Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.

This is how Dutton wins:

Not to downplay the horror in the ME - but maybe there’s some humour to be found amongst the local ructions, by way of a Utopiaesque exchange in the Senate between a Labor Senator and a Vice-Chancellor. Or not. Depends on how you see it I suppose.

Seems to me that truth is now a wholly subjective concept at the ANU. What amounts to a Nazi Salute and a Hitler Moustache to some students might not be a conclusion that adequately considers the truth of the students alleged to have performed the gestures. The ANU’s Vice-Chancellor tasked herself with establishing the truth of whether the performance of these gestures, of which vision exists, did, in truth, occur. Her investigation – presumably taking into account the ANU’s proscribed notion of the truth and after having measured the value of the truth of the various parties – has found, in truth, that these gestures were not to have happened. There was no incident, despite the footage that shows an incident. The investigation doesn’t deny the existence of the footage that shows the incident happening, only pointing out that there was not, in fact, an incident.

I might be missing something, context probably, but for my truth, Josh Burns was heroically restrained in the expression of his incredulity as Genevieve Bell gave a bravura performance in her quest to out-Claudine Claudine Gay. The Vice-Chancellor, it must be said, was superbly assisted by her counsel, the enigmatic and splendid Grady, whose sublime talent for seductive logical contradiction almost knocked poor Josh out for the count.

I don’t know if binding precedent results from this matter - it surely deserves its place in legal history - but there is a Neighbours alumni fellow down in Hellbourne whose alleged predilection for this sort of carry on has landed him in a spot of hot water. There is footage. True footage, you’d think. Assuming the accused hasn’t been diagnosed with late onset exculpatory autism by now, and that Dennis Denuto, having hung up the peruke, is no longer available to argue the finer points of obiter dictum, he’d be well advised to avail himself of the services of the Splendid Grady.

Andy-Mac. Hi mate.

Let’s tax big companies including mining the right amount, just like the rest of us.
Piss off all concessions and tax free mineral acts etc.
We are on repeat play , following that useless US model, like Bernie said a few days ago, the rich are getting outrageously richer and the ‘poor get the picture’ (Oils).
As a nation, let’s get cracking, we should have no debt, housing could be very affordable, hospital and dental free, universities free and no HECS debts because older politicians got a free education

Invest in Australia’s future, not just tomorrow or the next upcoming election. That model hasn’t worked. Spoken by the AW Party for a fair go, for all, not some.

Loony Liberal Ley claims there's People on Mars > Polls Skyrocket to 99.9999% [L] Win.

Biggest Dutto / Media Lie of this Term of Parliament dictates the Polls...
Dutto convinced Media that Albo increased Migration above previous [L] Govt Oz record.
It's a Lie...Liberal Govt still clearly migrated more more people into Australia.

Dutto claims Migration Floodgates deprived Australians of Housing....
Then his own Lib Govt is over 29% more responsible for their Oz record Intake...
Albo is doing his best to stem Record Liberal Flood of Migration chewing thru our Housing...
How tbb arrived at data...
Appropriated = Equal Proportioned Numbers thru Caretaker Mode > July/Aug To Sept
26th July ( First Day Delayed Dutto got his shit together) = End of July as Cut off Point...
As said 23 June Counting would still flow more Migration to Libs...No brainer...All say Aye...
So why not one Media Employee call this out...are all Pro [L] Huh!
Be thankful of Neutral non voting punter to check on this Shit...Coz this Lie Changes the Whole Shit Show!

Liberal Govt = 362.33k Migrants
ABS stats...March 2021 (113k) > 26th July 2022 (475.33k) = 320.65% Rise

Labor Govt = 279.96k Migrants
Albo Day 1 Govt 26th July 2022 (475.33k) > Peak Sept 2023 (739.43k) = 58.9% rise

[L] has 29% higher Post Covid Migration rise than ALP

Even if ya select AEC Final Vote Count period Liberals flooded more migrants in than Alp..
ALP Still always less by number & less by % than Liberal Oz Record Migration Wave.

There is no data showing Alp migrated more people than Liberals Governing Period.
Check once > Check 1m x over...Liberal hold the Oz Migration Record but cowardly fling it over Albo!
Dutto started the Lie & all dickhead arse licking media believe what he says without once checking!
Ask...Where else has any read about this obvious factchecked simple truth...outside of swellnet.
Feel free to check & add it all up to the handover dates...you'll see Liberal Liars are lowest scum.
They're pinning their greediest ever highest Record Oz Importation of People onto ALP...
Ok so none are surprised and idiots already awarded biggest cheating Bully the holy Grail to biggest liar.
KILL KILL KILL...None care no longer...it's over...biggest brain dead dickhead wins by defeating himself...
His Govt caused all this Hot Mess that he banks off to Skyrocket Polls > Flicks his shit onto Albo

https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/overseas-migration/l...

Sure > We'll even compare Net Migration...if ya like...(Won't help...just shows more under Libs)
Same period to New Govt
[L] Increase 367.85K = 103.65% higher migration than ALP.
alp Increase 282,89K
Exactly...it's not even close...Yet Voldemort has such a hold over his cowardly brain dead Zombies...
They all lick before eating his droppings...More please Master...
tbb pleads with Aussies to get off their knees & stand up to the Bully...Grow yer own brain.
Think for yerselves...this guy is #1 Psychopath & all do as he says....

