Indy,

That outranks a "degree" in biblical BS. Your typical right wing notion that the population should be dumbed down to the level of knuckle draggers is typical far right belief, you hate the educated, as they see through you to easily.

Hi Paul,

Our democracy is alive and well.
These are very exciting times in our country.
Australia has voted - and what a vote!
The rusted-on voters are a minority. People
have made it clear in this election that
politicians who ignore the voices of their
communities, who don't listen to their voters
do so at their peril. Politics in this country
will never be the same again. People's voices do
matter. And our politics has changed. Exciting times
ahead! We now have a consultative team - not a bulldozing
team. It's about time.

There is a load of rubbish spoken about the character of most
politicians. They are attacked by the supporters of other parties
as being dreadful people. I never thought it all that bad that Albo
didn't know the unemployment rate. A bit surprising for a Labour
pollie but not all that important, especially because it is so low.
Similary with ScoMo, the criticism of him borders on ridiculous.
He was the boss and running a team of pollies would be like herding cats.
There are very few pollies that are not at least trying to do their best.
There are some such as Brandt the Greenie, who likewise thinks he
is saving the planet, but just ignores the contra evidence, or does
not understand it. He has become convinced, but if the next cold
cycle started tomorrow he would find it to be a global warming
artifact and caused by co2. I mean, what else could it be ?

As citizens, we need to be more tolerant of those we employ to do
a job that relies on guessing what will happen tomorrow or the day after.

Voters have clearly sent a message. They are sick
of the government's finger-pointing, and personal attacks,
of division, and most of all of inaction on climate,
on integrity, on equality, on the Indigenous Voice to
Parliament, and so many other vital
issues that the current government has ignored or blamed the
Opposition for.

As Simon Birmingham has said - voters have sent a loud and clear
message that things need to change both in the country but also
in the way we govern. Birmingham has made it clear that the
Liberal Party need to accept the challenge of what has caused
the demise of a once great party and look at what needs to be
done to fix things.

Rusted-on supporters should not just continue to blame the
Opposition. That won't change anything. Also it all depends on
who they elect as their new leader - and whether he's prepared
to listen and want changes to be made

If you keep on doing the same old thing and yet expect
different results - you're nuts!

SR,

Once again you have cocked it up in several ways.

Firstly, as I started this thread before the election and haven't commented since your accusation of sulking on your part is a blunder.

Secondly, Morrison's Bachelors's and Honours degrees were in economics and further than that he reached the position of managing director before moving permanently into politics. By comparison, Albozo with a basic economics degree started work for the Labor party as a gopher/research officer and since has never held any position with any requirement for economics or management skills.

Finally, any Minister with even the faintest interest in economics would have the unemployment and cash rate at the forefront of his mind. That Albozo clearly had no idea shows that he is both clueless and could care less. This is not a frivolous cock up. That this was only one of many cock ups shows that Albozo is an intellectual lightweight.
