Australian Politics

The guy in that video is beautiful.

The guy in the vid deserves a bump. Is he gay?

No one cares about Australian politics. Least of all Australians.

Jords seems like a very spiteful person.

He sounds petulant and a bit over-motional.

Is there anything in this overlong video which justifies this prick-teasing intro?

Motional, R5?

[quote] Jords seems like a very spiteful person.

Why do you say that?

You don't get that from his manner?

What are you upset about?

[quote] Jords seems like a very spiteful person.

This shorter video might explain some of this over-emotional young man's issues

Motional, R10.

This vaguely-cute young men unfortunately lives with his mother.

Why isn't he out romancing this other young man in his hometown—

Has anything interesting happened there since Holt and Whitlam? Apart from that recent trial of the Pope's colleague, hard to think of anything.

Chris Pyne is just a generic upper crust doofus.

Penny Wong is a bully.

Penny Wong (in front) is a very smoooth operator but I wouldn't trust her for a minute.

Kristina Keneally (in the middle) wears 6 items of make-up on those very rare occasions when she speaks to her electorate. She lost 1 or 2 or is it 3 elections?

The snarling one (in the back) with the unfortunate hair scraps in the Senate enquiry room like a female dog.

There are very very few people in Australian politics from all the parties that are not utterly revolting.

R16 Kristina Keneally lost the NSW State Election in 2011. Left state politics and then got parachuted into the Federal ALP Senate in 2017 or 2018. Did not have to face an election in the senate at the last federal election because she had replaced somebody who was elected in a year not up for re-election last time (so much for fucking democracy in Australia).

Because she is widely hated within the ALP she couldn't get 1st or 2nd place on the Senate ticket so she has been parachuted into the very safe seat of Fairfield.

Horrible person in every respect.

R17 That Sir Les Patterson is one of the better politicians says a lot.

Despite what you say, R18, Kristina Keneally, is VERY photogenic.

Australia has COMPULSORY voting so the brainless ones will vote for the beautiful Kristina (like Canadians vote for Trudeau).

Has Pauline Hanson been vaccinated yet ?

^ Pauline has only about 3% of the national vote.

[quote] Is there anything in this overlong video which justifies this prick-teasing intro?

Yea. Christopher Pyne left politics immediately after being investigated for having staffers bring rent boys into Parliament House to have sex with in the Prayer Rooms.

Pyne is married. Stop spreading rumours unless you have some evidence,

There is evidence of the investigation. Watch the video.

R2, Jordi isn't gay. He stands for free speech in Australia which is slowly going down the toilet, due to a bunch of religious right wing nut jobs..Looking at you Scomo and Dominic Perrottet. R24, Pyne is very mincy. Married or not doesn't stop him from hiring Rent boys. Love Jordi's humour!

R21 Please explain?

R3 Yeah, that's why they're fined if they don't vote.

R28 It's only $25 (I think) and the Electoral Commission will pretty much except any excuse.

With COVID running rampant people will only need to say that they had to remain isolated due to being a close contact of a COVID case and they'll avoid the fine. It's not like the Electoral Commission are going to investigate. They don't have anywhere near the resources.

[quote] Pyne is very mincy

So, R26. Do you hate Pyne for being effeminate? Or for being homosexual?

R30, the former.

Yes, R31, we don't approve of effeminates! Despite being chained into the so-called "LGBTCIXQ Community".

Is the guy at R12 one of his acquaintances?

Alan Jones. Why?

R34 Who are you taking to?

The universe.

Despite that people like to think Christopher Pyne (and Alexander Downer before) are closeted gays there are straight.

Pyne & Downer and effeminate heterosexuals - they do exist. Just like straight acting butch gay men exist.

There are some closeted people in Australian politics (not many mind you - most are out) but I'm not going to name and shame without proof.

Downer is straight. I won't comment further.

R37, preach preach. Don't tell me how to such eggs thanks.

The Jordy video has been pulled.

*** suck, damn it!

R40, video is still up.

Oh yeah?

You’re terrible, Muriel!

No one thought Downer was gay. He just just an Adelaide private schoolboy.

The video is here.

R45 Actually, when prior to Downer becoming leader of the opposition back when Keating was PM he was quizzed heavily by the LNP heavies to ensure that he wasn't gay.

