I think that 75% of Paulines vote are #Libs who see how useless their party is but just can't bring themselves to vote #Labor or #Greens - so they go for the other #RWNJ party - #OneNation.

Anyone who had an original thought in their head in #LiberalParty lost their seats years ago. What's left are the very dregs. Unemployable outside of politics & only in it to rort the taxpayer.

@John I endured to see what they said about SA then Freedom Boy turned up and that was enough.😉

#Libs are now seen as useless with petty infighting consuming them and policies only negative, no future planning only personal self enrichment.

Suspect it is very optimistic to imply 'protest votes' account for #PHON success. It is more serious than that, there are many malcontents only too pleased to support racism and guns, such as the sovereign citizen rabble. PHON bangs the drum that immigrants are the reason, which is nonsense, but they want to believe it.
People are rightly frightened by this present world and the instinct to shut it all out of Australia is not unnatural. They forget that PHON
supported and encouraged exactly what has caused this to happen through #USA and #Israel warmongering.
But also many strugglers disappointed and disillusioned with #Labor broken promises. Just a few examples:-
They see big companies like Colesworth making huge profits while cheating on so called 'bargsin ' prices, while they can't cover cost of groceries, can't even dream of a roast on Sunday.
People still having to work multiple shifts to support families then seeing MPs cheat with expenses. MPs having multiple houses through neg gearing etc while they struggle to pay rent.
Families broken by gambling yet children still exposed to ads at every TV sport aired.
Hopes for Aged Care and NDIS improvements shattered by new cost cutting systems and rules making for hardship of increased expense and loss of previous services.
Labor better take this as a strong warning, not a triumph. #Greens have serious work to do nationally.

Ahhh, well played #ABC… spin the environmental disaster that this algeal bloom poses days before the polling booths open… well, given that you are so into #BothSideism in you reporting I look forward to some juicy embarrassing titbits on the #Libs, #Nats and #PHON, and any other #IND you can throw dirt at.

I really wish there was some analysis reporting on the #Policies all candidates are taking about because the rest of the msm surely won’t, but I guess that is too much to hope for from mediocre reporting.

#ThisIsNotJournalism. The ABC ought to be about #Informing the public and helping electors to make an informed choice at the ballet box, not about an climate induced and dangerous natural phenomenon that science is hard pressed to contain (as if a policy/legislation could ever eradicate that problem).

What do we have to do to get journalists/editors to do a half decent job of it? Ppffftttt.
