I don’t blame Morrison’s election strategists, and I don’t blame (most of) the candidates.
I blame Morrison for every day of the past two years – not for what he did, but for what he didn’t do.
Like a couch blob mother with six teenage kids (all called Premmieyah and Cheef) having access to the fridge, the shed and the car keys, Morrison let those kids run absolutely wompus with no parental control whatsoever.
It was actually worse than that – because no matter what they did Couch Mummy maintained or increased their pocket money to do it with, while simultaneously screeching ‘Don’t touch that’, waving her pointing stick during the MAFS commercial breaks.
Well, the firies tore down the lounge room wall to remove Couch Mummy and installed an even worse one – and now the teenagers are imbued with learned behaviour as well as a set of house keys with instructions to not bother her when they come back at 4.00 a.m. with crack whores and/or fuckbois.
On the bright side, politics will not be boring for the next few years. I have a hankering for the good old days and those 20% interest rates.
Ancillary question: Will Elbow’s government annoy people enough before November that we see the end of Dan of the Dead?
I suspect those fast fading dazzling looks might’ve been leveraged into a situation where the party has been throwing her bones just to prevent things
from turning ugly.

Just got off the phone to my airline pilot mate. His 22 year old daughter who is studying in Germany for a year proudly announced she had voted Green. He wanted some ammo about nuclear power etc. I reminded him to tell her that if it wasn’t for Western Civilisation and particularly the last 150 years or so she would be Property.

When she finally gets a job and starts to pay taxes, if she has a brain she may even look into where her money is being squandered and observe the parasites living off her hard earned. And there she will find a sea of green. If she has a brain.
Lets look how the EU are doing now they are transforming to ‘power to cheap to meter”!
Bit from this site.
Electricity prices increased in all Member States except two
Household electricity prices rose in 25 EU Member States in the second half of 2021, compared with the second half of 2020. The largest increase (expressed in national currencies) was registered in Estonia (+50%), ahead of Sweden (+49%) and Cyprus (+36%).
Expressed in euro, average household electricity prices in the second half of 2021 were lowest in Hungary (€10.0 per 100 kWh), Bulgaria (€10.9) and Croatia (€13.1) and highest in Denmark (€34.5), Germany (€32.3), Belgium (€29.9) and Ireland (€29.7).
…
This one has a great breakdown of just how shit its going, even with governments trying emergency measures.
A little from each country, the site is well worth a look.

Electricity prices for German households are the highest in the European Union. Reuters indicates that some 4.2 million German households will see their electricity bills rise by an average 63.7% in 2022 while 3.6 million face gas bills 62.3% higher than in 2021 as suppliers pass on record wholesale costs.
…
Austria
The latest measures include a 90% cut to natural gas and electricity tariffs through mid-2023
…
Belgium
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo said that Belgium will take the lead in pushing for a cap on European gas prices.
Plus added mongness.
Belgium will also increase renewable energy investments, including an additional €1 billion for wind and solar energy projects, according to De Croo.
…
Bulgaria
For household, on 16 December the new ruling coalition voted to freeze power and heating prices until the end of March.
…
Croatia
Government measures include, among other things, a permanent reduction in the value added tax (VAT) rate for gas and heat to 13 from 25 percent.
…
Cyprus
On 17 September, the government announced a 10 percent discount on the electricity bill of all households from November to February.
On 4 November, the cabinet approved a reduction of VAT from 19 per cent to 5 per cent on electricity bills for vulnerable groups for six months.
…
Czech Republic
Small and medium enterprises whose energy provider failed and that have experienced increases of their energy bills of more than 100% are offered a state-backed guarantee with a 0% interest rate to meet the costs of their operational expenses.
…
Denmark
By February 2022, the measures were finalised and entered into force with a so-called “heat-cheque” (around €800) for 320,000 of the hardest-hit households.
…
Estonia
On 25 January, the Estonian government approved a cap on electricity (€0.12/KWh) and gas prices (€65/MWh) for households and the abolition of electricity distribution charges for businesses (previously only halved), in an effort to mitigate the negative effects of rising energy prices.
…
Finland
At a ministerial council on 17 March 2022, the Executive promised direct grants to the agricultural sector of about 300 million euros in direct support to alleviate the agricultural cost crisis and improve the security of supply of domestic food production. A similar package of €75 million was also rolled out for the logistic sector.
…
France (shitloads of stuff)
By 31 January 2022 the estimated cost for the state has been €8bn, while EDF, forced to lower the cost of electricity by charging below the market rate (to contain the increase to 4%), warned its investors that it would take an estimated €8.4bn financial hit from French energy price cap. Some other estimates put the government spending to contain high energy prices as high as €15.5 billion since the fall of 2021.
…
Germany
On 24 March, Germany’s ruling coalition agreed on additional measures worth about €15 billion, including a temporary reduction in fuel prices for three months through a tax cut (by 30 cents for gasoline and 14 cents for diesel). Other measures encompass a one-time payment of €300, a €100 cheque to boost child support and a monthly reduction to €9/month for public transport. These new measures will complement the already agreed subsidies for low-income households, the increase in allowance for commuters and the EEG surcharge cut. Chancellor Scholz indicated that the overall cost of these policies bring the total cost of shielding consumers from the rise in energy prices to around €30 billion.
…
Greece
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also said that the government will set a ceiling on wholesale electricity prices and refund up to 60% of all the surcharges that electricity consumers with annual incomes of up to €45,000 have paid from December 2021 to -May 2022.
…
Hungary
Prices for households are regulated below cost and on 11 November the government announced that it will also put a price-ceiling of €1.30 per litre on petrol and diesel.
…
Ireland
Electricity prices for Irish households were the fourth-highest in the EU in the first half of 2021, rising to number one when taxes are stripped out.
…
Italy
On January 12 2022, the Italian Minister of Industry announced a forthcoming increase in corporate taxes on energy companies that have benefited from surging power prices. This comes days after Matteo Salvini, the head of the Minister of Industry’s political party, called for a deficit-hike of at least €30 billion .
Overall, state support for struggling households is expected to reach €8.5bn through March 2022.

