LIbs love super....funny - from memory wasn't that again, a labor initiative?

Just five more days until the ‘silent majority’ we have heard so much about get to have their day. 

Can't wait for this shit show to be over and start the new one.........

The difference being that when left-leaning people do/ say moronic things, the treatment is notably different from some sources. And this is perfectly understandable, unless it's from a news source that claims to be "fair and balanced unlike news sourced those morons on the other side believe". Likewise, if a channel passes itself off as satire, they can put out thinly-veiled opinion pieces and then when people call them out on the logical fallacies, omissions or erroneous facts, they can conveniently retreat up in the Motte and go "it's just satire- why are you so upset?"

Honestly, I can't see it being any worse. A rotation every once in a while is needed to keep them on their toes.

100%. Every government needs to be booted every now and again. Something the clowns in my electorate can't seem to grasp. 50+ years of being a Nats seat. Just like almost every other Nats seat in NSW.

TBH, I am not really clear on what your gripe is in response. Are you disgruntled with Betoota for cutting too close to the bone?

On the flip side, the doyen of the alt right and conservatives, Trump, his MO was 'I was just joking' with pretty much most outlandish statements. 

yes I tend to agree.....
Just as we know in our game, a 10yr reign needs a re set, not a great example but I'm sure you know what I mean.
I was a young bloke but that Don Chipp from the ol Democrats said it right, keep the bastards honest..........
Trouble is opposition is at the bottom of the barrel as well nowadays.
Just a shame were gonna pay for this but it does need to happen.
Can't see them last long but as in past decades we go through recycling, long before it became industry :)

This is the problem. The system is geared to a race to the bottom because its easier that way. It needs to be fixed so the parties are pushing each other with better policies. 

Where’s the ‘silent Majority’? 

Not so silent as appear to have given the LNP a kicking though the independents  and Greens have also given the ALP a touch up.

LNP have bagels on for years that there’s a silent majority that are secretly right and love these culture wars. 

Sells ads I meant. 

Suck a big steaming shit Scomo 💩💩💩🖕

South Park remains the yardstick when it comes to cutting close to the bone- regardless of who the target is. I can't think of a group they haven't roasted, and that's one of the reasons the show is so popular.

My "gripe" (if you can call it that) is more with satire that's happy to lay into certain subjects with no holding back, but then conveniently tip-toes around or deflects when it comes to certain other subjects worthy of attention. Then again, I'm an all or nothing kinda guy.

Great to see so much support for the Independents nationwide. Long overdue.

Congrats Labor. They didn’t so much “win” it as it was natural turnover and time for a change. LNP typicallly ran a shit, tepid campaign and failed to generate any energy other than incessant droning about economic management and vacuous slogans like “wont be easy under albane$e”. It was almost like Libs were tired of being in government and knew their time was up.

The reality is nothing will change much under Labor, Albo will make a few tokenistic changes like dropping the net zero target to 2045, building a few homes, etc, but the cost of living will skyrocket and debts and deficits spiral out of control. Ultimately, I think the best advertisement for conservative politics is seeing progressive policies fail and flounder when tried in the real world, and after nine long years I think people just forget how damaging progressive politics is, and need a kick in the butt to be reminded. The best part will be seeing the armada of boats arrive and the ensuing clusterfuck around border management. 

Labor's win is one of hope and opportunity but like in Germany with the new coalition of red and green, it's going to set up for a lot of disappointment and bewilderment if they stray from their plans and promises.

It was genius move bringing in the transgender chatterbox deves 😂😂😂

Libs are cooked for the next few election cycles. 

Morning comrades.

Good to see the Greens increase their numbers in the reps and the senate. Also fantastic to see so many impressive Teal women get in.

Scomo claiming credit for our pandemic response in his speech last night shows how deluded he is.

Also must be getting close to 50 / 50 for women in parliament.

Morning comrade. 

Morning comrades. I'm also pleased to see KK lose in Fowler. Shows how politically engaged people (in the cities at the very least) are. Parties can't take their constituents for granted and that is a wonderful outcome for democracy.

Liberals have been decimated.  They did it all to themselves too.  

Suck shit to the dodgy fat fuck Clive Palmer for wasting more of his money whether he has billions of it or not.

Lots of cross benchers, this is going to be a very, very different government to the last. 

Some good commentary on this left v right crap/

LNP buy into that moronic stance but things like:

Climate Change
Women's rights
Being against corruption

Are not political issues - they re standard human decency things that they politicised. And paid the price because many people despite their politics care about them.

At one point I saw that every single seat LIbs lost was to a female candidate - says it all. The best bit is if the Libs go further right because they are being told to by Sky News they will not get in again. It's beautiful.

Now, it's time for progressive policies and vision, and I am excited about so many varying voices in parliament, and most seem unified in a better future. Not negativity.

yep. How good is the palmer thing. Utterly pointless in the end. 

I don't get it

Labour are promising all these things for women (such as targeting unequal pay and domestic violence) but then when it comes to sport being a woman is a choice. How can you address social issues regarding women if you can't even acknowledge what a woman is?

Effectively everything they are budgeting for is based on people's own categorisation and sense of self, and they aren't really addressing any social problems. I wonder if we can also declare ourselves as indigenous Australians to access another bucket of money we aren't entitled to either

I like the quote above about 50/50 women in parliament. That could have been accomplished a long time ago by simply asking half of politicians to change their preferred pronouns

Women's rights and pro-gender are opposites. Anybody pushing both is just pandering to popular opinion

Fowler is interesting. Shows how the ALP can't take their base for granted. Teal Independents showed the same for the LNP. All upside as pollies need to work harder for the electorate now.

LOL. The fact that anti-corruption is painted as a partisan issue is crazy. Hope the Federal ICAC gets set up asap.

I just hope the stupid ads will stop.
