Clueless. Do you have to get someone to help you login here each day so you can spout your nonsense?
Actually, as the LNP expected to lose and only won by one seat, it's pretty much been acknowledged by experts that this is the case.

Add in Cliver Palmer and "DEATH TAXES". and you tip several seats.

People are generally selfish (not overtly, but it kicks in at the ballot box). This is well known

So let me see if I understand. It is well known that people are selfish. The ALP know this. Yet they still can't win the election?

This makes absolutely no sense. You're a proud Coalition voter, despite them apparently being a " pack of misogynist, rapist protectors and trolls" but you're angry that the ALP didn't beat the party you gleefully voted for? Day drinking?

:lol: I love how you keep making the claim that I somehow vote for the Coalition. You do this to try and get me to defend or deny this and by doing so somehow validate your claim. The more remarkable thing is that you are so rusted on and entrenched supporting a political party that you think everyone is the same as you and has an entrenched position or side.

The government are a pack of cvnts. I don't vote for them.
The opposition are a pack of cvnts. I don't vote for them.

This view of mine will not change. It is entirely transferable.

I find those people that are so rusted on in their views that they will only ever vote for their party regardless of their sins to be laughable too. And to sit there and sneer at the 'other side' for their sins whilst justifying or believing their team is beyond reproach is hilarious.

Politicians are cvnts. I truly dislike them. I dislike the fact that my taxes, rates etc pay their wages. The more I dwell on this the more I realise I am somewhat of a civil libertarian.

Fvck the government!

I suspect Clogs might be comfortable with a second coming of the Australian Democrats: i.e. a centrist party with a mild libertarian streak, a generally anti-war stance and a mission of ‘keeping the bastards honest’, the bastards being the coalition and the ALP.

There is nothing more pathetic than posters who post regularly on a politics thread but who don't have the guts to even declare who they voted for. That's just cowardice. Actions have consequences and votes have consequences. How you vote says a lot about your ideals as a person. We all know you're very conservative, whether you vote for the Coalition or one of the minor lunatic parties is irrelevant to me. All their preferences end up flowing to the Coalition anyway.

According to Clogs it's actually the ALP's fault that the Coalition are so bad, because Labor wasn't good enough to win the last Federal election.

:lol:

I have declared who I vote for. The cock and balls party. I have become an expert at drawing superbly detailed ones of every ballot paper. I find it so funny, so very funny that even knowing this you are desperate to try and label me. Paragraph after frothing paragraph.

I vote cock and balls. It says I completely distrust the cvnts on either side of the political spectrum. I would far rather each sides gets a turn at ruling. That way we would have some semblance of balance. The yin and yang effect. What we have now is one group of inept cvnts (lets call them your team) utterly incapable of beating another group of inept cvnts at a general election. And you are the cheer leader for that pack of losers. Morally posturing that they are somehow superior to the other pack, but they are to all intents and purposes utterly inept. And you can't see it nor will you call them on it because you are so firmly entrenched in your views. Blind. Just dumb rah rah cheerleader blind.

I will make one other point just quickly. That you have chosen to politicise these rape scandals is pretty appalling. It does take away from the heinous acts themselves and turns it into a political play. The victims are the losers as a result.

Erm, no we don't. That I have the right to protest and spoil my paper is the democratic process at work. More people should exercise that right as it would send the right message that we are not happy with the current bunch of cvnts. Around 5% of votes are now informal votes. This is a significant %.

Pfft. Clogs voted, but saying he didn’t let’s him escape accountability when he can’t explain it.

Remember all those Trump voters that only voted for him because they couldn’t stomach Hillary or were angry that Bernie wasn’t on the ballot. They just said that - most lined up again to vote for him but this time it was Biden was in the tank for China and the share market was high.

I don’t think most people even know why they vote a certain way. Principles and ideology don’t drive their decisions- they get that from the team they cheer for. The only thing that makes most conservative switch from the LNP to the ALP would be if the Libs stopped with the cultural war shit.

Wow, I never knew knew the majority of voting Australians are wealthy business owners? Is that why they didn't vote for Bill? Too wealthy?
Dumb post. The "majority" voted for the Coalition because they wanted to preserve negative gearing and franking credits, even though most Australians don't access these entitlements. It's the Australian dream to one day be in a position to exploit the system.
And that post right there highlights the problem. Labor's post election debrief according to AC "yeh we lost cos franking credits & Australians are dreamers".

Clogs seriously do you even know about elections and issues that can have dire effects on results.

Even my FIL, has always voted for Labor and Billy Bragg on music polls, stated Labor were rooted after the franking credits policy was announced. Labor haven't learnt, bring in the unpopular policies post election and simple drop slogans for bogans during the campaign. Yes basically lie to the voters, just like the coalition has been doing for decades.

Tbh I had much more respect for Clogs when I thought he was a proud Coalition voter. He's a donkey voter. A serial whinger who complains about absolutely everything but will never be part of any solution because he has completely disengaged from the political process. He is happy to troll ALP and Green politicians on the internet, but too lazy and disengaged to bother voting for alternative politicians.

When Scott Morrison's surprised everyone by winning the 2019 Federal election, he boasted that it was a 'miracle'. He was the Liberal Party's Golden Boy who had the Midas touch. Well that shine has well and truly worn off.

As a flick through various news sites today he is receiving widespread criticism and condemnation by journalists for his handling of a series of scandals. Christian Porter has been accused of rape, Linda Reynolds called an alleged rape victim a "lying cow", staffers masturbating on female colleague's desks, MP's having orgies in the parliament prayer room with escorts and now the Andrew Laming trolling incident. Laming's trolling has really resonated because of the sheer audacity of his behaviour. He gleefully trolled female constituents for years without even trying to hide his identity.

As a flick through various news sites today he is receiving widespread criticism and condemnation by journalists for his handling of a series of scandals. Christian Porter has been accused of rape, Linda Reynolds called an alleged rape victim a "lying cow", staffers masturbating on female colleague's desks, MP's having orgies in the parliament prayer room with escorts and now the Andrew Laming trolling incident. Laming's trolling has really resonated because of the sheer audacity of his behaviour. He gleefully trolled female constituents for years without even trying to hide his identity.
When Turnbull tried to bring some order to this rabble he got rolled. I doubt much goes on in Morrison's head but I do suspect he's scared of the same fate. I'd concede I might be giving him a bit much credit here though, he is spectacularly incompetent.

Even News Ltd journalists are attacking Scott Morrison. He's been exposed as an absolute dud. Of Course anyone who has been following Australian politics for any period of time always knew that he was a terrible human being who has never liked being held to account. His famously coined the term "on water matters" so he could refuse to answer any questions he didn't like as Immigration Minister, and he was allowed to get away with it.

This Laming thing is absolutely shocking. If he was a member of the public he'd be arrested and probably fired. Bullied a woman to the brink of suicide and boasted about it online! Because he's an MP in a government with a 1 seat majority he keeps his job and he's encouraged to run again. Politics here seems to be following the UK and US in that politicians are no longer held to account as keeping power is more important. Even 10 years ago this didn't seem to be the case.

We've had a few duds. Garfield Barwick. :blush: John Singleton (my year) established something called the "Workers Party" in the mid-seventies, which was a right wing abomination.

On the other hand, H.V. Evatt, Neville Wran, Michael Kirby. Hall Greenland!!!!!!

To be fair to Singo, he has joined together with Michael Kirby to establish a foundation to support Fort Street pupils who show outstanding creativity/innovation.
