Angus Taylor resigns from Liberal frontbench ahead of expected leadership spill
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-11/federal-politics-estimates-albanese-ley-herzog/106328310
Ot appears Angus Taylor's handlers have convinced him that he has the numbers to shiv Susssan Ley.
My opinion is that Angus Taylor doesn't have a strong enough grasp of mathematics to do the sums for himself โ because if he did, he'd be more cautious.
One wonders if Angus Taylor has been taking advice from the same innumerate people who set-up Peter Dutton for his failed spill against Malcolm Turnbull in August 2018 that handed the party leadership and position of Prime Minister to Scott Morrison.

Tony Abbott intervenes in Liberal leadership battle calling on right to unite to oust Sussan Ley
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-28/tony-abbott-calls-on-conservatives-to-unite-and-oust-sussan-ley-/106278112
It hurts me to say this, but: Susssan Ley is right. She's recognised that if the Liberal Party is to survive, to present itself as a credible Opposition, and have more than just a dream of winning an election in the next decade, it needs to be overhauled.
Susssan Ley has a mountain of work ahead of her if she's trying to reform and modernise the Liberal Party. This comes after years that cannot be swept under the carpet, and memories that stretch back so far in people's minds that we have a clear picture of what is "normal" for the Liberal Party. Some people like Tony Abbott want that "tradition" that he was part of and benefited from to persist, and for the rest of us to forget the aspects that were terrible for most people in Australia.
But, who can forget the lies and racism and RWNJ extremism resembling Nazism of the Malignant Potato Peter Dutton, the lies and racism and self-serving religious quackery of the Liar from the Shire Scott Morrison, the lies and racism and outrageous sexism and anti-intellectualism and cruelty disguised as boofheadedness of The Mad Monk Tony Abbott, the lies and racism and nonsensical neo-con ideology of Malcolm Turnbull, and the lies and racism and mean-spirited divide-and-conquer class-warfare of John Howard?

A response to universal condemnation by academics of #Go8 signatures on the #BCAS letter opposing the #EPBC legislation is telling us where their priorities lieโ
โThe Group of Eight (Go8) says it is committed to protecting the environment but wants to simplify infrastructure projects at universities.โ
Since when is a Universityโs job to biuld infrastructure, where in a universityโs core business does infrastructure projects some in? I guess that is what happens when neoliberals get into the #Education space, as #ScottyFromMarketing did with his inane #JodReadyGraduate idea. The Go8 is only pilling some more non-education baggage onto the #TertiaryEducation sector which can ill afford it.

Peter Dutton has lost. No federal opposition leader has ever lost their seat at an election...until now. Ali France won the seat of Dickson. This has to be up there with the time Scott Morrison lost his own seat of Wentworth.
The LNP is on track to receive the lowest primary vote in the history of the Coalition. Well done, Dutton.

GP visits to become free for most under $8.5b 'legacy defining' Labor Medicare promise
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-22/labor-medicare-promise-to-make-gp-visits-free-for-most/104969694
Anthony Albanese says he'll make 90% of GP visits free from out-of-pocket expenses by 2030. This is a bargain for the government with a price-tag of only $8.5 billion. It's also a strong, traditional Labor policy for social services.
I'd like to think this is a sign that Albo is getting back to his roots, and announcing policies that will get the approval of the Greens and other left-leaning parties. It's also laying the groundwork for another "Mediscare" campaign in anticipation of Peter Dutton's toxic bullshit.
Boosting funding for bulk-billing will have massive flow-on effects for the general wellbeing of Australians: quality of life, ability to function in school and at work, and therefore a long-term payback for the economy. Anyone arguing against this policy has a deep-seated ideological hatred for "poor people" and knows nothing about the economy โ I'm looking at you, Peter Dutton.
Details I'd like to hear more about:
- Mental health care funding got a boost, so it's good to see the government taking this neglected area more seriously.
- Dental health care was not mentioned, and it absolutely needs to be covered by Medicare. Teeth are a vital part of your body that require life-long care and shouldn't be at the mercy of private health insurance.
- GPs got screwed by Scott Morrison when he made a bunch of massive cuts to Medicare. The government will need to coordinate with GPs to make sure they get fair compensation for their work.
- Peter Dutton having a sook, and rolling-out that tired old lie about Labor being wasteful with money.

Grace Tame wears anti-Murdoch shirt to prime ministerโs Australian of the Year morning tea

Grace Tame is making a strong public statement again. This time, while meeting with Anthony Albanese, she's taking a stand against Rupert Murdoch and the poisonous influence of his NewsCorp media empire. It's a timely reminder of Grace Tame's powerful side-eye at Scott Morrison in 2022.

Dutton on the march in Victoria, say Liberals, with four seats in sight
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/dutton-on-the-march-in-victoria-say-liberals-with-four-seats-in-sight-20240916-p5katq.html
The Malignant Potato is optimistic, to put it politely, if he thinks he can gain four seats in Victoria.
The LNP lost four seats in Victoria in the 2022 Australian federal election thanks to Scott Morrison's appalling run as PM. To put it another way, they won only 11 of the Federal seats in Victoria. Part of this was due to divisions created by Peter Dutton because he wanted to be leader.
If Dutton thinks he can win back all four seats lost by Scotty From Marketing, he's dreaming. He's so out of touch with reality that he doesn't have a clue how hated he is in Victoria. That stench isn't going away any time soon, so those seats aren't coming back any time soon.
Additionally, the Greens are improving their stance in the community, and the Teals are cementing their reputation as moderates who can co-operate to get things done. Neither the Greens nor the Teals are going to give ground to the LNP; if anything, they're going to take more. Last election, they beat the sitting LNP Treasurer, Joshua Freudenberg, and I hope they score more from LNP "safe seats" in the next election.
On top of all that, if Dutton thinks the Victorian Liberal Party can help his image, he's in for a surprise. The Victorian Liberal Party's performance in the last state election was even worse than the Federal Liberal Party's performance. Since then, things have declined so far that the Victorian Liberal Party's RWNJ faction is being sued by the Victorian Liberal Party's openly Nazi faction.

