Pretty much what Morrison was doing. That and hiding his ministers.

That an apparently being more appealing than the other guy.

Got to laugh at the media drongos and their polls. Wrong again. I think they are so stupidly biased and have this arrogance that if they want it bad enough they can sell their fake news polls. Funny but that's not what happens when the votes get counted.

Well apparently she supported the reversal of penalty rate cuts and opposed fracking. Not that either of those will get much attention now anyway.

Well a broken clock and all that ... Yes but now I don't think any of that will get much attention.

BTW the NZ PM is fantastic I just wish she was our PM
 
A One Nation truck has been destroyed by fire in the carpark of my local shopping centre. Police have said the fire is suspicious and Pauline is blaming the left.
 
I am a bit confused as to why the truck was parked in the hotel carpark if the candidate himself was in the shopping centre getting groceries. At the time of day when it happened there would be plenty of room in the shopping centre carpark. It is a rather small shopping centre that never really gets crowded. Maybe he wanted to get alcohol at the pub after he finished shopping to console himself after his miserable result in the election. However there is a bottleshop in the shopping centre.

A very Presidential style campaign. A president doesn't show his cabinet until after the election, and keeps the focus on him. Many people fell for it. So angry and disgusted right now. I'm going to step away from social media for awhile and concentrate on writing. Getting furious about the LNP is not going to put dollars in the bank, and I will need them, now because of all this.

Back in 2007 the libs attack rudd claiming he was running a presidential style campaign and that it was unAustralian but then if they weren't being hypocritical arseholes we'd all die of shock.
 
I found after the election to concentrate on other things. Had to hide some pages on facebook and remove some people from certain posts if I think they may say some stupid. Got an uncle who reacted the tony abbott picture that I shared when decided to do this. Also thinking of newscorp ban for a while, when I don't look any of their sites or newspapers.
 
What about the candidates they had to dump because they kept saying stupid shit on social media? What happened to that woman in Tasmania who Morrison was trying to hide from?
 
It's understandable wanting to avoid social media if you think some gloating is going to drag you down but I think people get comfortable in their echo chambers. That's how they miss out on the real world.

That's the main reason I don't block people on Facebook. Sometimes their comments drive me insane but I think it's worthwhile being aware of their opinions. But on Sunday I had to take a break from social media and completely ignore some people just for my own mental health.

Totally understandable :)
 
Tasmania Fire Service investigators have announced that the fire in the One Nation truck was mostly likely caused by a discarded cigarette, The police have review CCTV footage and no one was seen running away from the truck.

I doubt Pauline Hanson will apologise for jumping to conclusions and blaming ‘lefties’.

You know I don't like or support Pauline but I kind of 'get' she would jump to that conclusion.
