Angus Taylor has found the boat people.

@spinopsys yup, which is going to be a brilliant strategy on polling day, right up until the point when you realise that you have been outflanked by ON when your far right voters choose OG far right rather than ersatz far right, and your stuffed up preferencing strategy has elected Labor and/or Greens when your candidate, coming second behind the orange menace, distributed preferences to Labor, coming third, who takes the seat.

So much winning.

If you are not a rusted on coalition fan, then Annabel Crabb's analysis of the multiple SNAFUs of the Liberal campaign is an almost perfect article - the only complaint that I have is that she could not write Clusterfuck in full for fear of offending Aunty.
