Why, that’s Their ABC!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmhGYB4NdYc For the benefit of you young fellows, that’s how to use a handgun!
Might be worth a few minutes read. Orban versus EU
Albo wants to address the real division in this country(sic) ?
like … the one between Communist cock-suckers and normal people ?
I reckon Sleazy is blaming the Jews already.
Hey, where’s our resident pervert apologist? He’s been hiding all week, not a word.
The answer is money. They are comfortably off and no matter what life is like for the rest of the country the people in those electorates have enough to withstand any misfortunes.
Some of that dosh better be in panels, batteries and generators because if there’s no power money won’t help unless you burn it. Go turtle!
Nats win, Hipkins concedes in New Zealand.
Two down, Poland to go.
Yes he does.
Whinging. ‘Let’s find a different way’.
There is a different way. One that doesn’t involve packing taxpayer cash into the Noosa Noels of this world.
C’mon Elbow. Fall on your sword son. The pension awaits.
Albo actually saying some sensible (if vague) ways forward.
Marles was worried about his schooner getting stolen
Okay so he’s going to legislate the Voice? With 60%+ of the population rejecting it? Haha this is going to be the new Stop The Boats election winner for the coalition if he goes down this path.
Now we are ALL Australians – Albo.
Yeah right. This duplicitous commy grub thinks the indigenous is the biggest issue facing Australians. NO Albo it , isn’t. It’s our ridiculous COL that’s the issue. Your vanity project failed miserably. Just do your fkg job.
He’s about to cry
He is not addressing the No voters at all. We are still the outsiders.
Two down, Poland to go.
Yep, I’m counting C.L.
He’s so full of shit. Shut the feck up Albo, you colossal fraud.
Hes tearing up the big sook.
Oh STFU, Albo.
You tried to wreck the country out of vengeance and spite and you lost.
Jacinta doesn’t make it to his list of outstanding women in the NT.
Jerry.
BBBWWWAAAAhahahahahahahahahahahaha
You are all so unkind.
I love it.
Why did he waste so much time and other peoples money only to turn around and say we need to work on closing the gap. Good grief.
Manfully holding off the snivels.
She looks weird.
65.000 years? Time enough to make a wheel?
I’m thoroughly enjoying the commentary. It reminds me of the heyday of Carpe’s weekly Queer & Atrophied threads.
The lady will and testament of Albo Bitter.
Who gets denounced as traitors?
He’s having like a school principal, lecturing us.
F*CK OFF ALBO.
YOU LOST.
No idea who Jerry is or where he came from, but I suggest he disappears quick smart.
Burney on now. Not happy with democracy.
I live in Grayndler and it seems real enough to me. There is a bit of a bias from the local council towards indigenous cyclists but apart from that it is fine.
Burney:
‘Youse are racist’
For many, but not the most.
Now we go to Linda Burney.
She still hasn’t sobered up.
Aunty Gloria and Uncle Clive are unhappy.
Sod off rummy.
OMG. Stories my nanna told me.
Surely Burney needs to spend time with her family. Not fit for the job. But then again neither is Albo.
You know what would be awesome now? An anecdote about some elderly Aboriginal couple Linda Burney knows.
Per Sky, Pearson, Langton and Yes announce period of mourning, will fly their flag at half-mast, say we won’t hear from them.
Sky then switched to Bolt who was struggling to stifle laughter.
I started commenting here, after an extended period of lurking, because of the voice bullshit.
Thank goodness for a resounding no victory.
Now watching albo and burney gibbering away. Keep gibbering. No one is listening.
What a load of emotional claptrap.
Burney’s rattling on about some 93 yr olds, Gloria and Clive, who sit in the red dirt. They have certainly matched the life expectancy of most Australians.
Linda the rummy plays the racism card.
Ding Ding Ding………………we have a winnah laydeeeeees an Gennnelmen
How about a young couple that Linda knows? Let’s hear their story
How’s that obsequiousness and humility going?
