Fraser Anning’s officially out of Katter’s party.

Also Frydenberg was on the radio this morning trotting our the line that the Libs are a “progressive” party that “encourages the individual.”, so they’ll do fine at the next federal election.

My favourite part about the recent Newspoll is the way the Media continually mention the Preferred PM stat, which is absolutely worthless - except it will convince Prime Minister Sharks that he's doing all the right things, and as such he will continue to lawn dart his party into the ground.

Well, that and the fact that it's still based on really poor assumptions about preferences, and so you can safely add about 3 points to the ALP.

The New Daily claims he tore a bicep fixing his fence

But it’s at home where the senior Liberal found danger on the weekend when he was – literally – mending a fence.

It’s understood he stretched out to lift a timber rail and detached his bicep from the bone. He underwent surgery on Saturday.

If it's anything like my stepdad's experience with almost exactly the same injury it was likely refusing to believe he's not a young man any more and trying to do something solo that he should have done with help.

Edit: and then exacerbating the permanent damage by being a macho idiot and holding off going to hospital

The NSW Libs had a bunch of big infrastructure programs that were meant to be finished just before the election but are going to be about a year late.

It was almost a decent idea for a re-election campaign.

So uh when do they actually finish up the counts for the Vic assembly? ABC has it at basically 71% since they closed up on Saturday night.

Mr Dutton had planned to spend the week attacking the Labor Party over failing to announce a position on laws to grant more access to the encrypted messages of terrorists and pedophiles.

Labor leader Bill Shorten signalled this morning that the ALP is likely to support the measures.

“I’ll be guided by the best evidence when it comes to national security,” he said.

“The Government certainly said there is a major rush to resolve these matters, they could be right, I’ll wait until the detail. But what I want to say to Australians who hear the Government talk about national security, and they look at the division and chaos in Parliament – I want to reassure them when it comes to national security, Labor and Liberal are in this together.

Not even putting up a thanks or literally anything on the Sunday is sad. Get in there and loving own it, dickhead. I can't recall a defeated Labor leader (even a Lib, they normally get on TV and spray away at the very least) squibbing out this hard. It's pathetic.

I reckon NSW will go Labor.

hosed if I'm toxxing for it, but all they need is a halfway competent suit without a string of questionable business dealings and they should be able to romp in on the Federal Drag alone.

It's absolutely the Libs' to lose. If Labor can't romp it in with a comfortable majority, the entire party room needs to be deselected.

Gonna be interesting to see what the federal government thinks will hurt more; going in directly from a pounding in Vic or risking a second loss (not a pounding tho) in NSW then trying to rescue the narrative as a demonstration of the worm turning.

One of the wackier NSW Libs has already called on Morrison to hurry up and lose so they have a chance of winning the state election.

Yeah with the stranglehold NSW has on the federal party I don’t think it’s inconceivable that they try rolling the federal government early (which they see as a lost cause anyway) to give them a better chance at the state level. In which case it will get gloriously ugly and bloody internally.