Frydenberg in The Hun:
Well he would say that, wouldn’t he?
Kooyong’s the Mongyang version of Wentworth. Full of rich doctor’s wives and assorted virtuous Porsche drivers with more money than sense*.
What he meant to say was that if he had made more noise about warming, he may have retained his seat.
If he hasn’t been networking with a view to a plum corporate sinecure for the past six months, he’s stupider than I thought.
*Notable exceptions, rah rah rah.
Frydenberg losing his seat is the best thing that could have happened for the Libs in the circumstances. In parliament he would have led the party further left. Dutton, should he be elected by the party room, may at least consider a change in tack.
Meantime, as Frydenberg heads off to his corporate sinecure, he has bequethed us a public debt to GDP ratio heading towards 40%. Nice work, “Josh”.
Hang on. In late breaking news some mislaid boxes of ballots for the Kooyong electorate have just been found to run 90% in favour of the treasurer. Counting continues…
This will be the lesson that the SFLs take from this election. Good. They are doomed.

I didn’t watch Dreamtime at the ‘G last night, so missed the performance theatre put on by the Richmond players at the start of the match. However, I did watch the ‘highlights’ this morning and even though I knew there would be a high level of Aboriginal worship happening, I was genuinely shocked at what I saw.
The white players ended up kneeling – BLM style – in a circle around the standing Abo players, looking down on the sub-humans groveling at their feet. Offensive, racist garbage.
I did watch a couple of standard ‘Welcome to Country’ performances at a couple of the day games yesterday. One had a white women talking in tongues, before another three white women did a dance while shaking small eucalyptus branches. The second one had a white bloke talking in tongues before wailing to a didgeridoo.
Quite obviously, there are no full-blood Aborigines left in the tribes located in cities. Judging by the ‘elders’ being paid to put on this embarrassing rubbish, there aren’t even any who are more than 1/16 Aboriginal. What a sham.

