Yay, Dan the Slug Man has just crossed the 45 seat event horizon according to the ABC.
Kowtow peasants, the Stazi will be around shortly.

All this means is an endorsement of what Dan has done to you. And opened a door for more. Some people must have enjoyed it.

Not sure about that calli.

It’s certainly an endorsement of what Dan has done for some people. Those who made bulk cash from worthless private security contracts, from endless taxpayer money booking out entire hotel complexes for months, and from pointlessly expensive and potentially counterproductive construction ‘projects’ for a start. They loved it.

You can’t tell me influential people didn’t make squillions out of bottled water, hand sanitiser, covid test kits, masks and the Federal Government’s endless cash. They loved it.

Those anti-social people then able to work from home and hide productivity drops loved it. People who didn’t want to work at all were given cash to not do anything. They loved it too.

Minor, mediocre bureaucrats were elevated to godlike status with unlimited budgets. They, and everyone they gave advisor jobs to loved it to bits.

The list goes on. There’s not enough pixels. It’s a stark contrast between those who voted for the free gravy train to cover their own shortcomings and those who had their families and businesses unnecessarily destroyed by vainglorious imbeciles.

The sad fact is that Victoria’s betters are still in control of a system that isn’t yet quite corrupt enough to self-detonate.

The SFL are as soft as munty’s dick.

In which case, Knuckles, they can’t be the minority but the majority. No elites as we understand it, just enough on the teat to secure a vote.

The majority want Dan-style government.

Looks like the consolation prize of $50 for Labor to win will come in handy…
But wait! There’s more!
Looks like the Libs are going to need a Special Needs bus to get around in!
Here it is.

No-one seems to care that Hunchback is corrupt. So Victoria will get more, lots more.

Fuck!
His not hit.
That’s it I’m off.

VEC web site says it is updating Mulgrave every 5 minutes but the totals have been frozen for the last 45 minutes. As Juice Media might say… “cool and normal!”

Three hours of counting and they’re up to 33%. So over 50% in another 1hr 40mins?
Just prolonging the agony.

Interesting that Labor is picking up seats in Liberal heartland areas. Without Climate 200 doing as much to promote the teals, the Libs are still very much on the nose with their base.

The Stupid Fucking Liberals are heading for WA Liberals territory. They hold only 21 seats in the 88-seat Legislative Assembly and will be lucky to retain a dozen.

They are being eaten alive by wealthy, mainly female fools who don’t believe in the stuff we fought two world wars for.

Accelerationism!

I’m back briefly.
Oops Ed
The deputy greens leader just had a baby.
Feeling a bit pervy now Ed?

The cold, hard steel of electoral reality cuts through cooker dreams.

Twitter has provided the best answer to the term “cooker”.

Which state is the least Fucked?

Anyone who could had picked up and left.

I went to Brisbane for a bit but came back to do my degree in Bendigo. I left permanently a couple of years after graduating. My recent experience of Vic reinforces my view they need what they are are going to experience and it will be worse than anything Cain/Kirner’s maleficence will be.

Why is Australia in black?

They are being eaten alive by wealthy, mainly female fools who don’t believe in the stuff we fought two world wars for.

universal suffrage, the gift that keeps on giving

Bye, bye Kiev, hello Cote D’Azur: As Westerners send aid, here’s how Ukraine’s corrupt elites are profiting from the conflict

I note that Igor Kolomoyskyi isn’t on that list, he left Ukraine much earlier. He was the Ukraine oligarch who owned the Ukraine TV network which employed Zelensky to play the role of the honest politician in the series “Servant of the People”. Kolomoyskyi also started the political party by the same name, i.e., “Servant of the People”, which propelled Zelensky into the Presidency.

Kolomoyskyi would have been in the driver’s seat for deals with the U.S. State Department but they didn’t want to deal with a middleman so Igor packed his bags and headed for Vienna, leaving his many and varied business interests behind. His faithful servant has since nationalised his former boss’s assets, theft as a servant has taken on a whole new meaning.

