i for one am excited to determine the fate of the australian building and construction commission

prime minister basted slurpee has just let 500,000 muslim terrorist refugees in and allowed the greens to squat in mum & dad's investment property

prime minister malcolm 'lives in the 21st century' turnbull will let us vote on marriage equality but his party won't even if we do because hurrrrrrr

also; labor needs to stop over-egging the medicare tilt (we get it, we get it, stop giving the right wing press some ammunition), hype up marriage equality a bit more, really hype up that Brexit is due to a massive gap in opportunity and outcome in pommieland and, oh oh oh, mention negative gearing reform more to get the under-40s hyped up

vote for this: <photo of mal>

get this: <photo of tone>

spoken by b. hunter for the australian labor party canberra

--> labor wins 142 seats

if it's tone eating the onion, they'll get the full senate too

<wink>

--> labor takes all states & territories

the plebiscite still doesn't have proposed legislation or question text or a date, and the crackpots want to rig the count so it structurally favours bigots, and a 'yes' vote would only mean the party will then consider whether they should think about having a vote, and half the party's said they'll ignore it and vote 'no' anyway, but sure good policy why not

vote 'yes' for us to have a think about whether or not 45% of the chamber can be fucked thinking about having a vote on something or other that's ~secret~, trust us

vote 'no' because gay is icky

imagen if we had a vote on if black people are actually people and can vote and such

in 2016, not 1967

where's my fucken referendum on the republic, mal

imagen if we had a vote on if black people are actually people and can vote and such

LET THE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR SAY, if the bigots win then the oppressed are victims only of democracy

DEMOCRACY

voted. pre-polling was as packed as election day usually is.

that slick empty motherfucker's getting back in again, isn't he?

Best we can hope for is a hung senate and an expanded green stronghold in inner Melbourne, which probably means an immediate leadership spill for labour and one in 12-18 months for the liberals.

i lost hope in australia a long time ago

I'm praying for mojo

I mean a hung parliament

that slick empty motherfucker's getting back in again, isn't he?

He hasn't gotten in once yet, remember

remember this election is a referendum on the slightly altered powers of the australian building and construction commission

hung parliament: okay, I am okay with this

several One Nation senators: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M OUTTA HERE

Technical question, assuming the next senate election is not another DD, which senators get tossed first?

I thiiiiiiiiink they chuck out the 6 who got fewer votes in each state, but ca not remember that for sure

whoever gets elected to the first six years get the full two-cycle term but Senate election/quotas are a ~dark art~

maybe there won't be a fucking plebiscite now

Its about marriage, not fucking

give it time... cory bernardi may just yet grow his Senate power base

it'd be interesting if bernardi abstained from a crucial vote because he just couldn't get his dick out of that horse

So 2 things:
- how is Hanson able to run for office again when she was jailed for electoral fraud!?!?
- how is Hinch able to run for office when he's proudly been a non-voter all his life?

AND BOTH OF THEM WIN.

and hinch has been imprisoned at least twice that i can remember iirc

Go Go Harvey, Go Generalissimo Harvey Norman, Go!!

Sadly, hansons conviction was overturned

Gerry harvey can go stuff one of his cheapo hard drives up his arse

this is still going onnnnnn

labor: thanks for the support and lol malcolm you suck but you need to make this work
liberal: MEDIIIIIIIIIISCAREEEEE U MEAN

Nice to see turnbull in the shit, long overdue comeuppance on its way

i love how he was all "this is my fault, i take full responsibility, we must not blame everyone else, btw how fucking scab was that labor mediscare campaign ruining my election and all the getup protesters rigging tasmania jfc"

And Julie Bishop and Scott Fuckface Morrison being all, "We have listened, we take on board the criticisms!" But when asked what their faults were, they say, "Our campaign was too positive."

loooooooool

they refuse to acknowledge that their relentless attack on 90% of australians destroyed their vote, and that turnbull's smiley face and relative lack of baggage only saved some of the furniture

Remember when Andrew Denton tried to hire a bounty hunter to get Christopher Skase? I reckon a kickstarter to kidnap George Pell and force him back to Australia might get quite a lot of funding.

hey, then pell could call for an investigation into kickstarter too

half-expecting pell to issue a statement to the victims saying "sorry if you were raped"

people who take rejection very well and don't try to get revenge afterwards: kevin rudd

Mr Rudd had previously received vocal support from former Liberal leader Brendan Nelson, though South Australian Liberal senator Cory Bernardi had urged his colleagues not to endorse a "dysfunctional", "vengeful", "unstable", "megalomaniac" like Mr Rudd.

I mean

one seat majority babey

part of that one seat majority: george christensen

ugh

and good ol' onion boy

fuck

Sources have confirmed the Federal Cabinet voted 11 to 10 in favour of nominating Rudd but it was Prime Minister who made the final decision not to support him

oh man I had missed Kevern related cabinet leaks

remember when it was such a good idea to hold a double dissolution

[points out that Ricky Muir, The People's Senator, is no longer and the house of review is populated by One Nation nutbags going off about global warming conspiracies]

anyway here's more outright racist guff from potatohead boy

we're three years into what america is about to enter
