  You mean the ‘split’ was performative bullshit used to get some media coverage? Well I never!

    It wasn’t performative, the decision to split was not a universally popular one within either party room and both leaders are under a lot of pressure. I think both have realised that such a snap decision was not a particularly wise one and are now reconsidering before their respective frontbench positions are locked in. It doesn’t necessarily mean they will reunite.

      Surely they will reunite, it’s political death for both parties if they don’t. It gets significantly more difficult once the shadow ministries are handed out. They have to do it now or face aninternal riot.

      Yeah maybe I’m giving them too much credit.

    Or maybe to get some concessions out of the Liberals. Dunno.

  I was going to post this as its own submission, but the title is so long it doesn’t even fit in the submission length lol:

  Betoota Advocate: Malcolm Turnbull wins the hearts and minds of the bush by calling the Nats ‘pig headed scatterbrained vacuous fools’ who are ‘fundamentally eroding the geometric topology of the nation’s Coalition agreement’
