I'm not voting Labor, or Green or whatever, so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Was just pointing out that what you called out as bullshit were actual facts, and that he's a cunt.Quote:

You just don't understand! "My mate says..." has far more weight than scientific concensus.Quote:

Looks like Dutton has lost his seat because he's an out-of-touch, racist, neoliberal cunt. Gutted.
Poor ol' Mr Dutton. Are you gonna be ok Kingwally? Sending thoughts and prayers.
I guess the reef will keep approving though so silver linings...
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bloke.Quote:

Best news is that fuckwit Dutton getting booted from parliament. He will no longer be heard. Big win for Australia.
‘My mate says’ passes the pub test better than this ‘scientific consensus’ malarkey don’t you know?!Quote:

Yeah, apparently Dutton’s (former) electorate has been marginal for a long time, which does raise the question of why the party would risk elevating him to leader. Had the Libs run a better campaign (and maybe had there not been the Trump factor wild card) there was a decent chance they could have beat Labour, but just imagine they won but Dutton lost his seat. What a shitshow.
The LNP have been totally annihilated. Greens have lost seats to Labor too. Increased majority which no one saw coming. Far right bullshit is dead and buried. LNP can only come back if they move closer to the centre. Suck shit Dutton. Seems people didn’t forget his cruelty and corruption.
"Fuck Trumpism" says Australia. And thank fuck for that.
The Libs are shit at strategy and knowing how things actually work. Always have been. Howard was cunning but a dishonest and divisive cunt and it cost him in the end.Quote:

Yes, defo was a mistake trying to emulate Trump. I think the circus he's been running since taking power would've put off even the far right. Would've had them thinking "maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all?". And along comes Dutton hitching his wagon onto his star.Quote:

I guess the other possible resolution would be for the party to immediately choose a different leader and voila, that's your next PM. In that case it'll be like ordering a cheese burger and getting a fried rice instead, lolll....
Will be interested to see how One Nation do. They were predicted to gain seats from coalition preferences but haven't seen evidence of that yet.Quote:
