies advertising the administration of jabs!
The new lieborals seem to a bit of a Sydney family affair- interesting that their tentacles reached all the way down to western Melbourne.
Indeed
This reduces it to little more than a series of highly paid exhibition matches
There will be Woodstock cans though right?
This is exactly why there has been the rise of the so called alt right. Conservatives have failed to even conserve women’s toilet spaces for women. I have very much come around to rejecting the idea of compromise with the likes of monty. It’s never enough, there’s always more and more you have to sacrifice, while they give up very little, if anything.
Stuff that. Make them squeal. The suggestion a while ago of shutting off power etc. to greens electorates? Yes. Make them live to their so called principles. Fight against the perverted, ugly society being created. Shine a light on the cockroaches grooming kids under the guise of “LGBTI+” acceptance. Do all the things they fear because they know what they do is ultimately destroying civilization. Ron Desantis shows the way, but I don’t think he’ll go far enough in the end.
No mercy, no compromise, no forgiveness.

What It Means That ‘Hillary Clinton Did It’
The Wall Street Journal ran a scathing editorial on May 20, called “Hillary Clinton Did It”.
This editorial began:
“The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 was a dirty trick for the ages — and now we know it came from the top — candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
The editorial quickly explained:
“That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court [in Washington, D.C.], and while this news is hardly a surprise, it’s still bracing to find her fingertips on the political weapon.”
(Also not surprisingly, The May 20 print edition of The New York Times did not include a story on Mook’s testimony.)
The concluding paragraphs of the editorial are worth quoting in full:
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.
Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.
The harm done to the United States by the perfidy of the Clintonistas cannot be overemphasized.
Never in the history of this Republic have so many citizens been so ill-served by so many “elitists” in government and the media.

A businessman gives an engineer a problem to solve in order to bring a replacement product to market that meets green regulations put in place by politicians. Along the way, nobody, least of all the politicians, considers the consequences of diverting supplies of edible oil or corn from the food supply until hungry and rightly angry people start marching in the streets and burning effigies of the politicians who are supposed to have their interests at the forefront of their minds. This is one reason why nationalism, including national food security, is back on the agenda.
From the Spectator Mag.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
The Liberals were warned (repeatedly), ‘Go Woke, Go Broke!’ If nothing else, this federal election served as a reckoning against the soggy, wet, gangrenous Liberals sitting in wealthy Sydney seats.

The Sharmas, Zimmermans, and Frydenbergs.
NSW is facing a massive shortage of police recruits because potential trainees are forced to spend thousands of dollars just to apply for the job and even more once they begin training.
Kevin Morton, the newly appointed head of the Police Association of NSW, said the situation was so critical, the next intake of new officers in June has been cancelled because there are not enough applicants willing to cough up around $17,000 to qualify.
“We’re missing out on quality potential police officers in this state because people simply can’t afford the application process,” Mr Morton said in his address to the association’s conference in Wollongong.
“As a result we’re staring down the barrel of a serious police shortage in this state in the very near future.”
In a draft copy of his speech to be delivered today in front of the NSW Police Minister Paul Toole and Police Commissioner Karen Webb have called for a total overhaul of the way police trainees are being charged to become cops.
“NSW is the only jurisdiction in the country, and perhaps the world, where potential police have to fork out thousands of dollars and spend months of their lives training just to apply to be in the police force,” Mr Morton will say.
“There’s not even a guarantee of a job at the end of it, so it’s no wonder people aren’t applying. We should be looking to attract the best and brightest, not just those who can afford it. You shouldn’t have to choose between paying your mortgage and looking after your family or joining the police.”
Before applying to become a NSW police officer, potential recruits are required to obtain a University Certificate in workplace essentials from Charles Sturt University costing $1728 if paid in advance or $2160 if incurred as a student loan payable through HECS.
They are then forced to pay around $15,000 plus board while they undertake the nine-month training course at the Goulburn Police Academy.
Many senior police and association members say the procedure is also putting off older people with life experience from applying, even those in their mid 20s.
“You’ve got cops going through the application process who are forced to live away from their families and live under quite strict rules, which can include not leaving the training facilities, and they’re not even getting paid for it – in fact, they’re paying out of their life savings to do it,” Mr Morton said.
“The system in NSW is set up to effectively block anyone who doesn’t have a lot of savings or responsibilities from entering the police. We should be encouraging people with life experience into the job, not discouraging them.”

Copy/paste of the media release, or code for suicide?
Incidentally, a lot of reportage of suicides now uses the phrase died of suicide rather than committed suicide.

