Also Pauline will make the QR trains run on time :godwin:

This is loving outrageous. When a major newspaper runs a front page like this, its bias should be screamingly obvious for all to see and remember forever. The outrage that someone would leave the beloved LNP, literally photoshopping him as a rat (the Slipper treatment) and blasting him with a quoted-but-unsourced "unscrupulous and disloyal" that probably came from the editor than an actual source.

It is never the duty of a newspaper to so blatantly take sides with the welfare of a particular political party. They've clearly made it their agenda to proactively demonise potential threats to the LNP. This is not the behaviour of a reporter of news.

An actual newspaper would have run the story "Bernardi defects from LNP, starts new party". Although I hope his poo poo extreme-right party goes nowhere, I also hope it has enough sympathetic readers that they feel uncomfortable with the front page of this newspaper and question its motives and lose trust in it.

My God what an amazing gift to the Greens. These images are all tailor-made for political ads and memes. Look forward to the climate change argument next election, with these idiots shown literally smiling and holding a lump of coal.

Very interesting. I would've assumed Abbott is a Trumpist. What is he trying to do here?

That young liberals article was amazing - what a pack of zealous, petty and unscrupulous clowns. So if this article is from 12 years ago, what are the chances that a lot of these young libs are important liberals today? That the right-wing takeover that they were worried about has lead to our political environment today.

Old piece of poo poo; hurry up and die. The reason why left-wing politics gets no airtime and right-wingers are everywhere. The reason why the Overton Window has shifted so much to the right. The reason why now, when people are generally looking for answers outside the establishment, that idiots like Trump and Hanson are seen as the answers, because groups like the Greens who have been there the entire time might as well be background noise. Right-wing economics are gutting the middle class and lowering our standard of living, and then right-wingers are presented as the solution that will fix it. Exposure is everything and the left fight against a stacked deck each and every election.

Too many questions on Q&A and the radio show afterwards were "Why do politicians argue about things instead of working together? Important things aren't being done because they are so politicised." and it was particularly maddening because on the show the major topic they were talking about was renewable energy and climate change, issues that the Liberals deliberately politicised. Malcolm Turnbull was once in favour of the ETS until they realised it was an effective weapon they could hit Labor over the head with so they politicised it and then Labor could only react and now it's hopelessly stuck. See also the NDIS.

These "politicians only squabble all day" types need a sense of history instead of shrugging their shoulders and deciding that all politicians are equally bad. The pervasive pattern is that there is a neutral issue, then the Libs politicise it and attack Labor with it, then Labor defend it (what else should they do? concede to every new attack?) and then it looks like two equal sides squabbling with each other.

I don't understand. How can Shorten have both a higher "satisfied" and a lower "dissatisfied" than Turnbull but then somehow Turnbull wins as preferred PM?

Should Labor be sitting on their hands watching this, or are there active ways to exploit or widen this Liberal party destabilisation?
