With a Melbourne Cup size field of 34 starters, and with none of the major parties standing a candidate, Nigel Farage the leader of the Reform UK Party, managed to win his own seat of Clacton, in a by-election. The by-election was called when Nigel resigned the seat, after he was accused of pocketing 5 million pounds in undeclared donations from a cryptocurrency tycoon located in Thailand. Short of a politician taking undeclared donations from the Mafia, that might be seen as, not a nice thing to do by some, but that's another story.

The real story from this by-election was the fantastic result for the second placed candidate, Count Binface, the count is easily recognised, as the intergalactic space warrior who wears a garbage bin on his head in public, somewhat fitting for a politician, don't you agree? The Count managed to score 27% of the popular vote. I attribute his success to his solid political manifesto. Count Binface had the policies that cut through with voters, including a cap of 99p on all 99 Flake Ice Creams, excellent innovative progressive policy.

As the count didn't actually win the election, he is now at a loose end. Australia needs a Count Binface! I suggest as both Albo and Angus have been ineffective at countering the popularity of the Lovely Pauline, that they don garbage bins upon their heads, re-brand themselves as intergalactic space warriors, and go on the attack! It can't be any worse than they are doing now.

Leader of the Recyclons from the planet Sigma IX.
Didn't Albo win with 33% of the vote?
Count Binface got 27% a decent effort.

Hi AC,

Count Bin Face is up there with the Lovely Pauline. On meeting the Japanese PM, If the Lovely Pauline was to meet her, she doesn't know her name, all she could say; "What ya do'n here Fried Rice, get the F out of here, we're be'n flooded with Asians and YOU Muslims!"

I think we already have our own Count Bin Face, minus the bin, its The Mad Katter, just don't call him a Lebo! He'll punch ya lights out! Then we have Barnyard Joy, who likes to get down and dirty on public footpaths, and abuse his mobile phone. Now that's a vote winner, my kinda polys.

Why are we spending half a billion on gun buybacks?
Don't they realise any fool can just go bunnings and buy a nailgun with a rechargeable battery..

Minns: 'But we promised the Jews'

50 times the amount we spend on a normal persons safety.
That's how much we had to spend protecting these genocide supporters.

If it didn't close the Strait of Hormuz
If it didn't cost us a 50% price increase on fuel at the pump.
If the follow on affects aren't costing us at the supermarket.
If their stupid M/E wars against Muslims didn't result in blowback.
If they hadn't been attacking countries for 30+ years in the region.
If they didn't have 50 times the amount for others spent on them for 'security'
If the stupid nation they're loyal to wasn't built on terrorism from Day 1.

Why do we have to pay for it?

I pay at the fuel pump, I pay during my weekly shop.
How else would you all like me to pay for these people?

Or maybe they'd just prefer 'help yourself access' to my wallet and accounts?

What a crock of shite.
No-one even asked the Bondi f-wit why he did it.
- And we're spending billions on security and gun buybacks to protect people who seem to want to start a holy war with Islam.

Hi AC,

"Why are we spending half a billion on gun buybacks?" Now that is something our Count Bin Face could take on board. Cheaper guns for ALL! BIN THE GUNS POLICY. Do you know they don't sell guns at the school Tuck Shop anymore, not even in high schools. How is Little Johnny going to express himself in the appropriate manner when he fails Science, if he hasn't got an AK47 to let the teacher and fellow students know what he thinks of failure, as he yells: "DON'T YOU OPPRESS ME!" and lets them have it. Its all about free expression these days, that's what's important! Agree?

The differing views on guns explained...

The right thinks they are for hunting and self-defence because that's what they use them for.

The left thinks they are used to kill people because that's what they use them for.
