 Too many bees in greens homeland. The problems just keep coming for lying bee hating greens. Greens said all the bees died. Sad. We'll see who brings in more honey.

I think you are grossly inflating the hate against Howard. Like I am right there with you but I’ve even heard people whose first election was 2013 (they’d be in their mid 20s now) saying “look if we had someone like Howard in” “why are liberals so extreme these days” “it’s just he was in for so long so of course people get sick of it” It’s horrifying. Feels like a sped up version of Reagan worship.

gay picnic defence posted:First time in a while watching free to air tv and holy gently caress the Clive Palmer ads. Seems like there's two or three each ad break It's like that on the radio too. It's questionable he even has members running in most places. Despite the huge ad spend he seems kind of tired and confused compared to his last run at it, where he didn't fall asleep until after safely passing the few pieces of legislation that personally concerned him, and his campaign (though obnoxious) was somewhat cleverly targeted. Maybe it's just that in comparing himself to Trump he highlights how low energy he is in comparison. My main theory though is that his imitation extends to the rapidly declining brain function and he has just thrown his account book at an advertising agency but is otherwise only intermittently aware and committed to the bit.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Gun control This shits me so so much! Howard had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the bare minimum, (lets not sell semi automatic machine guns anymore), and wore a loving bullet proof vest to address a bunch of farmers. But now he has been quoted multiple times as saying how proud he was that he was the PM that enected gun control laws blah blah blah, look at how awesome I am. Forgetting the fact of how hard he fought against saying sorry to the Stolen Generation, (because A they could sue, and B gently caress the abbos), how he used the phrase "black armband view of history" to describe anything that even mentioned people other than white people. Not to forget how bad WorkChoices was. Then he even managed to get some Liberal people offside by the way he hosed over Costello. And to the guy who thinks I am over-estimating the Howard hate, whilst I get your point about people nowadays longing for the "good old days", don't forget he was a sitting PM that lost his seat. To me, Howard is directly equatable to Kennett in terms of how hated he was at the end of his political career.

You Am I posted:Considering the hate Victorians have for the Liberals, it wouldn't been too much of a stretch I saw an article recently which suggested the Libs could lose all their Vic seats. I would be surprised if that happened, but not astounded. My prediction is the wipeout the Vic state Libs experienced will be extended to their federal pals (in Victoria, if not nationally).

teacup posted:I think you are grossly inflating the hate against Howard. Yeah Howard's approval ratings remained pretty good right up until the end, and he had a positive netsat right before the election. Here's the final Newspoll before the 2007 election  Turnbull's netsat bounced around -20 for the past few years, and the only reason Morrison's hasn't sunk is because he hasn't genuinely annoyed the public yet.

A loose thread at the bottom of Scomo's shirt got stuck on a nail as he was walking into the office, gradually unraveling his clothes until he was naked from just below the nips. He didn't seem to notice and no one can explain why his pants also unraveled.

quote:"I think she will be replaced by another woman. We will see some very outstanding female candidates coming forward," he [Morrison] said. But if you have a “merit based” system with no quotas, how can you predict a pre-selection like that

Yeah the seat changed demos wildly. Same situation as a couple of eastern Melbourne seats that barreled towards solid blue or solid red during the 80s thanks to housing development/appreciation and loads of blue collar employers leaving the area around Richmond (or straight up folding).

Turks posted:The Greens are the party of rape the same way that Sweden is the country of rape. It sure does look worse outwardly when you aren't just sweeping it under the rug. Hmm yes because Bob Brown certainly never ran hit pieces against those in the ACT Greens who spoke up, the NSW Greens never publisbed the name of a victim when she was assaulted by a Buckingham staffer (who ended up fleeing the country) and did absolutely nothing internally to deal with him and Buckingham and his allies never tried to dismiss everything as ~factions~ and claim that his victim is a substance abuser to try and get out of actually facing responsibility for his actions. I mean sure Labor and the Liberals are absolutely just as bad if not worse but  if you think the Greens wouldn't rather preserve their image and/or the right wouldn't rather victim blame and shame to protect their own than actually loving deal with the rapists in the party.
