Gez,

Worth a nibble I think.
Hard to go wrong with a modest grab.
Luckily, no one important ever listens to Terry McCrann.
However there have been many individuals who’ve had their lives destroyed by ICAC here in NSW.
In 2003 I took my complaint about the blatant corruption over the drugs problem in this “houso” estate .. I detailed the whole sorry period with, specific, incidents and named names from both Housing, NSW politics & plod .. a week after ICAC contacted me & said, “Sorry, although it is well presented we cannot investigate because it involves plod .. anything involving plod is out of our juridiction and needs to be dealt with by the Plod Integrity Commission” ….
I replied, “What about the rest and the other folk named?” ..
Answer .. “Once you raise plod in the matter we aren’t allowed to use any of it” ..
“But, thanks for bringing it to our attention and good look with your endeavours” ..
After that I gave up! .. duuuuuh!
O, the fun we shall have.
Looking through the first preference votes so far.
Firstly Derryn Hinch is a dead duck party. A lesson in being elected to the Senate on a state law and order issue, then talking about everything but. A bit like Xenophon being elected on pokies control and then forgetting about it.
Secondly, Fat Cloive has just short of 500,000 votes, or 4.8%.
This is up 0.74% on last time.
That is an abysmal performance considering he didn’t run in most Lower House seats last time.
The “increase” amounts to about 500 votes per seat this time as against ‘no candidate, no votes’ last time.
$80 meg to go backwards.
wot, you expect it to be retrospective?
How far back should we go? Craig Thompson & Kathy Jackson. Julia Gillard’s home reno’s and the AWU?

His grandfather, Robert, said the alleged asault came “out of the blue”.
He said Daniel was due to undergo further brain scans on Monday.
“We hope they can find who did this,” Robert said.
“Hopefully someone might say they knew who did it.”
“Unprovoked, he was attacked by six or seven teenagers with didgeridoos,” Robert told 3AW radio.

Dot, the problem here is of a dying? corrupt leader whose Military/Civilian strategy for nuclear war is ‘Escalate to Win” against a foe (NATO) whose strategy is ‘Deescalate to Win.’ and whose leader is also a dying, corrupt, senile man who is hard pressed finding his feet in the morning to put his gloves on.
It’s a picture that should be arousing concern with Pre WW1 type Alliances being struck, with WW3 weaponry.
Which electorate was Cardimona running in?
How did he go?
Just saw the headlines, didn’t take him long to show his nasty streak. Also kow towing to China. Albo true colours on show.
Also civil war about to break out in the Lib’s? They need to walk away from the seats they lost. They aint ever coming back.

People understand deep down that Climate Change is a job destroyer.
The Libs could run a policy of “We will act on climate change … right about when China and India do. Oh, and you want us to be like Europe? That means nucalear.”
Mark McGowan calling Dutton an extremist and not very smart.
If I was Dutton I’d walk up behind McGowan at any future meet up and whisper boo in his ear.
Mark would shit himself.
it’s all fun and games until somebody has their eye out
McGowan on Dutton today: “He’s an extremist. And I don’t think he fits with modern Australia at all. And he doesn’t seem to listen. He’s extremely conservative… I actually don’t think he’s that smart. I’ve seen him present on things. I don’t really think there’s much there.”
McGowan? Oh, of course. Totally unbiased source of commentary.
Enjoy your orgasms munty, they might not last long.
Two things bothered my thinking this morning. Firstly, why did the people who voted Teal, not just vote Green or Labor? Secondly, I wonder what the Chinese think of Our Mr Wong of Foreign Affairs, gay female with Chinese characteristics. Do they assume she aligns with Chairman Xi? If I am correct, the Chinese take a very dim view of “their people” not rallying to the Party line (no matter how many generations on).
The way I feel today echoes the way I felt when Whitlam was elected, a dreadful sense of foreboding. Then I went overseas for ten years.
Yeah, but then he deferred to the party room and backed down on pretty much everything. His first loyalty was to them, not us.
ScoMo boasted about a miracle, and then did nothing. Probably figured he’d get another one.
In the meantime, he took a backseat to the State Premiers.
Good riddance. Hopefully someone can drag Libs back to the right, but would you really believe them? Would you expect them to follow through? Especially with all the lefties still there.
Conservatives want to save the Liberals… but what is there to save?
Meanwhile you have a traditional marriage and live in a traditional family.

