Every former prime minister had a lot of great things to say about Antony Green except Morrison who used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

He said Antony was a professional 3 times. I knew a guy who was a church minister and he talked a lot, but never really said much because he said everything 3 times. I think they teach them that at church… Tell them what you will say, tell it to them and then tell them what you just said.

  Scotty from marketing, a whole lotta words, not much substance.

    Haha, yeah! It’s actually a little depressing to be reminded of his severe lack of leadership qualities.
    
    Regardless of what I think of their policies, every other prime minister has had the leadership skills expected of the role they filled… Except Scotty who was nothing more than an incurious robot masquerading as a daggy dad.

On Sky, Andrew Bolt just said if Dutton loses, LNP has no leader 🤣

source
- Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago
  I think, or more hope, Sky propagandists are as usual wrong.
  
  I think there might be some strong Liberals that could come right into the foreground.
  
  Now that the 2010’s crowd are finally getting shoved to the side, the Liberals might have enough clear air, or a clean enough slate, to reinvent and renew themselves to be more representative of the direction and attitudes of the country today.
  
  Problem they’ve had since Abbott, has been this idea they’ve loosely held of a natural line of succession. That Turnbull had to have his turn, Dutton the same, Friedenberg was also expected to have a turn as Party leader along the same vein. Morrison was definitely the wild card in that though.
  
  A Member i’ll be watching is Andrew Hastie, he seems a good operator, shit opinions on the world, but competence is important, especially in a time for rebuilding a Party, which the Libs obviously need to do.

    Former Labor minister Graham Richardson, who hasn’t lost his talent for the one-liner, said the Liberals have got to ask themselves where do we go now?
    
    “We’ve tried Dutton - what else have we got? Well not much because if Angus Taylor is the answer, it’s a stupid question.”

Duttons concession was shit.

“Labor lied about us so the voters got it wrong”

source
- Zagorath@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago
  I only heard a small snippet of Dutton’s concession that the ABC played while I was driving home near midnight. It was focused on Dickson rather than the prime ministership. But that part of it, at least, was really good IMO. Explicitly saying your opponent will be good, the really heartfelt personal touch about her son. I was impressed. Honestly if the person who delivered that speech was the same person who ran the campaign (and has been a powerful player in politics for more than the last decade), he may have won.
  
  But of course, that man would have had an entirely different political trajectory, so who’s to say. Considerate people don’t exactly excel in the LNP.

No-one booed.

When Dutton blamed himself for the loss no-one booed. Every other concession speech I can remember in my way too many years. The losing party faithful boo when the leader blames themselves.

  Is that a reaction to State level politics?
  
  Or do they just hate the Federal Libs?
  
  source
  - TassieTosser@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago
    A little from column A, little from column B. Our state libs have been closer to the Teals in politics. Dutto going full retard probably turned off quite a few people.
    
    Then there’s also the stadium and fish farms. Protest votes to indies and greens probably flowed to Labor before Liberal.
