The Turnbull mob are desperately trying to disassociate themselves from the Queensland loss. They have to be kidding. I'll bet half the LNP voters last Saturday could only vote LNP by holding their nose shut tight.

In this family there were 5 votes that would usually go to the Liberals. No more. None will go to the liberals while the grinning clown is in the lodge, or in fact in the parliament.

They did not go last, where they probably belong. I couldn't bring myself to put the ratbag Greens anywhere but last.

the regressives pick has been a total failure. Even with all the help from the abc people can now see how treacherous Turnbull's deceit and knifing of Abbott was. The only achievements Turnbull can claim are a result of Abbott policy.

When will the politicians learn to listen to
the Australian voters? Listening to divisive
voices that continue to preach division -
(the Left/Right divide) no longer works.
People want stability. And the results
in Queensland clearly showed this.

Mr Turnbull needs to take heed. Otherwise
the outcome will not be good.

Yes Has. My wife and I have done the same with our votes and we are not likely to change soon. I'm going for the Australian Conservatives, with Labour and Liberal at the bottom next election. The Liberal party is doomed or, should I say, wrecked by Turnbull and his Left-liberal mates - Pyne, Bimingham Brand is etc. We are going to have to suffer the horror of Shorten for at least one term while some other group readies itself. That group will not be called the Liberal Party.

Running scared indeed.
Too gutless to even turn up to parliament this week.
You are an utter coward turnbull the banker.
As are the rest of the right wing nut jobs.
Cowards and bullies every stinking one of them.

Sadly, TTBN is right and the Queensland election has confirmed what I had long feared. The electorate has turned its back on the Liberals under Malcolm Turnbull and we will, in all probability, watch a totally undeserving Bill Shorten walk into the Lodge early next year if not sooner. He will win, not because anyone believes Labor offers better Government, but because they looks like the best pick from a sorry choice.

What is more, unless the Liberals or some other group of conservatives can find some real leaders and a bit of fresh talent for the front benches we could be stuck with Labor for at least two terms.

I hope those people who whooped with joy when Kevin Rudd tipped out the Howard government are happy with the political chaos which has followed that unfortunate decision.
.

UK and NZ have some surplus politicians who can nip round to their passport department , get Aus citizenship and be here before New Year. Or those governments could type up policy that works and give print-outs before each sitting in Canberra. A Federal Think-tank of UK NZ and Oz.

Oh! the pain, the terrible, terrible pain of the rabid right. Poor old Hassy is beside himself. So Hassy, your five votes for Hanson proved to be worthless. Your expectation that the lovely Pauline's One Nation Fascist Party would be the tail wagging the LNP dog of a government failed to materialize. You poor sod, I feel sorry for you. But you have a few other similar minded ratbags on the forum to commiserate with. What more do you want?

I'd like to see a coalition formed by the National party, which excludes the Liberals.

Yes Dan, A good idea.

About half the liberals are almost as disgusting as the Greens.

Just what Australia needs a coalition of rednecks and bigots led by the dodgy Aussies, Barnyard, Corny Banana and The Lovely Pauline. A ruling Triumvirate of imbeciles. Fan bloody fantastic!
Hassy, with your knowledge you could act as their political adviser down at the three ring circus.

Effectively, politics boils down to city v the bush.
It seems implausible, representation for rural electorates will continue to have any real meaning.

With high immigration fueling multiculturalism, cities have become unrecognisable cultural nether-worlds.

Cities should become autonomous entities. As did Singapore.
Maybe divided into quarters, for the purpose of political representation. Four representatives against an unbalance of the current multiplicity of representatives.

There is little justification for the over representation which they currently enjoy, at the expense of the vast diversity of the rural electorates.

A good starting point to achieve this, would be a collapsing of the old constitution, and replacing it with a more appropriate and workable model, offering justification for the above innovation.