Don’t feed the troll.

Fixingly.
Not sure about that. I expect there will be a few Teal oncers unless they get Albo jumping through hoops (unless the Liar Right have something to say). The Liborals are basically spectators at this stage.
And let’s think about why McClown would weigh in to the Libs Leadership contender? He has no business as a Premier in a debate that hasn’t even happened yet”
(1) He wants the Libs to remain wet – why?
(2) He obviously is trying to make Libs stay away from Dutton – why, when was the last time a Premier gave “helpful advice” to a Federal Liberal Party?

People who call themselves conservatives these days are lying. What they are is reactionaries, trying to reverse previous defeats. Their demand is to change society and destroy its institutions, not to conserve, because they don’t like what those institutions have evolved to become.
I do not live in what conservatives would think of as a traditional family. My wife is an equal, not my chattel.
Abbott was coming off 6 years of R-G-R with a nearly daily arrival of boats. That was a true drover’s dog election.
Boambee
Just have to say that all leaders of parties, states or anything else – the standard response in ALL matters of leadership in other parties is “that’s a matter for the XXX Party to decide” – stock, standard, pisses nobody off from your side or the other (or anyone in betwixt) response.
I find it “funny” he weighed in with such unhinged comments. You have to ask why…
HB agree with that on Tones… but, even so, 27 seats is still quite a show (when the luvvies are still making fun of you every. single. night on tellie).
Oh look, he’s an onion eater! He’s got big ears! He wears speedos! He goes silent for 3 minutes! He, he, he, he’s Catholic! He’s mates with Pell! 27 seats, despite R-G-R, is amazing.
Yes like that idiot who represented Eden Monaro
Just finished season 1 of 3 of a TV show called FORTITUDE ..

The usual non-specific generalities, but yes – zero as to what seats and where, let alone why the winner of the seat would publicly say there was a discrepancy when he would have romped it home either way.
No doubt the scrutineers counting the Chinese votes on Chinese computers with a direct line back to Beijing will rise up. In an unspecified manner, of course.
“McGowan is making the wager that Dutton will never be PM.”
I wouldn’t be too bothered about what the low IQ McClown says. And anyway, people said the same about Howard, Abbott and Albanese.
If you want something absolutely bonkers to watch then give Everything, everywhere, all at once a try. A bit schmaltzy at times but makes up for it in other ways.
McGowan will be lucky to still be premier by then anyway.
“Abbott was coming off 6 years of R-G-R with a nearly daily arrival of boats. That was a true drover’s dog election.”
Yes…but Abbott was also incredibly disciplined which helped.
“This is just poor form by any Premier, no policy debate, just straight out character assassination.”
yep….which is what the left do. I think it’s time to throw it back.

After the last two years especially, do you think the elections were honest and above board?
here atthe end of the comments is a good one.
They have video of it apparently.
Exactly.
This is Fat Cloive treating his supporters and the rest of us like idiots.
Firstly, making a yuuuge mountain out of a simple molehill error in projecting who were the likely last two standing 2PP candidates.
Which, as you say, was called by the likely main beneficiary and corrected. I am cynical enough to think that this might have been no more than a deliberate “mistake” to string out that juicy AEC overtime this week.
Secondly, to describe exactly how preferential voting works (with the allocation of losers votes progressively to their second, third and fourth preferences) and characterise correctly allocated preferences as a “steal”.
FMD.
Not everyone is as willingly gullible as the failed wannabe candidate for Hervey Bay.
Just athought .. LOL!

