You see, the best way to Stop the Boats is a massive swarm of autonomous armed dogs. Strafing a few boats will stop the rest and save many lives in the long term.

You can't make an Omelet without breaking a few eggs. Vote Greens.
I received a flyer from the local Liberal candidate. His leaflet is so painfully generic I am genuinely curious how he what makes him soooo much better than the five women who were also vying for preselection. (Let me guess... It's because he has a :dong:)

He is "committed to public safety, so children are safe playing outside and seniors can feel safe walking to their local shops"

The biggest threat to kids and elderly people in federal division of Stirling is getting hit by a car.

And about that.... Also from the flyer: "He will work to improve local roads, to ease congestion in our growing community."

Yes, what this federal division needs is even more incentive for people to drive everywhere. What a splendid idea.

See how you feel in a few weeks. Kooyong is currently like some dystopian state with Frydenberg’s image plastered everywhere. Don’t go near Kew Junction.

Of course it’s blue ribbon territory and you would expect that but the Liberals are pouring blood and treasure into this one which is just awesome win, lose or draw.

The best part about this for Labor is that they're not defending any seats from the libs, and just a handful from the Greens, which won't keep the Libs in govt. They can pretty much go full offensive.

53:47 for the last three years. The electorate have stopped listening. Why do you think the LNP have (somehow) even more lost their loving minds and now throwing the most ridulous bullshit about EV's after the budget failed to shift the needle?

House prices are in free fall in many key electorates. A sustained scare campaign on negative gearing with the help of the MSM could be quite effective.

Add to that some clever micro-targeting via FB and pork barrelling and you’ve got a solid sandbagging machine in the making.

Plus, that Shorten rape allegation could really sting if the accuser goes on the record again, in the era of #metoo. He’s already not trusted.

Also it’s 52/48-ish.

Just sayin.

I mean, I get why - Hawthorn delivered a shock loss to the coalition in the Vic State election - but I mean... Kooyong's gotta be a lock... right?
If Kooyong's not a lock then we'd be talking like a 20% swing against in that seat and that's "statewide wipeout" territory. If that happened Victoria alone might deliver majority Labor government.

Yeah I get that we're all in various flavours of the left in here, and we wouldn't be us if we weren't eternally pessimistic, but if you honestly think there's a real and likely chance that the Libs will win the election, I think you need to take a step back from politics for a minute and just breathe.

Edit: it's May 18. Looks like the plan was more about having the shortest campaign possible than delaying the election.

It's a shame that addressing the fact a fall is a going to happen would be electoral suicide, because it would be really satisfying to see Labor come out and say "yes the market is probably going to drop a little, yes we need to end negastive gearing, all of this is because Howard and Costello hosed over young people by causing housing prices to skyrocket under their watch and it had to slow down".

Of course actually doing that would be 100x worse than "the recession we had to have", but a man can dream.

ahhh fuck its the rats again
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning,
and the nightmare I had was as bad as can be.
it scared me out of my wits!
my poll numbers falling to bits!
then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me!
I was once the most fair dinkem treasurer in all Australia (ooh ahh ooh)
when that Turnbull betrayed me he made a mistake (ooh ahh ooh)
my curse made each of them pay
but one little seat got away,
little Wentworth beware, it's a seat to take!
In the dark of the night evil will find her
in the dark of the night just before dawn
revenge will be sweet,
when the poll is complete,
in the dark of the night, she'll be gone!
I can feel that my powers are slowly returning
cook my snag and a dash of surplus to then tell!
as the pieces fall into place,
I'll see them crawl into place,
Then bid Turnbull and Shorten, farewell!
In the dark of the night, terror will find them (terror's the least I tell you!)
in the dark of the night, evil will brew
soon they will feel,
that their nightmares are real
in the dark of the night, they'll be through
in the dark of the night evil will find them (find them)
in the dark of the night, terror comes true (doom them)
Bill, heres a sign,
of a new trend line,
in the dark of the night (2x)
*summoning Sky after dark*
Come, my minions
rise for your master,
let your evil shine
find them now, yes fly ever faster
in the dark of the night (3x)
The election shall be mine!