Future Candidate for Clinton Disease (or is that Epsteining?)
Ex-Clinton Campaign Manager Should Probably Go Into Hiding After That Testimony
Okay, maybe you can see it. It’s the Clintons. The power couple where it’s politics all the time, secrecy is key, and they play by their own rules. That was evident with the homebrew server that was unsecured, in which Hillary conducted all her State Department business in clear violation of protocol. Then, she lied. She said it was approved, only to have the State Department inspector general shoot that down. This story rehashed all the bad memories of the Clintons from the 1990s.
Now, we have this 2016 October surprise that was soaked in Russian collusion nonsense. It was about Donald Trump’s supposed ties to Alfa Bank, which was a garbage story. Even the FBI said there was nothing to the tale. The evidence was lacking, but Hillary signed off on the campaign shopping it to the media, who, like good soldiers, disseminated the fake news to the masses.
The probe conducted by Special Counsel John Durham has roped in ex-Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann, who is accused of lying to the FBI. During his testimony last Monday, Robby Mook, Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, said that the former first lady and two-time presidential loser signed off on giving this story to the media. Twitchy noted it best: he threw her under the bus.
Will the Clinton body count increase by one soon? Who knows? But Mook probably should go into hiding. We all know what happens to the people who make enemies of or fail the Clintons in their endeavors. Still, there’s more to this.
Another Beaufort set of bloodlines in the pile probably wouldn’t have made any difference Dot as the Beauforts were tainted with illegitimacy anyway – but at least they were all descended from John of Gaunt, and thus true Lancastrians. Looks as though the slurring of the de Valois Queen was fairly speculative anyway, as with many of the claims of illegitimacy due to adulterous females that plague the lines of Royal descent in Britian, right up to speculation that our current Her Maj’s own mother, Elizabeth the Queen Mother as she is fondly remembered, was actually the daughter of the cook; hence the slang term of ‘cookie’ often applied to her.
I woke early with a horrible dream about a dying wallaby deliberately put on a fire by traditional aborigines (as records show happened sometimes), but the poor thing tried to hop away and looked at me with sad appealing eyes. I shot up in bed, horrified. Consoled myself with the thought that wallabies had died by fire for millenia in bushfires, it’s the fate of being a wallaby; but why such an image should be front of mind for me I don’t know. Maybe because last night I had just emailed a friend here in Britain asking whether the bushfires had caused the Labor win. Youse can all guess what I told her.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla tells WEF crowd about new microchipped pills: ‘Imagine the compliance’
I’ve now realised we’ve regressed to the mid-1960s where it’s big business and the government pig state versus the rest of us.
Propaganda is now the main weapon.
For example, the latest NAB business-to-business TV commercial features as actors an Abo as the business owner and a Chinaman as the banker – a clownish fantasy that not only is not occurring in Australia, but won’t be anytime in the next century.
Not to mention the Elbownese regime’s ally. the AFL, which this weekend is featuring a homage to primitive savages in its “indigenous round”, where white people pretending to be Abos conduct an animist ceremony that celebrates pre-civilisation “civilisation”.
As with everything the left does, the idea is to get civilised people used to being humiliated. The long-term strategy is it that, if you can get people to accept absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities.
And, for the Australian left, today is Day One in Year Zero.
A very bad system.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-22/antony-green-answers-questions-about-historic-election/101089010
We’ve never seen support for the major parties drop so low at a federal level before. The nearest comparison would be One Nation’s breakthrough in Queensland in 1998.
In countries with comparable electoral systems, like Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, we saw the support for the long-dominate parties starting to subside in the 1970s and 1980s. That didn’t happen in Australia, the ’70s saw a polarisation.
I think compulsory voting has added an inertia to the way our political system works and has prevented a decline in the major party vote
I suppose it is good news the RAN are finally getting Tomahawks for their subs, but why does it take 7+ years to “integrate” a weapon like the LRASM?

While everyone is busy on the election thread, I’ll lodge my Birdsville report.
The road from Boulia is hardtop to Bedourie, and a little wider than the single lane Mt Isa to Boulia. So far so good.
The country to either side is green and in some places lush. A product of the recent rains and overland flows. Great flocks of budgies and other small birds predominate, with the occasional kite or eagle feasting on road kill. I was told that the wedgetails don’t even bother to hunt any more, so rich are the roadside pickings. The Beloved slows down when he sees them as they are so slow to take off. He can’t bear the thought of hitting wildlife, though sometimes it’s inevitable.
This is the Simpson Desert, one of the most inhospitable places on the planet, yet over all is a film of green. The little creeks are flowing, or there are billabongs on either side of the causeways, brown with suspended sediment.
Then the detour around the “lake” on the northern side of Birdsville – the road is cut so the only alternative is dirt. As the Model A “Betty” had got through the day before, we were heartened and knew we would too. An amazing country to drive through – it seemed that we were crossing ancient ocean floors only to be met with bright red dunes, a crest, and another floor to traverse. Beautiful.
And the cyclists, with their escort of mini buses. Like beings from another planet. There must be a rally nearby. Why anyone would want to cycle across this place is a blank to me, but there they were, lycra clad except for curtains of fly mesh across their faces. To each their own.
Then a glorious sunset sipping wine on the Birdsville Pub’s “College of Knowledge” out front. And sharing travellers’ tales, of course.
Calli:
You’d have seen Big Red, the massive sand dune just out of town?
Just up from there is the wrecked remains of an old Blitz truck. Not worth digging out even for parts
Off to the Big Red tomorrow. And Birdsville Billabong and hopefully the Burke and Wills tree. No, the Dig Tree, but another one. Also thought we’d mosey on down The Track to the SA border so we could say we’d been on it.
We stopped at the Loo With The View on the way down. And yes, you can sense the curvature of the earth. It’s remarkable.
If any Cats can get across here soon, you’ll see the desert bloom. There is life everywhere and it’s a wonder.
Not the Dig Tree.

