If it's picked up and reported widely, that's probably like Lou Richards' old "Kiss of Death" selection in The Sun on Saturday morning.

Neither Frydenberg or Dutton will challenge now, Morrison will be PM going into the election. If he loses he'll resign then comes the leadership battle.

Looking forward to seeing a half cut Jacqui Lambie celebrating another win on election night.

Any interesting policies yet, or is it another small target campaign?

[stui magpie]

Nothing yet, it's the battle of the un-electable v the un-electable.

It doesn't matter who wins, it will just be more of the same.

Nah, I see her as a loudmouth idiot.

I'll give you that, but she's also genuine and stands by her convictions.

Speaking of small-target campaigns, you should have seen Albo’s puff piece in the Murdoch tabloids earlier in the week, PTID. Goal number one is to convince middle-class suburban Christian voters that Labor doesn’t ideologically diverge from the Coalition in any meaningful way. (Oh, I forgot to mention, there is no goal number two.)

^Indeed. The Overton window seems very small these days. Do either of the major parties have any bold plans for the next term of government?

[Pies4shaw]

Yes. Each intends to keep office and save the country from the incompetent and ideologically dangerous naton-wreckers on the other side.

So, their strategies could not be more different, really.
