Now that the dust has settled a being a Victorian, how do you explain things???
Im not a victorian, Im a nfa
three things...
1) the opposition are abysmal... not just miserable conservatives in disarray abysmal... but totally unappealling abysmal; mathew guy is toxic; last minute incompetence caught out; and they went negative, way way negative... misinterpreted the public nagative; and shacked up with nutters desperation; and offered little alternative from what I could see
2) whilst your assessment of corona and corruption above is spot on ...and it is just plain offensive how dandrews and co. face such issues... the public has moved on, they want corona behindthem, and they just accept 'the left' totally got corona wrong... with dandrews being an extreme of the extreme... in the game of extremely wrong...
3) viccos are weird, they pride themselves in being 'the most progressive state' (even if to outsiders they often appear as the most conservative) in this topsy turvy world of contenporary politics... so i suspect, a large portion of the population would never turn on their dan... no matter how much he gets it wrong, how much debt he racks up, and no matter how many corruption scandals he lies his way out of...
its cultism, in and amongst an age of faux tribalism perpetuated by a corrupt media and polical class
sorry indo, but you're surrounded by a bunch of sado-masochist (but conservative) weirdos...

The latest Resolve Strategic poll for the Age/Herald has Labor on 42% (up three since the poll conducted after the budget in late October), the Coalition on 30% (down two), the Greens on 11% (down two), One Nation on 4% (steady), the United Australia Party on 2% (up one) and independents on 8% (steady).'

Just saying.
I actually think they're doing alright too
(aside from a couple of scandalous mis-steps)
and think they'll probably get 2 terms with the libs so all over the shop
but guysmiley's take on shit is just too much and too delusional to take...
he's like a brain dead footyhead, mindlessly cheering his team... or he's an extremist propaganda-ist, dutifully, repeatedly, point scoring every issue...
and probably on the payroll to boot...
the irony runs thick with this one


As with most things, it depends on your perspective. I feel the same about the blockhead from Bass.

Labor want to subsidise coal companies which are subject to price caps.
I think that tells you a whole lot about Labor.

He's right on the inflation though.

There is a big difference between causation and correlation. Blaming new govt for present inflation situation is incredibly uninformed and ignorant.

I think you can when their whole mantra pre election was cost of living would go down under labor. Didn't need to be a financial genius to work out that was going to be extremely difficult if not impossible.
I'm not saying anyone else could do better but that is what they ran with.
You can't say it's early days either as imo it's only going to get worse.


Leader of the leftovers continues to show one and all how much of a boofhead he really is , the only thing soft about the new made over spud is what’s in his head .

Come on give him a break! Someone needs to stick up for those poor foreign owned fossil fuel companies paying minimal tax and receiving record profits from our natural resources. Of course Australians should pay more and if that means Australian businesses and households go broke, well hey, that's the market working how it should. Interference in the market never works, just compare Australia's tax revenue from its resources compared to Norway or Qatar!

Even the Tories in the UK introduced a 35% company super profit tax.

But but but it's Labor's fault!!! Dam Albo for performing more competently than Scomo.....


An obscure company with no website, no telephone number — and no employees — was used by one of Australia’s richest families to make $550,000 in secretive “donations” to the Liberal Party just weeks out from last year’s federal election. https://theklaxon.com.au/ztem-2/
