More rejection of Dutton from Tassie Libs. During covid, Gutwein always came across as a decent sensible bloke when he was premier, and he retained government as a result unlike the mainland LNP.

Looks like another test for Mr Potato Head is coming up.

Even with the mess they are in, it would be a major shock if they were to lose Cook. It's not like Aston or your typical suburbia. The Shire is a place unto itself.

What is becoming apparent to me is the intolerance for someone who doesn't agree with the voice, if you don't agree with it you are either labelled a racist or out of touch.

It is like the Australian public are being shamed into a yes vote.

What I don't like is the lies/untruths coming out of Dutton's mouth.

Dutton's dog act.

‘Dog act’: NT police minister reacts angrily to Peter Dutton’s claims of Alice Springs child sexual abuse.

Traditional owners call opposition leader’s claims ‘insulting’ and Labor demands he stop using the town as ‘a political football’

Truth hurts I suppose.

Yay for inbred pedos

A series of multi-million dollar contracts linked to a friend of former Morrison government minister Stuart Robert will come under fresh scrutiny as new revelations emerge about a senior public servant allegedly involved in some of the contracts.

The contracts in question were signed with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and Services Australia and were linked to a consulting company, Synergy 360, part-owned by two friends of Robert, who was then in charge of the portfolio.

The Victorian Liberal Party faces the prospect of electoral wipe-out, a new analysis of its state election loss has warned.

The analysis, by polling firm Redbridge, shows that while the party is losing ground in its traditional heartland it is also failing to attract voters that are leaving Labor.

It comes as the latest Newspoll showed the nation’s mortgage-belt ­heartland had shifted its political allegiances to the ALP.

The Redbridge analysis found that 900,000 of the 1.2 million primary votes the Coalition picked up at November’s state election were made up of voters who were over 55 years old, non diverse, and less educated.
