Struggling to get a grip on today’s political nonsense. Left-leaning, mainly because the Right Wing is so repulsive.

The APC’s board is now studded with current & former Murdoch stooges. No surprise there. We miss La Tingle.

Let’s hope Australia learns its lesson from the nasty & regressive populism of Trump & British PM-in-waiting Farage. The ALP will need a courageous Hawke-Whitlamesque leader by then, though.

Let’s hope incoming President Newsom quickly turns it into a performance space for gender diverse, immigrant artists. And that Trump is still alive to see it (from jail)

Andrew Hastie quits Sussan Ley’s frontbench The West Australian had staked out his own nationalist policy agenda on everything from migration to manufacturing.

God I love the Liberals and their ridiculous dysfunction! 🍿 🍿🍿

Attention all religious types who obstruct people’s access to voluntary assisted dying when they really need it.

Just fuck right off.

Tehan & the rest of the Coalition also struggle to understand the difference between repositioning after an electoral flogging & plunging deeper into the abyss of irrelevance

Dont forget the LNP’s Ted O’Brien here. Quite the nuclear fissicist.

The man is such a buffoon. Someone must have informed him that Anglesea is indeed part of Wannon, not that he’s ever around (thank god). The locals are still reeling after Dutton’s brainfart about building a reactor in their sleepy seaside hamlet.

A nasty, spiteful & personally targeted campaign by Tehan against Dyson. Usual LNP stuff.

The absolute horror of a possible Farrage-led nincompoop populist govt in the UK makes this Australian very happy with our preferential voting system.

Ley sets KPIs for fractious frontbench Under pressure to maintain internal discipline, Ley has fired off letters to shadow ministers demanding policy work to reverse Dutton-era ideas slump.

Can’t imagine what a Liberal politician’s KPIs would look like.
Maybe “hide your racism, pretend to care about your electorate, & don’t get (too) pissed”

I miss the Beetrooter, Barnaby Joyce. Australian public life is much enlivened when they take his muzzle off & unlock the fridge.

This is an eerie photo. It’s like a before-&-after shot following 30 years of immersion in the Vic Liberal Party’s politics of division & hatred. Same person, same entitled beliefs.

NewsCorpse filth reporting, as always. Being advised to bump elbows rather than shake hands hardly brought the state to its knees.
