“Looks like we are heading for Communism. Well played Australia.”

Was kind of hoping it was funny trolling but a look at the guy’s posts says it isn’t.

Well, they are ahead in 6 seats and they only need 5 of those. Not a foregone conclusion yet.that they won't be in minority.

But at least the Libs can't.win.

For Sky, Communism = anything to the left of Reinhard Heydrich.

Alternatively, it's anything Rupert tells them he doesn't like.

They are trying to imprint the American idea of what constitutes being left wing, which is to say mildly right wing to the rest of the world.

Yes, so much lifted American politics. He gets Joe Biden’s dementia attacks for his struggling with unemployment and the six NDIS platform points. But it feels like he had a fairly strong rejection of that kind of inane polarisation in politics.

Yes, those ads were devastating.

The counter adverts that exposed the context of some of the “not my job” quotes as being a misrepresentation were feeble because we’d had our fill of him saying it too many times in different language, vanishing on holiday in the fires, then trying to defend that.
 
There's a good opportunity for fortunetelling here...

Anyone care to speculate on which Libs will suddenly find a need to 'spend more time with their family' rather than spend the time on the reduced salary as a member of the opposition?

And, as I said in another thread, create an opportunity for Frydenberg.

They will go back to speculating on the trading floor with other peoples' money, forcefully taking over rival corporations, defending fellow corporate villains in court, bothering all the sheep, and digging up enormous chunks of Australia and shipping it overseas.
 
Reviving this thread briefly to observe that now he's no longer Prime Minister, he feels he's free to really say what he thinks.

‘We don’t trust in governments’ or UN, Scott Morrison tells Margaret Court’s Perth church

Australia’s former prime minister tells congregation: ‘We don’t trust in the United Nations, thank goodness’


Scott Morrison has said he and his fellow worshippers “don’t trust in governments” and “don’t trust in the United Nations” during a sermon at Margaret Court’s church, where the former prime minister also said God had a “plan” for him after his election defeat.

“You’re not defined by your grievance or your offence or being part of some collective set of grievances you have to constantly assert out there,” Morrison said in his address to the Victory Life Centre in Perth on Sunday.

In the 50-minute address, Morrison reflected on the Coalition’s May election loss and spoke of his personal faith.

“Do you believe if you lose an election that God still loves you and has a plan for you?” he said, to laughs and cheers from the audience. “I do. Because I still believe in miracles.”

...

Morrison called on worshippers to put their faith in religion above other institutions like government.

“God’s kingdom will come. It’s in his hands. We trust in him. We don’t trust in governments. We don’t trust in the United Nations, thank goodness,” he said. “We don’t trust in all these things, fine as they may be and as important as the role that they play. Believe me, I’ve worked in it and they are important.

“But as someone who’s been in it, if you are putting your faith in those things as I put my faith in the lord, you’re making a mistake. They are earthly, they are fallible. I’m so glad we have a bigger hope.”

...

The former prime minister also criticised so-called identity politics. “Something I’ve always railed against, the idea you’re defined by your gender or sexuality ... your race, background, what language you speak. No. You’re defined as an individual, amazing creation of God,” he said.

...

Speaking about the concept of prayer and reflection being a “safe space”, Morrison also appeared to poke fun at that terminology being applied to places designed to be free from abuse or bigotry.

“These words have been taken out of so much context these days and applied to things … oh, don’t even get me started,” he joked. “A real safe space is in communion and prayer.”