If any here truly believe that Migration killed off Aussie Housing....
Then do as Voldemort Says...Punish The Govt responsible for Record Migration...His Govt!
WTFU Straya > Grow a pair & stare down the cowardly bully skyrocketing yer World.

tbb is getting sick of Cutting Live News or live PM Message to cross to $Gazillion Dutto Ad.
Are we ready...Going live...Look At Me...
Dutto : "Wotz important here is are you better off from Albo opening the Migration Flood Gates!"
Media Scrum : "Tell us Albo ...Why did you Cowardly open the Flood Gates!"
"Why Bother With Election > Next $Gazillion [L] news Bulletin will Confirm Dutto is already PM!"

The greatest lie of All ...Never happened...
Read for yerself > Take all the time ya need...
Liberals unleashed greatest ever Migration Wave in Oz History...
ALP are hosing it down...29% less Migration & lowering more each Quarter!

Trust yerself...Grow a brain...Don't let this Goon Tell ya what to think...you are better than this!
Dutto Holds Oz Migration Record & he's so ashamed he blames everyone else!

He's only doing what Dutton tells him.

At a time when all politicians should display a united front against terrorism, all Dutton and his shit stirring little urger mates in the LNP can do is stoke more division by blaming Albo for the problem.

Dutton holds his seat on less than a 3% margin. It would make me eternally happy if this nasty piece of work was rolled at the forthcoming election.

The problem is that those in the population with only half a brain actually believe the crap that comes out his mouth, and the other part of the population that have both halves of their brain are wondering how the fuck this nasty little turd became relevant in the Australian political landscape. I feel for the state and federal investigators in all these anti semitic attacks knowing stuff that Dutton doesn't know, but having to listen to him politicise the whole issue for his personal and political gain.

I think Mr. Dutton has removed the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags so he can stand in front of a series of false ones.
Things are not entirely as they seem in relation to this recent spate of Australian antisemitic terror in my opinion.

Liberal / Media lies blame ALP for Oz Record Liberal Mass Migration Crisis...
Liberal / Media lies also blame ALP for Liberal's 2x Higher run of Inflation

PM Abbott > Turnbull > PM Scomo
Inflation rose 62% of duration of Liberal Govt 2013-2022 (Dropping only 32% of their rule)
Rising (9.8) over 21 Quarters (equalling over 2 Quarters) Dropping (5.6) during 11 Quarters.
Averaging 4.2 higher prices over Abbott > Turnbull > Scomo Govts.
Quite clearly worse off with prices rising twice the time...[L] blows out cost of living crisis 2 fold.
A vote for [L] under own record is a Vote for living under inflation for twice as long as not!

PM Albo gets flogged hard over inflation & swears Voters will be worse off under [L]...check data...
Liberal inflation kept rising 30% of Albo's term as he lowered inflation 70% of his term.
Albo inherited a typically common fast rising inflation crisis from [L] All see that's normal...
Rising (1.9) over 3 Quarters then Dropping ( 5.6) over 7 Quarters
Averaging -3.7 lower consumer price index over Albo's first term.
Quite clearly better off with prices dropping twice the time. ALP is halving the Cost of living crisis.
A vote for ALP under current data is a vote for living under reduced inflation twice as long as not!

A Child Economic Student can verify Albo is Twice better at keeping prices down than Lib PMs.

ABS (cpi) ...Voters would be twice as worse off under Dutto & twice better off under Albo.
Voters clearly wish to ignore Economic reality & wish to vote for 2x poorer economic [L] Govt.
Economic crisis headed for disaster...
Voldemort @ Hogsmeade Station on NZ Back on Track into deepest darkest Coalition Depression.

Exactly wot Albo Said...way better off under ALP...well durr...
Be impossible for Media or voters to think or vote otherwise for more of that 2x worse [L] Shit!
But tbb is not stupid enough to vote!

tbb is neutral so is this ABS data...can't serve up anything other than this here obvious truth...
Exactly...The [L] Media lied again (Surprise!) Lied & still lying...about Migration / Inflation...
Clearly be 2x worse off under [L] without involving an Opposition Party.
Yep! Data shows they're that bad at running an economy...not even [L] PM's would vote [L]

Notice it's again not even remotely an ALP crisis...just another woke [L] crybaby whinge fest!
Both Migration & Inflation are long term forever Liberal Crisis that infected ALP during Covid.
Data shows ALP Albo has performed twice better than [L] Govts at wiping up their Hot Mess!

If voters are so far up Voldemort's arse...
Wot! Expect tbb to help ya...well...yer in luck...just so happens...we alone defeated your Beast!
Qldurr / Goldie / Reedy Creek resident will share how we defeated Voldemort bullying our town.
The little local [L] ladies cut Volde's Parachute chord & Drop kicked his arse as he landed...Outta Here!
https://www.smh.com.au/national/dutton-loses-liberal-preselection-200910...
https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=GCWEB_...

Sent him packing with his tail between legs...cried like a baby..."I want my Blue Ribbon Mummy!"
Whole Town said...Fuck Off you pathetic blowin VIP [L] STD...
To this day Voldemort still swears it wasn't fair...Supernatural [L] Chiko Chix ganged up on him!
Our little [L] chix took him down to do Oz a favour...WTFU Straya!
Hint : Dump yer creepy loser bad actor boyfriend...he's not really Voldemort...just a big cry baby.

PS : Our same Reedy Creek Chick could've easily rolled him for leader...left you voters his carcass...
