The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

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 will never stop laughing at this, never ever.

Darling of the anti wind movement in energy and an MCA lawyer in environment. Fuck these clowns.

news corp is racist

wait, that’s not zeitgeist, that’s all the time

carry on

who fuckin tonight

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

^^^

i am sick to fucking death of people referring to various rancid bigoted piles of subhuman fucking dick biscuit as “the prime minister”

Eh, you'll get numb to it after 19 months.

Is that when the next one is due?

See, you've got something to look forward to!

Morrison could push the election to November, giving him 15 months in the job, but is very unlikely to split the lower house and the Senate elections in one year. The Senate has to hold their election by May 18th, because of Trumble's double dissolution.

holy shit VG NAILS the thread title

fifth prime minister is a sewing needle

sewing needle would be best prime minister in 20 years tbh

side-note to Adam and Trayce: Hope That I Get Polled Before I Die: THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS 1982-2002 POLL - Voting, Campaigning, Discussing

oh shit cheers sic

the current prime minister is a shit fucking dickhead

(I have been saying this for most of the last 22 and a half years)

This one is worse because he is prime minister right now.

In other news Harry for Presdetn?

this cockbiscuit wants to let schools boot out gay kids because he's the next toxic bigot rolled out by the toxic bigot party

i have completely run out of things to say, they're subhuman turd scooters

another normal day in australia: the toxic bigot party votes for neo-nazi slogans in the senate

I never expected someone who got elected as the ‘human headline’ to be less of a cockfarmer than a good 50% of parliament.

And the self-proclaimed "centrists" being better on social justice and general not-shitness than the ALP

(which centrists?)

the federal ALP have been in a behaviour and policy nosedive since the NSW ALP govt began a protracted implosion under the weight of its corruption wing in 2005, and the federal party went "hmmm, let's learn exactly nothing from any of this and start copying their moves"

The Centre Alliance

Irritatingly, having been in Mayo electorate forever, we finally got rid of the Coalition and got Rebekah Sharkie in, and now I've just been redistributed into Christopher fucking Pyne's electorate

look at it this way: you get to vote against him

I stayed registered at my mother's address for years so I could go out on election day and vote against Philip Ruddock to cancel her out

so far this week we've had:

** 'it's ok to be white', validated by the Liberal party
** sorry i'm sorry i'm trying to remove it
** moving the embassy to Jerusalem, forgetting that any ultra-Orthodox in Wentworth who'd be impressed have already pre-polled
** insulting the former Kiribati president in typical Liberal fashion
** Barnaby Joyce! Getting back on the (Nationals leadership) horse?
** weird smearing emails to Wentworth voters
** i've probably missed something including whatever dumb shit the prime minister has said

AND IT'S ONLY WEDNESDAY

this Frank Spencer-esque prime ministership is way too hectic, seriously