The whole thing was so unnecessary.
$360Mil.
Division.
What a turkey. FMD.
I thought it while watching his idiot mug on the teev.
found myself wondering how he had the composure not to look shiftily over his shoulder
his mates having already socialised his beer nuts
Burney needs a drink.
Oh wait.
May I suggest a policy of assimilation?
And colour blind welfare.
Won’t hrear from them until the next morning – really early
Gloria and Clive are in their 90’s. That future change you’re talking about is not likely to be in their lifetime.
She missed the bit about why they wouldn’t have to sit in the dirt if people like her ensured all that cash was going where it should have.
Is this reference to a song by Mental As Anything?
No Linda, not one penny more without an Independent Audit.
Linda Burney is upset. I’m sad about that, but sorry lady you are incorrect.
Have a chat with Mal Brough.
Linda almost blubs up, but the thought of another mug of “lady in the Boat” keeps her going.
I’m glad you are all watching and I just get to read the comments.
Next.
The lid needs to be lifted on the aborindustry.
YOU MADE THIS THE YARDSTICK OF RECONCILIATION YOU IRRESPONSIBLE XUNT
Whatever damage has been done by this result, you are responsible for.
65,000 years of culture? For what, dot paintings taught by one of those nasty colonisers.
Burney blubbering now.
“Be proud of the 65K years of history.
this is not the end of reconciliation and in the months ahead I will have more to say about closing the gap.”
Albo close to blaming the Coalition – no referendum has got up without bipartisan support, he said.
I hope one of those journalists ask him if he will resign.
Elbow’s (grey) comb-over really standing out tonight.
It didn’t look like that on all the photo shoots with the new misso.
Burney stroking out like Fetterman or Biden for me please.
“My great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother knew Arthur Phillip and Bennelong – my family is the table that is the Commonwealth of New Zealand! We can move forward to be a pre-eminent force for good in the crisis in the Sahel…”
My live feed crashed. Even the technology has got bored.
Wilcannia, Collarenabri and Boggabilla emphatically voting No puts the racism canard to death.
Sleazy is blaming far-right Dutton.
LOL.
Albo just blamed the Libs for the failed referendum.
But we’ll continue to listen!
(Except to righties.)
Indigenous booths overwhelmingly voted yes! (Except NT…oops).
Listening!
Okay let’s get this pair of turkeys off the air and start seeing the WA vote trickle in!!
Wasn’t carbon fibre cultivation a chapter in Bruce Pascoe’s book?
Ooooh, you are awful.
/Are You Being Served
Oh God
This is the most fun i’ve had in a while.
Does anyone know what the vote was in Grayndler?
TE…who won the vote prediction?
65,000 years of culture …yet not one hat! FFS the sun was burning your head every day for 65,000 years (maybe a bit less if the lived in Melbourne).
Just read Tony Thomas at Quadrant, and that culture is only made better by the last 200 years.
The vast majority of the country has said NO as loudly as possible. How about you address them for a few seconds in your sad voice? No, he continues to address the insiders. Shut up, you dimwitted blob.
Albo: now its Howards fault.
He mentions Qld Aboriginal areas voting Yes but my understanding is the main NSW ones voted No. NT breakdown going to be interesting.
He even mentions the length of the Uluru statement which in his case was one of the biggest lies of the campaign.
It was Dick Emery – “Oooh you are awful…..But i like it.”
Now Guess my age.
🙂
Albo now invoking Howard and Morrison…
Big brass ones.
Sleazy being nasty.
Jacinta’s parents were on: outstanding couple as you’d expect.
Aint democracy a sh!t.
Do you still have the crate of unclaimed chaps?
The narrative is being framed:
He blames Dutton.
LOL.
That may elicit ululations from the choir but it’s not going to win you the next election, you tin-eared doofus.
Yep. It was too. One of the old man’s favourites.
Still funny though.
Exactly why there will not be much change, those pubic servants in Darwin have to have good aircon, dontcha know.
