“Looks like we are heading for Communism. Well played Australia.”

Was kind of hoping it was funny trolling but a look at the guy’s posts says it isn’t.

Well, they are ahead in 6 seats and they only need 5 of those. Not a foregone conclusion yet.that they won't be in minority.

But at least the Libs can't.win.

For Sky, Communism = anything to the left of Reinhard Heydrich.

Alternatively, it's anything Rupert tells them he doesn't like.

They are trying to imprint the American idea of what constitutes being left wing, which is to say mildly right wing to the rest of the world.

Yes, so much lifted American politics. He gets Joe Biden’s dementia attacks for his struggling with unemployment and the six NDIS platform points. But it feels like he had a fairly strong rejection of that kind of inane polarisation in politics.

I think the thing that sank Scomo so badly was: NOT MY JOB! Buddy, it WAS your job. Even The Mad Monk knew that.

Yes, those ads were devastating.

The counter adverts that exposed the context of some of the “not my job” quotes as being a misrepresentation were feeble because we’d had our fill of him saying it too many times in different language, vanishing on holiday in the fires, then trying to defend that.

There's a good opportunity for fortunetelling here...

Anyone care to speculate on which Libs will suddenly find a need to 'spend more time with their family' rather than spend the time on the reduced salary as a member of the opposition?

And, as I said in another thread, create an opportunity for Frydenberg.

They will go back to speculating on the trading floor with other peoples' money, forcefully taking over rival corporations, defending fellow corporate villains in court, bothering all the sheep, and digging up enormous chunks of Australia and shipping it overseas.

He would have to move out of Melbourne, though. Does Laneway Coffee deliver interstate?