Honestly, the little gang of sneerers here are so pro government that you would have to be a goose not to see it.
They’ll dribble shit about all others until the cows come home, speculate on all sorts of things.
But say a word about the obvious criminals governing us and they won’t hear of it.
Anyone who thinks any of our “preferential” elections have ever been above board is a moron.
Anyone who thinks they would be anything but theatre after the last two years, and suggests they’d be above board would more correctly be called an accomplice.
The Wookie kept him on a very short leash. Which soon became a problem in government.
What they are is reactionaries, trying to reverse previous defeats.
Of course, when lefties of the fascist persuasion were trying to reverse their previous defeats, that was good.
Hypocrisy, thy name is munty.

Not for long .. I read somewhere last week that gets a $A1million a week from some Chicom mob in royalties for some “tenements” in WA …….
Palmer’s expenditure on the election, which seems to get the ABC in such a lather, is obviously significant but a mere drop in the bucket overall.
Palmer owns a labyrinth of companies,trusts and assets in Australia and overseas. He has substantial real estate holdings in Australia plus a significant portfolio of property overseas and, many of his companies, especially his smaller private investment ones, are based in tax havens (British Virgin Islands in particular). He has a collection of highly desirable historic cars (worth many millions of $) and whilst everyone thinks of Mineralogy and the money he gets from the Chinese for tenement access, there are a litany of other income producing businesses. He is also a significant shareholder in a large number of Australian and overseas publicly listed companies (dividend income).
About two years ago I was reading that the great fat one has an averaged income around $6m+ per week ($300m+ p/a) from his suite of investments. Yes, turnover doesn’t equal profit and some of his known companies incur tax losses but with a net worth measured in the billions of $, I doubt that Clive is too worried about dropping a reported $80m or thereabouts on the election.
Canberra bashing is always appreciated in the West. Like a good John Howard joke on ALPBC2.
No but I can tell you, there’s not too much between the ears with the Lib Dems that’s for sure.
They had weekly on line webinar meetings and their hearts maybe in the right place, but they weren’t too clued in at all about a lot. Still coming from the freedom being the natural state of man, point of view..
As reported back in January.
He he. Fall foul of Teh Paywallian guards again. Not entirely unexpected- some excerpts “Nobody’s Girl””casual vacancy””bloody voters”.
Do the LDP even own a truck?
Q. Do I think there is the occasional bit of skullduggery and creative voting?
A. Yes.
Q. Do I think it might affect an outcome in a very, very marginal seat (with a margin of less than, say 250-500 votes)?
A. It is possible.
Q. Do I think there has been more voter dodginess than in the last 120 years.
A. No. Unless evidence is produced. Evidence. Not, “Our scrutineers at [unnamed booth in unnamed electorate] tell us that XYZ happened.” or “Barry says schoolkids at Caulfield railway station were recruited for phone voting”.
Q. Do I think there has been wholesale voter fraud stealing hundreds of thousands of votes from the Great Litigator?
A. What the fuck are you smoking?
Maybe.
But they didn’t spend $80 meg to go backwards, so I’ll give them that.
$80 (eighty) meg.
Fuck.
How many Titanic replicas could we have had for that kind of dough?

