The NSW property developer who bankrolled Moira Deeming’s defamation case against John Pesutto offered the former Liberal leader a $1 million lifeline on the condition he did not attempt to win back the party leadership within the next three years.

These VIC Liberals are just corrupt.

If you don’t pay taxes and don’t vote you don’t get to tell others how to vote. Fuck off religion
Reckon I got flyered by Exclusive Brethren at pre-polling — he said "vote liberal for prosperity" I said — "but they're not great on climate action" — he smiled and said "we did our best"

Which is something ONLY someone who has never participated in politics would say.
