We had the best music, the best clothes, the best cars...and great haircuts. 
Not to mention a footy team that was regularly featuring on the last Saturday in September ?

I think Scomo has burnt his party now.
We call him Scotty from Marketing because we know he will bullshizen the Australian public about the usual political promises undelivered, we are not shocked we expect that.
But if it's true that Scotty from Marketing bullshizened the US and UK about the AUKUS Sub deal, he's gone, you just can't have that sort of bullshizen at bureaucratic and diplomatic level. He'd be dead to the US and UK now, just like he is already for France, worthless to Australia on the diplomatic stage, and we need their support more than ever before and Scomo's turned himself into diplomatic poison!

He didn't earn the "Liar from the Shire" tag without putting in the hard yards.

Voted yesterday and it’s good to get it out of the way. I can try to ignore the last days of the campaign ?
The candidates from the two major parties were both present and engaging with voters. I didn’t recognise one of the candidates; her prominent election placards/billboards must feature a heavily photoshopped portrait.
The hardest part of voting for me was deciding who to put last on the Senate ballot paper ?

I am really struggling to get interested in this election. Major parties seem stale and uninspiring and highly glossed independents unconvincing.
Anyway I voted early a couple of days ago and got done with it.
Reality always wins in the end.

We MUST lift this stupid ban on media blackouts. Almost like living in the 50s. Add a complete reveal of independent costings of plans for all parties a week prior to the day of voting. Listening Bandt?

We postal voted, couldnt believe the long list of senate wacko wannabes, trying to find six worthy contenders wasnt easy with limited info on what each ones beliefs and ideas are.
Libs have a decent grip in my electorate so my vote isnt going to matter and I expect more of the same which was a free calendar fridge magnet each year and no further contact or information on what they were doing for my electorate.
