The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

new zealand derides the fuck out of us now, we're a total laughing stock

God, I made the mistake of thinking Australia could not have a more depressing prime minister than D Trump. O hai Potato Dutton.

i mean we only just had tony abbott, a man so fucking dumb he knighted the queen’s husband

The clowns were chanting for coal at a presser to discuss the drought, they have no shame.

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHH

xp “captain’s call” as I recall it ffs

STOKED FOR THE MADNESS

at this point we may as well replace parliament with a sensible series of non-binding postal opinion polls, the results are turning out better.

otm, they hate postal surveys because the single one they did went totally against their interests

Hey Libs, hows that stable government you were always hooting about having eh?

Eh?

every time i come back to australia something massively shit happens

21st century coalition: shit at economics and crippled by internecine power struggles, yet they still project these qualities on their opponents

I like children (their livers taste delicious)

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

I DON'T KNOW

remember when beige curtain was going to be out on his arse

life was very different a few weeks ago

I am already looking forward to Albo turfingout shorten in 18 months time.

labor changes their party rules, difficult as hell for them to change leaders now

*changed

Albo seems to be aware that he is not the charismatic leader that a federal party needs

not that this has stopped Labor in the past, forcing Beazley to the top twice despite his repeated insistence that he didn't want the job and was not the man for it

What do you mean, , ‘not charismatic’?

I'm trying to find that clip where he drew on the whiteboard and said "RAIL, BABY!" but cant.

xp I don't think this is exactly it, but bless.

I thought this was going to be about which millionaire oldsters like bullying 9 year old girls.

Also where is the gofundme where we can contribute to her college fund?

at first I was like 'should I tell Ed about HECS' then realised we'd be more americanised than ever by the time she finishes high school so fair enough
