Just because they won in a landslide, doesn't mean they're outstanding at their job.

Nationally, and even more so in SA, the Libs are an absolute basket case, West Coast were a more effective opponent for AFL teams than the Libs are to Labor.

Yep, agree.

The point I was making that despite their issues people still voted for them in preference for the alternative who are imploding as we speak.

No good can come of this.

Yet a couple of months beforehand, the Coalition were in front in the polls

Like Marshall / Liberals in SA, their campaign was astonishingly bad

I’ve stated many times before, the likes of Hawke, Keating and Howard, regardless of whether you agreed with their policies or not, will seemingly never be seen again.

We are faarked.

Dutton trying to be Trump 2.0 was quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever seen

Marshall thinking he was going to waltz it in was just as bad.
Mind you, 12 months before Mali was saying, in private, that he didn't expect they would win

Marshall’s antics at the Robin Hood on election night were gold.

I really struggle to conceive of what a prime minister can do, in the short-term, to influence interest rates.

There have been for around 5 years

One of our major domestic problems is power
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-28/ ... /105941120
Despite the BS that renewables are cheaper, we are heading towards a melt down of industry for no practical reason
Nett Zero will achieve absolutely nothing in Australia except make people like Turnbull and Holmes a Court richer whilst the rest of us pay and lefties wanking on
The thing about Net Zero is that it's an idea and not a plan. This is what we want but how do we get there? Is there even possible with our current technology limitations?

I'm not sure it is. The bigger picture is consistently missed, and the big game is forgotten.

Simon Holmes a Court would be a grafter if he wasn't a billionaire thanks to Daddy.

Very little pointed towards Marshall being swamped as he was but I agree, they appeared to think the COVID management would keep them in for another term.

I disagree, Dutton made the mistake of thinking Australians looked up to Trump and the way he does politics, he was only listening to his rank and file though and not average Joe Australia.

Yep but he **** up because he wasn't a c*** like Andrews and McGowan
He was talked into opening the state up for the Test
Their reasoning was the exact opposite of what they had been preaching :Hangman:
