The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

Sky now making claim Anning was told all along to make a ridic controversial speech and "fucking not back down" from it afterward.

heaven forfend he should be expected to fucking own his actions

Fuck me it just gets worse. 10 Queensland knuckle draggers run the country. At least we know the libs have given up on taking back the Victorian parliament.

imagine spending your life in fear that a bunch of people think peter dutton is more likeable than you

agitating for the very unpopular and very bigoted dutton is proof they don’t give a single fuck about australians

everything about this government is just so incredibly depressing

the coalition of the IPA and the right wing arseholes

nobody gives a shit apart from the six writers into 'The Australian' but they'll still collect a buttload of votes from dickheads on 'no brown people' and 'bill shorten is a communist'

new zealand derides the fuck out of us now, we're a total laughing stock

God, I made the mistake of thinking Australia could not have a more depressing prime minister than D Trump. O hai Potato Dutton.

i mean we only just had tony abbott, a man so fucking dumb he knighted the queen’s husband

The clowns were chanting for coal at a presser to discuss the drought, they have no shame.

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHH

xp “captain’s call” as I recall it ffs

STOKED FOR THE MADNESS

at this point we may as well replace parliament with a sensible series of non-binding postal opinion polls, the results are turning out better.

otm, they hate postal surveys because the single one they did went totally against their interests

Hey Libs, hows that stable government you were always hooting about having eh?

Eh?

every time i come back to australia something massively shit happens

21st century coalition: shit at economics and crippled by internecine power struggles, yet they still project these qualities on their opponents

the weirdest of the semi-sentient fascist potato's weird tweets are a fun read (helpfully collated here in case he has blocked you on twitter, which he has done to me): http://junkee.com/peter-dutton-tweets/172285

he is fucking creepy

the libs do attract a certain demographic

I like children (their livers taste delicious)

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

I DON'T KNOW

remember when beige curtain was going to be out on his arse

life was very different a few weeks ago

I am already looking forward to Albo turfingout shorten in 18 months time.

labor changes their party rules, difficult as hell for them to change leaders now

*changed

Albo seems to be aware that he is not the charismatic leader that a federal party needs

not that this has stopped Labor in the past, forcing Beazley to the top twice despite his repeated insistence that he didn't want the job and was not the man for it

What do you mean, , ‘not charismatic’?

I'm trying to find that clip where he drew on the whiteboard and said "RAIL, BABY!" but cant.

fuck me dead

why are we always at an airport/on a plane when politics goes troppo

xp I don't think this is exactly it, but bless.

this savage fucking piece of shit

but at least it’s someone abbott and murdoch hate

would you rather be shat on from a great height or at close range

Matt yeah thats the one!

would you rather be shat on from a great height or at close range

perfect, absolutely perfect

all-time best metaphor

australia, this morning
