If we had a Howard era LNP in Parliament with Shorten ALP, the ALP would be exiled to the far realms of Electoral Oblivion for the next four election terms with the sort of poo poo like Dastyari popping up.

Shorten and his era of ALP are only going to win the next election because Abbott/Turnbull LNP are beating them in a contest of falling down the stairs. Without the LNP to contrast against and Besieged Malcolm on the front page so often, the factional infighting and drama of the ALP would be the focus of media outlets.

Shorten is only desirable in the same way that, after a nasty case of food poisoning from a service station pie, you just really want a piece of plain bread.

Greens voters are essentially $80-110k per annum human resources managers that say things like "oh actually I think unions are necessary and working people deserve to be represented".
Because Greens voters are all one big monolithic stereotype, way to drink the ALP "they're stealing our votes!!!!!" kool-aid.

It's not like the Greens have a very strong following from younger people, who are largely under the average take home pay and honestly just want to have any kind of chance of a career.

You can see how the Libs are trying to shift the focus of the RC into super funds but seriously, if they don't actually go after banks then George Christensen and the other Nats pushing for this will run riot and it'll just divide the Coalition even further apart.

Young staffer knocked up, but he was cheating with more than one person, and had been for years. Which, when you think about it, means there were at least three people willing (presumably) to have sex with Joyce. If that isn't impetus for someone to reevaluate their life, I don't know what is.
I'm going to assume they're all willingly living in Tamworth so their judgement is already questionable at best.

Nah you jumped to the defense of Shorten just like you do whenever anyone even mildly criticises the ALP. Then someone said that flip-flopping political stances based on who currently has a slim majority isn't the best idea and you brought up dictatorships for some reason. I think we want politicians who are honest about who they are and have personal convictions, instead of politicians terrified of supporting basic legal rights for homosexuals until it looks popular enough to become safe.

But I remember when I worked 10-7 every day and then had 3 hours total of travelling to and from work on top of that and I just never had time to do anything, it was horrible.
