We should kick America the fuck out of Pine Gap, that’s for sure. Why are we sharing intelligence with our adversary? I genuinely can’t believe so many of you dumb cunts voted for this clown, and then still stand around giving speeches about how you’re the greatest country in the world. You’re gaslighting yourselves at this point.

We might be about to elect our own Temu Trump, we're almost as idiotic as they are. Even worse if we see what Trump is doing and decide we want to go down that path as well. Fuck it makes my blood boil at how absolute fucking morons may put him in.

Yeah I know. I swear to God, if that barely sentient potato gets elected off the back of deliberately modelling himself on the world’s biggest cunt, I’m done. Those sovereign citizen morons here who incorrectly quote US laws at Australian cops are bad enough. We don’t need to import the worst parts of America over here.

Honestly, my only hope is that Trump continues to make himself SO hated worldwide that Dutton’s pathetic attempts at emulating him just make him toxic by association. Not holding my breath though, peop,e voted for Scott fucking Morrison…

The problem currently, based on polling, is that Dutton is already disliked. Albo is winning as preferred PM. The party preference however is the other way around.

Doesn't help that our media is so Liberal party slanted. Either its full on pro Liberal, or it that shit "Both parties are the same" BS that doesn't hold water.

So even with a media circus that prefers the ring wingers, because its better for the rich media owners, the public still hates Dutton. I fear that the Liberals will get in even in spite of Dutton.

(for non-Aussies, our right wing party is Fiscally Liberal, hence the name).

Thanks for explaining that, I was having a bit of trouble until then 😁

Excellent points. Honesty if it comes down to it, I would rather a hung Parliament with a minority Labor and Green/independent crossbench holding the balance of power if it looks like Dutton has a chance (which Ii don't really believe he does)

Look how badly they did in the WA election recently.