NEWMAN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
[Diary of a Pommy who cracked a Job in WA]
August 31
Just got transferred with work from grey old London to our new home in
Newman, Western Australia.
Now this is a town that knows how to live! Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings.
I watched the sunset from a deckchair by the pool yesterday. It was beautiful. I’ve finally found my new home. I love it here.
——————————————————————————–
September 13
Really heating up now. It got to 31 today. No problem though. Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this.
I’m turning into a sun-worshipper.
——————————————————————————–
September 30th
Had the back yard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks. No more mowing lawns for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
——————————————————————————–
October 10th
The temperature hasn’t been below 35 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least today it’s windy though. Keeps the flies off a bit. Acclimatising is taking longer than I expected.
——————————————————————————–
October 15th
Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed three days of work. What a dumb thing to do! Got to respect the ol’ sun in a climate like this.
——————————————————————————–
October 20th
Didn’t notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left for work this morning.
By the time I got back to the car after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stuck to the upholstery. The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat shit. I’ve learned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat.
——————————————————————————–
October 25
This wind is a b*stard. It feels like a giant f*ckin’ blow dryer. And it’s hot as hell!
The home air conditioner is on the blink and the repair man charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needs to order parts from f*ckin’ Perth .
——————————————————————————–
October 30th
The temperature’s up around 40 and the parts still haven’t arrived for the f*ckin’ aircon.
Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. Bloody $900,000 house and we can’t even go inside. Why the hell did I ever come here?
——————————————————————————–
November 4
Finally got the ol’ aircon fixed. It cost $1 500 and gets the temperature down to around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel about 30.
Stupid repairman.
——————————————————————————–
November 8
If one more smart a*se says ‘Hot enough for you today?’, I’m going to f*ckin’ throttle him! F*ckin’ heat! By the time I get to work, the car’s radiator is in the red, my clothes are soaking f*ckin’ wet and I smell like baked cat!
——————————————————————————–
November 9
Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in the ol’ car. I thought my f*ckin’ arse was on fire. I lost two layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my legs and my f*ckin’ arse. Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried a*se and baked cat!
——————————————————————————–
November 10
Weather report! It might as well be a f*ckin’ recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and f*ckin’ sunny! It’s been too hot to do anything for two f*ckin’ months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn’t it ever rain in this damn f*ckin’ place? Water restrictions are next, so my $5 000 worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the f*ckin’ pool. The only things that thrive in this hellhole are the f*ckin’ flies. You don’t dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the f*ckers!
——————————————————————————–
November 20th
Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 f*ckin’ degrees today. Now the air- conditioner’s gone in my car. The repair man came to fix it and said, ‘Hot enough for you today?’ My wife had to spend the $3 500 mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid f*cker.
F*ckin’ Newman! What kind of sick, demented f*ckin’ idiot would want to live here!
——————————————————————————–
December 1
WHAT!!!! – Today’s the first day of summer!!!!????
You are f*ckin’ kidding me!
Klopp did wonders for Liverpool, they believed in themselves.
Not advised. My leather car seats are bleu/grey. They do not bank heat and then blast it out on the nearest sucker who might just so happen to rest his bottom on them.
Third degree burns on the back of your thighs are unnecessary, to say the least.
Soooo, the cat is out of the bag.

U.S. military and diplomatic officials are weighing plans to send special-forces troops to Kyiv to guard the newly reopened embassy there, proposals that would force the Biden administration to balance a desire to avoid escalating the U.S. military presence in the war zone against fears for the safety of American diplomats, U.S. officials said.

As a reminder, the following is a list of my personal pronouns. They are central to my identity and any failure to use them correctly will result in the crushing of my self-esteem and the inevitable compo payouts:
Legend
Tripod
Remington Steele
Yours in pronounery,
Ladies, call me Bae.
From The List:
And I’m particularly keen to see how this works out::
It’s important for people to get your pronouns right while you’re hanging from a crane.
If Putin is dying all Zelensky has to do is hold out.
Problem veith that is there is a big difference between:
Terminal, but not sick yet
Deteriorating, but not feeble
A month to live, loss of fine motor function and muscular function
Wasting away with weeks or days to go, tumours suppressing normal mental faculties
If we’re only at two, it could still be about half a year.
Also too I have sympathy for who I see as a brutal dictator. If he really is sick, he’s going to be euthanized by a rival.
Purple used to be the colour of royalty – of monarchs who used to pump out as many offspring as they could to keep their dynasty alive.
Now it symbolises wet docking and anal bleach. Nice society you’ve got there.
The security of embassies is the responsibility of the receiving country. The only question they should be weighing is, is it safe or not? If not, pull them back.
5. Just holding on (literally, as in to the desk) & waiting for the deer antler blood to kick in.
So I wonder what Holmes a Court want’s for his two pieces of silver.
Presumably he has renewball investments up the wazoo, and the teals will be prostituting themselves good and hard to make those pay.
Oh.. and the constant bleating for a federal ICAC will continue now the ALP/Green block is in power, right, yes ?
I didn’t put this on the election thread, as it’s more to do with what the next three years will be like…

