Colmery. The best truth is the almighty irrefutable truth and we have space age unbeatable lie detection. And it can be deployed covertly so we can test evidence and polly waffling Pollies promises. And the very reason we don't do that, in politics or our courts, where all that really matters is winning, above all else!

The Teals got in by promising what the others have promised over and over, but never ever delivered. Teal representation, much to the chagrin of our version of the proud boys.

Who to a virtual generic man have gone into orbit. As the lust for power was again denied to these dropkicks via their ultra-right-wing conservative candidates.

Just a thought....
Before we cast too many aspersions of those we elect to parliament, we need to remember there are practical limits to everything.
We do no live in a magical world where any wish can become a reality.
Promises made must be practical, not just desirable.
It is up to us to sift the grain from the chaff.
No good saying afterwards that such and such a party didn't do so and so as promised.
We should be able to assess a promise made, and be satisfied that that promise has a reasonable chance of becoming reality.
Should we choose not to do this evaluation, we cannot afterwards complain that we are being let down.
It seems to me that the ball is steadfastly in the voter's court in these matters.
As always, it takes two to tango.
And we, the voters, are a big part of the dance.

I have long maintained that a good politician focusses on what the constituents need, not what they want !
