Ouch, she would win a landslide, and the offer is only open to the greens and labor.

Can the libs get Shane Warne to stand?

ABC are saying it's Scott Morrison who's won.

And the vote split right down the middle. They've done all this for nothing!

Frydenberg deputy! Hahaha. Looks like the lefties are still in control...that will go down well!

Cool, shall we do this again...next week perhaps?

GarryP

Well they have thrown into sharp relief that they are a complete shower who couldn't find their arse with both hands and are totally divided. There is that.

I wonder how long before there is a vote of no confidence, it was very close yesterday ...

Polls will be interesting ...

Thank you Comrade Abbott your subversive undermining work is much appreciated.

ScoMo might placate certain elements of the LNP.
He isn't going to placate Tony's wrecking crew.
Nothing is going to placate the average voter over this mess of the past weeks.

Can't say his performances in front of the press have been particularly impressive.

One of the first groups to pass on their congratulations to one of their own........The Australian Christian Lobby. Not sure how that will sit with some people.

And, I'm going to get him as my MP in 10 days when I move back to the Shire after 4 years away. Seems I have a habit of this. Last place I lived in the UK until 2016 was Bray where Theresa May was my local MP.

For what it's worth Morrison has been the MP for the shire for a long time now. Probably nearing a decade without me checking the facts. You had him before. And the Shire has always been a blue ribbon liberal area. Hardly a case of pot luck for you. Enjoy "Gods Country". Mind the pun.

Beoz

You are a sick man. There is no future for anyone in that silly flag.

Beoz

Crazy right.

At the end of the day, it's the extremes of both sides that are driving the polarisation of this current political debacle in this country.

Decide what camp you lean towards... The Racist extreme right of Queensland or the Workers of Victoria. Unfortunately, at this point, the fence sitters are getting splinters and sore arses.

Beoz

Hold on. The workers and the racists are the same bunch in many parts.

That was Duttons catch cry. Looking after Howard's battlers. That's the guys in your union.

(PS mods. This is the last time I am going to re-edit these double reply posts. Please get it fixed)

Not down here, neither in Sydney, I'd wager, and any worker that believes a right-wing government will help save them from exploitative management is suffering a hallucinogenic delusion, only caveat being stymying the more looney anti-worker policies of the Greens, which is where Labours divisional problems start.

It's time to choose guys, the workers or the racists.

Beoz

Well there aren't really any racists to choose from (not in the 2 main parties anyway) and only 20% of people are union members in this country.

So you have the self serving Libs who to their credit have a variety of MP which oddly works to serve all cross breeds of society. Or you have Labor which core values are to support unions and their members. The me me me of society. The small 20%.

Despite recent events, the choice is still very clear.
