Not really relevant or kind of me to post this but Linda Hurly, the wife of the current GG regularly subjects guests visiting Government House in Canberra to her vocal stylings on political issues. Guests are highly encouraged to join in.
She often takes this show on the road as well
Enjoy
Would like to see more dirt dug up about Christian Porter, wouldn't surprise me if his fingerprints are found on more and more things.

I'm surprised Voldemort gets 17%
I saw someone described the poll results as a relief kick. It is essentially the electorate saying they are relieved to have a group of adults running the country and what we are seeing is the winning over of some of those who voted LNP despite having misgivings at the time.
If I remember correctly the LNP vote in the poll was below 30%. I wonder if one day we will see a split in the Liberal party?
It's fracturing already, at least in this country. We don't truck with that 'Conservative Christian' stone-age bigotry and misogyny. If the Libs want to move further right than they already have it will cement them as a minor party and we can expect the number of Teals to double in the next parliament.Sam
Same poll gave the ALP a primary vote of over 40% if the election was held today. A bit unlike Vic and WA, we need a strong opposition to keep the government on it's toes. And by strong I don't mean Tony Onion Budgie Smuggler Abbott strong where all he cared about was opposing everything the government of the day said or did.
Who knows what will happen to the more conservative side of politics. If US is any example then there is a massive push to the far right which is bound to alienate a large number of traditional conservative voters. At what point does the right fracture, or does it?
I blame Murdoch.
Agree, if they continue to the right, they will end up battling Hanson etc for the 10% of the vote available from RWNJs. That will mean Labor stay as the only centrist party, or another party rises to fill the gapIt's fracturing already, at least in this country.

I reckon a period of weak opposition would be a good thing, if Labor take the opportunity to make strong needed reforms without fear of losing the next election due to false scare campaigns.Same poll gave the ALP a primary vote of over 40% if the election was held today.

No, that won't happen, in Potato Head they trustIf I remember correctly the LNP vote in the poll was below 30%. I wonder if one day we will see a split in the Liberal party?
Yes, it's just a question of whether Labor has the guts. I think they'll stick as close as they can to their election promises then claim a mandate for greater change in 2025.I reckon a period of weak opposition would be a good thing, if Labor take the opportunity to make strong needed reforms without fear of losing the next election due to false scare campaigns.
If Potato Head is still leader of the opposition come next election, Labor will be morals.Yes, it's just a question of whether Labor has the guts. I think they'll stick as close as they can to their election promises then claim a mandate for greater change in 2025.
The first business of governments is to get re-elected. With the Libs so on the nose all Labor has to do is not scare the horses and they'll bolt in next time as well.
