coal is good though

If Labor gets in they'll stop giving spending money in tax rebates to old fuckers who didn't pay the tax in the first place than on schools! This madness must be stopped!

By the way, I made this joke on Twitter and it may be my greatest ever achievement, so despite the disdain it has been greeted with, I'm inflicting it on you all here, too.

Let's face it, he isn't even Paul Lekakis. #auspolhttps://t.co/kEZQ9lvrvc

Timmy Wilson is bravely fighting Labor's mad scheme to not give away free money to old entitled rich fuckers by hosting bingo nights around the nation and colluding with his financial industry mates, great timing.

He has one of the most punchable faces ever seen.

katharine murphy's calling for him to get the fuck out of parliament

Ah. No. Read closely. Every country has human rights problems. Government is the enemy of human rights.

we all have known for ages this guy is cooked but this guy is really cooked

Actually, I’m in the Parliament. The government is the executive and bureaucracy. I’m sceptical of all governments all the time, as I am of any centralised power ...

““These people just can’t help themselves. They are all negative. They don’t know what they’re for, but by God, they know what they’re against.”

Abbott in full on self-own mode.

People smugglers and their customers are the only winners from Labor’s weakening of our border protection policies because ample medical treatment offshore and onshore was already available. Under Labor, it’s get on a boat, get to Nauru, get sick and get to Australia

toneyyyyy

Well that was worth $50 to Zali Stegal

she stands to be a national hero

imagine, tony abbott being defeated by a woman

toney found dunked in the portable dunnies on Manly Beach

flush the little choad

Just when you think there can't be anyone worse, Cory Bernadi pipes up to remind you of his existence.

Similarly I was commenting to the other 'alf that Dutton had been a bit media quiet recently and the potato head turd duly popped up on the ABC this morning to ruin my smashed avo.

Dutton had been a bit media quiet recently

Parliament refused to do any business for weeks last year in case they lost a vote, went home on the 7th of December, and reconvened after nine weeks' holiday (to lose the vote) yesterday

Bunch of sooks

Also, before that he sick leave for an arm injury from wanking over dead refugees

tee hee / argh

uh so morrison is now attempting to become a third-rate trump

think I'll be taking the first boat outta here amirite

"CARAVANS of people coming through MEXICO!!"
"BOATS of people coming through INDONESIA!!"

i know we did it first and we did it worse but ffs

Ah come on, he locked the babies in the same cages with their parents

Clarkey is rolling in his grave. Or laughing in it.

fucking what

this whole thing is a complete farce

THE LONGEST QUESTION TIME IN THE HISTORY OF FEDERATION because scoot and the coalition want to block a royal commission into disability abuse

just fucking kill this government already, it's done

at least the senate remains a bastion of sanity... oh no

A One Nation family feud has exploded into a late-night fight, with blood smeared on an office door and claims and counter-claims of sexual harassment. @cuhlmann #auspol #9News pic.twitter.com/qsHCDfRYPL

sink the fucking building start again

oh so it turns out they'll probably let it pass next week but it's just that they don't wanna get ~owned by blunt strangler~ twice in one week

you'd think if someone got to the level of life where they are now that they'd have *some* self-awareness even if they are deadshit conservatives

nope

none

I'm worry the shy racist fuckstick vote is strong.

worried

Worried too. The medevac bill might turn out to be a bit of a self-own. I was talking to someone who works in parliament on the weekend, and she said this didn't really need legislation, it could have been managed procedurally, it was really just about the symbolism of a govt not in control of legislation. Really hope labor haven't stuffed it up, can't handle another three years of Morrison

Also the CFMEU, demanding everyone supports Adani, can go suck a bag of rancid dicks

Yes, they should shut the fuck up anout that and start talking up the wonderful opportunities we have to mine the things that go into renewable tech that we have boatloads of in Australia (Cobalt, Nickel, Graphite) or get on board the hydrogen train ( not a train obviously, at least not in Australia, yet)

At least we can expect Morrison to wedge his foot firmly in mouth a few times between now and May.

so fucking sick of australians being gullible dickheads

Ah it’s the Queensland CFMMEU. Put Queensland in front of anything and it explains a lot.

At least the Latrobe and Hunter Valley chapters seem to be a bit better a realpolitik.

“It wasn’t free, we just haven’t paid for it yet”

those absolute grubs in the Murdoch press trying to defend a *convicted child molester* for the #webhits and/or their twisted world view

stop the culture war, I want to get off

STOP THE BOATS BECAUSE PROBABLY PAEDOPHILES, also maybe we should be kinder to this literally convicted paedophile