I have a hunch the answer is no.
I may be old, but I remember when monty had his own blog.
Whatever happened to that?
Seems to me there are two kinds of stupid.
Hey St Ruth.
Did you predict that ScoMo would get up because he is Klaus Schwab’s preferred candidate?
Did you say that?
Latest poll results (from SMH ) interesting. I have rounded off most figures for convenience.
Coalition……………4.2 million (35.8%)
ALP……………………3.8 million (32.8%)
Greens……………….1.4 million (11.85%)
Teals…………………….650,000 (5.52%)
One Nation…………..576,000 (4.9%)
UAP………………………490,000 (4.6%)
Other……………………587,000 (5%)
BTW the above poll results are after almost 72% of votes counted.
Doesn’t seem to be anything to see here, but let’s not forget the WA rort a few years ago where they “found” a box of votes and had a re-election. Clive’s man then lost his spot to Greens. So don’t pretend it hasn’t been done or that Clive doesn’t have reason for genuine grievances.
In the last case, they should only have had a re-election if the “found box” would have altered the outcome, which I suspect it wouldn’t have (I could be wrong – was that even brought up?)
Judge wanted a new election, though.
Just over 2 million green voters.
We are so screwed.
I didn’t say he might not be disappointed, even annoyed, at the lack of outcome for his $80m. It’s obviously a very significant sum (to me certainly and I guess most Cats) but to Clive, it will not alter his life one iota. As you point out, the question is whether he will line up with his cheque book in the future.
Fleeced.
I have no doubt it happens and, yes, it might affect one Reps seat here and there.
Or, as in WA, the last Senate spot.
This is not good, and the AEC are pretty loosey-goosey when it comes to pursuit of this stuff.
But, as to the question of whether the Fat Bastard has been robbed of a Senate spot in each state and 3-4 Reps seats?
Yeah.
But nah.
This is classic smoke and mirrors from Fat Cloive.
His family motto … Obsfucate and litigate.
Why yes. Yes, I believe he did.
Only those in extreme denial would deny it.
I hope he doesn’t.
He sucks the oxygen out of other conservative minors who have a genuine interest in furthering the conservative cause and, in the end, gives us nothing.
So far his legacy to the nation is Jacqui Jackie, a mothballed nickel smelter and an unfulfilled promise of a Titanic replica.
Conservatives do not think their wives are chattel.
Hmmm.

Speaking of mothballed nickel smelters, I just looked up the Herbert results (including Townsville).

Well below the national average of ~5%, and under 1.5% in some Townsville booths.

You act like he popped your cherry then dumped you.
And yes.
I made a guess that corruption would see Sco Mo returned.
“Why yes I did” to quote those to gutless to have a bet on things.
Why?
Because the globalist media had never before given a Labor leader a hard question and knowing the election would be rigged (I mean who in their right mind would think otherwise after the last two years except for Frank of the fibs)
So I said quite clearly, it was a guess.
Unfortunately they went worse, and went the whole hard left socialist, Climate lockdown route.
For other reasons as well, as I thought Sco Mo had done such a good job for the WEF and Klaus in so far as he is a better liar than Albo and better at dribbling shit while screwing us, that they may have been concerned that Albo would be too enthusiastic and say or do something to let the cat out of the bag.
Maybe I’ll still be right about that.
Maybe they couldn’t even stop the labor green bias of the AEC from doing what it was always wanting to do this election, and let it happen.
Klaus and his mates may be rich, but that doesn’t make them bright.
Take note Lieborals. That is how it is done.
Propaganda works, especially among the young and the gullible.
There’s not a Marxist activist alive who really believes in climate doomsday, but they love the effect it is having on children because the brainwashing is seeding a revolution of the ignorant — which will fail, as revolutions always do, but the Marxists love the disruption, especially now that capitalist boardrooms have bought into Marxist doctrine.

The old left was right about a lot of things- big business, the Washington war machine for example
I’ll give you an example of how good Sco Mo was as a bullshit artist.
To this very day, people on this blog still refer to him as weak and stupid.
The whole thing would have collapsed with regards to the state’s tyranny if ScoMo allowed us to leave the country.
Only a month ago he was in meetings with a criminal organisation known as the WEF.
Nodding his head to doing all he was told.
Okay. Please step me through:
1. Exactly how the election was rigged, including the methodology;
2. In favour of whom;
3. Who rigged it, and
4. Exactly who benefits from rigging it.
As someone who’s been complaining all day that people here have low IQs, your towering intellect would be invaluable.

I wouldn’t worry about Clive’s expenses. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was some creative accounting going on, and some of that money was going back to himself.
Nonetheless, he could have spent it better, as the Teals have shown. I dunno, maybe he should lobby for a new state of Capricornica up north. With full senate representation.

