2022 Election
Don’t care about what you lot in intelligentsia theorise about Shep you old romantic you .... and how ironic of info commenting on irony, who would have thunk that?

All politicians are the same.
Geez Roady, a fair old accusation there: “caused a death”. I assume you have plenty of evidence to support it? If not, it may be time to give it a rest.
Geez the libs got flogged in SA
ALP win govt in SA in massive swing against LNP .... next

kinda surprised libs did so bad in SA
I thought they were the only state liberal government doing alright... not doing good, but doing alright, after a labor government that had well lost its way...
apparently the opening up to eastern states was a big issue, with crew thinking marshall stuffed it up. I honestly don't get what crew expect... of course numbers spike when you open up...
the alternative is... well... unbearable...
conservative (insulated) old adelaide i guess...
ambulance ramping was a bad look though, like really bad... but that's hardly limited to a SA liberal government
well you are the self appointed grammar and spell check cop in town...
hows that 'defund the police' going?
didn't I recently hear big joe say 'fund the police' ...with gusto...
quite the turnaround
carry on...

Wow. I ain't much of an election analyst, but a quick squiz of the results shows that all but one seat saw a major swing to Labor, and occasionally an independent.
I can only find one seat that saw a swing to the Libs - that was Playford - but it was still won by Labor (who picked up 68% of the vote anyway).
So, Labor's had a statewide swing of +7.6% (picking up 25 of a predicted 28 seats), Liberals with a -3.4% swing (picking up 9 of a predicted 14 seats).
NONE of the other parties picked up any seats; Independents have picked up 4 (predicted 5).

Info speechless haha haha bahahaha
You are always there waiting in the dark following me around like a lost puppy yeah...
Pretty sad especially seeing your an old pen pushing retired fart.
I was going to make a comment about SA results being a surprise as i would have honestly thought people in other states would be much more wary of voting in Labor after what they have observed in Vic and even WA.
But Covid has been strange and an eye opener in how accepting people are of authoritarianism and even in a strange way almost crave it, it's much easier to now understand past historically events in other countries.
Reason i deleted my comment, is sometimes its just not worth all the BS, but on second thought, that's your game to intimidate bully silence and cancel, so really i should say what needs to be said and not be silent.
I stood in line to vote at the Maslins Beach hall for about an hour and got burnt, the line barely moved for 15 mins at one stage. When we finally got in there was one flustered woman on the table taking details and about four voting booths. It turned out to be a blessing as by the time I got down to have a surf it was deserted and was pumping and I had the best surf in ages. Had to laugh at the young bird who walked past to the front of the line, refused to accept a mask smugly claiming to have done her own research and got let in by the old bloke on the door.
I see it a little differently: protect your people as per constitutional health laws, get insanely popular in election results, eg McGowan initially. Mismanage and have a big wave, people are pissed, get destroyed, often by postal vote eg Trump. So this augurs poorly for Fed Libs continuing the trend (have they announced the date yet?), Dom copping a big swing against as in the NSW by elections - but it also foretells swings against Dan and Anna whenever they next go to polls. Makes total sense this way, no surprise.
No surprise here Indo...me being South Australian and all.

Yeah im looking at things with no knowledge of SA politics, just thought you guys did good during Covid?
Being a Victorian i would have swapped place's during Covid in a heartbeat.
Victoria has been the real basket case of Australia, longest lockdown in the world, many people lost jobs and business, highest death rate in Australia by 600 deaths(2675) SA total only 231, i think Victoria might even be the only state's who's population decreased (by about 30K) while other states like NSW and QLD population increased by similar amounts. (people basically fled the state like asylum seekers)
Common sense would say it should be a no brainer that we will see a change of Government in Victoria, but sadly like someone women return to abusive partners time after time, we might see the same in Victoria.
“authoritarianism“
Ahhhh, remember the good old days before Covid when all the nincompoops of the world had to worry about was the disruption to city traffic by those pesky extinction rebellion youngsters and how one hope the police let rip and gave them a good lesson in the law.
Yeah Indo Marshall was fine and dealt well with Covid mainly through Spurrier .Bringing back the V8 super cars and a promise of having the Foo fighters play at the after show( I kid you not) would of had a big part to play more so than health in this result.
Marshalls promise to spend 680mill on an unneeded basketball stadium while ambos are ramping for hours probably swayed a few punters.
His JHA & take 5 needs some work. This idiot is eventually going to seriously hurt himself or someone else with these pointless stunts .

