    I await for Littleproud to sell this development as akin to him splitting the atom, or discovering penicillin, or a new theory of relativity.

    His moves are always so genius, you see, as he spouts his manoeuvres as 5th dimensional chess.

    The Coalition implosion has been like watching a clown car running over more clowns, before hitting a dumpster fire filled with even more clowns, and now a multitude of clowns are running around with hair on fire, and the audience doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry because it’s so ridiculous and can’t be real, right?

  3. Looks like the party room isn’t stoked with the idea of a paycut, having to fire staff and losing electoral funding. Who possibly could have guessed that this would make people unhappy?

  4. “Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the leader of the New Coalition between the Nationals and One Nation…BARNABY JOYCE!”

  5. This might actually be more frustrating than if we became a one-party state through repression, since then you have some recourse as a people; it would even be easier if the LNP was infiltrated by saboteurs, but this is just everyone being so bad at their job that there are no political checks and balances against the government. How do you put forward this many incompetent people in a population of 28 million? How has that whole nation not forgotten to breathe or nuked themselves when an engineer tried to make a phone call from a submarine? This does not add up.

  6. “I’ve spent ten years detoxifying this party. It’s been a bit like renovating an old, old house, yeah? You can take out a sexist beam here, a callous window there, replace the odd homophobic roof tile. But after a while you realise that this renovation is doomed. Because the foundations are built on what I can only describe as a solid bed of cunts. ”

    What the heck is going on?

    Are the Nats trying to put the fun back into dysfunctional?

    All of this chaos from a party that is currently polling at 2.5% of the national vote is genuinely, truly shocking and shows how out of touch the Nats are. Have fun losing all of your rural seats and getting wiped out by One Nation at the next election, Nats.

    HAHAHAHAHA goddamn did Victoria Libs send their perpetual chaos virus up to the federal LNP or something???

    This might be the one thing that saves Sussan Ley, if Littleproud loses or is at least wounded in the attempt, her position will be much stronger. All the Nationals had to do was keep themselves together, snd they couldn’t do that.

  12. When the Nationals go to Albanese asking for staff and funding, he should off them one (1) meat tray.
