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

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

give us a wave

hugs is more appropriate tbh

so hugs

<3

And we don't even require people to vote

so, how 'bout these ministerial rorts

these ministerial rorts while vulnerable members of our society are considering suicide over this fucking centrelink debacle

m8 you don't understand, the poor are bleeding this country dry with all their accrued debt that doesn't exist

if only they respected taxpayers' money, like sussan ley

welp another LNP 46 / ALP 54 2PP poll result

LIIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBSSSSSPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL

Malcolm "Even Less Popular Than Tone" Turnbull, folks.

sco mo fucking mentum
