With reference to Labor's super tax. "This is so sinister, and I want to walk everybody through why it’s so sinister because we’re starting to see a lot of pushback in the media now,” Mr Morrow (Sky) said. The RW media that every election since 2022 has failed to influence voters. 🤣🤣

Nationals have caused ‘destruction’ of rural Australia: Bob Katter
Independent MP Bob Katter says the National Party has caused the “destruction” of rural Australia. “The National Party … they were the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia for most of the last 20 years, and if there were something that they did for rural Australia, I am not aware of it,” Mr Katter told Sky News host Ross Greenwood. “People that keep going in the media thinking these people represent rural Australia, they have been the destruction of rural Australia.”

@janecaro.bsky.social I think that Littleproud has taken this position because his party is a party for the high viz workers and the fossil fuels. The Nationals sadly no longer represent the farmers. If fact they haven't for some time. The second reason is for his own political aspirations.

Husic and Dreyfus reactions to being "dumped " is I think rather disappointing. When you belong to a party you campaign for that party to win. Not for your own political ambition of a cabinet position. Not every candidate can be picked. This time it was Husic and Dreyfus who missed out.

"When Dutton became leader, most supporters knew deep down he simply wasn’t electable. They knew it,” Carswell (former chief advisor to Morrison)said. ..there’s even guilt among some in the Liberal Party for backing Dutton." So much for the so called character assassination by Labor!

Trump's Alcatraz plan may be inspired by a Clint Eastwood movie

On QandA Bridget McKenzie said that their nuclear policy is still alive because the electorates where they plan to build these plants voted for the Nationals. She believes that delivered her party a mandate. McKenzie ignores the rest of Australian voters who clearly voted NO to nuclear.

Sources have confirmed a deal between shadow treasurer Angus Taylor and shadow finance minister Jane Hume—both seen as architects or key backers of the return-to-office proposal. Mr Taylor has been eyeing the Liberal leadership while Ms Hume would become Senate leader on that ticket. Sky

LNP blame the Trump factor. It was more about their emulating Trump policies that voters didn't like. DOGE, work from home, sack public servants, woke school curriculum, anti immigrants, racism, division MAGA slogan (Price) Dutton the strong Tariff negotiator, climate change denial.

This sums up the future. Former Labor minister Graham Richardson, who hasn’t lost his talent for the one-liner, said the Liberals have got to ask themselves where do we go now? “We’ve tried Dutton - what else have we got? Well not much because if Angus Taylor is the answer, it’s a stupid question.”

Morrison surprised voters when he pulled of the 2019 election even though the polls had Labor winning. However Morrison consistently outpolled Shorten on preferred PM (10 points). On preferred PM now, Albo has been consistently ahead by about 10 points too. Interesting.

Littleproud has insisted there is strong support for nuclear. He said internal polling indicates about two-thirds of people living in the seven seats earmarked for zero-emissions nuclear power plants back the move. Well David why don't you share this polling???

When voters were asked the most important reasons to oppose a candidate, those polled indicated Donald Trump as their biggest influence.(Sky) So why do commentators think that ON's preferences will get the LNP over the line? Hanson supports Trump. Why is her vote increasing?

Friday Dutton says we have a strong indigenous culture and we should respect it. Today he's ramping up the cultural wars and says people are getting tired of Welcome to country. He wants QANTAS to stop W to C when landing. Unbelievable for a man who wants to be our future PM.

Dutton says that as he goes around Australia people are telling him cost of living is tough. Has he only just realised this? Albo knew this in 2022. Hence all of the cost of living policies he's put in place which Dutton said no to. It's too late for listening. Time for action Pete.
