This country used to believe in something. We used to get suppositories of wisdom for free on Medicare, for example.

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Sussan Ley has made her first important decision as leader, adding an extra ‘s’ to her title due to some batshit crazy numerology theory that promises to increase vibrations within the universe or some shit.

If they are going to call community independent candidates 'C200 backed' then surely they also have to call LNP candidates and members 'Gina Rinehart backed'.

Surely - that's only fair?

Also - community independents are mostly community backed #auspol

Also - our preferential voting system is a beautiful thing to be defended to the death.

Forget any “optional preference” etc or worse.

A system where everyone’s vote matters is glorious
A very good thing. Those who can’t cope with the ALP and LNP not getting all the first preference votes need to learn to count past 2.
Good news for Australian politics and society.

"The major parties’ primary vote has, once again, fallen.

In fact, there is a strong chance that the combined independent and minor party vote will beat one of the major parties for the first time in seven decades."

Can we please stop calling LNP conservative?

They are not conservative - far from it.

They are Gina's LNP - with everything that means from supporting Trump to supporting fossil fuels and will continue to double down on culture wars - as it's all they know how do to #auspol
