I'm old now so I've been living in hope for a decent crop of politicians for a long time. Bernardi is gone. Bronwyn gone. Fielding gone. Abbott, Craig Kelly, Andrews, Downer and blissfully Reith... all gone (some more permanently than others). Yet more idiots stay on and on and on. I guess they prove the saying that you can fool some of the people all of the time etc, but before I die I'd just like a year or two of peace from fecking corrupt and moronic charlatans trying to pull the wool over our collective eyes.

To top it all off, in the biggest piece of shitfuckery ever, Brittany Higgins is under psychiatric care and Bruce Lehrmann walks away …

And the bit I just can’t forget - THEY STEAM-CLEANED THE SOFA 😳

Katherine Murphy - OMG, how correct and how ruthless an insight into the former PM’s character as a leader.

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen six human beings look more like a found-art installation composed of sentient ashtrays and deflated fart cushions."

Still laughing at that two days later.

It is hard to believe we lived like this.

So many of those dim witted clowns scattered throughout our democratic institutions it will take a generation to make the changes we need.

Talk about turning circle of the titanic 🤦🏼‍♂️

Grace Tame's quip about Scotty was at your level of wit... "the ambition of Voldemort with the brains of Petter Griffin". Does she read Sideboob?

"...furiously pedal their tiny bicycles around a novelty human hamster wheel..." Seriously. How do you come up with this sh*t? So awesome. And these aren't even my crop of dull wits.

Is there a more gormless combination in the world than the name "Littleproud", the things that come out of his mouth, and the man himself's face? You'll have to search far and wide to find it. He has said and done extremely little to be proud of, and his face supports that assertion from every angle.

The National Party, intend to throw the voice to parliament parchment into one of the Gina Ironheart's meteor crater-sized holes and cover it with the rubble from a previously desecrated sacred site.

The National's version of the modern-day Frontier Wars is now conducted with lawyers instead of spears with woomera's

The nauseous Nat's rivers of gold that stops them from becoming an anachronism, gushes from the horn of plenty that is Gina's ample bosom. They need her largesse to fund the Institute of Public Affairs, a think tank that is the source of all their policies.

In the hall of righteousness, the people in the public gallery, who wore 3D glasses would have been able to see the halo of hubris that floated above the head of the liar from the shire, as he absolved himself of all shame.

Now that the dregs of the Howard era retrogrades have come to realise that having control of all the print media, TV and Sky News is not what they thought it would be when they trashed media diversity. They thought that they could exploit the loophole in our constitution that doesn't enshrine the right to free speech that most other western nations enjoy. Rupert is plotting his revenge on the dissenters who disobeyed his call to arms.

The rumour in the hood is that the shire liar will have Sayonara Suckers etched on his headstone, but the grave will have security guards 24/7 to prevent the victims of Robo debit from depositing bodily waste instead of flowers.

When the cat jumped out of the bag on Wednesday, about a round of meetings with Stuey and his BFF Sydney 360, Stuey's nickname became the Circle Jerk. Apart from the declared remuneration, they say that the Peter Garret payment system, consisting of a brown paper bag containing wads of used notes, may have occurred.

Now that the liar has kept his job, his pension and his bum on his green seat, with his wrist still smarting from his punishment, poor old Stuey may not receive the same fate, but surely gainful employment will not be far away for a man with his talents.

The miasma that shrouds the definition of lobbyist and consultant, even David Astle would have trouble finding the answer in the Macquarie, is like a tapeworm that binds the denizens of the big house, in an amicable and profitable synergy of Liberal and National Parties' shared ideologies.

The nationals opposition at this early stage is politically dumb I agree but please listen to what Jacinta Price is saying at individual level. Jacinta and I are poles apart politically but I suspect that the answers lie somewhere in between. Aboriginal people have been mercilessly politicised into the two party system and I believe that this is partly to blame for the current dysfunction. I don't know if we should spend money on the voice when there are so many other things that need doing like sanitation, education and meaningful job creation opportunities in communities. One thing that the Nats got right is that the voice already seems elitist. Nobody has asked any bush blackfellas that I know about it or explained how it will improve their lives.
