If there's one thing that comes out of this, it's that Queensland needs to be sawn off the continent, towed out to sea and sunk. Sure, the Great Barrier Reef would be a loss, but those idiots are going to kill it anyway, so...
Morrison (who tried to claim credit for the Same Sex Postal Vote that he abstained from voting in) has been rewarded for lying and lying and lying and lying about who is lying. And on Insiders this morning, Frydenberg is still lying.
Dutton got back in. Christensen got back in with an increased margin. Abbott got the arse, at least. One bright light in a morass of despair.
Well, two lights. As bad as these results are for civil society in Australia, at least we can be sure that Russians haven't directly edited the numbers (because everything is on paper), that we still have a functional Electoral Commission which hasn't been entirely suborned by the Regressive party, like the US has (*cough*gerrymandering*cough*).
But that's cold comfort when we see people returned to their seats in the House when they should have a seat reserved at the Hague. Dutton is still minister for theFatherHomeland. That's the thing that hurts the most.

Date: 2019-05-19 01:11 pm (UTC)I shall long hold in memory the manifold sins of this the most utterly dreadful government we have ever experienced. As if the kleptocracy, the corruption, the crony capitalism, the wanton cruelty, the flagrant injustices, the drive-by shootings of welfare recipients - all this mountain range of sin and depravity - were not enough....
... the one thing you must never, ever, ever do in government is whip up the passions of the mob. It's a cardinal sin for anyone in government. We know where this leads. For alleged conservatives to do it... that's the Sin Against The Holy Ghost.
