1/Fellow Aussies, I'll try keep this brief (yeah we'll see).
The LNP hasn't governed seriously in over 6 months now. Their influential moderates have deserted them.ScoMo is more concerned with pimping out his multiple loathsome personalities to the public than discussing policy.

2/ This isn't the way politics is played in Australia. But the LNP is desperate. They know they can't win this election on democratic principles, so they'll hold the ABC hostage and censor our internet activity instead. And in doing so, they've revealed their true colours.
3/ At face value, they're a party without unity, unable to produce a viable agenda, with zero interest in governing, relying on taxpayer funds & CCP-backed tycoons to subsidise their advertising. In short, they're fucked. So why are they fighting so hard to keep power?
4/ Because an oligarchy has emerged within the LNP. These pricks aren't interested in governing, only in retaining & consolidating power so they never have to face justice. Justice for what, pray? Ask the whistleblowers. Oh wait, you can't, because they've disappeared.
5/I underestimated the LNP. I thought they were done for. Under our democratic system, they should be. But they've changed the rules of the game. They are desperate, and dangerous, and they have more power than most of us thought.
6/ Oligarchies are a huge threat to democracy, because once established they're incredibly hard to get rid of. Power & wealth are consolidated within an exclusive circle and passed down via inheritance or to handpicked successors. Any elections are for appearance's sake.
7/ Sounds a bit extreme? Look at the quality of our leaders. The Home Affairs minister doesn't believe in democracy, the Energy minister doesn't believe in climate change, & as for Barnaby Joyce, the farmers' champion...who knows what he believes in any more. His penis, probably.
8/I've already mentioned ScoMo, who has as many different identities as baseball caps. This is what the LNP has become. A leaky man o' war kept afloat by a rabble of corrupt, dishonest, untrustworthy political has-beens, and not one of them is fit to mend another.
9/This election is the best - maybe the only - opportunity we have to get rid of them and the power structure they represent. It's time the LNP realised they're not above the law. Fuck their oligarchy. It has no place in Australia's democracy. Neither does censorship. #auspol