A.E.C’s latest estimate of cost is $450 mil. $364 mil budgeted.
Bruce of Newcastle at 8:58
I expect the Media Watchdog will have something to say about that.
I think the results of WA are going to be brutal.
…and on that joyous teary Albo note i am signing off. Its been a great day …but honestly a waste of time, resources, money.
Its been delightful cats.
If Labor doesn’t pull the pin on Albanese they are done.
PK, of course.
Oh no. Churchill.
Killer question
What do you say about the fact that you and the labor party are not aligned with most Australians
Wow hard to see Albo not being a one term PM, the bloke has a tin ear and is abrasive when things don’t go his way.
Media can only polish a turd so much… Cats out of the bag now on his character.
I reckon Sancho might be the winner of the poll.
Get back to Bolt, Sky. He was about to really give it yo the Yessers,
Is a conviction politician one that needs to be convicted?
He’s lost da plot.
Sneakers (RIP) didn’t do them any favours.
Albo leaves abruptly. Just before the waterworks started??
NITV talking heads on SBS.
Everything is racist.
Much chillrens are culturally unsafe at school.
Strangely enough all in favour except Barnaby, who was given about 30 seconds to speak before the scowling inciter Langton was invited to say how justifyably Angy all her young people would be.
Cow.
The Voice might not even have been a bad thing if the likes of Bess and Jacinta Price were controlling it. However, as everyone with half a brain knows, it would have been the preserve of the corporate Aboriginals like Pearson and Langton.
Vic votes NO.
Lol.
VIC going to be No.
Vic is a No!
On the Guardian’s live referendum results page it says only 54% of votes counted so far.
Do you mean the Arseless chaps in white patent leather with the rhinestone inlay and tassells with the silver buckle and bluetooth link that plays Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood when you walk down the street.
Why yes, they got an outing at the Kanamara festival.
I should raffle them off again……………..after cleaning…………..after Lady Jugulum stops wearing them to Starbucks. (I am going to get beat up).
I think the results of WA are going to be brutal.
Looking very much so Cassie.
5% above QLD atm…
Antony dives in, VIC votes No.
53:47
Danistan, tell me it ain’t so?
Get ready for the massive blame campaign against Dutton.
OMFG! Anal is claiming he’s kept all his election promises.
This dingo is delusional.
hey Albo … I can think of at least one “gap” that really does need to closed
Early days, but thanks to The Guardian website (and Rosie for the link!):
Electorate / State / Yes (%) / No (%) / Votes counted (%)
O’Connor / WA / 8.7 / 91.3 / 0.1
Durack / WA / 12 / 88 / 0.2
The Grauniad is the copium of the people.
What utter rubbish, you’re handed $100 mill per day that we whities are not privy to. In fact, we provide it in the effort we expend at work to pay our ridiculous tax burden.
Victoria in retrograde, now that outlying booths are reporting. Peaked at about 48.2% Yes.
Sleazy da big blubberer really thought he’d win.
LOL.
The arrogance of this woman. Like Yes was the solution. Absolute horseshit.
Referring to the ridiculous comment that they have to fight for everything. Every day.
His dreams of sitting at the right hand of Gough shattered.
What’s the solution?
AN AUDIT!
It has been pleasing to see lurkers and occasionals participating in the thread, in addition to the usual matted furballs. Thanks to all.
That’s the real problem right there.
How out of step is the ACT at 36% no compared with Vic 53, NSW 58 Tas 60 SA 63 QLD 66 NT 65 and WA still to come because of their location on the planet.
Speaking of corporate Aboriginals…how much did you make last financial year, Prof?
Who is the nasty Professor in maroon?
RD, the other half’s been saying that since election day. I am now in agreement with him.
WA no at 72%. Good work you brain dead grifters introducing the Aboriginal Heritage Act, which is still on the books and will be unleashed again on the farming community.
They really are delusional. Even a smashing loss can’t drag rhem back to cruel reality.
