So somehow on the national day of mourning for an event they say that the Government doesn’t care about, the Nationals decide to make it all about themselves 🤷♂️

No doubt Hastie, Taylor, or Price will be getting out their knifes now that the nationals have decided there will be no agreement while Ley is leader

lol Imagine beating your chest after Bondi, FAFOing with the government, forcing an early return of Parliament just to split on a national day of mourning. The (former) Coalition are a clown show.

Now that the Liberal Party has 28 seats and the Crossbench also has 28 seats, could the Crossbench technically form a Big Tent National-One Nation-Green-Teal-Wilkie-Le-Sharkie-Katter alliance and challenge the Liberal Party for the opposition status? This type of opposition where the far-left, far-right and people in between collaborate together is actually quite common in many countries and there’s a huge increase in pay as well

bro we’re gonna get one nation as our main opposition party and someday as the party of gov we’re so cooked.

When does the lettuce live stream commence ala Liz Truss 2.0?

They’re like spoiled children. It’s pathetic. I also guarantee this wouldn’t be happening if a man was leader of the libs. I’m no lover of the liberals, but Littleproud has been such a worm since the election. Remember when he insisted on meeting Susan Ley while her mother was dying? Since then, they’ve been spitting the dummy any time they don’t get their way.

Albo looking like Steven Bradbury crossing the finish line as LNP muppets trip over themselves and flounder all over the ice.

The LNP destroying themselves over an issue/situation they manufactured is fucking hilarious

Albo somehow keeps on winning without needing to lift a finger lmao

Again?
They’ve got one trigger and they really love pulling it.
All this will achieve is pushing liberal back/further to the right which really isn’t good news for a functioning opposition (which they’re guaranteeing they’ll be for a long time to come).

Hey Labor! Watch THIS! *fucking implodes*.
Joh for Canberra 2 may also be on the table now. We are so fucking back.

Give it seventy-two hours. I am sure they will come up with some explanation-slash-excuse-hand waving for why the Coalition has reformed.

Queensland will have 4 way contests when Liberal National splits: Liberal/Nats/PHON/ALP.
“Antony Green – elections@AntonyGreenElec
If One Nation are polling 20% in nationwide polls, there will be National held seats where One Nation are reaching 40%. It’s Queensland 1998 all over again where One Nation passed 30% in 27 of 29 National seats.”
Good luck withe 2PP/3PP polls.

You can tell Littleproud’s brain is malformed just by looking at him, can’t you?

It’s extraordinary that after the theatrics which the Coalition engaged in after the Bondi attack, the latest instalment of their psychodrama was a) sparked by one of the things they demanded be introduced and b) has spilled over on the National Day of Mourning.

What did Sussan think was going to happen? Is she stupid?
LordWalderFrey1 on
I can not believe after all the mud that was flung at Albo, which lets be honest actually did stick, the biggest political consequence of the Bondi terrorist attack is the breakup of the Coalition.
Before last year it last happened in 1987, now its happened twice in about 6 months.

What an absolute fucken rabble. Not a fan of either Libs or Nats but they never fail to surprise me how self-absorbed and childish they both are. After all the theatrics around the Bondi massacre to this…what a shitshow

I’m not sure if anyone cares, but it’s not a good look for the Nationals to blow up like this on a national day of mourning.

Ley needs to resign immediately. She has no authority to lead the Coalition and restore the voter base. I’m sticking with the Liberals, but not under Ley. This whole “shit show” just answers the question. Ley is not PM material.
omgaporksword on
Watch them form a coalition with One Nation shortly…

finally about time this happened, hopefully the Libs can rebuild themselves and the Nats are never seen or heard of again

We really are at a tipping point for what constitutes the “opposition” in this country.
The chasm between the ‘centre-right’ and the ‘conservatives’ is widening massively, with core tenets on foundational policies becoming wholly incompatible with each other.
The problem is that in Australia, every single available poll suggests that there is not and will never be a 50% majority of people who have “conservative” views. We are a nation of centrists, with some fringes on both ends of the political spectrum. Labor seems to understand this. The Liberals, Nationals, One Nation, and the swathes of cooker minor parties seem to have deluded themselves into thinking that there’s some big silent majority of far-right conservatives in Australia. There simply isn’t.
T_Racito on
If you want to throw mud at the big two parties that have thus far formed government, and undermine faith in the parties that all our recent govts can be traced to, dont be suprised if the most damaged, is the least serious of them
BigLittleMate on
It’s untenable for the Nationals to stay in a coalition they clearly don’t like anymore. They can’t even vote the way shadow cabinet agrees, for goodness sake.
If the Liberals had any sense they’d unshackle themselves from that dead weight, tack to the centre, and steal votes off Labor.

This David Littleproud press conference is just as sad as his bad hair dye job.

Has the last year in Aus politics been the most destructive year in for the libs in maybe decades. Unbelievable
Holy shit this is such a big game changer

I CALLED IT!!!

This is is terminal for the Coaltion, i dont think they can reasonably come back from this. Only way back is if Ley and O’Brian go and we get a completely new leadership that basically reflects the Nationals. The tale has been wagging the dog for so long now the Libs need to basically go out on there own cause they will struggle the land on any real policy.
Edit:
“Yes. There’s no other position .. our party room has made it clear that we cannot be part of a shadow ministry under **Sussan Ley**,” he said.
Yep, there you have it, get rid of Ley or were done.
I Reframe, ley is done as well. I think Hastie will be in the wings ready to strike, the right faction is going to use this as an excuse to roll Ley.
MrPrimeTobias on
The new game is “Guess The Days”.
In this game you have to guess how many days will the Nats be back in a coalition. You earn extra points for guessing which party they form an alliance with.
Silver-Chemistry2023 on
Is the coalition tearing itself apart getting a counter like *how many days since the Montague Street bridge has been hit?*

This has been the worst day for the coalition this week

See you this time next week when the Coalition agreement is reformed, and again in another 6 months when the Coalition inevitably implodes again 🙃
