    Fantastic. Great move.

    Well done, Geoff.

    The Honourable Member (or perhaps his partner?) has addressed the tweet in an unrelated Facebook post:

    Geoff Provest MP

    >Big deal… thanks for nothing
    Always voted for Labor (sic)
    But not anymore
    Albo resign

    Too funny! Albo should thank him for his support in the past!

  3. It’s not a meme worthy gaffe, it’s a fucking lie, same with that liar Angus. There’s no credible way to spin either as a misstatement, something taken out of context, having been misinformed or any of the other usual excuses for peddling bullshit.

  4. It’s funny cause he outed himself but it’s concerning that bots and sock puppets could be commenting and influencing other people’s opinions. MP’s should not be sock puppeting

  5. It’s funny, but why can’t they just own it and say “whoops, sorry, stuffed that up”.

    All politicians use sock puppets and bots and so on. This isn’t a LNP thing, all parties do the same.

    The difference is simply that the LNP members are the ones that keep getting caught.

    I wonder if mps just have bot accounts (or at least moderated) spewing out shit stirring or “opposing views” these days.

    Woops. Bad bot. Delete.

  7. These people are unbelievable. Say what you want about labor but they’re the only serious option to govern atm, which is a problem itself because you could argue it makes them complacent. Independents never been more relevant

    Oh, LNP politicians, I wish you ceased most of your other activities and put more effort into scrolling social media. This feels like a much better use of your time.

    “Nationals MP caught lying in a deeply incompetent way” would be a much more honest headline.

    Calling it a gaffe implies it was an honest mistake, like he genuinely momentarily thought he was a Labor supporter.

    The man, or his staff, openly attempted to lie to people. This refusal to call it out is beyond disgusting.

    Any person whose job comes with the title ‘the Honourable’, should be held to a high standard of integrity and face actual consequences for falling well short of those standards.

  11. It’s illegal in ads to not state who the political ad is coming from.

    This should be illegal too.

    Rrrrreeally?

    Oh, wait. Daily Mail.