Sleazy should resign.
You have been emancipated. You deserve nothing more. Now feck off you disgusting leech.
Oi. I’m regularly dry cleaned.
ABC goes to a very angry lady professor who is about as tinted as I am.
(I do have a touch of the tar brush, as they say. 😀 )
hzhousewife, the results from Eden-Monaro, which entirely surrounds the ACT, are 58% No. The disconnect between Canberra and the communities that surround it is huge.
Emancipation of black fellas? Says the black fella Professor.
The radical centre is the far right? Um okay let’s put this one on the no fly list
This Juridical Coup d’État has been quashed. Return to your homes. Await further instructions.
Ok. Who wrote albos speech.? It is almost certainly not his work. It was emotional. But I have never heard such crap.
Might have to wait for the Rottnest boxes for the Curtin numbers today.
That would require the ability for self reflection and to be introspective of your choices.
He is to much of a whiny bitch to contemplate that
That Canberra result demonstrates the total detachment of its residents from the rest of us.
Cassie, I’m staying up to see them just for the cherry on top.
An aside.
Watching Credlin on the teev.
She has hands like square-mouth shovel heads.
Gigantic.
“How out of step is the ACT at 36% no”.
As a 76 year old, long-term resident of the ACT, I suspect skulduggery.
Truth telling will solve the problems.
Burney’s electorate votes NO.
Some Abbo ( part) uni professor Chelsea Watago being paid 6 figures from white colonisers goes on a rant about how if anything the in- voice wasn’t ambitious enough.
The awful spectre of needs based funding is then brought up by the next 2 panelists as a better solution than collective group munni….
Sliante to all you roineck, racist barbarians! Please tell me it’s true – there will be no more “welcome to Country!’
Might pop over to the Sydney Moaning Hemorrhoid. The bawling there should be monumental!
is it too early for bumper-stickers that say “yeah… nah!” ?
Not on his radar.
May be in the back room, but.
Dutton ! and Jacinta, whom we stand and applaud ! Geez, one sentence and the difference between wine to Albo’s carrot juice is stark.
I can’t watch, Cats. My horror of blood sports prevents me.
Jacinta Price has a beatific smile on her face, she earned it.
Dutton rattling on; Jacinta behind him. She is glorious, like a heroine out of a Jane Austen novel.
Dutton speaking. He’s speaking like a true statesmen, unlike the rambling, blubbering member for Grayndler.
Those are the sort of hands that grab you by the throat and say take me daddy, On OF, that’s what my oldest son tells me.
Wait, what.
Hmmmm…just a quick peek…
Dutton.
Thanks to Jacinta and Warren, who suffered deeply personal attacks.
Respects the Yes voters, but a bad idea to divide Australia by race.
Albo may’ve been pissed (as he sounded to be) but Dutton is sharp and serious.
She is glorious, like a heroine out of a Jane Austen novel.”
Yep.
It’s obvious that there’s a huge number of voters that are cautious about change, conservatism means change through evolution not revolution, when will the utterly useless Libs realise this and get policies that will fulfill that want in the electorate? They could be in power everywhere if they weren’t leftists in disguise.
I haven’t watched anything on the teev. Constantly entertained by this wonderful thread. Thanks to everyone for clever comments.
I still think this odious person Parkin could do with a little more sunlight.
He has been active in Brisbane for a while by the looks latching on to Greens type causes.
Noticed the Stan Grant spray tan look tonight too on Sky, LOL.
Cohenite…she’s more Eowynesque. Or Judith.
Cut the bugger’s head off and be done.
And no fainting, mind.
Dutton’s actually doing a decent job here.
An RC into child sexual abuse into indig communities. Boosting law (normal, not traditional) and order, housing, school attendance and so on. Hidden text – where has the money gone?
Thanked all Australians, even those who went Yes. Greatest country in the world, etc.
Thanks potatohead, and now over to future PM, Jacinta Price.
