When the opening sentence is making fun of children with a learning disorder you better believe the OP will be good!

Especially when the OP has a gigantic persecution complex about their own disability (when they're not yelling about how Centrelink should toughen up on bludgers that is)

Not torturing refugees is something that you can not make a stance against because of popular opinion.

Not torturing dogs is something that should be resisted in a principled stance against the wave of popular opinion.

Surely if the silent majority for one nation were a silent majority they would have elected...a majority. Also presumably they would be silent which would be a welcome loving change from their constant bleating

One nation wasn't running in every lower house electorate. Therefore many people didn't have the chance to vote for ONP in the lower house.

The senate results however speak another tale as everyone in a particular state can vote for the same people. Therefore the final results clearly resonate the feelings of how most Australians feel about our political leadership.

I'm not convinced you actually know what the term majority means, given you seem to think it's represented by a peak result of 9%

Did Lambie tend to vote with the Coalition? I can't remember, although it's probably less likely now that the Libs have had an election all to prevent such "chaos".

So if we were to break things down into generally left and generally right:

Totals:
Coalition 30
Labor 26
Greens 9
One Nation 4
NXT 3
LDP 1
FF 1
Lambie
Hinch.

Greens + NXT + ALP = 38
Libs + One Nation + LDP + FF + Hinch = 37
Lambie = ??

NXT, Greens and ALP are not going to agree on everything either.

NXT is in no way shape or form Generally Left.

loving hell. Leak and the Australian are defending his cartoon as some sort of root cause for CHILDREN BEING ABUSED IN JAILS.

Like somehow having a deadbeat Dad means you deserve to be a CHILD ABUSED IN JAIL.

I'm guessing their argument is closer to if they didn't have a deadbeat dad they wouldn't have been in jail in the first place.

The entire basis of media regulation in Australia is what a reasonable, ordinary person would conclude. To say that a reasonable ordinary person would think Bolt is hyperbolic and opinionated is saying Bolt's audience/followers are unreasonable and extraordinarily stupid.

Is anyone else finding hilarious the new senators who, apparently unfamiliar with the role of the senate, are demanding this and that? Dickheads, you're a house of review, not as house of suggestion. Try for a lower house seat if you want to dictate the policies put up for review, but in the meantime, stfu. Special shout outs to our incompetent media for not ridiculing these thickies.

No it isn't. The senate can introduce bills other than taxation and appropriation. If you're going to scream about people not knowing how the system works, get your poo poo right.

In the actual Westminster system, the upper house is one of review. That's because the upper house is unelected though and thus has no mandate

One of the women in my class doesn't believe that feminism is necessary because women are equal

my tutor told her she should take a bus home from Reservoir station (might have been broadmeadows or something, but low-ses generally unsafe outer suburb was the idea) one night instead of her car and see if she felt the same after that