Election 2022: lessons and consequences
Joel Agius

Joel Agius
This year’s federal election was insane. It was chaotic. It was all over the place. And it has catastrophic consequences for this country.
Let’s not bother with semantics – we need to cut right to the chase. Anthony Albanese is the Prime Minister of Australia. Labor has a majority government, albeit only just, which means it will be able to govern in its own right. The Senate is comprised of way too many Greens and is likely to drive policy.
Why did Labor win? It most definitely is not because they are popular…
Labor’s primary vote of a mere 30 per cent – well below the prediction of 36 per cent – demonstrates that only around 1 in 3 Australians actually support them. The Liberals had a higher primary of around 36 per cent, yet due to the preference system in this nation (which is now going to be a significant point of contention and the subject of much debate), the party that came second overall gets to govern.
The low primary votes for the two major parties should have both of them questioning what they can do to get this to a point where they can practically guarantee themselves a confident majority, much like that of say, the Abbott government of 2011.
It is clear from such low primary votes that Australians have become disenchanted with the major parties. The duopoly that has ruled all too comfortably for decades has been dealt a major blow. This has been demonstrated in the loss of seats that were once a sure thing for Liberal now falling into the hands of Teal independents. The tragic reality for Australia is that those seats are in the possession of single-issue Eco-fascists who want to bring in policies that will strangle prosperity in the name of Climate Change.
The so-called ‘Teal Independents’, who are basically Greens in disguise, have managed to win themselves a good portion of the crossbench. Alongside them will sit Adam Bandt and several more Greens who managed to co-opt seats of their own.
The common misconception is that this lot beat out the majors because of Climate Change. This is not completely true. Yes, there were likely a number of young people in particular who voted for these candidates because they have been indoctrinated with climate fear-mongering in the education system, but this vote was also about people being sick of the majors.
Going back to the dismal percentage of primary votes each of the major parties received, it is clear that Albanese did not win this election. Scott Morrison lost it.
Labor didn’t win, the Liberals lost.
The reason I frame it like this is because the Liberal Party botched this one up big time. They have been playing around with progressivism for years and if there is one thing organisations, companies, and even governments who toy with the world of the Woke know what happens: go Woke, you go broke.
The Liberal Party have learned the hard way what happens when you try to become a carbon copy of your opponents. Editor of The Spectator Australia Rowan Dean was spot on when he pointed out in his editorial that the Liberals lost when they said they were committing to Net Zero, an utterly destructive policy that is only possible in the imaginations of globalist climate enthusiasts.
Morrison also failed in trying to be a people-pleaser. When you try to please everyone, you inevitably please no one. That is what the results of this election reflect. And so it is only right that Morrison has stepped down as the leader of the Liberal Party. If he had any decency, he’d resign entirely.
But for those that still think this is solely about Climate Change, take a look at who in the Liberal Party lost their seats. Dave Sharma, Trent Zimmerman, and likely Josh Frydenberg all lost to Teals. All three of these men were from the infamous ‘moderate’ faction of the Liberals, which has driven them further and further to the Left. It was the same faction Turnbull was a part of. Yet they lost. So too did Terri Butler, the Labor MP for Griffith, who placed third to the Greens, who won the seat, and the Liberal Party.
Meanwhile, Conservative MPs held onto their seats.
The major lesson for the Liberal Party here is that it is past time to return to its conservative roots. It is something that fellow writer for The Spectator Australia John Ruddick was attempting to bring about for years before he left to run for the Liberal Democrats. The Liberal Party needs to democratise fully and allow the members to select their candidates, rather than having someone like Morrison parachute in whoever he wants (look at how terribly that worked out).
The Liberal Party needs to abandon the inner-city. This has become the land of elitist wets who are looking to make money off renewable subsidies. Stop trying to pander to them and start winning back people like me in the West who possess real conservative values that include things like small government, less tax, more freedom, and protected civil liberties.
It should also consider supporting independents like Dai Le in Labor held seats so as to prevent them from going to Labor. Le managed to win what has long been a safe seat for the Labor Party, likely due in part to Labor’s contempt for the people of the electorate in parachuting in Kristina Keneally, who has now proven to be one of the most unlikeable politicians in Australia.
Now that Scott Morrison is no longer leader, the Liberal Party should install a conservative Opposition Leader and a conservative Deputy Leader. Peter Dutton and Andrew Hastie would be a reasonable duo. The Nationals should also install Matt Canavan as their Leader.
Another key lesson from this election is that we need both better education and better voting education in this country. Although the education system is unlikely to be reformed in the way it should under Labor, who will push it further towards identity politics and indoctrination with Leftist ideology, we need to teach the next generation of voters about the problems with socialist type policies.
Although, if the next three years go how I expect them to, they may just learn about the impacts of such policies inadvertently also known as the hard way.
The reason I say we need better voting education is because it is clear that people still do not understand the preference system nor how to control their preferences. This, coupled with indoctrination in the education system, is what gets us into situations like the one we now find ourselves in.
So here is just a brief outline of what you can expect in the next three years of the Albanese Government.
There’s going to be a lot of spending. Labor will be throwing money at public housing, wages, aged care, and healthcare. They will also spend countless millions, or even billions, on the weather. Albanese has said he wants to ‘end the climate wars’ and create a ‘renewable energy superpower’. Inevitably, that means we’re going to be buying solar panels from China and there will be a greater frequency of blackouts.
Chances are there will also be more mandates and lockdowns in the years to come for many of us. But the people of Western Australia and Victoria should be happy with that given those suckers for torture just voted for more of it.
We can also expect a Federal ICAC stacked in Labor’s favour. Oh, and they also want to make good on their commitment to the Uluru Statement, ironically after just electing a white woman over an Indigenous man in the seat of Hasluck.
The big winners are China, people smugglers, and globalist organisations like the World Health Organisation and the World Economic Forum. The big losers are the Australian people, who will be funding Albanese’s insane promises with increased taxes and who will have to suffer through the rotten fruits of his policies for the next three years.
The Liberals better learn, otherwise they’re going to be doomed for multiple terms in Opposition, and this country will be doomed to a longer period of Labor government.

