Well, they dropped the hammer on Sussan Ley’s nine-month leadership, with two-thirds of her colleagues either thrusting or twisting the knife. She promptly quit public life, leaving an empty seat that will be filled with whoever One Nation shoehorn into the seat.
Hmmm. I wonder if Barnaby’s free? Or, more likely, he’ll contest his current seat as a One Nation member and romp home.
I’ve said it before, Barnaby may be stupid, but he’s not stoo-pid.
At least Angus Taylor didn’t pick Jacinta “Make America Great Again” Price as his Deputy.
Instead, the straight-talking Jane Hume gets the job in a grateful nod to all the moderates who publicly supported Ley then privately put her to the axe.
Nice one Jane.
But I’ll be calling the new Coalition “Strikeforce Garrad” until I’m persuaded that the NSW Police Force were wrong.
If that seems cryptic, read my earlier post where I predicted — pauses to yawn — that this would happen.
But it isn’t Angus Taylor’s forgettable acceptance speech trending on the interwebz. Going bacterial is Pauline Hanson’s reaction to the spill: “different jockey, same dead horse”.
Ouch.
Then again, barely a week after rabidly screeching for Grace Tame’s head because of that “intifada” nonsense, Hanson is herself under investigation for comments on Sky News that there are “no good Muslims”.
Ouch.
But who gives a shit about the antics of small-fry Australian wannabes, let them all burn.
The big news today (other than the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) is the declassification of US government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)!
Finally!
That’s Andy, not an alien.
If he looks a little like somebody who was abducted and rudely probed it’s because he was. The nonce formerly known as Prince needs a stiffener after his ordeal with the constabulary.
But, ALIENS!
Oh yes. You betcha I’ll be following this story. If there’s even a skerrick of information confirming extraterrestrial life, it will be the biggest new story in the history of the human race.
But let’s not put our eggs before the cart after the horse has bolted.
For now, it’s enough that we Australians all say together “Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus!”