How are things in the Land of the Rising Sun?
Bought the generator this arvo. Now for the transfer switch.
Wonder what happened to poor old Rubin when the lying slapper got the push. Even the name Rubin smacks of focus groups, poor mutt.
I’m just disappointed it’s taken this long for us to be Venezuela.
I’m going to the zoo tomorrow.
Labor lost Griffith to the Greens and finished 3rd on Primary Votes.
Should Labor abandon Griffith?
From “The Age.”
Nom nom nom 😛

Knocking the ladies back then.
it was his smirking that gave me the shits
for example, watch the recent clip when he’s asked the WHO question
look at the barely concealed glee on his dial
disgusting
Just think Rudd won in a Ruddslide in 2007 and still managed to con the electorate for a couple of years that “good ol” Kev was just an ordinary bloke. Labor’s primary was 43.4% at that election. Nobody likes Albo, nobody thinks he’s an ordinary bloke (he’s worse) and his pulse is flatlining.
It’s sad watching a terminal patient being brought back to life, if only momentarily.
Maaaate, “Jack” Dempsey didn’t finish 2nd at a single Booth in Hinkler, yet the DRO told the ROs at the Booths to distribute preferences to Keith Pitt, who ran 1st at every Booth and Good Ol’ “Jack”.
“Jack” doesn’t have access to Joe Biden’s Postal Vote operation, so:
Can you provide any explanation for that decision by the Hinkler DRO that doesn’t contain Tunneling Rodents?
Now gooooorne from CL’s site.
FWIW: a friend of mine was in charge of a AEC booth in Victoria . He’s no dummy. There are multiple layers of collating, checking, signing off , reporting by more than one person. Do mistakes happen? Yes but they are picked up. If there is a way to rig the ballot he ain’t aware of it. One of the few is any ways would be collusion with more than a few people involved. Just not worth the risks.
The biggest risk is when people come to vote for the Senate. A great many people just don’t understand the process. The AEC staff on the day need to go to great lengths to give advice on how to complete the form but not to lead how people should vote. Even running their hand across the top of the paper from left to right would lead quite a few to number 1 to 6 across the top of the page.
There are so many newly arrived Australians are who are so happy to vote but do not know how. Then there was the poor bastards with multiple sclerosis, bad eyesight, mentally challenged…
He also suspects quite a few LDP Votes were given in error. At his booth there were no liberal HTV papers handed out after 11am. Many people were coming in with the LDP HTV card after 11am thinking they were voting for Scomo. Nothing the AEC can nor should do about that. By hey you snooze you lose.

John Adam’s economist.
He says the question is political not economic when it comes to the powers that be crashing the housing market by raising interest rates. (Later says it’s not going to happen.)

The libs aren’t pretending at all, they are actually doing it.
He won 18 seats [had 72 in 2010, 90 after 2013].
If he hadn’t lied about repealing S 18[c], he wouldna won 18 seats, but
he mighta gone out with some dignity.
Incidentally, Liberals lost Lindsay in 2016, now it’s a safe Liberal seat held by a liberal Member.
What happened to the big C conservatives and the Fake Moderates?
They got the boot.
Stop it, you sound like an A1 Fanboi and it’s fucking ridiculous.
LDP might have lost as many votes as it gained from any such confusion this year.
Maybe they’re better off as the Liberty and Democracy party anyway. They had their name change lodged, so the AEC dropped the de-registration process (which began after new Lib/Lab regulation)… so LDP then cancelled their name change. And then the election was called and it was too late to stop them.
All fun and games. With no member elected, they’ll have to change their name now.
Don’t forget that Elbow has all those ETU (Electrical Trades Union) employees who work in power stations to deal with. The ETU take no prisoners.
Remember those old movies where people are trapped between walls that are moving inwards?
Just wait till he is being hammered from all directions.
Note the mix of arrogance and fear with which munty refuses to accept that the gains of the fascist left are not on some irrervisible “arc of history”, but might be reversed. He believes that any attempt to reverse what he regards as “gains”, but others might regard as regressive, is unacceptable.
Of course, to munty, the gains of the fascist left are right and proper, and it is unacceptable (but frightening) that others might not agree.
munty, now the tool of the reactionary fascist establishment that he has fought against (metaphorically of course, none of that vulgar violence for him), fears that he might be on the wrong side of history.
It includes some Labor heartland areas, as well. But the newer housing estates (aspirational voters) bring it over the line. In fact, Libs increased their primary vote in that seat.
Exactly.
Compare and contrast.
Ted Baillieau. Elected on a promise to build East-West Link. Dithered for two and a half years, consulting and doing studies and surveys. More worried about picking out the curtains for the NGV.
Dan Andrews. Day one after being elected you’re fucked, and by the time the next election comes around you’ve got a two year old toddler.
No chance to abort Dan’s pet projects.
“It includes some Labor heartland areas, as well. But the newer housing estates (aspirational voters) bring it over the line. In fact, Libs increased their primary vote in that seat.”
More confirmation that the future of the Liberal Party lies in electorates like Lindsay…..not Wentworth, not North Sydney, not Warringah, not Kooyong, not Curtin and not Mackellar.

