      Well that should win back voters who voted ALP last time and avoid splitting the vote with One Nation before descending into total irrelevance.

      I think everyone saw this coming tbh – elect someone from the right faction, and you drift further to the right.

      So far, they have done nothing to win back the voters they need to get back into Government, so I guess their goal is net-zero seats by 2030 🤷‍♂️

      Principal Skinner: Am I the one that’s out of touch?

      No. It’s the electorate that is wrong.

      Worked so well last Federal election. Let’s see if Mr Taylor can manage to lose his seat in the next one.

      There won’t be many women in the shadow cabinet because Angus isn’t allowed to be alone with them.

      Never forget angus stole $80 million from the government.

      He just so happens to give $80 million of tax payer money to a company which he was previously the director of and is good friends with. The $80 million was to buy water rights which have yet to even be seen.

      Also forged documents to try to get his wife to become the mayor of Sydney.

      I worry that they’ll get in eventually if people get tired of labour, and we’ll be on the receiving end of their absurd policies.
      But hopefully someone smarter than me can say they have an ice cubes chance because voters just aren’t leaning that way in this country.
      If anything we’ll get more independents or something.
      They’re just so out of touch it’s insane.

      Taylor’s the guy whose family company stole 20mil megalitres of water from the Murray-Darling, got paid $80mil by the Beetrooter to give it back and then just never did, ain’t he?

      Bringing Jacinta back after she was an unmitigated and uncontrollable politic disaster during the election would be phenomenal.

      Like how do you get to that decision?

      Not that I’m a liberal voter anyway, but how do they convince people in the 30-40 age bracket to vote for them. I literally can’t find one policy that might even tempt me to them even if I had the most open of minds.

      “Let’s make it worse!” – the Libs, under Taylor.

      I’m hoping that all this does is muddy the One Nation, Nationals, and Small Nutjob Party vote. I need to believe that the majority of Australians are smart enough and paying close enough attention to the nonsense in the US that any hopes Taylor has of being PM are like a fart on the wind.

      It’s really an incredible thing as someone who reached voting age in 2000. There were, at least in my baby political consciousness, only two realistic options. Now, and over the last decade+, the LNP has just progressively shat the bed in terms of their appeal. Scomo was their death knell: arrogance and incompetence laid painfully bare. In a diversifying political landscape, they will never recover. I like that.

      Is he mistaking One Nation’s rise in the polls as a push for conservatism and not an embrace of simplified populism? Oh dear.

      The teals have this opportunity to do something utterly crazy with the far right wing of the ALP ..