Return to an abusive partner..... Is that the coalition's strategy for the federal election? And does it explain their past victories?
The best position to be in coming to a general election is the underdog... the lost cause; the party we all love to hate. That way if you lose, well we all expected that....but if you win....
I'm just annoyed how much money gets wasted on these things; cant we just have a facebook poll and be done with it ?
SA changing govt was the best thing for a LNP fed win. Albo..has zero chance of ever being a PM. Albo will be replaced by Plibersek next.

Classic Ultracrepidarianism or are you bumfuzzled RK?
Not possible under ALP rules without reference back to the ALP membership which aren't going to happen.
Carry on.

All class as per usual ID. Such an accurate & appropriate analogy. You are seriously so out of touch.

Time will tell. It’s a no brainer really.
Btw…I am a floating voter and dislike all parties equally. None have vision and all are fucking hopeless.
After hearing Kimberly Kitchings husband speak at her funeral, I would float away from the ravenous dogs called Wong, Keneally and Gallagher if I were you. He didn’t go all the way because he said I’ll hold back here at the funeral, but he made it clear that the Labor parties culture contributed to her death. If there is no freedom of opinion in this party without being bullied to death, why on earth would you put them in charge of a country?…and if you don’t believe her own husband as a source who the hell do you believe?

Always suspected you were a vindictive troll playing the poor-me Christian.
Now here you are, making hay off someone's death to tie in with your political leanings.
Died from bullying..?
Is that the medical term?

Can you argue against this logic on why it's wrong.
Victorians have been abused, if what happened in Victoria happened on a national level the government would be out in a heart beat, so why not at a state level?
So now I’m a troll as well Stu, nothing poor about me either I’m having a great life. I’ve actually voted for Labor as much as liberal so I have no agenda just look for the better on the day…..and as far as my statement goes , tender hearted people react badly to bullying. The stress can actually kill them and you obviously didn’t listen to what her husband said at the funeral….
Clive Palmer put up the de humanising micro chipping of humans I shared a while ago in Sweden in his latest ad and the facial recognition crap Govts. are peddling as well….I thought that was good…
I also am dead against the giving of weapons to Ukraine which I think is more from sleepy joe than Morrison. Russia and Ukraine start to talk peace and Biden then injects a few more billion in weapons to keep the show on the road….let em work it out themselves without interference from countries that know nothing about them….now we also have to buy more missiles from sleepy joe to top up ours as well instead of housing people….ain’t war grand!!

Yes mate, you're a troll. As you say, "tender hearted people react badly to bullying. The stress can actually kill them."
Which it did for Morrisson's Robodebt, another Liberal crime which you conveniently shut up about in your unrelenting crusade.
Seriously mate, you're a religious fraud and a partisan twit crying crocodile tears.
“Can you argue against this logic on why it's wrong.

Indo I disagree with your logic because your comparing what you term the abuse of government & them being subsequently retuned to power with that of women returning to abusive partners time after time. The issues involved with & surrounding domestic violence & specifically your example are extremely complex & extremely sensitive. IMO you didn’t really think deeply about this before simply throwing that analogy out there.
@Optimist is a nasty piece of work alright. Just weeks ago he was on here over several days/comments casting doubt on the characters and motives of Brittany Higgins* and Grace Tame both innocent victims of sexual assault because their brave words and actions at the time were inconvenient for Morrison. He also had much to say in support of Morrison's flawed religious freedom bill which critics said would entrench discrimination and bullying of gay students. "Fraud" is letting you off lightly Optimist.
@Info's repeated lie about the deaths in Victoria and how the vast majority occurred in Morrison's aged care facilities needs also to be picked up. Even Morrison doesn't argue this point anymore info so why continue with your bullshit-it was a Commonwealth Govt failure.
* The role of Liberal Senators Reynolds and Cash in covering up Ms Higgins rape is yet to be fully explained