The old left was right about a lot of things- big business, the Washington war machine for example
The new left, having gone full fascist, is hot for big business and perpetual war.

Australian voters are, basically, very stupid people. The large vote for the Greens and their Teal cousins wasn’t, in the main, a vote for the policies of either but more of a protest vote in my opinion.
The Greens always get the protest vote from people who aren’t inclined to support the duopoly, most of them wouldn’t know, or wouldn’t care, that their vote is passed on to Labor. The low primary vote for Labor, around 30% I’m told, normally wouldn’t move the socialists to the treasury benches, but for the large Green vote, that’s where they are headed.
On the topic of stupid Australian voters, my wife took a phone call late last week from a friend who used to live on the Gold Coast but has now relocated to Melbourne (first sign of stupidity). The topic of the election came up and wife’s friend said that she was going to vote for Jacquie Lambie (second sign). My wife told her that she couldn’t vote for her as Jacquie Jacky was in Tasmania and she (friend) was in Victoria. The friend said that’s fine, she’ll just write Jacquie Jacky’s name on the vote and that would be adequate (third sign).
These people do exist and they vote.
mUnty is too stupid to realise he’s wrong

The best scope for fraud is at source.
That is, multiple voting at different booths, or voting on behalf of others.
But there are some key features which distinguish us from the USA.
.1 Their registers are state based. People who move states can register in their new state and remain registered in their original state. Ours is national and a closed system. There are controls to stop double registration.
.2 Their system for auditing and cleansing the deceased or emigrants off the system is poor. Ours is pretty tight.
.3 Compulsory voting with turnouts of 90%+ is more likely to capture duplicate votes than a voluntary system.
Can the system be circumvented by determined individuals? For sure.
Did the Fat Bastard get robbed? Don’t make me laff.
Well, life is always a matter of the personal and political being both personal and political.
I am sitting here seriously thinking that maybe I should join the Liberal Party. How else will things change? The two minor parties I’ve supported in the last Federal elections (Australian Conservatives, and now the Liberal Democrats) have got nowhere. One is already defunct. I’ve just watched a clip from Outsiders where Liberal Senator Alex Antic is saying if there isn’t more grass roots action from the non-left perspective then the Party is totally sunk. This is especially important when it comes to preselecting new candidates who are not Party operatives but people like the LDP’s excellent Daniel Lewkovic, a businessman who got so few votes in Wentworth because noone had ever heard of him.
Change from within is beginning to look good to me. Only way to go, because the fractured Parties of the right are in and of themselves merely gnats.
Am I being delusional? Hairy is sleeping and may think so, as he’s never liked the Libs.
But is it a case of means must?
Am I just feeling optimistic because I’ve found my make-up (yay! now I have two lots!) and I’ve just emailed my friend of 40 years standing saying I will speak my mind on climate regardless so don’t even think of trying to BBC me about it (yay to that too), and we are getting the slow-leaking tyre fixed today (triple yay!)?
Cassie, maybe a bit of history might help. I was around for some of it, and knew some of the participants. I also worked for Sturgess/Greiner.
Firstly, the creation of the NSW ICAC was a direct response to the rotten to the core Wran government by Sturgess and Greiner. But, like so many of their predecessors and successors, they exempted the previous government. Since the previous government had been there for a decade …
Secondly, having dealt with both of them in those days, I can say that neither had the faintest notion that ICAC would be stacked. They were babes in the woods when it came to machine politics.
In the US, the Constitution protects elected representatives from being monstered by unelected bodies. Time we did the same.
Perhaps when citizens are afforded the same privilege.