Downer has always been very girly but his strictly for the girls. Got along like a house in fire with that cunt Condi Rice.

My mother knows Downer's sister Stella. I've never met her, but my mother (a life long ALP supporter) says she is really nice and down to earth as is her husband (who she thinks is also an ALP supporter).

This has got to be one of the funniest political stunts ever in Australia.

Shame Gladys had to resign. She really knew who to rule!

Nah, Downer was mostly considered gay when he posed for a “guess the celebrity feet” picture for charity in fishnet hose and high heels.

Of course the mouth breathing cartoonists ran with it for the next 30 years.

The younger pollies are openly gay. The 50 pluses are closeted.l

Jordie's videos were as crowded, messy and unfunny as that appalling transvestite from MInneapolis.

Jords is a creep.

Jords is like Eric Boehlert.

He doesn't create anything; he merely criticizes what others are doing.

He's got a smarmy manner.

R56, did Eric commit suicide or was his death an 'accident'

[quote] did Eric commit suicide

It would seem to be VERY likely according to disinterested, sensible observer. He spent his life shovelling muck.

So, does Albo have the looming election in the bag?

^ after that old fella gave Scomo the old "f8ck off' in Newcastle over a beer you'd hope so. Come on Labor you can do better....get in there Albo.

Don't pay any attention to the media or to Twitter, The election is decided by people with huge mortgages on their western Sydney McMansions and they don't give a shit about climate change or trans pronouns

If we don't get rid of The Liberals Australia will go the way of tRump and the Repug Party. Do we want a bloody autocrat in Canberra?

My hot prediction is that fat fuck and the United Bogans party will do very well shocking the chattering classes who never saw it coming because they don't talk to Those People.

Albo has it in the bag. 99.99% sure.

Albo is a decent guy but the problem is he has a largely shit team beyond him......just like Scumo.

[quote] Albo is a decent guy

Have you met him?

He ditched his long-suffering wife.

Just like father ditched his long-suffering mother.

R66 Their marriage was in decline for a number of years before they formally separated. Carmel was not a long-suffering wife but a successful person in her own right.

They remained together until their son had finished high school which is not uncommon for couples whose relationships have broken down in the years prior.

I've actually met Albo and Carmel (his former ex-wife) over the years and they are both very down to earth and appear very nice.

You'd be surprised just how nice some people I've met are actually nice but that doesn't make them good people by any means. Of former PM's Gillard & Abbott are by far the nicest. Malcolm Fraser was a stuck up piece of shit. Don't know why Sarah Hanson-Young thinks the sun shines out of his now dead arse hole. Have never met her but she seems insufferable.

Gillard forbad gay marriage because she herself objected to the institution of marriage. Or so she claimed. This is the level of cunt she is and was.

R68 This is R67.

Whilst I don't agree with Gillard's view on gay marriage and feel that she should apologise to gay community for the very hurtful comments she made which will stay with her beyond her dying day, the reality is is that I found her very pleasant to deal with.

Some politicians are very pleasant in person even though some of the policies are repugnant. Gillard and Abbott are prime examples of that.

An example of a horrible politician and person is Bronwyn Bishop. Whilst I've never had anything to do with her I've heard of numerous people having nothing but the most unpleasant experiences with her. She is ghastly on every level.

^ Bronwyn, the 'Rottweiler with lipstick'. Always went to the opening of an envelope up and down The North Shore.

[quote] I've actually met Albo and Carmel (his former ex-wife) over the years and they are both very down to earth

Yes, they're both free-farters.

He farts like a fishwife.

[quote] Of former PM's Gillard & Abbott are by far the nicest.

I live on the North Shore in Sydney aka in Liberal Land and have come across John Howard, Tony “The Mad Monk” Abbott and Anthony Albanese in the wild. All were polite and sensible enough to be self-deprecatingly good-humoured when gently heckled by passers by.

Cheryl Kernot and Joe Hockey were absolute shits.

The latter was at a town hall type meeting when he was my MP. I only attended to drive an elderly neighbour, a retired primary school teacher, so she wouldn’t have to take the bus at night in the rain. His gentle giant schtick was utter bull. He had the manners of a warthog. In reply to her question he screamed at her from the podium and encouraged the MC and his sycophants on stage to pile on. The MC didn’t, the staffers were full of smirks and applause. You could hear a pin drop in the room because it was incredible awkward. When he saw us in the parking lot he continued yelling. What a psycho.

