I eagerly anticipate criminal charges against him, sco-mo's inability to take up that lucrative job he picked up, and his reputation/record/legacy to be one of ineptitude, failure, and shame. While I was disappointed he didn't face the same demise as Howard, this has the potential to be pretty good.
I assume they’ll keep their pensions.
 
And don't let the door hit you on the way out you stupid prick.

The move to open nominations for all Liberal-held seats will renew speculation about Mr Morrison’s own electorate of Cook.

The former PM was widely tipped to quit politics before the election but the Liberal Party is also concerned about the cost and expense of a by-election in a safe Liberal seat.

Everyone wants him to piss off. But people don’t want a by-election,’’ a senior Liberal source told news.com.au.

Havent looked at The Age in a while, was a bit surprised at how quick it morphed post Fairfax to be a Herald Sun without the Harvy Norman ads... Its not even remotely subtle about its partisanship these days :(

The Nine-Fairfax merger was the hastening of the end for The Age sadly. They are still capable of producing some good work (ie the SASR investigation) but it's few and far between. Most of what they now churn out really does reek of a direction imposed by Peter Costello

Dude, I hate to burst your bubble there, but The Age runs humongous Hardly Normal ads all the time. The Age is more or less - mostly more -
another sewerage outlet for the LNP. :(
 
For those that haven't found it yet.
It doesn't just give the news, it also says what other outlets are covering the story and what their leanings are.
edited to fix my their before @moorey found it.

Yessssss


The dodgy way this was all bulldozed through, despite massive opposition was sickening.

So glad to see the court send a clear message to lying, scheming, scumbag pollies with their noses deep in the trough.
 
I’m still trying to work out why everyone is so revved up about it at all… I’m struggling to care either way.

It’s probably not going to do indigenous people any more good than all the other government programs etc, and it’s also not going to topple democracy. So if it makes the indigenous people feel better, knock your socks off I guess.
 
I despair of this referendum. So much misinformation and outright lies. A mate of one of my sons is telling people they should vote no because you can't climb Uluru anymore. Huh?
From what I've seen the No Campaign has gone full Steve Bannon with just flooding the zone with shit to try and muddy the waters and confuse the electorate. Much like they did when barracking against marriage equality (and have a look at some of the old arguments for that if you want a laugh, not exactly foreshadowing).
