They had half a populist policy that would pass with bipartisan support and they're already walking it back lmao. Oh you can't fire someone for being gay, but if someone being gay contravenes your religion, well, fire, fire away!

I think religious policy is a losing battle in this country for a number of reasons but mostly that nobody likes religious institutions except members of exactly that religion and everyone else hates them. Divide and conquer, baby.

No one will nuke us, we will get to watch the radioactive clouds roll in and slowly kill us, which is better than we deserve.

Question Time:

Bill Shorten: The Prime Minister has complained that voting for anybody but the Liberals in Wentworth will destabilise his government. But didn�t this Prime Minister destabilise the government in the first place when he and his colleagues deposed Mr Turnbull?
Is government instability the only reason we are having the Wentworth by-election, and will the Prime Minister explain to the people of Wentworth why Malcolm Turnbull is no longer the Prime Minister of Australia?

The New South Wales Young Nationals has expelled one member and suspended two others after revelations the group had been infiltrated by members of Australia�s alt-right movement.

On Sunday the ABC�s Background Briefing revealed that members of the NSW Young Nationals were members of the Lads Society, a far-right fight club whose leaders include the prominent alt-right figure Blair Cottrell.

The Young Nationals � including one member of the party executive � were or had also been members of a Facebook group called the New Guard, whose followers include self-described fascists.

Membership to the party�s youth organisation has also been temporarily suspended.

On Monday the deputy premier and leader of the NSW Nationals, John Barilaro, admitted his party may have been an �easy target� for members of the far-right seeking to influence mainstream politics.

Well that was fast.

The suspensions are against Clifford Jennings, party executive and Lisa Sandford, fundraising officer.

Still doesn't really make sense vs a carrier support group with F35s that can land, refuel and take off from the deck. If any serious air engagement were to occur over here, that's how they'd probably do it.

Especially seeing as they only have about 250 left,

quote:

Rumours are swirling that Barnaby Joyce may call for a National party leadership spill before Christmas.

Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has attempted to unite the National Party's strong divide since Scott Morrison took office on August 24.

But Annika Smethurst writes in her weekly column for The Sunday Telegraph, the 'nice guy' from Wagga Wagga has failed to do so.

The politics editor says the 22 members of the National party room have all agreed there is a chance former leader Mr Joyce may call for a spill and resume his position at the top before the year is up.