Zelensky has many enemies all over the place now, not only the oligarchs who have been robbed of their ill-gotten riches, but also the U.S. State Department if he becomes too embarrassing, and the Ukraine ultra nationalists like the Azov guys and the Right Sector who would not hesitate to get rid of him if he considered a peace treaty with Vlad, or if the western aid fountain ran dry.

Zelensky’s best hope is to get political asylum in Russia.

I think it has wedged the door open to the suspension or overriding of other ‘freedoms’ as/when the elite feels the need in ‘the public good’. Politicians do not fear voters and the result in Victoria shows they don’t need to.

Scary times.

jupes, I commented on this last night – fifa are f*#ked and the picture quality this woild cup is quite possibly the worst I’ve seen for at least two decades.

Thank fuck. That tele was not cheap!

Elections have consequences.
Those who didn’t want the SFL got what is the consequence of this, more shit from Dan for 4 more years.

You have to flush the turds or democracy dies.

One Liberal Policy was to privatise the Sewerage System.
Hard to believe they expected to win any votes for that.

Samantha Ratnam, is this a dude?
She’s denying that Liberal Preferences have helped them win a lot of Seats.

the only way outta this is to accelerate the decline

Such loser talk, lol. Keep losing.

Cruise turns back to Australia, abandons Bali leg after coronavirus outbreak
Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth as seen in a file picture.

Indonesian authorities have requested that a cruise ship carrying about 2100 passengers and crew abandon the Balinese leg of its 17-day tour, following a COVID-19 outbreak on board.

Libs are like Tunisia… the only shots they fired went straight to the keeper.

The National Party won 3 Seats to take their total to 9.
Because, for all their faults, they’re the Party for White People.
Trump won in ’16 by being the Candidate for White People.
He lost in ’20 because he spent his 4 years in Office kissing Black bottoms, promoting GloboHomo in Africa, and breaking all his promises.

Again, zero blowback from COVID lockdowns. No one who wasn’t already voting against Labor changed their vote over it.

You lot should probably drop it as an issue, since clearly no one else cares.

As I said this morning, the Victorian Liberal party, so supine, so cowardly, so craven when it comes to opposing Labor on anything but particularly on climate, are being eaten alive.

And it will be replicated here in NSW next March.

As mentioned here endlessly, a completely predictable outcome. The SFLs have no idea how they got here ketcalone how to get out of it. Michael Kroger has overseen this descent into irrelevance but somehow is never made accountable. Useless Guy, who told a potential local voter recently while the Prince was listening in, that he wouldn’t attack DickDan because you catch more flues with honey etc deserves to lose his seat. He’s not a leader’s bootlace.

“Libs got a massive swing among working class north and west satellite suburbs, as befits their descent into racism and cookerism”
Yeah, the ABC panel sorta noted that, though David Davis and Tony Barry drew the conclusion that Quotas for Women and Minority Inclusion is the future for the Liberals.

The slug thinks that working class people are racists. How very progressive.

He’s right.
Trump proved that with his Build The Wall [to keep the blacks and browns out] slogan, a racist dogwhistle if there ever was one.
Then he did the ole Bait & Switch and spent 4 years kissing black and brown bottoms.
He did manage to assassinate a White man though, General Soleimani of Iran.

Seems he likes vaccines a lot. This is not good as will encourage those morons in TGA and Albo.
From Daily Mail.
A jubilant Daniel Andrews pumped his fists and declared ‘vaccines work’ as he celebrated his historic third term victory on Saturday night.

Mr Andrews, whose party were predicted to win 49 seats and an outright majority, took to the stage with his family at a party in his Mulgrave seat in Melbourne.

In a triumphant victory speech, he trumpeted his controversial Covid policies, which included a 263-day lockdown, the world’s longest.

He said: ‘Friends, these last few years have been incredibly challenging. We have had to make some very difficult decisions, some very tough decisions, and Victorian families and businesses right across our state have had a very difficult time.