So, are we going to run book on the next leader?
Thank you. Unfortunately, like dealing with naughty children, unless we get a right wing party that does those things I don’t see a bright future for the country. Trump showed the way, but at the end of the day he is a 90’s moderate left guy. Most of the western world need someone far more ruthless, backed by a party willing to support them.
Much consternation expressed in the local rag today by local LNP nabobs and pundits after their Morrison preferred vanilla candidate managed to halve their 20.5% margin in his first general election.

Said it before – it’s an identical level of stupid and agenda-pushing from those classifying every death as ‘from’ rather than ‘with covid, to those frantically square-pegging every death to ’caused by Klausvax’ (which, by the way, was and remains a shit, worthless, counterproductive idea).
No no. Don’t look at the Death Camps screamed about for months, and when people said this exact phrase:
And which whimpered out with:
Don’t look there. That’s so February. Look over here, with unproven allegations of unspecified evilness by unspecified people which stole an election from The People, committed in an unspecified manner.

It’s a funny old world when the unemployment rate is at a 48 year low but the government gets punted.
Not that the low unemployment was accomplished by the ScoMo goat rodeo – it was an inadvertent consequence of the temporary suspension of the population Ponzi scheme. Expect normal service to be resumed under the Rub and Tug Man goat rodeo.
Nor am I in any way suggesting that the ScoMo goat rodeo deserved to retain office. Just pointing out that things were, in some respects, less bad than they often are when a government gets returned.
Australians were so sick of SloMo they elected Elbow PM.
I was going to write a wordwall to my local state member about Bernie Finn, but I decided to go with:-
Elbow was actually questioning the Ponzi during the election.
Time will soon tell if it was a scripted response to focus group concerns or a trial balloon to test an upcoming policy reform.
Just got back from Woolies buying some milk.
Saw the front page of the Toowoomba birdcage liner (The Chronicle). The local LNP are dismayed that for the first time in a long, long time they didn’t get in on first preferences and had to go to preferences. One of the party apparatchiks puts it down to going with net zero. Could also be due to the local idiot member going with a bunch of chickenshit local projects as evidence of his success in office. These are local government issues, State at most.

A generous assessment of those particular websites.

Mmm. And where in your body do you feel this global warming happening?
Does the globe warm when I press here? No? How about here?