R72 I've heard nothing but bad things about Hockey.

My partner met Cheryl Kernot when she was handing out 'how to vote' cards at a polling booth and said she was really nice - but then I suppose in those circumstances I person would be.

Maybe some of Gareth Evans nastiness rubbed off onto Cheryl (widely known they had an affair). Gareth Evans is one of the most unpleasant people on the planet.

Australians are saddled with the albatross of Compulsory Voting so their politicians are forced to ingratiate themselves to all people (the clever ones and the stupid ones) at all times.

It is an impossible task.

Who is the most well hung politician in Canberra?

Cheryl (at the time known as “Mrs Barnes”) was a teacher at my school and fucking the school captain - can’t blame her, he was hot.

They shacked up once he passed his HSC.

She wasn’t much to look at, even then - doughy and a bad bleach job - but in an all boys’ school she was considered sexy. By some, not by me!

Why has that never made headlines?

^

Because the press respected that a pollie's private life is to be kept private.

R75 Penny Wong

R78 This is true but it is actually publicly known. I think it got a small amount of traction in the media but nobody cared.

The only reason Cheryl Kernot's affair with the vile Gareth Evans became public knowledge is because when she wrote her autobiography she left that out and Laurie Oates called her out on it which was fair enough.

They only time the press in Australia bring up politicians personal lives is if they are hypocrites. Preaching 'Christian Family Values' in public but having affairs privately.

I have wondered why the press never called out Tony Abbott's affair with Peta Credlin and Barnyard Joyce's affair with his staffer given that they both preach 'family values' but I suspect in their cases is was about not wanting to publicly embarrass their families. I really can't think of any other reason why they wouldn't have revealed their affairs.

During the last election (or the one before) one of Barnyards daughters drove off in Barnyard's ute with a loud speaker in hand telling people not to vote for 'that cunt Barnaby'. You won't read anything in the press about that.

^ do you really think Abbott had an affair with that b*tch Credlin??

Rumour has it they did. There are lots of rumours about Abbott bonking anything with a snatch and a pulse.

I have no idea if that's true but his public religiosity is no reason to assume it didn't happen.

I've never heard about Abbot and Credlin but it makes sense. What I don't understand is what Credlin saw in the butt-ugly guy she married.

One piece of gossip few people know about: when Howard was PM one of the constant criticisms he got was for living in Sydney, not the Lodge in Canberra. Apparently it costs more for security etc. to live in Sydney. A a friend of mine was working in Canberra at the time and said it was common knowledge that it was Jeanette Howard who insisted on living in Sydney because when John was in Canberra he would shack up with Pru Goward.

YUCK

R84 Very true though not widely known.

Also Pru Goward is another nasty piece of work.

Pru allegedly didn't know her daughter Kate Fisher was living in a Melbourne homeless shelter.

R87 Not surprising. Pru is a self absorbed cunt.

No wonder Kate (or whatever name she goes by now) is so screwed up with a mother like Pru.

R85 What did Pru do to you? And does it still hurt after all these years?

Kate beat me in Dolly Cover Girl competition, but I did get a letter into Dolly Doctor, about a lost tampon.

In Canberra, I've heard all these rumours. I did hear rumours about Pru Howard and John Howard having an affair in the 90's. It was openly spoken about. Peta Credlin having an affair with Tony Abbott. Christopher Pyne being possibly gay, and filling his office with attractive, gay, male staffers. Gay public servants tend to know which departments are staffed with a lot of gay men. I hesitate to say, since it hasn't been brought up, but that Letitia Bourke was apparently caught giving Tony Burke a blow job in a closet, and that she used him as a source to build her journalistic profile, as she was apparently really ambitious. It was around the time she was coming up. I have no idea if any of these are true, but they have made the rounds on the rumour mill.

Isn't there a sleezey gay motel called the Parliament House somewhere in Florida?

I love Rhys Muldoon

He's no Jords.

[quote]No wonder Kate (or whatever name she goes by now) is so screwed up with a mother like Pru.

When Tziporah went on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here she talked politics with Steve Price, speaking her admiration for Milo Y* and then tried to recruit Steve as a political mentor.

