Excitement builds as things look blacker and blacker for Labor self destructing in its cloud of Socialist stupidity.



Coalition MPs mull two elections in 2019
AAP Updated 11 mins ago

Australians could vote in two federal elections next year, under a radical option being canvassed by some government MPs.

Voters could go to the polls in two federal elections next year under a radical proposal that could buy the Morrison government more time to win back support.

A general election in May remains the most likely scenario.

But some coalition MPs are open to holding a Senate election early in 2019 and a separate election for the House of Representatives several months later, Fairfax Media reported on Tuesday.

However, others have dismissed the dual election idea, with one government source telling Nine Network it was "fanciful".

Still waiting for the Victorian state election first.  When the people of Victoria elect Labor Premier Andrews for a second term, on November 24.   

My Goodness, the reclusive inarticulate union propaganda parrot Blackday has furtively poked the head out to squawk something unintelligible and quickly return to the safety of the DARK SIDE.

And the Big Mac with Coke and Fries just does the usual HATE stuff.

And the Polly Waffle VIRUS strikes again with more Fake News - his speciality as that is all his weak mind can muster.

Otherwise a complete non-event by the insignificant Lefties.

And the ludicrous Socialist Greeny controlled Labor lunatics want to RESTART the BOATS and flood Australia with dangerous Black African Terrorists when everyone else is saying REDUCE LEGAL IMMIGRATION.

And the Greeny controlled Labor lunatics want to bring back the CARBON TAX to increase power prices by 5 to 6 times!!!!!

From the looks of juliar's news, there's yet again more internal conflicts within the coalition ranks over elections.  They still haven't learnt to provide a united front?

Just when you thought the stupid bar couldn't be set any lower....

Greggy the Village Idiot troll VIRUS with the mind of a neurotic child strikes again with more childish stupidity. That's all the poor dumb coot can manage. Rumor he was banned from Aussie Politics.

This is political ineptness at it very worst.

A half Senate election would be a repeat of the Wentworth by-election in Senate and a decimation of Coalition numbers. Half-Senate elections have traditionally been seen as giant by-elections. Having a half-Senate election when the government is coming off a 19 percent swing in a by-election would be insane. It would see the Coalition lose up to six Senators, Labor could gain as many, and it would hand Labor the whip hand. It would give Labor the moral right to block most legislation in the Senate because the government no longer has any mandate. Labor would be looking very good for control of the Senate in 2022, needing only the support of the Greens to pass legislation.

This is a very dangerous option for a minority government because the six crossbenchers would be likely to support a no confidence motion. Some government MPs on small margins would get referred off to the High Court. Dutton in particular is very vulnerable. Once one goes, more would follow in quick succession. A High Court challenge may not be heard in time for any by-elections to be held before May, but if the government decides to be reckless in this way, by-elections for up to six government MPs become live options. Except by-elections wouldn't be held; the government would lose control on the House in a vote of no confidence and off to a general election we would go.

If Morrison has any brains at all, he would know his government is doomed and call a half Senate and House election when due. It won't be pleasant, but it would save the furniture because the polls would be around 47-53. Self destructing and then having an election forced by a vote of no confidence when the polls are 44-56 or worse would be far more devastating.

Who are the GMods these days? This post is clearly against the forum rules for making personal attacks and this kind of posting misconduct should be reported.

Make personal attacks against me, including telling scurrilous lies, and you can say goodbye to your posting rights. You've just made a huge mistake, mister.

LOL
The COALition still don't geddit  ... they are toast no matter when or how many elections are held next year.

The truth is Scummo wouldn't know what day it is and is continualy backflipping so nobody really cares what he says, except for yourself fool.

Capt N,

A voice of reason amongst the nervous confusion.

ScoMo is well aware of the changing nature of the inner city electorates like Wentworth where people are well off and live in a separate world where Global warming etc is "believed".

But ScoMo is getting out away from the city where the REAL people live and are not so well off and are concerned about running a business and paying exorbitant power prices.

The immigration issue is big business for ScoMo who can make a killing here by pointing out that the Greenies+Labor will RESTART the BOATS and bring thousands of illegal invaders into Australia.

And what about Labor wrecking the housing market ?

And what about Labor robbing the pensioners with the investment attacks ?

And what about Shorty restarting the CARBON TAX and increasing power prices by 5 to 6 times ?????

ScoMo knows Shorty hangs his hat on health paid for with more borrowing.

And Labor has made the mistake of displaying their unfunded Socialist stupidity:- https://www.themandarin.com.au/99632-alp-jumps-the-gun-first-major-party-release...