Fuck it #ALP, I have tried, really tried, to keep from criticising you lot. I am still hugely grateful for you being less crap than #ScottyFromMarketing, but, but ... it has been TWO YEARS now. How long are you going to sit on your hands staring uselessly at the levers?
There are some very very easy things you can do. The #Greens and #Independents give you all the power you need. Some ideas, you dumbfucks...
End:
- private school funding,
- fossil fuel subsidies,
- gambling adverts,
- religious exemptions to laws,
- negative gearing and
- #BorderForce
None of these require more than a few minutes work. Call Adam Bandt and a few Independents - you can have these done this week.
After that, have a go at some real work:
- Tax Carbon, systematically growing, until it bites #Santos hard enough to leave the country. Kick their arses on the way out.
Then (again, rock solid Greens and Independent support for these things. They'll take longer, but we have done *all* of them before):
- Kill The Job Network and rebuild CES,
- create a Public Housing Construction Commission
- implement all the Disability RC findings,
- implement all the RoboDebt RC findings and
- create a Public Retail Bank.
What in all the everliving fucks are you doing back there behind the curtain? Tell me you didn't take 'wanking on desks' as a Mission Statement?
After Candid Self-Reflection, Liberal Strategists Say Best Person to Replace Rejected Kooyong MP Josh Frydenberg Is โฆ Josh Frydenberg
https://theshovel.com.au/2024/06/03/liberal-strategists-say-best-person-to-replace-rejected-kooyong-mp-josh-frydenberg/
Another kerb-kicker from @theshovel.
In all seriousness, this it a trial-balloon being sent-up to test people's opinions. This kerfuffle shows how divided the Liberal Party are. Factional infighting presents party members with two choices:
- Sexist, racist, old-boys-club, RWNJ wing.
- Old-school Conservative, generational privilege wing.
Those calling for Josh Frydenberg to replace Amelia Hamer as the Liberal candidate for Kooyong think it's okay to break their own party's preselection process, and are harkening-back to the "Good ol' days" of Scott Morrison. They've forgotten that Josh Frydenberg was one of the worst Federal Treasurers in living memory under the leadership of ScottyFromMarketing.
Those calling for Amelia Hamer haven't heard her say a word about policy, but they like her posh Oxford-educated credentials and good family-name. She gets to ride on the coat-tails of her grandfather, Rupert Hamer, the Premier of Victoria from 1972 to 1981.
Neither group is in touch with reality. Dr Monique Ryan won the seat of Kooyong in 2022 with a 2.9 per cent margin. The seat of Kooyong has been considered a safe Liberal seat for generations. It's why it's given to people in important roles such as Treasurer. Monique Ryan beat Josh Frydenberg because he's a fucking idiot and nobody liked his bootlicking of ScottyFromMarketing.

When asked for comment, event organiser Scott Morrison said the cancellation would affect the caterer, Scott Morrison, the chef, Scott Morrison, the MC, Scott Morrison, and the band members, Scott Morrison, Scott Morrison, Scott Morrison, and Scott Morrison.
Scott Morrison couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery. His big send-off party for quitting politics is a flop because nobody likes him, and all sides of politics can't wait to see him gone. Scott Morrison's career in politics is nothing to celebrate.

Also, it is more-than-slightly fitting that this story should appear on the day of #ScottyFromMarketing's valedictory speech.
@s_palm I reckon David Rowe is flattering #ScottyFromMarketing with such toned glutes. Pretty sure his arse is flabbier than that!
Plenty of little reminders of media stunts past, though. ๐
@kentparkstreet1 Will they publish an anti-festschrift, too? Perhaps a series from people whose lives have been irreparably harmed by #ScottyFromMarketing?
@MacPherson I find myself also praying for a great miracle, yet there's #ScottyFromMarketing in my news feed still/again.
Starting to suspect that God does not exist TBH.
A modest proposal for how to deal with Scott Morrison if he's seen in public in Australia ever again:

I wonder what will be the appropriate length of time before the Liberals start utilising Scott in election campaigns? I donโt remember when they started to bring out the Ghost of electoral doom Howard after the shellacking in 2007โฆ.
@trent Absolutely!
Does this mean #ScottyFromMarketing has given up waiting for a lucrative consulting or director gig to be dropped in his lap?

Ah. Someone in the Liberal party leaked #ScottyFromMarketing's plan to resign - stealing his thunder. What a nice set of knuckleheads they are. Lovely bunch.
Lovely.
Yes, that's a describing word.
Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison to end 16-year Low-point in Career and Quit an Undisclosed Number of Ministerial Portfolios
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-23/scott-morrison-to-resign-from-politics/101277260
It's a mystery why Scotty From Marketing didn't resign from politics on the evening or the morning after he lost the 2022 Federal election. Some have speculated that he hung around like a bad smell to piss-off Peter Dutton (I have to admit, I'd give the idea serious consideration), or that he would attempt a comeback spill. I think the reality is that he wanted to maintain his political profile internationally and keep collecting Parliamentary perks while trying to line-up a new job in corporate life. But, this never eventuated. It's traditional for ex-politicians, especially ex-LNP-politicians to benefit from nepotism and be handed positions on one or more company boards. But, Scotty has no friends.