the dead-eye Thunberg is a nice touch.
Not keen on a booster, but since we have joyfully re-elected fascism, then I don’t want to lose my job eventually…
So why isn’t Novavax approved as a booster?
ATAGI recommended it on 2 April. Why the holdup?
Well, time for the apology .. having stated, emphatically, several times that KK was a shoe-in because of apathy and putting money ($50) on it I have to say, with joy,
“I wuz wrong, dead wrong and pleezed to shout it”.
My only excuse is that having recently been moved (AEC) into Fowler from McMahon after 30 years I reasoned that the apathy that elects the “turtle”, scum tho he is, election after election was endemic to the surrounding seats …
Wonderful to be proved wrong! ..
but a word of caution .. Dai Le’s campaign was funded, primarily, by Fairfield Council .. Fairfield Council, tho the Mayor masquerades as “independent”, is still part of the rusted-on “old school” Labor branch stacking system soooooo don’t expect any fireworx from the Fowler “independent” …..
The Mayor pushed the FCC support of Dai Le thru based on opposition to “parachuting” an outsider in rather, I think, than any overwhelming belief in victory ……!
after all, when it’s other folks money … LOL!
Simon should be worried…despite their promise to raise no new taxes against Australians, the Greens will be exerting all the pressure they can muster for a tax on the super rich. Not that he’d mind paying his fair share, I’m sure, community minded chap that he is.
My wife, as usual, made a simple and accurate observation about the election.
She noted neither of us took the usual interest in the campaign or tuned in on election night.
ScoMo’s leadership, mostly a lack of it, didn’t attract the voters to listen or care and so general disinterest morphed into vote for a change or a high profile independent to show you’re shitty.
ScoMo will be rapidly forgotten and that’s why he lost. A political mannequin pulled from the window.
I hear she has close links to the Cabramatta branch of the Liberal Party, despite being officially banned for ten years.
It would be nice if the Greens return to their moonbeam roots:
1. Antivaxxer normalisation.
2. Want standing stones to control the rain and sea levels.
3. Declare nuclear engineering to be in the realm of indigenous wizardry, druidism and pre colonial science.
4. Abandon consumerism and debt, declaring the public purse no different, and to practice a back to the land movement for unproductive public serpents.
If only Bandt grew out his hair, grew a beard and attained a malevolent west end theatre accent.
Join us or die, Adam of Locksley.
Now there’s one sour faced, vindictive spirit that won’t be missed.
Err, Simon?
Cousin, you’re very dull.
Because it’s blunt you idiot, it will hurt more!
Why is Dai Le banned from the liberal party?
How can a council fund a candidate in a federal election?
The Teal ladies are already telling Albo what he should be doing to gain their support.
Keep it up girls.
The public will rapidly get sick of you. You’re not in government.
Oops….”their promise of no new taxes” referred to Charming Jim and the Labor Pardy, not the Greens, who to their credit have never lied about their intention to levy new taxes on Australians.
I’m just going to check if Jim was standing on Leopard St, Kangaroo Pt with the River City vista as a backdrop when he made that promise…
Here is the answer, rosie.
She defied the party machine.
“but a word of caution .. Dai Le’s campaign was funded, primarily, by Fairfield Council .. Fairfield Council, tho the Mayor masquerades as “independent”, is still part of the rusted-on “old school” Labor branch stacking system soooooo don’t expect any fireworx from the Fowler “independent” …..”
So what, I’ll take a thousand Dai Le’s over the Teals…..all of whom were funded to the tune of millions of dollars by SSS, Sinister Svengali Simon.
