As Malcolm Turnbull finally confronts his political demise on ABC 7:30, Australians are looking back at the tumultuous end of his political career. Many with shaking heads.
Starting of course with the dregs of the Federal Government’s citizenship scandal, that left voters confused about whether or not half the legislation passed in this country of the last 100 years should actually be considered ‘the law’ – when taking into account that most of it was voted on by half pissed dual-citizens.
Then of course the Deputy Prime Minister’s illegitimate child and subsequent resignation, when he finally learned when to pull out.
But just when we thought the technologically illiterate, mostly Christian, old men that make up a large majority of Australia’s political class were out of tricks to surprise us with, somehow Scott Morrison was able to replace Prime Minister Turnbull as Prime Minister in early August.
The Liberal Spill followed months of petty games being played by the federal politicians who are all paid 6 figure salaries to represent the people of Australia’s interests. Namely, by passing laws to read all of our encrypted messages and fucking people who aren’t their wives.
As one of the many memorable moments in our nation’s news cycle last decade, Australians are looking back at this particular moment fondly and with a chuckle,
Peter Dutton, the man who walked out on the National Apology to The Stolen Generations, and has made it his purpose in life to make life hard for brown people wanting to enter the country, said that Murdoch columnists and anti-abortion MP’s in Coalition had assured him that this is what the people of Australia want.
He lost at the last minute to an outlier who thankfully has proven to be just what Australia needs to deal with bushfires and pandemics.
However, many believe he still thinks he can get that top job eventually, lol.
“Haha. I still can’t believe that cunt though he had it in the bag” says one Betoota Heights resident, Shaun (55, Bricklayer).
“Oh my god. Did you hear he flew his kids down to Canberra for his victory speech! That’s so fucking funny.” says Meg from the Old City (35, hairdresser).
“Ha ha ha. Did you hear about what his workmates left on his desk on his last day in the Queensland Police Force” says Paul (45, teacher).
