Australian Politics thread [merged]

Where did I say he didn't challenge, WP? You're just making things up.

I don't think he is a proven racist at all. That's just slander on your behalf.

Why should he attend an apology for something he wasn't responsible for?

I kind of like how he boots criminals out of this country. Need more of it

[Assange Tiger 😎]

And if you want to be technical, Turnbull called for a ballot. So no one challenged him, it was open for anyone to enter the ballot.

WP channelling old mate Bents......

The change has to happen by tomorrow otherwise this will linger on unanswered for a couple of weeks with all the pollies going on their break and if the LNP wants to go to an election in October before the Victorian state election in November.

Apparently there's a letter going around tonight amongst the Libs demanding another leadership vote.

Yeah WP you don't know what you're on about here. 65 is correct.

Did he not nominate (eg put his name up) for the leadership when turnbull bought on the spill?

Answer YES, so he challenged for the leadership

He didn't have the numbers and lost the ballot. that was stupid, but he is a moron so it's no surprise

He challenged for the leadership and 35 votes was a brilliant result. What even is your point apart from slagging a bloke you clearly hate?

Why is he a moron? He's actually a very good politician.

"Good politician" is hardly what the country needs. Abbott was a "good politician" as opposition leader but he was a disastrous PM because he was clueless when it came to policies for the real world. Dutton is just as clueless going by his thought bubble today of removing the GST from electricity bills which would put a 8 billion hole in the budget . It's populist nonsense that is unsustainable. We need leadership and policies for the long-term that will build and progress the nation going forward.

Dutton was also voted the worst Health Minister in 35 years by doctors.

Well it's good to know someone supports what he did and continues to do to Dusty's Dad 

[Francois Jackson]

first i have ever heard MT say abbott was a good politician. haha

Dutton will make an excellent PM and what he did to those criminals was fantastic. Kidding yourself WP if you think otherwise. if only that loser dan andrews had the same mentality the city would be sitting pretty good right about now

So you supoort what Dutton has done to Dusty's too?

Because it is Dutton who will not let him return to Australia. This is fact, that he has boasted about I might add.

Good onya

Why should I give Dustin Martin's dad special treatment? I don't care about anyone else involved in criminal gangs. Why should I care about him?

Dutton is a great politician with good, targeted policy. You blokes just don't know what's good for you

[Chuck17]

Let’s not forget that bilkes are the pillars of society, a good bunch of blokes that are generally misunderstood.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Oh but Dusty's dad...

Imagine if Treloars dad got deported for being involved with the Rebels. There'd be no sympathy on this website unless WAT showed back up

Hmmm dunno, I have my doubts whether he was a tiger fan or a troll from another club

[dwaino]

Did he return to Wakanda?

[mightytiges]

What a shambles! The Liberal party is tearing itself apart. Small "l" liberals vs hardline conservatives.

Dutton claims early this morning that he now has the numbers.

Cormann tells Turnbull that he no longer has majority support of the Libs.

Morrison however isn't accepting Dutton's push to become PM and is now running for the Liberal leadership himself.


Time for an election now and throw this mob out!

[Assange Tiger 😎]

A shambles indeed.

Bit of Latham v Beazley about it, but a far bigger poo show. Crean loses the party but gets his backers behind Latham to prevent backstabbing Beazley from returning to leadership. Similar deal here but a lot more hatred
