Just when you thought the government’s mind-blowingly
ridiculous reaction to the Labor Party’s electric vehicle plan1,2 couldn’t get any worse, Senator Michaelia Cash
has momentarily stepped out from behind her whiteboard to add to the idiocy. She
was reported as saying: “50 per cent of
these apprentices will be driving an electric vehicle under Bill Shorten … we
are going to stand by our tradies and we are going to save their utes”3.
The galloping
stupidity of the Liberal Party has been highlighted by the ludicrous response
to the Labor Party’s plan to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles. Let’s
go back to the start, some time before the Labor Party suggested it had such a
plan. In January, 2018, Josh Frydenberg listed a few technological advances
which have appeared in the last few years and stated that “there is another
Unfortunately, money is crucial to success
in elections and this coming election is no different. The money raised by

down in history as the first PM to lose a vote (for the Medevac bill) on the
floor of the House of Representatives for many decades, he tried to convince
that electorate that it was necessary to open up the detention centre on
Christmas Island. This was despite the security services telling him that this

Murdoch ‘ruperters’
are looking even more ridiculous as they go to extraordinary lengths to follow
the diktats of their owner and attempt to support the unsupportable; the
Morrison government. I only see the occasional idiocy from these poor buffoons when
they venture out from behind their paywall into the real world. That is because
I refuse to pay for the rubbish they dish up. One of the funniest I have heard
The Liberal Party have
put out an apparent campaign clip1 which begins with Julia Gillard extolling the likely
virtues of Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten, as prime minister, where she
says “I think he’s going to be terrific”. This transitions into a clip of
Shorten side by side with Arnold Schwarzenegger at a Run for the Kids event
from early 20182, The caption indicates that Shorten says: “I’m
Julie Bishop announced her retirement from parliament a few days ago and blew through from the chamber before she was forced to suffer the drivel uttered by Prime Minister Scott Morrison in ‘tribute’ to her career. After departing, she said it was important that local branch members, rather than party powerbrokers be allowed to decide who would replace her as the candidate for the seat of Curtin in the next federal election.
