Again Paul, you make a fool of yourself because you have no idea what others are saying. If you're going to make these claims, perhaps finding just one sentence from me that supports your stupid assertions might help.

The fact is that I never uttered a word of support for Palmer or ToP. You just assumed I supported them because you fell hook, line and sinker for their claims that they were the MAGA of Australia. Only fools fell for that. I'd be trying to hide that if I were you.

And while I have been critical of the government, you won't find a single sentence from me saying the Libs would do better. Here's what I said back in January 24..."Alas Albanese is worse than I thought and Chalmers is a massive disappointment. The country is not in good hands although there is little to show that things are better on the other side of the parliament.

Most governments in Australia are given a second chance and rarely get kicked out after three years (Whitlam was the exception and to this point, bad as it is, the government isn't on the same scale as Whitlam). So I expect they'll win the next election, especially as they've now shown that they are prepared to sacrifice the nation's long term future to their short-term political advantage."

Note that I'm saying the that Labor is bad and the Libs no better. I've been consistent on that for three years.

Whatismore, I've written here many times that I haven't voted Liberal since they overthrew Abbott on the basis that I want them to return to true Liberalism and that will only happen if they suffer electoral humiliation.

Of coarse all of those things have been said more than a week ago so, given your demonstrably bad memory, its all gone down the memory-hole. You really are a dill.

Trumpster,

The dills are all you sycophantic Trump lovers who believe the Dangerous Doctor Donald is god, and he is going to deliver manna from heaven for you, and the rest of his legions of fruitcakes. You are a right wing reactionary, why would you support Labor, when they are somewhat left wing and progressive. I don't know your electorate, but given you political opinions here, I'm sure you were offered a smorgasbord of far right loonies to choose from, I was. Maybe that so called "independent" you claimed you voted for was actually from the Trumpet Of Failure Party, has that person got a name? I voted One Wen Li (Green) and two Kara Cook (Labor) in the seat of Bonner. Not giving anything away are you.

With political campaigns becoming more and more "presidential" the image that party leaders present on TV has some influence on voters. Not that Albo is any kind of movie star, but for Dud, the Uncle Fester look was not all that appealing.

Good news already, Labor has reduced the price of fuel by 25c litre, and they didn't even promises it at the election. As for Pete, he's completed a Labor free trade course at Tech, and is now a fully qualified petrol jockey down at his local BP servo 5 nights a week. You may have caught Pete doing some pract during the election campaign, filling up cars, trucks, lawn mowers etc. As the saying goes; "One door has closed for Pete, and another door is firmly bolted." I Wish Pete well, maybe he'll snag a plum government job, if Rudd was good enough to be Ambassador to Washington, surely Albo could make Pete Australia's next Ambassador to Iceland.

Silly though Australian voters are, they got rid of the lunatic, Adam Bandt.

But, now, as the wreckers love to say, the old Australia is gone.

There is no more 'us' or 'we'. There is just a nothing country, poisoned with multiculturalism, identity politics and warring tribes.

Next step - partition, to keep us apart.

Some more good news on the election front.

The truly noxious Green Chandler-Mather (why do all these prissy holier-than-thou types have double-barrel names?) has been given the boot.

And ABC alumni Zoe Daniels, who did a silly and now memory-holed dance when she went off prematurely on Saturday night, has been tealed off.

And best of all, the snide and inane Adam Bandt is now almost certain to get the flick.

There's hope for the nation yet.

I have no sympathy for the Greens who got the boot in the lower house, that's politics, and the quirks of the preferential voting system. What is pleasing is the Greens will hold the balance of power in the Senate, which sidelines the likes of The Lovely Pauline, Ralf Babble and Malcolm Roberts, one or two others. With that I hope both David Pocock and Jacqui Lambie (If returned) continue their advocacy for battling Australian's, as they have done so well in the previous parliament.
