Victorian Liberals replace John Pesutto with Brad Battin as leader
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-27/vic-libs-john-pesutto-moira-deeming-brad-battin-jess-wilson/104764726

John Pesutto has paid the price for trying to stop the RWNJ Liberal Party of Victoria from overtly becoming a proverbial Nazi Bar.

Today's LibSpill sees John Pesutto exit the revolving door and Brad Battin getting the role of Leader of the Opposition. In a follow-up vote, Moira Deeming has been readmitted to the party-room because I guess they want voters to know their political party is a safe space for a transphobe who hangs out with neonazis.

Brad Battin's bio shows he failed a brief stint as a baker, and then joined the police, then got into politics. You can expect him to push the usual RWNJ "Tough on Crime" bullshit.

This is Brad Battin's third attempt to become leader of the Victorian Liberal Party. Previously, he tried to beat Michael O'Brien ("Who?") in a spill. Then, he tried again when Matthew "Lobster with a Mobster" Guy resigned following yet another catastrophic loss in the 2022 state election.

Guy silence on Freemasons membership raises ‘conflict’ questions
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/guy-silence-on-freemasons-membership-raises-conflict-questions-20240227-p5f83k.html

Matthew Guy always was a sellout to property developers — even more than Dan Andrews. This was never in dispute, but the fact that he kept his membership of the Freemasons a secret for so long points to a coverup and is a clear conflict of interest. Such a lack of transparency from someone who was Planning Minister for four years raises questions, and helps to explain some of his more dubious decisions in the role.

With all due respect, Matthew Guy, get in the bin!

Exiled MP Moira Deeming delivers ultimatum to Victorian Liberal leader John Pesutto
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-04/john-pesutto-moira-deeming-liberal-party-internal-warfare/102301226

My opinion is that John Pesutto is a gutless fool, and Moira Deeming should have been kicked-out of the Liberal Party for being a TERF and neo-nazi. Matthew "Lobster With A Mobster" Guy has always lacked the nouse to read the room, so it's no surprise at all that he's calling for "party unity" to defend a colleague who's a TERF and neo-nazi. Right now, Moira Deeming is doing what Moira Deeming does: having a tantrum to get noticed because she's an attention-starved egomaniac.

- VEC and AEC: they show the world how it's possible for an independent Electoral Commission to manage an election. No worries about gerrymandering or voter suppression. We have compulsory, preferential voting and a complicated-looking ballot paper, yet the VEC runs the vote-count and presents results (most of them?) on the same day as the election. 👍

- Teals: still in the running for two seats that are too close to call at the time of writing.

Teals did well to target seats with demographic shift. They got results thanks to strong community campaigning and high-quality candidates. Clear choice for suburban Centrists who can see the LNP has curdled under the leadership of right-wing extremists.

- Socialists: improved their vote in some inner-suburban seats, and earned a nice shout-out from the Greens. Good on them for continuing their fight to shift the Overton Window to the left after the Jeff Kennett years and all that neocon "trickle-down" nonsense.

- Preference Whisperers: they had no effect. So much hot air, and nothing to show for it. I hope this is last we see of "Preference Whisperers" and their hollow hype in state and federal elections.

- Matthew Guy: biggest loser. His lack of care and compassion in the pandemic made him look sociopathic.

Any attempt to be magnanimous in his concession speech has been overshadowed by his fans being sore losers.

We'll never forget "Lobster with a Mobster" so campaigning on integrity failed.

The worst bit: he was the best leader the LNP could offer.

- Mainstream Media: big losers.

They thought they could drive the "narrative" and tell people how to vote, but Victorians are thoroughly sick of Murdoch's lies in the Herald Sun and Sky News.
And we've had enough of Peter Costello's influence on Channel Nine.
Shame on key figures at the ABC for their obvious bias and unquestioningly parroting LNP lines.

- LNP: it's been said that we need a strong Opposition for a healthy democracy, so I'm angry that the the LNP are so pissweak.

The woeful performance of Victorian LNP politicians for the last decade or more is a disservice to their parties, to the people of Victoria, and to the ideals of Democracy.

No Democracy Sausage for you, LNP.
Get in the bin.