He backed away slowly.

Albo isn't very good at maths.

People who worship Leon Trotsky tend not to be good at maths.

This election is really being plagued by social media narcissists trying to centre themselves in video gotcha moments with the politicians.

I'm voting informal in the House of Reps and voting for The Reason Party and Animals Rights in the Senate, neither of who will get seats.

Compulsory voting should be done away with. Never in my life have I encountered such a morally bankrupt group of people from all sides of politics in my life.

If you don't have compulsory voting you get outcomes like America.

R99 We already are so what difference does it make.

I have better things to do with my time rather than waiting hours to line-up. Particularly at a time with a pandemic raging around.

You have many millions of people in the US who are more or less completely disconnected from their electoral obligations. Some might say that siphons out the uninformed idiot vote, but it also means people are not invested in democracy. And that's dangerous.

Best Canberra rumour ever was the very prominent Canberra media figure who allegedly used sex workers for specialist services that are uncommon outside of Germany.

R102 If they are legal in Australia and Germany does not have laws prohibiting their citizens from engaging in those practices in another country then it is not an issue.

R100, have you heard of Early Voting?? Don't be a dick. Get out and vote then don't complain and carry on if you haven't contributed. You have a voice USE IT.

ABC Breakfast host and token ethnic female Fauziah Ibrahim speaks truth to power about how far Our ABC is up the LNP’s ass with her Twitter lists of “Labor Trolls/Thugs” and “Lobotomised Shitheads”.

She’ll be at Sky before you can sneeze. Look out Rita Pahani, you have some competition.

Jords

I like Fauziah.

You can't assume she's a Liberal supporter from that. It's just an acknowledgement there is a genuine problem on Twitter with far left mobs swarming usually female ABC presenters and abusing them.

[quote] I like Fauziah.

She looks so good.

She's a hot bitch.

She looks good on the couch.

Her cut glass pronunciation says Liberal voting power bitch.

[quote] You can't assume she's a Liberal supporter from that

You would have a more plausible argument if she didn’t title her list with the word “Labor”.

Do you agree there's a clear pattern now with far left Twitter and water drip psychos dog piling female ABC journalists and anchors?

Sensible people ignore Twitter.

It is a haven for RATBAGS with NO friends or influence in the real world.

Yeah, it would be fine if she worked for Channel Nein or Sky but it is contrary to the ABC’s social media policy and stated non-partisan charter.

But she won’t be censured because brown girl tax.

[quote] Do you agree there's a clear pattern now with far left Twitter and water drip psychos dog piling female ABC journalists and anchors?

No I don’t agree.

R104 With all due respect I wish to engage with society as little as possible and that includes voting.

I'll vote for the Reason Party in the Senate but pass on the House of Reps. No interest - don't care who wins.

Fair enough, R118, I'd rather you do a No Vote instead of a Donkey Vote. Australia has TOO many donkeys already.

One year Pauline Hanson put herself forward in NSW I numbered each and every box for the pleasure of placing her last. It was so worth the effort. Good for the soil.

The lower house, eh, I understand why it’s less of an issue depending on where you live. I lived in a safe Labor seat in my childhood and a safe Liberal seat since uni so I have seen few benefits from pork barrelling. It would be awesome to live in a swing seat.

R120 I would love to live in swinging seat.

But since the changes in the Senate at the Federal level our votes don't mean anything. It is now pretty much cemented in stone that the LNP win 3, ALP 2 and the Greens 1 in NSW - having the largest population but the same number of senate seats as every other state.

Someone with the handle @hotcocked (surely a DLer in spirit) tweeted that Peter Helliar was hit by a car and Aussie Twitter has run with it.

Right on so many levels

In news that will surprise no one, Joe Hockey was charmed by Steve Bannon.

I was forced to watch Nine tonight and I understand why people hate the media now. It's just gotcha moment after gotcha moment, with serious or complex issues taking a backseat.

The politicians don't want to discuss serious or complex issues because they don't to want confuse the disinterested moronic mob who are forced to vote because of Compulsory Voting.

R127 But it is only a $25 fine if a person doesn't vote and $50 if you haven't been fined before.

It is so easy to come up with excuses and avoid the fine altogether.

Why should I be penalised for choosing not to vote for oily pollies?

