The RVF of all places figures female Julia Bishop is the best current Liberal politician to keep Shorten from being PM... Rolleyes

Yeah Id agree with that. I think shes one of a very rare breed - a legitimately capable woman - so of course the lefties hate her.

The second spill is being shown on the Today Show at the moment. Looks like Dutton will become PM by the end of the day.

Sayonara, you (((Goldman Sachs))) piece of shit! We'll finally have a REAL PM in the house!

Bit of a pack of jackals I imagine at the moment.
All their own delusions of grandeur coming to the fore.

Yet I would still contend that while perhaps not the best person for the job overall, she wouldn't be worse than Shorten & if it means keeping the Liberal party in.
It may well be the lesser of two evils...

NEW CONTENDER: Bishop poised to run for the leadership

THE Liberal leadership is shaping up to be a three-way contest with Julie Bishop poised to make a run for the top job.
A senior Liberal source told news.com.au that the Foreign Minister would throw her hat in the ring in the event of a leadership spill tomorrow.
There has been growing pressure on Ms Bishop to declare herself as the third candidate to become prime minister, with members of cabinet “strongly” encouraging her to run, 7 News reports.
The other candidates vying to replace Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull are former home affairs minister Peter Dutton and Treasurer Scott Morrison.

Peter Dutton: ‘I’m a 30-year-old black man’

A BLOKE from Texas is getting a lot of tweets today from people who think he wants to become Australian prime minister. He’s now considering it.
“I wish the people of Australia would look at my profile and realise I’m a 30 yr old black man before sending me tweets and DMs,” Mr Dutton, the Texan, posted today.
He tweets under the handle (@PeterDutton5) while the former Home Affairs Minister and prime ministerial contender is (@PeterDutton_MP).

But Austin’s Mr Dutton, who works for a gourmet popcorn company, is taking it in its stride. When someone suggested “Mate. It’s anyone’s game at the moment over here. Come try out for Prime Minister?” he said he was “packing his bags”.
“We could use a 30yo black man as prime minister instead of the ratbags we’re stuck with now,” said one.
“You would totally be welcome to come down and take over. You can stay at my place until they have the official residence ready for you,” John Nicolay said.
“I’ve now found a place to stay. Australians are my newest cousins,” Mr Dutton replied.

Turnbull was always the Prime Minister for the Eastern suburbs of Sydney.

He didn't give a fuck about the rest of Australia. It was just an inconvenience for him to have to travel to some shit hole west, north or south of the Sydney Harbour Bridge...and I'm sure he thinks that includes Canberra.

He was only in it to satisfy his own ambition and sense of grandeur.

I'm sure Tony Abbott is enjoying this show...revenge politics.

Julie Bishop is very chummy with Hilary Clinton and thinks she's a great role model. If Bishop gets the PM position, we're all fucked.

Way to win elections in Australia:

Govern responsibly for the good of the greatest number of Australians possible.

Choose the most photogenic backstabbing cunt a few months before the election and sit them atop the corpse of the last guy.

I can at least respect the Left in Australia because they win elections for the purpose of instituting Left wing policy, while the centrist Liberals win elections for the sake of sitting on their high horse and attempting to appear magnanimous.

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

GASLIGHTING! all the way...it's the Aussie way, today. (Same in the UK once-upon-a-time conservatives, same for the RINOs in the US.)

Sad, isn't it.

From what I've noticed, Scott Morrison does not appear to be the type that takes Labor's shite.
Whether he can win the next election though...?

45-40, Scott Morrison beat Peter Dutton to become our new PM. Hilary's clone Julie Bishop did not get anywhere near it.

Not quite sure how this would affect our slide towards being an overseas province of the PRC.

He speaks less like a silvertail than Turnbull does, but that comes with being a former talkback host. Essentially he's a slightly more relatable Turnbull, which won't help because the problem with the Liberal Party comes from the fact it hasn't figured out the centre-left wants Shorten's cock and the far right has finally figured out with the buttfucker marriage vote that Australians really are that stupid, but not quite as stupid as the moderate wing of the Liberal Party.

Yes, and the deluded ringmaster is the Australian people.

Because people watch this shit en masse and still aren't abandoning the Labor and Liberal parties alike in favour of other groups in massive droves, never mind that the people who run for Parliament are generally pretty useless. One Nation? Bob Katter? Clive Palmer? That's really the best insurrectionist movement the Right can come up with, a bunch of brainless fucking Queenslander Boomers?

Turnbull the Liberal Rudd going out classy and forcing a by-election in his seat I see when we're only about 6 months out from a general election.

Never mind that the government only has a one seat majority in the House of Representatives, and a loss in that seat would quite literally hang the government and force an election to be called anyway.

Fair bet it was only ever about the status with Turnbull. Never about making Australia great again.

As for the upcoming election.
Keep your discussions to family & friends in areas where it matters. Illegal migration, migrant crime, job security in the face of mass migration.
No point harping on about a dead issue such as gay marriage.
Doubtful you'll swing minds in regards to issues such as gay marriage.

Whereas even a left leaning loon would not want Apex arseholes running around their neighbourhood.

I highly recommend that guys watch the ridiculous Emma Husar interview with Leigh Sales on ABC:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMCw7B8_LpY

https://tv.press.abc.net.au/730-leigh-sa...emma-husar

When Robert Doyle, the former Lord Mayor of Melbourne, was accused of sexual harassment, he (like 2,000 other reasonably well-known men around the world) was given no chance to defend himself and is still presumed to be "guilty".

But when dear Emma, who also got her political office staff to pick up piles of dog turds, is accused and "exonerated" (only of the sexual harassment aspect) by the same party that protects women with mandatory quotas, suddenly a "sexist" mob is responsible for the complaints against her.

I'm also thinking of Paul Nungesser at Columbia University - he was "exonerated" by what is otherwise a kangaroo court and still found himself harassed and hounded until graduation and beyond.

I always wondered why Australia is going down the shit hole fast.

Those interviews gave me all the answers.
