#Democrats and #Liberal #Media are fooling themselves thinking #Trump’s #Medicaid cuts will win them votes; the #StuckOnStupid #electorate doesn't care as long as their #GreatWhiteHope wins!

""The Liberals are in danger of becoming the Kodak of Australian politics. They are certainly in the deepest crisis since their formation in 1944. It is hackneyed to point out that this is not the party of Menzies, but that does not make the claim untrue.""

An Interesting read by Frank Bongiorno.

The parenthesized greens is my "work".

*The John Gorton Quote is stunning.*

The Nats are same old same old always sooking, always the victim, even now.

“The #Labor MP #JeromeLaxale has expressed his “disappointment” in the #Albanese government’s #failure to restrict #gambling #ads and called on the party to “honour the legacy” of the late #PetaMurphy if re-elected.

Laxale, a left-faction MP who is trying to hold on to the ultra-marginal New South Wales seat of #Bennelong, said he was “sick of seeing betting odds linked to live sport” and told #voters in his #electorate there was “a strong #reform package coming”.

The Albanese government has not taken changes to #gambling #regulation to this election and has faced sustained criticism from #PublicHealth experts and political pressure for shelving plans to restrict gambling ads, in the face of opposition from #sporting codes and #broadcasters.”

I don't agree with this guy's politics, by and large, but this column isn't political, and it is spot on. We are here because people are ignorant. People are ignorant because they don't read. #davidbrooks #nyt #electorate #reading #analysis

& sticking with the #Scottish flavour of this #electorate in this election, #TheGreens are running #McRae #McLeod, the #Libs are running a candidate named #McClintock & sitting #Labor member is a #Mitchell.

I’m expecting door to door Haggis knocking in the seat of #McEwen this year.

I’ll break out my Clan tartan on election day. #auspol