I don’t expect any fireworks from any of the independents because unless they can wield power, they’re largely useless. In the immortal words of John Spender, Princess Allegra’s daddy, they’ll “achieve nothing, absolutely nothing”. However Dai Le has already accomplished something significant, she slayed perhaps the bitchiest, nastiest and most unsavoury person ever to walk the Australian political landscape.
Thank you Dai Le….and I hope that Kimberley Kitching is smiling down, wherever she is.
“So why isn’t Novavax approved as a booster”
Because it is?
Someone I know had it as a booster in March.
Don’t worry I gave his old man some cash around 1990.
Child hepatitis.
Thanks Calli.
So Daily is a liberal in independent clothing.
I see someone is coming to the party a little late.
As I understand it, she ran for mayor of Fairfield as an independent against the Liberal candidate while a party member.
Can’t answer the other one.
Now there’s one sour faced, vindictive spirit that won’t be missed.
Yep Roger
The supercilious droning tone in her voice on Q&A was torture.
Which raises the question…
If Le got banned for that, what will they do about Turnbull, who urged Liberals to vote for “independennts”?
Banning him would be a good way to get off on the front foot on a new start.
She was an ABC favourite, also featuring on radio up here frequently.
.” Stop trying to pander to them and start winning back people like me in the West who possess real conservative values that include things like small government, less tax, more freedom, and protected civil liberties.”
But Monty said!
Why is Dai Le banned from the liberal party?
How can a council fund a candidate in a federal election?
Officially, I’m guessing, they can’t .. but the Mayor of Fairfield has been very out-there vocal with his support .. stating several times,
“We wuz robbed they can’t “parachute who they like in” ..
Lotza & lotza corflutes, advertising and letterbox drops for Dai Le and these don’t come cheap .. someone paid for it!
And the irony is most of Fowler is in Liverpool not Fairfield (McMahon) ..
Can’t recall a word on the subject from whoever is Mayor of Liverpool .
Great article TE though ‘Labor didn’t win liberals lost’.
Gets said every election.
I didn’t watch election results either, first time in forever.
We’ll be crossing and recrossing Capricorn over the next week or so. There was a little pyramid on the Developmental Road heading south to tell us so yesterday, a complete contrast to the large structure on the Stuart Hwy heading north.
Put this into my mind.
In other words shatterzzz, you don’t know who paid for them.
I seriously doubt Fairfield council was footing the bill for conflutes and handbills.
Seems more like Dai Le might have had liberal party support.
Between the Mean Girls & the Teal Girls, Elbow is going to be the most hen-pecked PM in our history.
The media is pushing the “women voting for women” trope hard this morning.
Are women really so shallow? Perhaps, in the wider community, they are. Never in history have they been more pampered and heeded, yet they want still more. Perhaps, like drug addicts, they don’t understand the principle of ever diminishing returns.
We appear to have a substantial wodge of the community who have zero capacity for happiness and contentment.
How many teals drive evs
Have solar panels.
Only buy locally sourced food
Live modestly because there’s a climate emergency?
I’m betting zero zilch nada.
They will all be indistinguishable hypocrites.
“We appear to have a substantial wodge of the community who have zero capacity for happiness and contentment.”
Enlightened secularism.
The Liberals ran their own candidate in Fowler, but they did preference Le on the HTV.
I gather she has her own support base.
Maximum Leader:
Australians have voted for higher wages, for good jobs, for better healthcare and a decent retirement.
Also Maximum Leader:
Bend to my will or lose everything.
The Liberal Party needs to abandon the inner-city. This has become the land of elitist wets who are looking to make money off renewable subsidies.

