Na just heavily invested in lithium and Tesla . Hehe

Well I’m a supporter of the trumptard Elon musk.
His the right amount of homophobic bigotism and misgoyneisticism

 

[Mr Invisible]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate all the PC brigade and lefties having a meltdown on social media like they've just been told the worlds run out of soy milk!

Funny as all fuck.

"This countries ruined"
"To everyone who caused this .. FUCK YOU"
"I'm moving to NZ"

and many many more I've seen.

I think the main reason for Labors loss was that people did not like Labor.

Fixed that for you @speedy2460

She is easy on the eye but fuck me , I felt scared watching her during the speech and today as she was next to him , the way she stared at him while he spoke was not natural

The stare was a "don't you dare fucking quite your $400,000+ a year cushy opposition leader job Bill... I need MOAR DIAMONDS!!!!!"

@AnonymousLurker I take your "Chloe Shorten creepy stare" and raise you with a Josh Frydenberg creepy stare-er.

Fuck me. Why have I never noticed that one before!
And if you think about it. To live is to be tempted by evil and potentially become evil. Earth is full of evil. I am actually mind fkd atm.
That is why Jesus always would say those who live for the world will die and those who die for him will be alive for eternity!
I can’t actully deal right now.

Bill Shorten's running technique was the most disgraceful moment in this election

I would like to applaud the community on here for keeping this topic on track and allowing us to have a civilised election thread that didn't trail off track too much.

I would also like to thank my man @Mr Invisible and the moderators for allowing this thread to unfold and not going trigger happy and nuking/locking it from the start.

Well done everyone

I'm sorry for all the times I drift a subject off topic.

Not only am I good at mind fucking people but I'm also good at changing the subject quickfast.

Omg I may have nightmares seeing that stare

And I agree , reading those twitter posts is so funny

The polls indicated a Labor whitewash. Thing to remember is that you never conduct a poll unless you know the result beforehand.
Conducting a poll in Kings Cross will always give the same result.

He really needed one of those Serena Williams Berlei Sport Bra’s.

I have about 20 of those Lefties as friends on Facebook, and while I'm not a Liberal voter, I have been having fun picking on them.

I'm still trying to figure out what the deal with is was... was she smacked out on something, or just pissed as a parrot?

Why are people crying about Australia being fucked now? Changing prime minister every 6 months didn't outrage the lunatics?

I'm glad my vote counted in the NSW state election.
It's great to have Mark Latham in parliament house talking with reason.

Now we just need to find a way to elevate him to dictator of Australia.

I'm expecting a reply to this post with some out of touch moron shit canning him.

Say what you want about Mark Latham but he is one politician who knows what it's like to do it tough.

Didn't he grow up in a shitty fibro house out west like most of us?

That's the kind of people we need calling the shots.

Not these snot nosed silver spoon wanker on the otherside of the bridge who have never broke out a sweat and bled for their money!

Got a surprise with the election victory and the only down side of the night for me was seeing a great guy like Tony Abbott losing his seat to a campaign that was run purely on hatred and trying to get rid of someone.

Given the election was basically 'all about climate change' and 1 or 2 other matters, I hope Morrison realises his mandate is now to STOP the hysteria around climate action.

Australia can not influence global temperatures and we certainly should not ruin our economy in some misguided moral attempt at doing so.

But I do think one of his key policies should be fixing the energy market in the country and determining the best source of base load power for the country for the next 50 years.

That could mean nuclear which is also a zero emissions energy source. Two birds one stone.

Economic indicators have a crash in the economy coming up in 2020/21.

Housing prices have fallen by 15% and are predicted to fall by another 15-20%.

Lowest wage growth in Australia's history (which Mathias Corrman admitted was the coalitions policy)

200% private debt levels (highest in Australia's history, mostly attributed to housing market)

We've had 28 years of economic growth EXCEPT for the last two quarters where we have shown a per capita recession, i.e. we're in recession (Q2, December quarter, was shockingly low when traditionally this has been our strongest quarter)

None of these topics we're touched on in the lead up to the election.

Labor showed a long term strategy to maintain Australia's economy and social outlook.

Coalition did not really release any policies of note, nor did they release their costings in advance enough time before the election (I believe it was minimal costing released 2 days before the election, 1 day before campaigning blackout)

Coalition has been in power for 6 years and if our economy crashes in predicted timeline, it will be 8 to 9 years, thereby negating ANY blame on Labor.

We've previously had Labor governments in 94, 2007 where they have had to managed recessions and global economic downturn. Not forgetting the stat that we've had 28 years of economic growth (which would have a commencement date of 1991).

If our economy tanks it will be put to the test if the Coalition are actually the "better" economic managers.

My jobs safe (it doesn't depend on economic activity), coalitions tax cuts would have benefited myself immensely, but I would never have voted Coalition.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Ouch... 77 seats now projected to the Liberals (5 leading on first prefs, 70 confirmed, 2 close). ALP lost Wentworth seat of Kerryn Phelps overnight to Dave Sharma.

As mentioned earlier in the thread we only rode that wave out because of the LNP boosting the economy before handing over to the ALP, thus giving them surplus money in the economy (and reduced/bugger all overseas debt) to see out the financial crisises. During the GFC however countries with large overseas debts got dragged down, whilst us (with little overseas debt), boosted.

If you're going to take that line of reasoning, then I can counter with the Hawke-Keating governments put in the necessary economic reforms for Australia to prosper in the Howard years. And many of this prosperous massing of surpluses was wasted with things like Costello selling our gold reserves for dirt cheap prices that were way below market rates because he argued that gold wasn't going to be valuable commodity in the future (he was wrong), or that to win an election Howard brought in very generous tax cuts and subsidies (like the franking credits) that have played a massive part in our inability to deliver surpluses since (but amazingly even with those cuts and subsidies, the Howard government is the highest taxing government of the past 30 years, which counters conservatives loving to say that Labor increases taxes, the actual numbers show the opposite. Both the Howard and Abbot governments were the highest taxing governments)

And then leading on to IF the Gillard (should be Rudd not Gillard) government decided to sit on their hands and not pump money into the immediate economy to stave off the consequences of the GFC (which many conservatives love to beat the Gillard government on the head for pumping that money into the economy).

 

[Mr Invisible]

It's not entirely relevant, because economics goes in ebs and flows, and is influenced by other markets. There are articles out there stating that historically both parties have balanced the economy equally, just in different ways.

People will try and swing it another way, just like the so called polls that Shorten was going to make this a close election.
