Sometime tonight, or as soon afterwards as Turnbull reaches the GG to DD.

Why does everyone hate Turnbull? I thought he was the cunning, suave bastard who would gently caress everyone over with a smile.

Because he's contractually obliged to be Tony Abbott, and even the Australian public isn't that dumb.

He had his chance and he hosed it up. He should have told the right wing of the party to piss off and did what he could to contain their attempts to undermine him, at least then he would have had the possibility of success.

[EDIT: I think he'll still win the election anyway, but he could have been a 'great reformer' or whatever]

He's also nowhere near as suave and intelligent as his tone of voice would suggest, Turnbull has been stumbling around for months now and can barely get through an interview without throwing out meaningless buzzwords like the Tory he is.

I have a great deal more respect for Abbott because at least his tiny clown brain believed all the stupid poo poo he was shilling.

Turnball lost the Left when he was just a new face for the same policies. He never had the Right, and he learned that the Right never change no matter how much you pander to them. He lost the Centre when he showed weakness by flip flopping about.
That said, Labor has none of those three either so who knows.

Edit: To clarify. The Right have no one else to vote for, but they still hate him. The Left could have loved him, but now it'll go ALP on first or second preferences. The Centre will be determined by whether the vote counters go with bigger or smaller dicks as the order of preference.

this keeps coming up as a joke but if we could get a coherent system where you could register your vote by drawing dicks on the paper I'm sure we'd see a huge drop off in informal votes and the almost complete obliteration of the youth voter enrollment problem

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: Australian biosecurity

Australia has very strict biosecurity laws to protect the health of our people, animals and plants. Everyone entering the country must truthfully declare if they are carrying any items listed on the Incoming Passenger Card.

Ms Amber Heard appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court in Queensland on 18 April 2016 to answer charges alleging the illegal importation of her two dogs into Australia in April 2015.

Ms Heard pleaded guilty to one count of producing a false document (her Incoming Passenger Card).

Ms Heard also offered to publicly state her contrition with the support of her husband – this video is that statement.

Turnbull failed to take the lesson from Labor that when you pander to the right they don't support you, they just go harder right and hate you anyway.

I want to call Barnaby Joyce "Bananababy" but he is nothing like a banana. He is like a baby in his going red faced and temper tantrumming when he doesn't get his way, and also being an illiterate idiot.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

So give me a number here. Is it ten? One hundred? Because even though we can collect and give all your metadata to the RSPCA, if they ask, nobody seems to be exactly giving poo poo one here.

Yeah. No idea, I suspect a lot depends on if the media decides to run with it or not. I doubt with the election occupying reporters that we'll see anything but we can hope.

I've got to admit, I've got no clue who is going to win an election held in the next few months. My gut feeling is it's going to come down to whichever side does the least unbelievably political boneheaded moves in the campaign, so it's anyone's game.
