Mark Latham back from the wilderness after 14 years.

Odd political transformation.

[Meclazine for Israel]

One Nation isn't going anywhere in a hurry, up or down.

The real interest will be in right wing style Fraser Annings suddenly appearing in the Senate after the next election.

Hard to gauge what effect the egg attack will have.

[Meclazine for Israel]

For Pauline, all news is good news.

Her followers are very loyal.

What effect has the budget had on Liberals chances in the Federal Election.

[Meclazine for Israel]

The government were looking at the 25th May as a possible date which would have squeezed the Senate timetable to five weeks: but an extra week doesn't usually get you much.

Morrison was apparently hoping to delay the election as long as possible to wait for the polls to I prove. Problem with that is there was no way they were going to improve.

There goes the neighbourhood........from a property price sense.

I feel more educated about the Federal Election now after watching this:

Slavery sounds fair.

In other news, Melissa Parke withdraws from the Federal Election after some story that has offended the Jewish population.

The BEST POLITICAL AD EVER!

Clive Palmer has to be given credit for introducing real Australia to the TV screen.

The BEST POLITICAL AD EVER!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE04mSSWXlI

Clive Palmer has to be given credit for introducing real Australia to the TV screen.

Actually its one in a series of three:

"Dave the Builder reveals the truth (part 1)"

"Dave the Builder reveals the truth (part 2)"

"Dave the Builder reveals the truth (part 3)"

All Classics!

Lol! I stand corrected.

Dave the Builder for PM.

Senator Fraser Anning has revealed his strategy for the upcoming Federal election.

There's a few interesting phrases.

Australia “as an English speaking, predominantly European Christian Commonwealth, as originally described in 1901 when Australia as a nation was founded”.

Drama.

Scuffle breaks out at Fraser Anning's press conference:

Press Conference:

"We might found that one of our candidates is an axe murderer, we cannot check everyone"

What a political statement for a Federal Election.

Now when I checked my 16yo sons Instagram account, I noticed him following Senator Anning.

Lucky he is not old enough to vote yet.

First debate between Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten in the Australian Federal Election.

James Weir from news.com.au summed it up beautifully.

"The real winners of last night’s debate between Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten were the people who decided to watch something else.

We would have gone with the second half of Antiques Roadshow on Gem or, at a pinch, the footage of One Nation luminary Steve Dickson enjoying some “titty” at a strip club on A Current Affair."



Steve Dickson had to resign after footage emerged of him in a Washington DC nightclub saying the words:

"I think white women f**k a whole lot better, they know what they're doing. Asian chicks don't.

"I've done more Asian than I know what to do with."

"You need to slide your hand on my ****," he says to a dancer.

"Right now?" she asks.

But then he had to answer to Pauline Hanson, leader of One Nation, who is currently on national TV news in a live feed from her farm where she is getting more angry than her hair colour.

Pauline Hanson replies to the allegations, the innuendo, the drama, the strip clubs, the NRA money and the Al Jazeera strip club tapes.

The crescendo of pain is reached as Pauline gets teared up explaining her life, her troubles.

The toll that political life has taken from her is obvious on her face.

You could cut the tension with a knife.

The most emotional political interview in Australian history.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison hit with an egg, but it did not crack, bouncing off his skull.

Liberals final advertisement before the election this weekend:

Liberals with a strong showing in QLD and WA.

Things looking up for ScoMo and Clive Palmer.

Liberals only need 3 more seats and are ahead in 3 electorates in WA.

Unless my maths is wrong, Liberals are back in.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Very disappointed Tanya Plibersek did not go for the leadership.

I would have voted for her in the election. But Bill Shorten repulsed me on all levels.

Israel Folau, a world famous Rugby Union player was recently sacked for making homophobic comments on his Instagram page.

He then promised Rugby Australia who would take them to the Supreme Court for Unfair Dismissal. After raising $750,000 in 4 days, GoFundMe stopped his page, and disabled it.

Now he is up to $1.5M on his new religious Funding site:

That took him 1 day.
