Obvious solution is to put the economic migrants on the sheep carriers and send them back that way. Tell them to make sure the sheep don't die or they don't get a return voyage. (obviously some sheep will die and they get kicked off wherever, out of sight and mind) It'll be a surefire hit with the voters.

Australians may largely be accepting or ambivalent about the horrifying policies that Dutton enacts, but that doesn't mean they actually like the guy who made the 'hard decisions' One can accept that a lovely thing might happen. They might even talk themselves into thinking that it was 'necessary' but the guy who did won't be popular.

JBP posted:It's also no surprise that people are backing in Turnbull because there's literally no one else I have a feeling that the "literally nobody else" argument is largely because of the profile Turnbull built during his time in the wilderness, and not necessarily because there is literally nobody else in the party competent enough for the job. Once they're turfed out and Turnbull drops his seat you'll see a few more nonames come out of the woodwork to assert themselves and after a while a clear runner will emerge and it'll all be on again. Best of all it won't be anybody who's in the ministry at the moment because they're all basted with the taint of an unpopular and harsh government, both this one and abbott's.

He was never realistically going to take the LNP to the 20?11? election, but those first stumbling steps of opposition are always hard. You need someone to keep a straight face and hopefully keep the cameras on them while the real leadership contenders engage in an all out brawl in the carpark of the Woy Woy Maccas.

Abbott was a sign that things had really changed in the party. Up to then whenever a governing leader was felled they'd put a moderate in: Hewson, Downer, Nelson, all moderates. I can't fault anyone for not picking up on Abbott, he just happened to be very loud and promised the world and they couldn't believe their luck that it worked. But now they have to eat their own, and there's nothing in the barrel. I think Les Affaires is right but mainly because the party itself has no idea how to follow Turnbull or he'd have been toppled by now. It depends on the next lying loudmouth and they'll put anyone up just to stop that narrative like the last time.

Yeah being opposition leader straight after losing government is a thankless task. Shorten's done the best at it in decades, and that's mostly because the big internal shitfight happened before they lost government and everyone was sick of it. The Liberals are in for a rough period the next time they lose government.Les Affaires posted:Best of all it won't be anybody who's in the ministry at the moment because they're all basted with the taint of an unpopular and harsh government, both this one and abbott's.

ewe2 posted:I'll post this again because it's still funny and still relevant: They know how to follow Turnbull, they just don't want to. It requires a policy pragmatism that accepts that certain things they held to be true may have applied once upon a time but don't anymore. That part hurts to admit, it's hard to move away from, and is politically damaging. You're right though. When Turnbull loses (and there's pretty good odds he will), they'll find another moderate to take the fall to the election or shortly after it, they'll sit tight and wait for another charismatic dickhead like Abbott to rear his head, put him in place and hope that the electorate falls for it again. But it won't last forever, because their core demographic is dying rapidly, or at least finding it harder to get to the polling booth. By that point, the LNP will have had their crisis of either dying with their ideology intact or reforming somewhere further to the left (maybe not as far as the groins or labor) and just accepting electoral oblivion for the time being. FWIW part of the core tenet of Liberal party ideology (not nationals though lol) is the primacy of the market and there's merit to that principle, but the shift in thinking that has happened recently is that the primacy is only beneficial in certain cases and is actually damaging some sectors and has been for a while now. Housing is a great example of where a social good has been hosed by a poorly regulated market and has been partly responsible for that political shift. I'm watching Frydenberg's national press club address and the NEM is actually a good thing but again, only if the market functions, and functions towards a reasonably social end.

If Turnbull manages to hold on to the next election I wonder if he will put as much money in this time. If he does, it will make his concession speech even sweeter. If he doesn't, the party will probably see it as him admitting defeat beforehand.

It requires a policy pragmatism that accepts that certain things they held to be true may have applied once upon a time but don't anymore. That part hurts to admit, it's hard to move away from, and is politically damaging. Absolutely true which is why I didn't even canvass it because it's an argument they still have to have, if they ever have the balls to have it. And the problem with opposition is that they've never had a plan for it. The ALP on the other hand still have institutional memory of opposition (I'm talking pre-1950's) and what happens with real splits (like the Evatt period that Menzies capitalized on). We've touched on this subject before about the Liberals: how for them ideology is always a culture war even if they lie to themselves about it; we've always known that climbing the ladder and getting with the corporate in-crowd post-politics is their core concern and literally everything else is window-dressing. It's what Prester Jane would call their Inner Narrative. No one can seriously argue that government is too intrusive in the market and at the same time legislate ways for corporations to avoid tax, people pick up on that eventually. One might say well, they used to believe it at one time, perhaps some of them did, but I can't see how that could be the case when you take a closer look. The primacy of the market is an Outer Narrative, it sells what the big end of town wants, but it's really been more about divide and rule and they've largely succeeded in their mission to make most unions toothless, blunders like WorkChoices taught them they had to be more subtle. The failure was the left thinking it had won a war, not a battle but it's always war in politics. As a nation we follow political trends mostly, not lead them and the overturning of the conditions that created the middle class has been a century in the making across the "first nations", they were that patient and undeterred. quote:FWIW part of the core tenet of Liberal party ideology (not nationals though lol) is the primacy of the market and there's merit to that principle, but the shift in thinking that has happened recently is that the primacy is only beneficial in certain cases and is actually damaging some sectors and has been for a while now. Markets exist because government permits them, in reality. Business wants regulation to protect it and then wants to tear regulation down that prevents it from whatever the latest stupid business fad is. Housing is a topic business doesn't want to deal with, its zoning that engages them, who gets what where and for how much. The government is also in the housing business and protects its investment with the same care as any landlord, perhaps with slightly relaxed rules. The obvious damage is the public sectors of communication and energy. The mismanagement of which has been long-term and immensely damaging to everyone but the lotto-winners of coal stations and internet networks, and will continue to be for generations.
