This may well be true Cat for what has transpired over the last six years from a disunity point of view.
The saddest reflection of it all is that it is impossible to punish the party, or those responsible, for the stupidity and destabilisation and their inability to unite rather than feed their own egos.
We the people now have to suffer for their stupidity and the possibility of some very good infrastructure going down the gurgler and after the LNP joke of a commission of audit there will be a duplication of the carnage in Qld.
I am trying to work out who will be the first victim of the new Howard goon squad when they bash down their door and take the sledgehammer to their hard drive.
Only to remind us of free speech LNP style of course.
Oh dear, in South Australia the ALP and the Greens have helped elect a Family First senator. Shoosh! Don’t say a word…
Top question of the morning on Facebook “So if no one voted for Abbott how did he win?? Clearly the people that did don’t use the internet” My answer to that News Limited readers.
3 Flaneur Again? This happened once before.
Last night on Facebook someone asked who voted for the idiot? Everyone denied voting for him.
I’ll not rest easy till the Ruddbot actually resigns his seat.
If Julie Bishop should read this. Please offer him a job offshore.
Any where would do. But PNG, Nauru or Syria spring to mind.

Hi there Ticksters – well what a fucking circus. Clive Palmer, Bob Katter, Abbott as PM … Can it get any worse?? Only Sophie winning the recount – which she will.
What a ride.
Thanks the gods we can have another go in about 2 years (or less with a DD)

@3 Flanners – if that’s true might have to quit
I wouldn’t sweat it Jen – it was a choice between the Libs, Xenophon and Family First. (This is with 71.36% of the vote counted).

Sports party pleasantly surprised by success in Senate count.
he Australian Sports Party, which is tipped to win a place in the Senate, concedes it has a lot to learn.
As a result of preferences, the little-known party is predicted to gain a seat in the Senate despite polling just 0.22 of a per cent of the initial vote.
Vote counting is still continuing.
Australian Sports Party senate candidate Wayne Dropulich, a former Australian grid-iron representative player, says the result has come as a pleasant surprise.

Senior Liberal Sophie Mirabella in danger …
Cathy’s margin has slipped to a lead of just 764 votes.
It’s edge of seat territory.
Sheesh! Obi had me deeply worried there for a moment.
He started off saying he was going to bomb Syria.
Then said he wasn’t until a diplomatic solution had been tried.
WHEW!
After going out to do the shopping at lunchtime today. Then arriving home to find that the AEC had found a 1000 extra votes for Cathy McGowan, sitting in a misslabeled pile in Wangaratta. 😆 😆
As my twitter feed said it so well.
“Not only is there a God. She also has a great sense of humour”.
😆 I’m still trying to imagine the unhinging that must be going on in the Mirrabella camp right now. 👿
1000 extra votes should actually get her over the line.
Congrats via proxy to Jen and all the gallant souls of Indi!
Well done Jenny and the gang. Awesome!
Paddy can we be so lucky that Jens friend will be on the scrap heap.
No doubt Jen will be quietly shedding a tear or two over her demise if it comes to pass.
Fingers crossed for now.
Gaffy This one’s for real. 😆
It really couldn’t happen to a nicer predator.
While I’d really love Jen to be the member for Indi.
The chances of Indi voting in a green are nil.
I can’t help but be impressed by her graciousness in supporting Cathy.
But by goodness it would be fun to see Jen in the senate.
Start your own loony party Jen. Then I can vote for you. 🙂
Hey there Lovelies
– what a freakin’ hoot! Sophie’s stashed votes got found :)) and Cathy is back in front. For now. The postals are favouring SM but CmcG has a pretty good buffer. Meanwhile I get to swan around as failed but nevertheless well regarded Greens candidate who somehow has become part of the story- the young McG’s have decided at I’m partof this amazing process as I was the one that took Sophie on while Cathy played nice , so despite the vote ( decimated) I’m still in it up to my eyeballs .
Much better than facing the rest of the poll nationally – although so glad Adam Bandt got reelected and Janet Rice is second Vic Greens senator . The rest is pretty much crap…
Antony Green’s just called it for the forces of lightness Jen.
I for one, welcome our new Sophie concession speeches. HAHAHAH
Well done Jen it is obvious that lots of former green voters have gone with Cathy M and now having got rid of the Lady of the Backyard Sheds they may return to the fold next election.
All in all a brilliant result for Indi
Utterly brilliant.
Damn near wet myself watching this.

“There are lots of good women knocking on the door of the outer ministry and lots of women knocking on the door of Cabinet,” he said
And he slammed it shut in their faces.
Why is anyone surprised ???
Also good to see sport gets a ministry but science doesn’t.
FFS.
We get the government we deserve. But surely we didn’t deserve this bunch of complete idiots .
It does make me wonder how these good women are, though.
I am glad Marise Payne got a promotion – she is a good senator.
Nash and Cash are okay, even though I completely disagree with them on most things.
But where exactly are the talented women in the coalition? Julie Bishop is most certainly not talented.
I would also pose the question as to where the talented men in the coalition are. Turnbull, Sinodinos, Robb, Scullion, Johnston and Cormann are probably the best (in terms of smarts and hard work) of a bad bunch. And I do not mind Senator Mason, I suppose. But who else is there?

Can’t argue – having just witnessed the removal of one of our most toxic politicians the fact that she was a woman was irrelevant .
And have been invited to Cathy’s celebration …( it’s in the bag but not official apparently ) . Sisterhood can exist in politics
Well done Jen and all your and Cathy McGowan supporters. Brought a lot of sunshine on an otherwise rather cloudy few days.
Well done Jen. You’ve taken the high road this election.
May the force be with you. 🙂
We need to help Jen more than ever now.

ALL the links in the above articles HAVE to be shared by Twitter Facebook Google Plus and more if we are to defeat/bring down the News Limited. It must be done quickly to have any effect on the next election. If you stand by and expect everyone else to do it. YOU will let Murdoch and Abbott win again!!!!
Here’s a little trick to upset Rupert Murdoch. When linking to an article in a non Murdoch paper. Such as the Age, The Huffinton Post or the Guardian. Here’s how to link. Make sure you put these words in the link at the end of the description. “news not limited”. Anyone search for News Limited articles will have that article show up in some results. There’s not a thing he can do about it. 🙂 It will take quite a while to take effect.
Another link you must pass around. Tweet, Facebook, blog or link to by any means.

Chris
The day has arrived where Ruperts Myrmidons will be held to account and hopefully he will have to answer to the FCPA in the US.
Both Brooks and Coulson have been charged with “conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office” and Rupert brazenly stood before them all one day and told the world that they have been paying the london police for information.
To my mind that would be expert witness information to convict them both and ensure that he will get a visit from the FCPA.
The dirty little digger is already in negotiations with the FCPA trying to bail himself out of the shit.
I sure hope the FCPA is awaiting a sure outcome from the trials and will act accordingly and i hope the bastard does time over it.