What sort did you buy?
If the ALP guy doesn’t get that last senate spot in WA, the UAP may end up having the balance of power in the senate (remember the govt loses a vote because they provide the president).
Meanwhile, Holmes-a-Court only got the Teals for his investment, they are completely powerless. Their only achievement is moving the coalition party room further right by taking out the wets.
Kooyong, North Sydney, Curtin and Mackellar were identified as having dud representatives, the Fake Moderates.
It’s always hard to win a seat back after a dud loses it.
North Sydney took 3 elections to take back, the trick was to present a real liberal to the electorate, not a fake liberal.
If voted mattered they wouldn’t let us do it.
I thought it was interesting and sensible that Avi and Rushkan went to Davos.
Watch the sideshow or the main event?

How about we protect any citizen from being monstered by unelected bodies?
Scanning through a crank site, just for the reassurance that they’re cranks.
A claim’s being made that a bloke died just after finishing the New York marathon, and that the cause just had to be the vaccine (naturally, nobody seems to know whether this chap was vaccinated or not).
A quick check on other sites reveals that 57 people have died either during or just after completing a marathon (excluding events like the Boston Marathon bombing) between 1912 and yesterday.
Age ranges were between 19 and 61. Of those, two occurred on or after June 2020.
It’s not stopping these tweakers, though. Bless their cotton socks.
But they want them to be Lib heartland for that is where they like to live.
None of the old school movers and shakers are going to move to The Ponds or Canley Vale.
“Meanwhile, Holmes-a-Court only got the Teals for his investment, they are completely powerless. Their only achievement is moving the coalition party room further right by taking out the wets.”
Yep. I do think Svengali Simon thought he’d get to wield power and influence in a hung parliament, instead he and his chicks are powerless and amen for that.
That’s your strawman, old boy.
The ALP candidate in Hinkler, Jason Scanes, didn’t get a fair go, by the looks.
Which makes it far more likely that Labor will only make it to Minority Government.
Globalism is passing.
The future is likely nationalistic and certainly multipolar on different levels.
there you have it, monty gets to play the mommy half the time
Those breasts aren’t just for show….

Name any “wets” that got taken out?
Holmes ‘a Court delivered Government to Labor singlehanded [though he had some big donors], of course Labor aren’t going to say
“Thanks, see you in 3 years”,
those Donors are going to get their money’s worth plus Interest forever when Albanese acts on his Mandate and legislates NetZero.
I do not live in what conservatives would think of as a traditional family. My wife is an equal, not my chattel.
Are you retarded? The only people who think that are our immigrants from a rich and diverse culture that has been robbing and killing people for 1300 years.
Only a half marathon and the guy was 30.
Which doesn’t say anything especially, although it’s noteworthy.
Runner, 30, dies moments before crossing finish line of Brooklyn Half Marathon as beachgoers pack Coney Island Beach for the hottest weather EVER recorded for region in May (22 May)
The temperature rubbish is usual Daily Mail hyperbowl, since he died at 9am in temperatures in the seventies F. It was 60 F when they started.
Which is why they’re the wrong people to run the party and stand as candidates.
Only people who have worked in the real world five years (nb: not in a bank or big end of town) should be allowed to serve. Too many lawyers and uni trained professional pollies infest both major parties.

Gold is holding steady at the moment.
Silver has peaked – not a lot of value there unless there’s a big re armament in high tech weaponry.
Copper shares are worthwhile due to weapons use.
Storable food, a genset, rainwater tank, a couple of 44s of fuel.
But I’d go for gold in the two year timeframe.
