Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.

This is how Dutton wins:

So, I was saying at least a year ago here on SN the Labor Party strategy was long term 3-4 terms, incremental change/ keep people relaxed, change a government and you change the country thinking, when the anti Albo narrative started …. and Dutton’s nuclear folly and Trump was just helped … further, people have wised up that the Liberal Party stand for bugger all, what are their values as they relate to real people?

LNP getting slaughtered.
Albo back with an increased majority.

southernraw Saturday, 3 May 2025 at 08:54 pm new

@guysmiley i personally think the Albanese government have been fantastic. They had to fix the Morrison shit show, and also recover an economy decimated by Covid, while implementing new, progressive policies. Huge fan, maybe my fave P.M since Bob Hawke.

Yeah he's got a job to do though Ben, I almost feel bad for him, I don't, but almost.

Or not.

Bill Shorten has forever endeared himself to me tonight with his scathing rebuttals of all the attacks on the Labor party. Maybe not PM material, but a solid pillar for the party.

I’m a bit confused where quadzilla disappeared to. 3 years of albosleazy disappeared weeks ago at the start of the election campaign.
Not even having a go mate. What’s going on?

southernraw Saturday, 3 May 2025 at 08:59 pm new

Michaelia Cash losing her shit about how social media brutally destroyed Dutton and thats why they lost. hahaha.

Close game at the G. Pies in front just. Is a clean sweep possible. You just know Indo is gnashing his teeth and punching his cushion in hope of one small victory tonight. Carn Catters!! (sorry AW).

Michallea Cash on 7 now with her head up her cloaca. She’s definitely not bringing the Libs back to the centre in the future.

AEC have Sarah Race ahead 50.16 to 49.84.

A way to go yet but it looks like McKenzie could be out.

Anyway: great work by Albo & Co.

Jacinta P apparently wading in on the Liberal Leadership question on Sky. Erm, not her party.
Footy has been good.

AlfredWallace Saturday, 3 May 2025 at 09:04 pm new

Just heard a whisper, now, One Nation didn’t win, Trumpets didn’t win, Duttons Buttons didn’t win, Greens didn’t win.

Well, Labour must have won.
Australians have opted to continue with a party that’s got the wheels in motion and at least won’t be white-anted for the next three years.
Let them govern and let proposed policies be enacted for once.

How’d your Liberal Party go pal ?

Gs-Co you fucking try hard Right Wing piece of Pigeon shit. No, full of shit is more apt you’re just a YouTube infomercial, like Blowin, nothing original, sign of a lowly range of intelligence, never providing any of your own knowledge because you’ve got none, like Liberal, got nothing, nothing at all, nada, zilch etc. AW

Edit. Enjoy a slice of humble pie, better consume it now, it’ll be crusty by the morning. Rightard.

Jacinta Price has cracked it big time.

Now it’s the media’s fault.

Ferguson can’t get a straight answer!

Jacinta is delusional.
And the sneering and belligerence doesn't help.

Is she trying to look intimidating with these big lads standing next to and behind her?

She's a moron speaking, unsurprisingly, like a moron.

"Peter Dutton projected to be first opposition leader to ever lose seat in election."
Beautiful.

Off grid and all that....

Still a lot of seats that are in the 'too close to call' arena.
Really hoping Cowper goes to the Independent!

Jacinta’s interview was a train wreck.

Zero accountability.

Fair question: did the MAGA association impact the Liberal brand going into this election? Her response shows contempt for voters.

Any thoughts on what Spud might do with his time now he's unemployed?
I picture him as the kinda guy that will park his car at the highest hill nearest to his home and tune his cb radio into the police channel and listen to all the incoming and outgoing calls...kinda feel a part of it. Team player!
Or maybe build model military aeroplanes. I could respect that.

He'll already have his cushy corporate job lined up with one of his lobbyist mates. Just like ScoMo.
