Morrison knew what he was doing, the sub deal was to poison the chalice before Labor gained the majority.

Unfortunately for the walking sack of salmonella and shitty curry, his wrangler (Murdoch) managed to sway the election enough to get the LNP back in power.

I have actually met Morrison in person once (friends of friends of friends) and he is a fucking moron but JFC he's at least a brain cell or two ahead of Dutton

I dunno .. Dutton seems smarter, but more evil. Morrison just seems like a brainwashed idiot who's failed upwards. I don't know how anyone looks at the screaming void of evil that is Dutton and thinks "yeah that thing has my best interests at heart .. or a heart"

[–] Gronk@aussie.zone 5 points 5 hours ago

They're just two different flavours of evil, Morrison is a happy clapper pentecostalist "God favours the rich" evil and Dutton is an ex-corrupt cop who wants authoritarianism under his rule evil.

They both don't have the critical thinking to realise the damage they do or why men like them shouldn't hold positions of power, but Dutton following right out of Trumps playbook despite international backlash is a pretty good case for dumb-as-fuck syndrome.

But I agree, it's absurd that we have these stooges running for parliament I don't know how we got here..

I'm still not entirely sure how Australia seemingly wound up with a modified Westminster system that was worse than the original, genuinely pretty impressive.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Arguably at least we have proportional representation. FPTP sucks.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 6 hours ago

at least we have proportional representation

Only in the Senate. And only on a per-state basis, so it's only as proportional as "a proportion of 6" can be...which is much less proportional than a proportion of 40, like if the Senate were done nationally.

We knew that BEFORE the election and yet elected the LNP anyway, fuck voters.

Could be worse, you could be a murican α••( ᐛ )α•—
