Time to finish Murdoch off with a royal commission into media ownership, a tightening of definition of ‘news’ under broadcast licences, and introduction of truth in political advertising and journalism legislation

Can we just spare a thought, too, for the official end of News Corp as a political force. No one outside an aging political class pays any attention to them.

“So you lost.”
“Really? I didn’t notice. Thanks for telling me, Brian.”
“You started off in front but blew it with poor policy.”
“Thanks, Brian.”
“Nuclear bombed.”
“Very funny, Brian.”
“On to more serious matters, how’s the fallout?”
“Fuck off, Brian.”

I think the Libs lost this election when Price did the whole Make Australia Great Again speech #AusVotes2025
The idea of putting Jacinta Price in charge of government efficiency was just comedic and a reflection on Duttons poor leadership.

Oh lordy, Jacinta Price. What a fiasco. Just a melange of slogans. Literally saying Aboriginal people should be heard after helping to defeat The Voice.

I have now developed a jaw-ache and a desire to hit my head into a wall after listening to Jacinta Einstein Price's voice for the past 5 minutes on ABC

It should be recorded and used as one of those whistle attack repellants

There is no such thing as a safe seat.

Demand politicians earn your vote.

Don't accept mediocrity.

Excuses about "costs" or "need to bring the public with us" are lies.

Governments have power, and budgets are about choices & priorities.

If it's a priority, it is always affordable.

The absolute insanity of this - in terms of the slippery slope it creates. A motion to ban changes to a bill, as well as any debate on that bill. All because he doesn't trust his own party to not make it an issue?

The Libs nukes policy is based around "playing the ref".

They know the costs and timing of nukes are a horror show, so rather than admit defeat they have devoted their efforts to trying to say CSIRO don't know what they're talking about.
