Very quiet in here. ahahahaha

Another lieberal leader loses his seat. LOL

Bet he comes out and says its rigged.

Dutton killed the lieberals for a decade at least. Good one spud.

There are many factors that contributed to the Coalition’s election loss. But one of the most significant, in my view, has quietly slipped under the radar:

Labor’s deliberate strategy of “boring competence.”

Understanding the emotional mechanics of the modern right, Albanese took a "dull and steady" approach to starve the outrage machine of fuel. This weaponised dullness gave conservatives very little material to work with:

- No grand ideological crusades
- No fiery culture war rhetoric
- No personal overreach or media blow-ups
- Minimal exposure to gotcha moments or out-of-context soundbites

With no real scandal or spectacle to exploit, the right was forced to manufacture outrage by inflating minor issues into crises, inventing sinister motives where there were none, and using culture war narratives that made them look increasingly unhinged to swinging voters.

Sharri Markson’s recent editorial was a perfect example of how that desperation looks in action:

We see the same dynamic play out here on the forum daily: breathless vitriol aimed at Albanese over things that either never happened or have been wildly distorted.

Labor clearly learned from past mistakes. Julia Gillard became a lightning rod for the right even while attempting to implement basic reforms. This time around, Albanese deliberately didn’t give them a villain.

And it worked.

Now that shiteforbrains Australians have rewarded the worst PM and worst government ever, they really can't whine anymore about cost of living, cost of electricity, cost of housing etc. They have declared that mass immigration is OK, and there is no need to defend the "best country in the world".

Two positives - Dutton’s gone, and the increase in Labor seats has rendered the Greens and Teals irrelevant.

The polls and MSM were wrong again. Labor has gained seats, and the Coalition was down to 35 seats when I went to bed last night.

I have all I need or want, and a limited time left, so the rest of you go and f..k yourselves. You deserve everything coming to you.

Dear ttbn,

Cheer up old chap. I guess I am not the only one who felt that Albanese was a pretty lacklustre performer as prime minister but that Dutton was even less qualified for the job.

That said, I don’t think “shiteforbrains Australians” are the only ones who voted for Albanese and his government. The ALP’s winning margin speaks for itself.

And, unique feat in Australian political history, the Liberal Party has been decapitated.
