@burkylie12 May be someone should ask Pauline what Gina wants in return for giving her a jet to fly around the country. I smell corruption!!

[Mark @constestabulity]

@CatholicPaws You are funny!!

[Mark @constestabulity]

@onenationparty0 Yes !! However she is not the answer to the cost of living crisis. At some stage her policies or lack thereof will come under robust scrutiny and be exposed - other than by Sky After Dark

@Michael94858047 I feel sorry for you!

@Matt_Camenzuli What an idiot - never a great comedian either!!

@Ryandally08 Complete bullshit!!

[Mark @constestabulity]

@news_australian Complete bullshit

@onenationparty0 No no no - God help us!! You are dreaming!!

@craigkellyAFEE Labor down 2 points to 27.5%, the Coalition down 1 to 23%, One Nation up 1 to 25.5% and the Greens up 2 to 13.5%. Labor’s two-party lead over the Coalition on respondent-allocated preferences is in from 54-46 to 53-47. A Labor-v One Nation result has the former leading 53.5-46.5.

@QBCCIntegrity I’d wake up and realise it’s a bad dream. It will never happen due to our preferential and compulsory voting system. Unlike America where roughly only 50 % of people vote which is why extremely dangerous presidents get elected.

@AshPolitik @lynlinking Spot on

@S_GerardRennick Doing a great job in very difficult circumstances. The real issue is the demise of the coalition and the existential threat to their existence by One Nation. They need a couple more terms in opposition to work out what they stand for - being One Nation light simply won’t cut it

@ElaineM11584892 @Smizzy777 He is right!! ON is essentially a protest party that feeds off and promotes the worst traits of human nature - racial hatred, greed etc.

[Mark @constestabulity]

@MikeCarlton01 Very good!

@BradJamin3 They call it elections. Would you have asked John Howard to resign - remember his core and non core promises and what’s worse sending our brave soldiers to a war on a complete lie. A bit of perspective wouldn’t go astray.

Labor’s and One Nation’s base get a payslip, not a profit share. Guess who is left representing the rump?

I’ve been watching, running and commentating on political campaigns for longer than most Gen Z have been alive. The biggest lesson? The Coalition are terrible at demographics. They’ve never grasped how small the class they’ve always represented actually is, or how large the class they ignored (that stuck loyal to them for decades) has become.

That ignored class (former Liberal voters) has now walked across to One Nation. And beyond age and TAFE education, their defining feature is this: they’re salaried.

The flip side? Labor’s base is also mainly salaried. Which is exactly why their budget is built around that group.

The Coalition are like Haig’s generals, fighting the last war from a château miles behind the line, certain one more push will break through.

@news_australian Absolutely not!! Disaster

@Ausbobsmit I’m trying to work out what pleasure you get in spreading lies and absolute bullshit. I feel sorry for you.

@strangerous10 @james00000001 Brilliant put down of a man simply not up to the job.
