Straylan and Kiwi politics

It boggles the mind that I don't think we've seen a more corrupt, incompetent and frankly dumb government since federation, yet is anyone ruling out an LNP win?

Bizarre isn't it? Let's hope his ludicrous fake daggy dad act is seen for the bullshit it is this time round.

#scottyfrommarketing is a bully and a liar according to members of his own party. Not fit to be PM

And rats are leaving the (hopefully) sinking ship.

Then again it is the hope that kills you. How this scandal (and others) haven't brought the government down is beyond me. They are and ethical and moral vacuum. Desk wanking, shagging in the parliament prayer room and male prostitutes procured for Christopher Pyne MP to shag in parliament. If true - wow.

British holidaymakers killed and injured in a landslide while bushwalking in the Blue Mountains. Husband and a 9 year old boy killed, mother and a 15 year old boy had to be sedated to be rescued by helicopter with serious head and abdominal injuries. A 15 year old sister was unharmed and had to be walked out in extreme distress. The helicopter rescue was amazing as they had to lower someone onto a steep cliff packed with tall trees.

Scomo is absolutely shameless. Hes now claiming his NSW power grab was to protect women. He genuinely believes he can say anything and get away with it doesn't he?

I actually had a laugh when he said that on the radio. Fairly sure the reporter then raised that it wasn't just women who he did it for, but that point got washed away.

Though who are we to doubt a man with his track record with women and trying to help them....
 
From the man who needed his wife to get him to imagine it was his daughter before he realised that rape was bad. I don't know how he has the nerve to call himself a Christian.

From a man that got his wife to APOLOGISE for the hawaii holiday and making him look bad.

HOW DOES THIS feckER STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN :mad::mad:
 
One thing we do have that many countries lack is truly batshit crazy politicians. This is Bob Katter, an MP from far North Queensland speaking about gay marriage.

The election will be called for May 21st on about 10 mins time apparently.

The ABC have a vote compass tool to.aee where you stand compared to.the major parties and unsurprisingly I came out about half way between Labor and the Greens.

 
Scomo Press Conference:
1. Liberal debt levels are a great thing
2. Vague comments about about Australians know as a universal fact that labor do all the bad things
3. Re-elect me because you know me.
4. Labor is only focused on Politics, not like me.
Swing and miss buddy.

Albo did a good job with his reply speech but knocked it out of the park when answering questions. Let's hope it continues.

That said I think it is going to be a very long 6 weeks.

It amazes me that I am thought of as a lefty. Adequate education, healthcare, housing, job security and an increasing standard of living don't strike me as anything other than the very middle of the centre.
 
The Murdoch press are already ramping up the propaganda and bullshit sound bites/talking points. It is going to be a very very long six weeks.
 
Seems based on that compass, I'm basically dead center. Though it really only focused on a couple of issues, so do feel like I'm actually a bit more to the left than it makes it out.
 
Things don't seem to be going well for Ben Roberts-Smith. From the Christian Porter school of suing for defamation and things not going to plan.

This guy is a clown. There’s a few like him in the media now that think just because they served, they’re absolved of war crimes or wrong doings.

Sorry but a lot of people serve, just because you’re an elite soldier doesn’t mean you get special treatment.

I fully respect our armed soldiers, but you can still be respectful. Guys a narcissist of the highest order and if he was in any other profession he’d probably be considered psychotic with his behaviour.

I've got a theory that he actually took this action because he gets off on reliving all his crimes publicly and it's not going to cost him a cent because Kerry Stokes is bankrolling him.

He gets to sit there, in public, and have war crimes retold as he visuals them....i think it's his kink. :nervous:

I suspect that he is so arrogant and has been so used to bullying people into submission that he actually got here thinking he could bend truth to his will. I so hope he loses this action.
 
In other news, I watched ABC breakfast this morning. Rolling coverage for close to an hour talking about the albo stuff. Mentioned it every ten mins between the hosts, spruiked scomo just pulling a jobs number out of his arse and zero mention of tudge.

I have a migraine already and it's day 2 of a six week campaign.
 
You would hope that the state WA results will translate to some degree to this election. Surely?
 
Quality maths from #Scottyfrommarketing.

This is my 8th budget. I did 3 as Treasurer and this will be my 4th as PM.

Ok then.

#scottyfrommarketing's Captain's pick to try to get Tony Abbott's old seat back from Zali Stegal (independent) isn't going well after wildly transphobic comments have been unearthed. This dufus has also employed Steggal's ex-husband's new wife to help run her campaign which seems to be motivated by some bad bloody from the divorce 15 years ago. Shitshow.

On Insiders yesterday they said Morrison is backing her at the detriment of the "teal seat" Libs, and he knows she'll lose, but he can use her vitriol for the outer seats and their hysteria of LBGT issues without actually saying anything.

Could well be. #scottyfrommarketing does like himself a bit of dogwhistling. In much the same way dolphins are fond of a bit of fish.
 
What would actually happen if any of these scandals finally really resonated with people and Morrison had to leave? Would the LNP implode or would another leader actually have an easier ride to a win?

Ha, I tried this, and while I'm about the same economically, I'm all the way at the top of that graph. But now I wonder why I'm such a die-hard capitalist... ;)

I doubt there's anything that will stop #scottyfrpmmarketing from being PM until the election. The only likely alternative, Peter Dutton, isn't well liked so I doubt that he would be an upgrade.

Well, here's hoping (against hope) something will finally stick and you'll get rid of Scotty then!