And it must run in the family. Her mother is equally impressive.
Jacinta.
Thanks Australians. We’ve said no to division on race. Said no to gaslighting.
Be proud to call ourselves Australian, that we can tackle tough issues in our country.
Okay, let’s not over-egg the quiche.
She’s going to get a ton of shit over the next several years and I don’t envy her. It won’t be aboriginals either. It will be the lillywhites
Jacinta is amazing…she’s is saying that Australians have said NO to gaslighting, to bullying, and to shrieks of racism.
My God, what a woman.
I would comment on Price’s words, but it would be superfluous.
Other than – just brilliant.
And that’s why people listened to Jacinta Price and voted NO, she is inspirational and boils issues down to their basics.
Looking at Dutton on the online feed, the tie is all wrong, a shade of a primary colour would work better a bold yellow or green would work better with the suit colour, maybe an orange, who dresses these people.
. Now now, even in jest, let’s not get carried away, I think there’s been more than enough of that lately.
And it must run in the family. Her mother is equally impressive.”
Yep.
Hey, she’s reading the Cat comments! That was my line!
Elbow:
‘I want you to vote for an idea’
Haaaaaa.
Both barrels from Jacinta. What a fine lady!
Shades of this…
https://images.app.goo.gl/BAF6Y67WE1za5JEy8
Chris Kenny you lied when you said the No campaign lied, in fact your side lied particularly about the 80% of indigenous Australians support Yes signs.
Albo … stfu and take notes you dumb-arse
Zulu above:
Call me weird, but truly feeling ashamed didn’t used to be something you advertised to all and sundry.
That uni whackjob actually said this
..
radical centre is far right
Now thank we all our God (I can’t remember the German words).
Jacinta off the cuff. Brilliant.
The Voice was a bit like the Bidens’ Ukraine war.
Its whole purpose was to prevent an audit.
It’s a great win, but there is an issue here.
The Liars brought on the ref obviously because they thought they could win. Over 40% of the population actually said Yes. Think about that. 40% plus wanted to screw over the country. That’s a big swag of the population.
“the racism of LOW EXPECTATIONS should go”- Jacinta.
Awesome.
Jacinta:
“We have to step away from grievance – that indigenous kids, their rights should be upheld like all kids. It is time for a change, to apply more accountability; no more can we listen to academics and activists who think they know better than indigenous in remote communities”.
Too right.
Fair critique of Albo by Dutton.
Well I’m all teeved out.
Not watched this much in years.
Better to let yous watch it and read the comments.
Thank you to dover_beach for this fine blog and I have not had so much fun since the days of Q & A live blogged when Gingerella and the Dregs were in government
Dutton and Jacinta are turning the press gallery into mincemeat. Great stuff!
Aunty gucci – pay that one!
Jacint is the real winner tonight. Brave, clear headed and articulate. In touch with the on the ground detail and the big picture of her fellow citizens.
Take note, losers.
Halcyon days, they were.
and half of them are genuinely stupid
and the other half are dedicated communists
this isn’t over
That’s me done for tonight, a big day of fishing waits for me in the morning.
Thanks to Colonel CB for the live link and thanks to the Cats for a lively discussion.
You are Good People.
Which gives us a hyper-extreme left?
(I’ve mentioned in the past, that I believe the ‘left’ sees the spectrum akin to a Nike logo: Themselves as the grounded, weighty base, and conservatives as the narrow, sharp, distant point that disappears into nothing).
Look at the face of that woman hostess, she can barely contain her contempt.
Two photos grabbed from the Daily Mail:
One.
Two.
Carpe Jugulum signing off really does give vibes of a Q&A thread of old!
I think it was hubris more than anything. They thought their time had come with Albo’s win last year but they will find that it just woke everybody up and now they want to know what is done with those $40B each year. I believe the activists and the aboriginal industry will regret the whole thing and wish they never started the whole Ulu?u Statement thing. If they let sleeping dogs lie they could have gone on for decades.
