Pentecostalism is Scott Morrison’s opiate

Dear @ScottMorrisonMP, what's your policy on indefinite detention? Innocent men and women on #Nauru and #Manus trapped forever without trial. It's medieval, barbaric, lawless. Is that you? #christianity #hillsong #horizon #auspol

Clive will get a breath-taking return on his $70 million investment in his trojan-horse political party when a grateful Coalition grants him the go-ahead to mine coal in the Galilee Basin. His Alpha North coal mine project is 144,000 hectares - 30% bigger than even Adani 1.0.

I was confident of a progressive government with a vision for the future. The combination of Liberal lies a massive scare campaign, a billionaire buying votes then giving preferences to the Libs makes it really tough. Not over yet, massive pre poll to be counted.

@davrosz at least we know polls are fucked

@heyycourtt @Nicholas_Reece How not?

@petejeffs @YaThinkN Tonight we are all Principal Skinner saying ‘No, it is the children who are wrong’

[Noely 🤔 @YaThinkN]

@SEdwards0108 And the sudden approval of the mines he wants?
60 million in doing the 'dirty' advertising for the LNP is cheap to get them approved quickly.

ABC is gone, hard to have sympathy
But.. commercial media, who will have $$ to advertise in them in a recession? Again, no sympathy.

[Noely 🤔 @YaThinkN]

I did!

funniest thing i heard yesterday was @Barnaby_Joyce saying that media advisors have become too big an influence in MPs offices.

...coming from an MP who’s having a second child with his (former) media advisor.

@Left_of_Labor @john_cronin48 Clive has a lot of money.

@MartinGHodgson @SuDharmapala We’re about to find out My bet is that Palmer’s big coal mine next to Adani will get a big fat tick!!!

[Martin Hodgson @MartinGHodgson]

Palmer has spent tens of Millions without targeting a single seat for victory. Instead preferencing the LNP to success in Qld.

What did Clive Palmer promise Scott Morrison in return for those votes? That's what we need to know!

@JewelNature @AustralisTerry Clive Palmer’s deal with the Libs. He put in the huge money, micro-targeted advertising, fomenting fear, racist hate and demonising the opposition leader. All his preferences directed back to the Libs.

[💧Siem Kew @siemkew]

@_JustinStevens_ @j4gypsy @AntonyGreenABC Murdoch's Newspoll is trash.

[💧Siem Kew @siemkew]

@BWorthington_ @andrewprobyn Clive’s deal with the Liberals. Big money, targeted messaging, like Brexit and Trump. Demonise the opponent, foment fear and racism.

[Alexandra @alykesandra]

How can Herbert vote for United Palmer Party when Clive Palmer screwed the mining industry workers, then spends $60M on buying votes yet can't/wont pay his staff & runs away oversees to hide & fakes an illness. Dog. #ausvotes

I want to share a thread of some of the best (worst) quotes from my polling place today, which I collected as the day went on. Speaks volumes about what we're seeing tonight. If you don't laugh you cry, as they say... #ausvotes #ausvotes2019
