I suspect we will see minimal commentary on this.

Liberal Party is not in chaos. Dan Andrews and his derelict party are in chaos. The story about the libs is already out if the media. You lefties are getting desperate. Its not our fault if Dan and his mob are hopeless with people dying everyday in victoria from covid. Idiots labor the lot of them.

I hope you realise that this statement (highlighted) makes it sound like you are a member of the Liberal party. Do you really want to admit to that?

And just to get in first I have never been a member of any political party. (A pox on all of them)

Both elections are too far away for me to make a decision yet.

FFS Scotty from Marketing is really full of hot air.
The state Premiers will decide when their borders will reopen. And none of them has shown they will listen to the PM.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he wants to see Aussies be able to travel interstate by Christmas.


Mr Morrison made it clear on Friday he believes the downward trajectory of virus cases means states should consider opening up for the holiday period.


“Well look, I believe we can, domestically,” he said about the Christmas travel date, Seven News reports.

Colbeck has to go. Surely.

An analysis of travel ­expenses reveals the Tasmanian Liberal senator — who is under fire for his handling of the COVID-19 crisis in aged care — billed taxpayers almost $20,000 last year to attend several AFL events.

The Sunday Tasmanian can reveal Senator Colbeck, who is also Sports Minister, charged taxpayers almost $3000 to take his family to the 2019 Grand Final and more than $900 to attend the Brownlow Medal ceremony.

Taxpayers also forked out $1334 for Senator Colbeck to attend an AFL fundraiser at Cape York House.
