Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

Angus should lean into this and use it for the election campaign if he makes it to the next election. There’s no escaping it.

The dumbest man in politics replaces the dumbest woman. ALP are the real winners here.
Even as a lefty, I wish there was a functional opposition (though I wish the opposition was further left than ALP tbh).

Don’t be so oversure. Everyone seems to be concluding that this will result in the Tories becoming even more unelectable and in permanent ALP one-party rule until the Greens become the opposition or the sun goes nova, though seem to have forgotten that the equally dislikable gronk Dutton was cruising to victory until the realities of the second Trump administration derailed the electoral ambitions of the Trump-adjacent right (as they did in Canada).
If Labor rests on the comfort of having no challengers and becomes shit and the public get sick of them, they will eventually vote for someone else whom the billionaire-owned media push, whether is whatever megachurch headbangers are jumping up and down under the Liberal Party banner, Hanson, Palmer, some actual neo-Nazis who have unconvincingly repudiated the whole master-race thing and strategically only wear long-sleeved shirts, or someone else. And then we’ll be back to where we were in the long Howard era, where it’s as common knowledge that The Strayans Are A Conservative Mob as it was before the election that Yeah Nah We’re Not Buying It.

I dunno. I’ve been getting pretty fucking sick of some of the shit Labor’s been up to - or not been up to - despite promises to the contrary. I’ve voted Labor for decades, but I won’t be next time. I won’t be voting Libs, Phon, Other Assorted Fuckwits, either, of course. Hopefully there’ll be a progressive Indy I can vote for. If not, the Greens.

Well, vote Green, preference Labor?

The ALP is the opposition. It doesn’t make a lick of difference that they have been elected to government.

Yes, elect two of the people most responsible for throwing your last election campaign as your leaders. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Liberals.

I don’t like any of the Liberals but Ley was one of the few remaining ones that seemed at least partially human. Taylor gives the ick.

I see the Liberals have decided to lean into their party roots of wanton corruption …
