So Parliament sits next week or so right? Meaning there has to be a :spill: in the next 2 weeks.


I would think Dutton would lose WORSE, but maybe he's afraid he's going to lose his seat anyway- might as well do the Downfall rant and take everyone else down with him.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Re the "I think ScoMo's a bastard" txt message scandal(s).

If whoever had done it, or Barnaby had owned up, and admitted it, it would be so much less damaging than it is.

A single press conference saying "Yep, that was me. Scott and I don't get along, and often disagree. But you don't need to be best friends with everyone you work with, and in politics, some robust disagreement/argument is often a good thing. I completely support him and the LNP." would have cleared everything up.

The legs would have been cut out from underneath the story. Sure maybe you would have ScoMo the petty prick gunning for some payback, but seeing as you had publicly admitted it was you, he couldn't do much without looking like a petty vindictive prick.

But as is, this story goes on and on, and (hopefully), continues to hurt the government and Scotty. This from someone with a supposed background in marketing.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Not even Murdoch in his prime could get Dutton elected PM, he is just fundamentally a completely repulsive person, to listen to, to look at, or to interact with on any level whatsoever. The face only a Queenslander raised on a diet of lead fumes/paint and the courier Mail could love.

Even the most brain dead rusted on Lib voters I know still have enough basic human survival instinct left in them to look at Dutton and understand on a gut level that "something definitely ain't right about that guy"

yeah surely. even if it was Dutton i don't really think he's angling for a last-minute leadership swap. he'd be very stupid if he thinks becoming PM a month before the election campaign would be better for his career than just picking up the pieces in opposition. it didn't work for at all for Rudd, leadership changes this close give no time to reset the agenda at all.

even all the media reports at the moment are playing down any signs of an actual spill. there's been reports dutton probably has the numbers for months, but all signs are that they're not interested in actually making a move, and if they wanted to, the best time would have been months ago.

For real though they need like 60 MPs/Senators to want to roll Morrison for it to happen. It seems unlikely.

As Carr says, party rules don't really mean much if you end up in a situation where a majority of them want to do it anyway.

Sure but that doesn’t mean two thirds of them are willing to put their name to it. It’s a pretty high bar.
