well, if it wasn't a particularly large problem before, it's about to be now

now it seems as thoough scomo will challenge dutton. goodness me we really are spoiled for choice!

ScoMo vs Dutton. Never did I envisage the day when ScoMo might seem the best candidate

Oh why wont Alan Jones just die of a heart attack already.

69 to 68 against referring Dutton’s eligibility to the high court, Trumble cast the deciding vote

fuck me, i guess I may as well just burn both passports, really lucked out with the US and Aus

so who thinks Dutton will call an election in two months, wait until May, or piss off everyone and push it until November 2019?

I voted in SF in 2013, let’s meet at the embassy and have a 13-hour FAP afterward Veg

parliamentary citizenship fiasco revealed that I’m probably an NZ citizen, gotta go to LA to check at their embassy before the midterms

if Ludlam’s dad’s immigration made him a dual citizen, mine should have

Here's what I don't understand - why did those 3 senators rock up to the press yesterday and resign on the grounds that "Turnbull no longer has the numbers", and yet the spill motion result was 45-40 - meaning Turnbull would've had the numbers to block the spill, but for those 3 senators?

ScoMo's LNP I presume - well, I shouldn't, but I hope, I guess - will lose the election, which will probably mean that Dutton, Abbott & their cronies will start to say that the election would've been winnable had the LNP pandered further to racists under Sgt Dutton. I suppose it's still a better outcome than Dutton as PM now, but when "catastrophic mess resulting in bigoted moron becoming PM" still works out to be the preferred option then its hard to feel any relief.

Also fuck turnbull forever for so many reasons but especially the way he's going to claim marriage equality as his great legacy. He did everything he could to slow down that change and protect himself, and put hundreds of thousands of people (me included) through hell in the process.