If you are so cheap you can't afford a trifling fine I suggest you start dealing drugs.

Minor party candidate/famewhore campaigned by going into Eastwood with a Fuck Xi Jinping sign.

Yeah, that will convince the locals.

It sounds like Albo called in a favour from his footy club’s owner on the voice-over.

Sent my informal vote into the electoral commission the other day. So easy.

R132, Huh, Rusty isn't even an Australian citizen. What a bloody joke.

R134 Most people working in the 'arts' in Australia are ALP supporters because the ALP throw more money at them.

I would imagine by now Russell Crowe has become an Australian citizen. Whatever the issue was would have been sorted out by now and god knows he spends most of his time in Australia.

If you want to see hypocrisy on a grand scale look no further than Sam Neill. Very vocal in his 'woke' views but more than happy to put his hand out for cash to support the Murdoch owned Foxtel. Surely he can't be that desperate for money.

You expect actors to be intelligent.

Kimberley Kitching banged Andrew Bolt.

The fuck is in the water in Victoria?

[quote] I would imagine by now Russell Crowe has become an Australian citizen. Whatever the issue was would have been sorted out by now and god knows he spends most of his time in Australia.

The issue was that he spent less that 90 days of the year in the country during the period of time he was applying for citizenship.

[quote]If you want to see hypocrisy on a grand scale look no further than Sam Neill. Very vocal in his 'woke' views but more than happy to put his hand out for cash to support the Murdoch owned Foxtel. Surely he can't be that desperate for money.

Advertising Foxtel doesn’t bother me any more than people taking cameos in The Simpsons or FX or Fox shows and films (prior to the Disney sale). The entertainment element was always separate from the News part of Fox.

If he were advertising SkyNews or The Oztrailian, sure, Sam Neill would be a hypocrite.

Now Scott Morrison is tackling children. Playing soccer.

So far, so normal.

I was on the train this morning when I first saw the clip (without any caption or information) on iPad of the woman sitting next to me and thought it must have been a photoshop thing. I was actually shocked at how bizarre it was and then I found out it was real. What an image - a prime minister, clumsily tackling a small child.

I hope he gets embarrassed internationally for this one (by Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, John Oliver, etc.. hell even throw in the Loose Women.).

He’s delusional. Weird. A member of a dodgy Christian cult. Poorly socialised. But he doesn’t like raising taxes, so…

Vote.

Then eat a sanger.

^ yeah very similar to a Bunnings sausage sizzle

That's friendlyjordies aka Jordan Shanks r1. No he's not gay. He did do some modeling briefly, though.

What is it with the queues at the polling stations? A friend sent a text saying he was in a long line. I went to a local school where your usually in and out in five minutes but the queue was so long I couldn't see the end of it. Stuff this I said loudly, I'd rather pay the $55 fine. I went and did some shopping and made a slight detour to where I knew another station was. Queue not so long but still took about 20 minutes. I've been on the electoral roll since 1978 and have never seen anything like this.

This menu sells “The Pauline” for $0.75 - a plain white roll.

I went to the local school, in an out in 5mins.

My local school is in a heavily Jewish area and sold kosher beef sausages and veggie skewers. They also segment of the baking stall for halal sweets.

If that’s not multicultural Australia, I don’t know what is.

[quote] If that’s not multicultural Australia, I don’t know what is.

Multicultural would’ve been Jews and Muslims jointly running a pizza-knish stand selling pork sausage as a topping.

Sold under the shade of some… Shady Pines, r150?

A record 9 million pre polled either by a postal vote or at a pre polling station.

There are also half a million people isolating due to COVID and emergency telephone voting has been implemented for them to vote.

The running of the election has been fascicle from the offset. Tom Rogers who heads the AEC should be sacked. When the election was announced he was heavily encouraging people to not vote early and vote on the day as it was a 'community event'.

Never mind there has been and still is a raging pandemic going on killing about 250 per week in a population of 26 million. The AEC had two fucking years to plan for this election and they fucked it up every step of the way.

It is not like it is May 2020 just a few short months after the pandemic - it is over two fucking years since it started.

Other options should have been available like on-line voting, etc. Just hopeless.

I predict a lower than usual turn out and the reason for that is COVID and the AEC's bad handling of the process which went out of the way to make it hard for many people to vote.

And they also reduced the number of places for Australians overseas could go to to vote.

