Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.

This is how Dutton wins:

@guysmiley i personally think the Albanese government have been fantastic. They had to fix the Morrison shit show, and also recover an economy decimated by Covid, while implementing new, progressive policies. Huge fan, maybe my fave P.M since Bob Hawke.

Bill Shorten has forever endeared himself to me tonight with his scathing rebuttals of all the attacks on the Labor party. Maybe not PM material, but a solid pillar for the party.

AEC have Sarah Race ahead 50.16 to 49.84.

A way to go yet but it looks like McKenzie could be out.

Anyway: great work by Albo & Co.

Just heard a whisper, now, One Nation didn’t win, Trumpets didn’t win, Duttons Buttons didn’t win, Greens didn’t win.

Well, Labour must have won.
Australians have opted to continue with a party that’s got the wheels in motion and at least won’t be white-anted for the next three years.
Let them govern and let proposed policies be enacted for once.

How’d your Liberal Party go pal ?

Gs-Co you fucking try hard Right Wing piece of Pigeon shit. No, full of shit is more apt you’re just a YouTube infomercial, like Blowin, nothing original, sign of a lowly range of intelligence, never providing any of your own knowledge because you’ve got none, like Liberal, got nothing, nothing at all, nada, zilch etc. AW

Edit. Enjoy a slice of humble pie, better consume it now, it’ll be crusty by the morning. Rightard.

Any thoughts on what Spud might do with his time now he's unemployed?
I picture him as the kinda guy that will park his car at the highest hill nearest to his home and tune his cb radio into the police channel and listen to all the incoming and outgoing calls...kinda feel a part of it. Team player!
Or maybe build model military aeroplanes. I could respect that.

He'll already have his cushy corporate job lined up with one of his lobbyist mates. Just like ScoMo.