I think its a good analogy women in abusive relationships often go back to partners who hold power over them and often make excuses for their abusers.
Exactly the same thing has happened in Victoria, Victorians have been abused by a power hungry fruit cake and its highly likely those that have suffered the most, those in city areas will be the ones that will vote Dan back in.
Yep out comes guy, the real troll with the actual agenda.
I’m a Victorian. Indo-Dreaming and Optimist you both have no fucking idea how we fared. You both garner your shit boring diatribe information from whatever tabloid outlets that’s in your faces first thing in the morning.
Despite protests from the minority fuckwits in Melbourne, the general consensus here is that it was handled as well as it could be for governments at state and federal level who’d never had any experience with pandemics let alone contingency plans for this episode, because Australia operates ‘reactively’ and never proactively. It’s just how we are, it’s in our nature, we’re not planners as a nation, we just deal with what’s in front of us, I know I do.
Indo is a tradie but I reckon he'd be useless on the jobsite 'cause he's only pushing one barrow and it's always full of the same shit.
Even on a global level Victoria has been under the spot light and heavily critiqued and not just by conservatives but even those on the left people like Joe Rogan and Russell Brand
Even Kelly slater said "Stockholm Syndrome can now change its name to Melbourne/Australia"
Implying a similar thing to me, where Melbournians have fallen in love with their captor and abuser.

Twister anyone?
Being a christian, is like being an anti vaxer...both minds are full of bs with zero proof...and both argue they are right, no matter what.
I don't think optimist is a troll...he is however a bigoted indoctrinated religious nut full of hate....he just doesn't know it.
Adam12, nice bit of humour, I think you are right. I’m pretty sure Indo-Dreaming is from Philip Island from memory.. His views sound like someone from an island with insular views on most topics and that dreadful feeling of having to follow the party line and not say anything different to anyone else who resides in the same cave. I have a close relative residing on a Bass Strait island and his views are just the same as Indos, fed bullshit from other islanders who are reading and hearing bullshit.
Big Fucking deal what Kelly Slater says, who’s SHE anyway ?

I’m with the villagers. We all know the real Mr Burns
The ALP increases its lead over the L-NP as petrol prices spike well above $2 per litre: ALP 58% cf. L-NP 42%. https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/8922-federal-voting-intention-mid-mar...
I've noticed @info and now @optimist accuse me of trolling them whenever I highlight the gross inconsistency, hypocrisy and/or stupidity of their argument. Sadly, my work is never done!!

How on earth was it well handled???
Dan fucked up hotel quarantine because he wanted to do it his way instead of the way suggested that other states followed and didn't use ADF as suggested.
An investigation couldn't find who made the decision to hire private contractors, or even what department was responsible???
"The inquiry spent a lot of time trying to determine who made the decision to use private security in the quarantine hotels, but it was ultimately unable to pin the decision on anyone.
The decision remained, Ms Coate wrote, "an orphan, with no person or department claiming responsibility". https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-21/victoria-covid-19-hotel-quarantin...
How the fuck does that happen???
So Victoria ended up with by far the highest Covid death rate in Australia and hit hardest economically, the states population even fell by 30K during covid when people fled the state to gain some freedom, meanwhile NSW and QLD populations rose by similar amounts.
Then Victorians put up with the most amount of days lock downed in the WORLD, The world not just Australia....but hey...well handled???
This is all fact nothing to do with tabloid media or Islanders, its just common sense Dan is a failure and needs to go.
BTW. The observation of people like Kelly, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand are interesting because they are coming from a non political view unlike anyone in Australia.
Praying that Albo does something really stupid.
Praying that Rupert can work his majic with the Kitching bullying beat-up.