‘This was a one-in-100 year event. And because of the tough decisions that we made, and … the fact that Victorians stuck together … we went out and got vaccinated. Because vaccines work.

‘As a community we were not, as some would say, divided. We were instead united in our faith in science.

Privatising Sewerage?
It’s a natural Monopoly.
The idea is nuts.

Mitt Romney at least had a successful business career.

Mitt Guy is just a loser. His weakness has allowed cookers and cultists to take over the party.

David Davis is from the old school, which makes him also weak in a modern context, but at least he knows which way the wind blows. The Libs don’t look like modern Australia. They look like an RSL committee.

Who cares if the Greens won on Lib preferences? The Libs don’t own those voters. They finished third in those seats, deal with it.

Just watched the Fifth Element with the kids. A little bit too frenchy raunchy, but goood fun escapist entertainment.
I was surprised how much it predicted for the future, just 25 years ago-
centralized driver’s license penalty enforcement
3-D printing… of femmes, but you know
robot vacuum cleaners
uber eats- actually a rather charming airborne noodle hut that docks at the window, but close enough
Heavily armed and armoured police gunning for the citizenry
gender fluid influencer, Ruby Rhod
every wry ex-champ role Bruce Willis played for the next century

Sure is quiet on the prairie tonight, comrades

Having recently escaped Viktoriastan after living there for 22 years, I am totally unsurprised that most inmates there appear to have voted for more communism. I hope they get it good and hard and often, though I do sympathise with my friends and others who are opposed to it but are stuck there. The policies and their implementation of the amoral, diabolical creature that is the Diktator, who should be in gaol, will, I suspect, embolden other Liebor state premiers to adopt the same agenda. I no longer understand this country and, as the Liebors and ‘Greens’ – passively and sometimes actively aided and abetted by LINO’s – continue unchecked to spread their communist tentacles across all levels of our society, I feel my love for this wonderful country waning as my fear for my grandchildren’s future waxes. I see no substantial source for any optimism that this bleak scenario will change. Poor fellas in my country.

I hear you but what is the solution? Some advocate emigration, firstly, that would be the same as what the immigrants coming here do, abandoning their country instead of fixing it, secondly, even if all of us could do it, where to?
I can’t agree with you, this is where we live, we have to change the political landscape, but how is the question.
I’m not living in Vic but NSW is in the same boat.

In NSW they threw out the vile Carr-Egan-Iemma regime and just got more of the same plus worse! eg abortion and selling off power stations to grifters.

I’m so over politics and politicians this morning…

These ones are better

An album with a gardening song…and it’s in my record collection too!

A big part of my interest in politics is protecting the country from the psychopaths, narcissists and grifters who are attracted to politics.

I commented recently on the LDP preferencing Animal Justice high on their list way above the other freedom parties.

Speaking to a senior member of the LDP, it seems that the LDP would rather get a seat and have Animal Justice get a seat before letting one or more other freedom parties get a seat if that means the LDP would miss out. They really would prefer to have one LDP and one Animal Justice member rather than two freedom party members if that meant the LDP would miss out.

The Libs are much the same and prefer to promote their enemies rather than like minded parties as this could cost the Libs a seat at the expense of a freedom party. I’m hoping for an upper house that has conservative/freedom parties holding the balance of power, but the LDP and Libs make that difficult.

The lower house, well a pox on both sides.

In Vic, the young fellow who was run down and hospitalised can kiss any enquiry into the incident goodbye. And the police involved can breathe easy.
yes that is sickening

I won’t do a diatribe about the Libs. It has all been said before. Menzies’ “forgotten people” have been forgotten again, maybe this time for good. Younger generations want it soft and socialistic, and they’ll get it.

When the money runs out and they actually have to work hard physically, they might get it in a different way. Time and circumstance are the only way out now…no good looking for a political saviour.

Yes but when I was in primary school they were scaring us with nuclear anihilation

no good looking for a political saviour.

true- I once thought it was Howard. How wrong I was. Left the country in worse shape than he found it. He venom against Trump really gives him away.