He’s probably getting the briefing today.
“Cut back immigration? Upskill the locals? Very courageous, Treasurer!”
Perhaps they’ve realised that man[y] in the voteherd actually aren’t all that keen on Labor’s social policies?
Could be. Though as can be seen with Bernie Finn they’d actually be perfectly safe relying on the Liberals to hand them those voters back on a silver platter.
Further to the Accuweather article it has been my understanding for a long time that an ocean impact of a large asteroid would be far worse than a land impact. See Messrs Pournelle and Niven.
The Chelyabinsk event was 65 feet in diameter and yielded 0.5 megatonnes. The 350 giraffes would be around 365 Gigatonnes yield as a first cut and I suspect it would make it through the atmosphere intact.
Yeah, truly a big deal.
I sent the same to headquarters and added “Get back to me when you have recommitted to the concept of free speech.”
The LNP lost because the libs went too far left especially on global warming; the primary vote of the ALP was the lowest ever because they didn’t go left far enough.
Global warming is the biggest scam ever. It should have ended in 2007 when the Judgment in the Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth case was handed down by the English HC. The science in Gore’s movie to do with the alleged consequences of global warming were tested by the best scientists in the world including Australia’s Bob Carter who acted for the parent objecting to Gore’s movie being shown in schools as part of the science syllabus. Carter was a true dirt under the fingernails type of scientist who helped show none of the so-called consequences of global warming depicted in Gore’s movie – polar bears, rising seas, snow and the big one: humans emitting all the increase in CO2 which resulted in global temp increase – existed or if they did were inconsequential and/or not attributable to global warming.
The lead scientist for Al Gore, Peter Stott is a computer expert who adjusts climate data, a complete contrast to Carter.
The irony is the Judge, Michael Burton accepted the official IPCC view about Global Warming but determined that Gore’s movie’s claims were not consistent with the science of the IPCC and rejected all of his 9 consequences.
Of course this Judgment has been ignored or lied about by the alarmists. This confirms again that alarmism is not about reasonable discourse, evidence or common sense; it’s a belief system which people are making money from and the communists in the UN are using to undermine the West. In addition the media and rich bastards are on board.
Stock up on candles folks.
Riding back from shopping in Fairfield this morning and it occured to me .. I haven’t seen a plod on foot since lockdown/masks were scrapped .. now I ride 3 to 400 kms a week around Fairfield/Liverpool/Blacktown areas so it would appear that taking the pepperspray for a toddle ain’t much fun when you can’t use it on little old ladies and mums wiv bubs .. LOL!
Can the brain dead here work out what tense the word “will” aludes to?
In this sentence.
“It will happen”.
Have a go, see what you can work out.
Even Vicplod level educated should be able to have a crack.
For ages 5 and over.
Scouring the internet?
Every morning I get at least ten emails from CHRISTIAN news services , with reports from the thousands of doctors screaming about this, like Robert Malone and Peter Mc Cullough and the actual experts on these killer jabs.
Silenced by Socialists.
You continue to listen to Koshie.
I would If I were you.
The truth about your stupidity and it causing your premature death through lack of moral conviction would be hard to take….I get that.
tick, tick, tick……
The LNP lost because the libs went too far left especially on global warming; the primary vote of the ALP was the lowest ever because they didn’t go left far enough.
Fun fact: .. the only “houso” I have ever heard mention “gerbil werming/climate change is AnAl .. LOL!
Jonathan Coleman brown bread.
I will not speculate, but, you know …
Where’s the human pin cushion for McGowan?
He should be in by now to dribble relentless shit.
It’s not as if he does anything at work.
And what has your workday been like so far?
Yeah, Sancho.
A lot of premature deaths being reported.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
IT’S THE SALMON MOUSSE.
Liberal apparatchik on the radio saying they need to return to their roots and become the party of enterprise: “Renewable energy presents great opportunities for Australia.”
No. Also no one elected from Conservative Nationals, Rise Up Australia, Christian Democratic Party, Great Australian Party, Involuntary Medication Objectors, Citizens Electoral Council, Love Australia or Leave or Australian Liberty Alliance.
All these excess deaths AFTER THE JAB came out.
And it’s just the start.
Lots of these coming out now.
IGNORE IT.
Says… Struth.
Umm, Coleman died of prostate cancer.
Diagnosed 4 (four) years ago.
Boy, you got to hand it to the GloBaLists. Setting up alibis for their vax murders four years in advance.
Although the CHRISTIAN websites might tell a different story.
So what, are you retired, on the dole, which is it with you, Sliplane?
I’m here less than you.
Oh, OK.
Did he?
How do you know?
From The Oz…
Expelled Lib MP says he ‘won’t be bullied’
Rachel Baxendale
Expelled Liberal MP Bernie Finn says he will “not be bullied by (Opposition Leader) Matthew Guy”, vowing to recontest the November state election.
Mr Finn said he had not yet decided whether he would attempt to form his own party, join another conservative minor party, or even recontest Liberal preselection given his expulsion is from the parliamentary party and the organisational wing.
“We’ve found out a lot about a lot of people this week, and there are some lessons that I think we will remember in November,” Mr Finn said.
“What we have seen today is a statement from the leader of our party that the party that I joined over 41 years ago, is dead.
“The party of Menzies and Howard is no more. Not in Victoria. Used to be the jewel of the Liberal crown, here in Victoria, but it doesn’t exist anymore. The party of Bolte, the party of Kennett, gone, gone, doesn’t exist anymore.
“If you hold a view opposite or different to the leader in this party, you run the risk of expulsion.
“Just as I will not be bullied by Daniel Andrews, I will not be bullied by Matthew Guy either, so let us go forward and let us form a new movement if we must, if that’s what’s needed.”
Mr Finn said it was too early to say whether he would form his own party.
“Look, in politics in 2022, after what happened on Saturday, anything is possible, so let’s just see what happens. But as I said before I’m certainly not going to be bailing out of politics anytime soon, and the views that I hold are views that are held by a lot of people,” he said.
Mr Finn said he understood some members of the Liberal partyroom had voted in his favour against the expulsion motion, but he could not say how many.
“There were a number who spoke in my favour, in favour of keeping me, so I thank them, but there’s been a fair effort put in by a number of front benchers to get rid of me,” he said.
He said he had been approached by “six or seven” parties and asked to join, but had thus far declined the invitation.
“But that’s obviously something that I may have to reconsider,” Mr Finn said.
Asked which parties, he named the Liberal Democrats, but declined to go further “because there might be people who might not want me to do that.”
Asked whether there was a chance he would join a party and sit with that party within the upper house before the next election, Mr Finn said: “That’s a possibility. That’s a possibility. As I say it’s something that’s just happened less than an hour ago, so I haven’t really given it the degree of thought that it needs.”
Asked whether he would recontest Liberal preselection, Mr Finn said: “That’s an interesting thought. I can, because I’m still a member of the Liberal Party.”
“That’s something that I might consider, because the reason that this has been done, the way it’s been done, is because those who wish to remove me from the party, know that I would probably win preselection. So that’s something that I may well like to consider,” he said.
“I’ve got to tell you, I was seriously thinking about retiring at this election, very seriously thinking about it, and this has given me a new lease on life, so thank you Matthew Guy.”
Fleeced
Stainless steel and other reusable straws don’t seem sanitary.
Rigid items like stainless steel are dangerous. Don’t you remember your mother telling you not to run with that pencil in your mouth?
You must have known the fatty, (not Monty) Coleman personally, and since you like to abuse overweight people, Sancho, I point my sickle at you and proclaim death by mean words towards fatties.
who would have thought a terminal velocity space giraffe is almost one gigatonne of impact energy?
The things you learn.
Give me a bit of good news Monty.
How many jabs have you had?
I don’t know much about the Victorian Liberals, I wouldn’t recognise Matthew Guy if I bumped into him in the street, but I do know Bernie Finn from quite a few YouTubes. He’s a very accomplished parliamentarian and seems like a decent and sensible bloke, the Victorian Liberals should have elected him as their leader rather than sacking him.
Oh, so now fuckstick Liberals want to start new parties.
Fuck the lot of them.
I read it on a CHRISTIAN website.
I can’t recall which one.
Too many open tabs.
Not enough sleep.
Emailing…emailing….where are you choo choo?….tell me you’re not dead, that arsehole Struth will have a field day….get in here quick.
No, not all.
Just Fat Cloive and the Meatloaf tribute act guy from Hervey Bay.
This is the problem with “broad churches”, whether ecclesiastical or political; they become full of milksops who can’t tolerate people with strong principles. The latter are deemed “divisive”and must either keep silent or be expelled from their midst for disturbing their peace, which is the peace of those who’ve never fought for anything in their lives.
Except you didn’t.
Koshie told you, or maybe it was Simon Townsend, or Fat Cat……
New OT up.
Another electric car catches fire – this time with the driver locked inside:

Nice to know that there is a mechanical door release button (carefully hidden) for when your car spontaneously combusts. That is the kind of information that provides a warm and cosy feeling when you are choosing a vehicle.
If that Guy freak can expel Finn from the Libs, just imagine what he would be prepared to do to the average Victorian punter swimming against the ‘correct’ tide should he win government – which, in itself, is an impossibility. The mongrel will not be getting my vote.
Show us on the doll where globullshit touched you.
Perhaps that’s why the dealer doesn’t tell you about it.

Look what the LNP did to the Christians in SA.
CDP doesn’t exist anymore, Monty. Try to keep up.
There was a bit of squabbling in-house and they went into receivership and were disbanded by the court. Fred Nile (yeah, he’s still alive) is too paranoid about potential successors stabbing him in the back, so the old dinosaur keeps stuffing things up. Though the cynic in me wonders if the Libs just didn’t need them anymore, with Optional Preferential now being a thing (they likely would have propped them up, otherwise).
I do know a few religious types who didn’t know who to vote for without CDP or FF. Which is odd, because they were never that great.
Anyway, LDP was always going to split the vote with Clive and Pauline, but the big surprise was the Legalise Cannabis party. They outpolled LDP significantly, despite it being a policy of LDP to legalise it.
In Australia, personality politics or single issue is what gets you a senate gig. LDP might have to change strategy when they change their name.

Another perfect late Autumn day here. Bright blue skies with the odd cloud, sunshine, multicoloured trees, flocks of cockies, plus rosellas, currawongs, magpies, peewees, Australian Ravens (crows), sparrows, and finches. That I noticed when I went outside.
We are blessed in this country, no matter what the doomsayers spruik.

Is… is that the final turnout figure?
Looking at the candidate votes by type, prepoll columns are zero. In fact, all but normal and postal votes are zero. No idea what that means… other than that the data isn’t final?
The PrePoll Booths have been counted on the Saturday Night the last 2 Federal Elections.
In 2016, PrePoll was counted on the Sunday Morning, and prior to that, PrePoll counting didn’t start until Tuesday.
It was beautiful here in Melbourne too Johanna.
A perfect autumn day.