I sincerely hoped (though this has been KO by the PM) that coalition government will go ahead with the 2 elections.  seems like coalition supporters don't realise the stupidity of it.

Why do you ignore the Coalition's cuts to age pensions that have slugged pensioners for similar amounts?

The Coalition specifically promised no change to pensions, then rolled out cuts to pensions in nearly every Budget.

At least Labor's made clear their policy ahead of time. The Coalition didn't. The Coalition cannot be trusted.

Captain Nemo wrote on Nov 7^th, 2018 at 9:56am:

Tax breaks for self-funded retirees cost the Budget more than it would cost to pay them the aged pension. It's ludicrous that some wealthy people can have six-figure incomes in retirement without paying tax just for being retired. They still use services. Why shouldn't they be making a contribution? Working people cannot afford to subsidise such a large cohort of non-taxpayers.

Meanwhile, the huge amounts of paperwork for means tests for the aged pension require some people to wait as long as ten months before getting the aged pension. The system has become quite unwieldy and is on the verge of collapse.

It would be better to scrap the means tests for the aged pension entirely and pay for it by scraping the tax breaks for self funded retirees. The aged pension would be an adequate replacement for the tax breaks because it's not taxable income and it comes with useful concessions.

A person on a six figure income would be paying tax.

Anyone who earns over $21,000 will pay income tax.

MiniMind starts another Lefty fantasy to try to build up their sinking spirits.

The 2 elections could very well occur if it seems the way to go to thoroughly discredit Labor. Which is not very difficult.

No doubt Mark Latham will be advising ScoMo.

Call me whatever names you want Juliar, all the polls at present indicate that the Liberals are behind Labor by significant margins. Based on these numbers, it's logical to assume the Liberals will lose a significant number of seats at the next election, unless they enact policies that gain overwhelming support. It's naive to think that Morrison's tour of the country by itself can turn around the fortunes of the Liberals, it's delusional to think that this tour plus the proposed split house election will result in a slaughter of Labor and the Greens.

The Polly Waffle VIRUS strikes again with more Fake News - his speciality as that is all his weak mind can muster.

Poor little Bammy reaches for the stars as Labor crumbles.

Wonder if they will use the 2 election trick?  Probably no need as the next 6 months will see such a swing against the evil union controlled Labor Socialists who want to reduce Australia to ashes just like they did before.



Shorty sleeps on the job

It was yet another opportunity for the public to condemn both the state lib opposition and fed libs when they attend someone's funeral for political gain.

For Fed libs to win, they have to first deal with the conservative/reactionaries/right wing and the moderates.  As for the state libs, they have to stop associating with mobsters, simplistic slogans and racist remarks.  Even then, they will have to wait for state lab to stumble and implode just like fed coalition.

Here's what would happen if they were to try it: a replication of Wentworth's 19% swing in every Senate contest in the country. It would be seen as an opportunity to make an almighty protest vote.

Here's what could happen to the Coalition if they were to have a 19% swing (refactored as the Coalition losing 1/3 of their primary vote as happened in Wentworth):
NSW: Coalition 24% (1.68 quotas) - 2 Senators up for re-election
Vic: Coalition 22% (1.54 quotas) - 2 Senators up for re-election
Qld: Coalition 23.5% (1.65 quotas) - 2 Senators up for re-election
WA: Coalition 26% (1.82 quotas) - 2 Senators up for re-election
SA: Coalition 22% (1.54 quotas) - 3 Senators up for re-election
Tas: Coalition 22% (1.54 quotas) - 2 Senators up for re-election

The Coalition have two Senators up for re-election in every state (three in SA). If they were to try the Senate-only election, it would be a very risky strategy where they have nothing to gain and they could lose up to seven Senators. A loss of three or four Senators would be likely. Labor would gain perhaps half of these extra Senators with the rest going to various other parties.

Following the usual convention of holding the elections together would be a much more sensible strategy. The Coalition would make two quotas in every state. At worst, they would go close enough to two quotas and get enough on preferences to get their second candidate elected.

Red B, relax ScoMo is burying Scungy little Shorty in his own dung.

ScoMo has so much dirt to throw at Shorty he doesn't know where to start.

And now the Good Guys answer to the slimy GetUp! will accelerate the dirt throwing.

Shorty is trying anything to escape the ScoMo dirt avalanche and his ludicrous Corruption Watch Dog is a good example.

Poor little Bammy is trying but is fighting a losing battle.

Yes, there is the mood for change. Federal change.