Does Joel Agius read the NewCat?
He has the Teals and their Godfather well summed up.
“We appear to have a substantial wodge of the community who have zero capacity for happiness and contentment.”

Bang on the money #1 – Gez:

At the moment I am working with a family with an alcoholic son and brother , who has had addiction problems since a teenager as he told me when I first sat with him and heard his story . The well meaning family have for all these years have enabled him to continue this lifestyle in the misguided thinking that they were helping . I am now comparing Australians and the Liberals as the misguided family enabling the green cordial drinkers to be rescued and do it their way . What has been allowed by the government is woke nonsense in education , climate change taught as propaganda and not historically how it occurs all through time eg Greenland , Roman warming etc etc even dinosaurs and high CO 2 . What will this mean everyone will suffer, but until there are blackouts and we can’t flush toilets, high inflation and supers raided no one will learn the lesson unless through experiencing more pain .
Iam with this family who have had enormous pain for thirty years and who now understand enabling and today I will be putting in the new rules no more rescuing , suffer the consequences but we will be there to help with recovery . Of course no guarantees because the choice has to be made by the alcoholic.
I see Australia having to go through a similar experience ,even though
I bet majority did not really think about consequences of the enabling preferences and those who did will suffer also . Thirty % voted for Labor hardly a majority for the brothel creeper who went to a Thai massage parlour selling sexual services , illegal in his electorate for a back problem . see Hansard . A question for all those woke women who worry about treatment of women where those Thai girls working under duress ?
Students trash South Carolina high school; administrators decline to press charges
However, WBTW reports officials at South Carolina’s Darlington High School do not plan to involve law enforcement at this time despite “damage requir[ing] ‘extensive work’ from custodial and school staff” and potential criminal charges of trespassing, vandalism and burglary.
In restorative justice style, that decision was made “in consultation” with local police so as “to keep the students from getting criminal records.”
Darlington County School District Superintendent Tim Newman said that while “this was a serious situation with serious consequences,” the incident “does not have to define the future of these students.” Darlington Police Chief Kelvin Washington added that while “multiple laws were broken, and charges [still] could be brought against the violators,” he supported the district’s decision.
Darlington High is over 60 percent African-American with the entire the student body eligible for reduced or free school lunch.
I happened to reread this bit yesterday in 2 Timothy:
Seemed to fit the Teal Troupe but written nearly two millennia ago. Apology to lady Cats who might be offended!
Quite so Roger. No doubt Malcolm couldn’t help himself but kick some cash into the Climate200 cult running against Liberal candidates, where’s his automatic 10 year expulsion?
And, on the other side of the coin, I expect “We Wuz Robbed!” to turn up any minute now.
More women are studying vaginal knitting at universities than ever.
The young Australian females are whores to socialism, brainwashed into believing men are the enemy.
They believe themselves to be educated, not indoctrinated.
This is as obvious as dog’s balls, yet other women here still ponder the mystery .
FMD.
Meanwhile the Liberals are tortured. Should they try to outbid the Teals next time to get those blue-ribbon seats back?
Hold on, there’s no outbidding the Teals. Should they then try for those working-class outer-suburban seats, which they’ve never won, by going back to traditional conservative values and common sense? A Trumpian strategy. Seems far fetched. There will be no path back for the Liberals, while “climate change” is the cause du jour.
You know something, Sancho of the slip lane?
Like this?
I also just watched a line up of yoof who support the Greens. Pretty much 50/50 male/female.
Another sector treated with pampering and deference. No wonder there’s a push to lower the voting age to garner still more.
I guess I’d be angry too if I pissed $80 meg up against the wall only to discover the punters could see straight through me.
OH, GREAT. NOW THEY’RE SUICIDAL: We At The Babylon Bee Would Like To Announce We Have Obtained Dirt On Hillary Cli-
The moment has finally arrived. Many people have claimed to finally be able to bring down the Clintons with evidence of their ALLEGED wrongdoings. But the powerful family has always seemed to evade arrest and conviction for their ALLEGED dark and sinister crimes.
Until now, that is. Because our investigative team here at The Babylon Bee is one of the best. There’s Dan, who’s really good at googling stuff. There’s Adam, who we send undercover places by stacking him on two other employees inside of a trenchcoat. And there’s Travis. We’re not really sure what he does here. He’s just Travis.
What about being able to phone in your vote if you claimed to have covid?
Nothing to see there, Sancho of the slip lane of lies?
People ringing up, pretending to be sick, letting somebody else who had to be jabbed for starters, fill out their form that the voter couldn’t see?
Seeing Sancho mentioned it.
Don’t worry St Ruth.
I am sure Prime Minister Kelly will set things right.

I ws scrutineering last night. The preferences didnt even get looked at. They took the 2 highest candidate votes and allocated the rest of the votes based on who of the 2 was highest on the voter ballot. I find this a bit sus, I questioned it and got told thats the way it is done. So much for preferences
By the way the informal vote was 11.5 %
Just saw this post on Jo Nova’s latest discussion of last night’s results. Interesting.

FEEL BAD STORY OF THE DAY
Our friend Steve Kates writes from down under to comment on the defeat of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison by opposition leader Anthony Albanese.
Steve draws our attention to two posts. First, his own post this morning with a headline that says it all: “The election result in Australia was just about as bad as it could have been.” And then to Peter Smith’s Pipeline post “‘Greenslide’ in Oz Dumps Scott Morrison.”
Steve comments: “This will be a far-far left government that is either part of a trend or part of the highwater mark this madness will reach….I don’t think anyone in the US really gets it, in part, no doubt, because your media see nothing to complain about. But this is now part of the Biden-Trudeau-Ardern axis that is reaching further outwards. We live in such dark times and they are getting darker.”
How did I delete experience?
Clive needed to hire a hard arse political operative/strategist like Dominic Cummings. Concentrate on the senate and a few reps seats that are identified as maybe winnable.
Fairfield City – Meet your Concillors

Who should have we voted for, Sancho?

Of course the election was rigged and corrupted, only a moron could come to any other conclusion.
We have been living under a state of emergency for two years.
That’s communism.

Starting from the bottom in the Reps.

Lib fourth last.
From the top.
LDP at #1.
Assorted minors and independents filling up the rest, but UAP at the last of those.
The Senate.
Above the line.
Basically followed the LDP ticket but pushed UAP down to six.
Included Libs at seven to ensure vote didn’t exhaust.
Having taken nothing to the election (other than SloMo bad) I think Albo will have a real dog that catches the car moment. Unfortunately a career of “I fight Tories” makes him the least intellectually equiped for the job. Arguably that was Abbott’s problem, albeit after the carbon tax, mining tax and boats, each of which was a significant accomplishment. Albo enters Federal ICAC and the Uluru Statement to his (and more importantly our) considerable peril.