I did a postal vote this year. Very easy to sign up for online, and they send you the envelope and everything.

Last time I went to the local school and something about the combo of sausage and old school smell was so offputting I said I would never vote in person again. My electorate was also shockingly fat (at least 90% of it).

I'm overseas and sent off my postal vote the middle of last week. R152 it ain't hard. Next time huh?

Online voting isn’t necessary. It’s an added potentiality for abuse, if anything. We have a small population. It is easy to attend a pre-polling station or to send in a postal.

[quote] fascicle

R152 farcical.

Anthony Green will call the election on Our ABC.

And joy! Dutton’s seat is in danger.

[quote] Our ABC.

The taxpayer-funded Woke ABC doesn't care about representation or impartiality any more.

Aw, lay off David Speers and Fauziah Ibrahim, r158.

Watch this show at 6pm. It looks like 'Fraggle Rock'.

The ABC's Director-General in charge of Diversity Quotas has got stringent demands on who MUST appear on ABC TV screens.

The guests are so wacky and inarticulate that the hosts can hardly keep them under control or maintain any sensible debate. ABC's Director-General in charge of Diversity Quotas demand they appear on at 6pm to fulfil the demands of the quotas because the Director-General realises they would be unacceptable on a show in peak viewing times.

The ABC should have a sports hour presented by Tony Armstrong, preferably shirtless, during prime time. Now that’s a diversity quota I can get behind.

Now hurry up, Albo!

Kenneally lost one of the ALP's safest seats. Hahahahahahahahahaha

Hope that ALP learns their lesson about parachuting inappropriate candidates into safe seat.

Kenneally is largely hated by the public and within her own party. Goodbye looser. And good riddance.

Really hope the ALP can form Government in their own right without relying on independents.

R173 Simon Birmingham is one of the last moderates left in the LNP. Most of them got wiped out by independents.

Morrison has resign as leader. He needs to resign altogether, which is a pain for the people in his seat which mean going back to the polls but he has to go. Ditto Bill Shorten who will white-ant Albo at the first opportunity.

[quote] Hope that ALP learns their lesson about parachuting inappropriate candidates into safe seat.

We can only hope and pray. Mike Bailey, former ABC weatherman, ran against Joe Hockey on North Sydney in 2007. He didn’t even live on the same side of the bridge. There was no way he stood a chance, and everyone locally hated Joe (a vile human!).

[quote] Ditto Bill Shorten who will white-ant Albo at the first opportunity

Oh man, I forgot that fucker existed

So, DL Libs - will you support Dutton as party leader?

R178 It's too early to brood over that. There's still lots of postal votes to come in and confirm seats

Dutton is nastier the Scomo I think.

Julie Bishop would have been a good liberal leader. I was shocked by her long hair don’t.

^Just saw a pic of her on twitter and you're right that hair is so ageing..

I get that she’s retired and she wants a change - female politicians can have a lank bob or a fierce Thatcherite helmet and naught in between. Jools is girly and loves her Armani and sequins and ballet and sexy boyfriend in real estate. But that’s no excuse for a rats nest.

David Panton is a straight out of central casting hunky dunk.

David Panther.

R180 Actually he is not. Scumo is sneaky as fuck and will stab you in back the first opportunity he gets.

Peter Dutton is like Paul Keating in what you see is what you get. No bullshit. He rubs people up the wrong way but that is him - no bullshit.

It is actually Peter Dutton we have to thank for gay marriage. Personally he was not in favour of - he left the chamber when the vote took place so he didn't have to vote. But he knew is was a festering sore for the Government and he came up with the idea of a plebiscite, knowing full well the people would vote YES and then it would pass through both houses of Parliament, which is what happened.

He is pragmatic and straight forward and probably won't put up with all the Christian right wing crap in the LNP. I can't see Dutton ever winning an election because he is so hated by so many people but he is what he is and he doesn't hide behind bullshit like to many others.

R181 Julie Bishop is the queen of cunt. Makes the 'mean girls' of the ALP (now down to two) look like Mother Teresa.

Prior to entering parliament she was a lawyer working for the firm that was fighting victims of asbestos poisoning from the company James Harvey (no relation to Jerry Harvey of Harvey Norman). She is not known as Asbestos Julie for nothing.
