I think that we have enough to worry about with the current crop of self-serving political arseholes to waste time on their long gone counterparts.

Albanese's fervour to wipe out all traces of conservatism - and the last government which really wasn't conservative - includes the disbanding of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal because it was "stacked with Liberal Party figures.

The Tribunal will be replaced with a new organisation more to Albanese's liking which will, of course, not be "stacked" with his cronies!

No need, I suppose, as his immigration stooge has already said that the Albanese government will be soft on illegal immigration and border protection.

I really don't know what Clive's intentions are at the moment. He's been completely silent since he blew all that money on hise failed election bid.

He went into Federal Parliament when Campbell Newman rejected his bid to build his own railway in Queensland's Galilee Basin and now the whole mine itself is under a new legal threat so maybe he'll try for some sort of comeback.

I think voters could see the blatant attempt to buy his way into Parliament and rejected it. His attendance record while in Parliament was quite abysmal but then again so is Pauline Hanson's and nobody seems to notice. Also like Pauline, some of Clive's elected candidates deserted him once they were elected.

I like to think we've reached an new era in politics and can see comparisons between the excesses of Trumpism in the USA and our own system.

Collectable superhero Clive NFTs maybe?

Armchair Critic asked:

"So what happens when all candidates move to the left or embrace agendas you oppose?"

I don't care if AC donkey votes for the rest of his life where this to happen - there are just some old conservative 'market rules all' ideas that deserve to die.

We are entering a period of profound climate chaos where much higher government intervention will be required in a number of spheres of life. I'm not full Commo - but am Ordo-Liberal.

Basically, I hope the Liberal party and their sad climate denial and racism die out. I hope the new debate is between the Greens and Labor and Teals - who I understand to be conservative economically but unlike the Liberal Deniers actually accept the science of climate change. Australia will be better off when the last vestiges of ScoMo's and Lord Voldemort's legacy just dies.

Max,

You must be smoking your socks if you seriously believe that "the Greens and Labor and Teals - who I understand to be conservative economically"

As for racism the "voice" is hugely racist, and many Labor and greens are deeply antisemitic.

SM,

Like those Coalition and their One Nation allies are bigots and racists, they hate speak against Aboriginals, Muslims anyone in a perceived detested minority, assertive women etc etc. But they always throw out that old chestnut; "I'm not racists, Muslim's are not a race, I can hate them without being racists". Was it not Liberal minister George Brandis who declared he would defend the rights of racists and bigots. It didn't say much for George does it. Didn't Dave Sharma launch attacks on Palestinians based on his race and their race. And The Lovely Pauline, a fine example of an Asian hater, come Muslim hater. And the Liberals are happy to take preference votes from One Nation.
