I know it sounds weird, but the GIP CE thread is generally the best source of uspol news on SA. Much less hysterical than CSPAM and much less of an ideological pissing match than D&D. It leans about as left as this thread, but it's less snippy.

Any CHUDs get chased out, and it's better modded than most threads (because of the few times people broke opsec in the thread and lowtax had to deal with the fallout). Worst case, it'll give you some interesting twitter people to follow.

I was expecting her to go anyway, I think the last spill cemented her decision. Only question is whether she gets a cushy posting or she already has something lined up in the US, they love her over there. There's a bit of WA argy-bargey going on that we're not privy to (or, more likely, the media isn't interested in telling us about), but its interesting that "members" are already carping that she is hanging around too long, which I interpret to be someone in WA itching to put their darling in the slot. Remember, Bishop is expendable but Porter is precious.

Yeah that’s some pretty good analysis. There’s only so many times you can be the bridesmaid before you just throw in the towel.

“Members” being Newscorp? Or just old white dudes?

I’ll be happy if I never have to read another story about her and how she’s a media darling. She’ll always be Asbestos Julie to me.

WA Liberals speaking "off the record". It's media code for leaks, particularly ones they want to get back to the source to make them nervous, which is a hilarious tactic to use on Bishop, completely wasted effort.

It would have been learning who in the federal WA Libs didn't vote her up in the last spill. And someone made sure that was public too. They're not a subtle bunch, the Libs.

Yeah I heard via twitter I think that she was planning on going but wanted to make sure it was too late for Porter to be parachuted into her seat first.

I don't know if that's the case but I really hope so, or that she's managed to poison his brand enough among the Curtin branches that he won't gain preselection if he tries.

There's a theory that she's going to hold off until preselection has been done so as to stop Christian Porter trying to muscle his way into a much safer seat.

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.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

There was stirrings that Libs had realised Morrison was going to lose them even more seats than Turnbull and they were going to pull another spill to install Bishop to stem the blood loss like Kevin Rudd 2. She might have been keeping options open until they realised this was just moving deck chairs on the titanic and now her dream goes unfulfilled.

He's rich and powerful, exactly the kind of person they'd expect to gently caress because women only care about money and power over their beautiful incel personalities.

Okay, lnp is getting to be so hilariously dysfunctional that even my eternal pessimism is starting to crack slightly.

Also their women problem might be getting to the point where I stop writing it off as just a natural consequence of being standard conservative assholes and start wanting some of the women that have left to whistleblow in greater detail. If the lnp really is a more hostile environment for women than the average right wing political party than I am willing to bet the problem can be traced back to a single particularly lovely influence:



Speaking of which, he recently managed to score some quality headlines from the backbench:

'You are embarrassing': Tony Abbott slapped down over Brexit claim.

Tony Abbott slammed by experts, labelled ‘embarrassing’ and lacking a ‘basic grasp’ of economics

I really think Moon Atari is right about the Abbott factor. Even under Howard, you had Bishop and Vanstone, (probably a few others) and that was like 15-20 years ago now.

All of this seemed to come to a head after Turnbull was spilled, so clearly that was the only thing keeping the women from being openly mocked and bullied by Abbott's troglodytes. Yeah he's not the most overt bully even if he is definitely one; but his behaviour definitely enables people like Abetz, Kelly and the Entire Qld LNP to be the way they are.

True, but as far as commitment to that ideology I don't think they are that much worse than the Tories or Republicans, and they can manage to recruit and maintain some women. I think they probably have a sleazy meathead boy's club culture even in excess of what you would expect based on their beliefs. In particular, Abbott as opposition leader prior to shifting to portray a slightly more gentle PM persona in the few months before his election is what I am drawing on. A leader in that mode behind the scenes for eight or so years would have created a far grosser culture than what is inherent to the right.
