@ShiannonC And wasn't crisisfulli sulky. It looked like it had swallowed a lemon.

Congratulations to Labor’s Luke Richmond on winning the seat of Stafford in yesterday’s QLD byelection.
It is particularly interesting that Luke won considering that he had only four weeks to prepare. The QLD LNP government were keen to snatch this Labor seat and wanted to make the lead up to the byelection as short as possible.
What I witnessed during this campaign was the grubbiness of the QLD LNP in action. They threw everything they had at Luke - negative media campaigns, the spectre of corruption in the CFMEU, the supposed scandal of Annastacia Palaszczuk’s partner that had nothing to do with her, the intense and continuing attempts to associate Luke with so-called union corruption.
.. and then there the online trolls and online media smearing of Labor and Luke 24/7. No Labor MP in QLD was safe in their support of Luke. The trolls descended in their droves - incessant, belligerent, insulting, peddling spite and hypocrisy like toddlers in a sandpit.
One might think that the LNP had literally paid for an army of trolls and bots to do their dirty work for them. 🙄
Now that it’s over and Luke has won Stafford - the negative Nellie naysayers are out and about with their narratives of the “swing against Labor”, “rigged elections” and “preferential voting favours Labor”
It is to be expected, considering the repugnant campaign that the LNP ran in the media and online - that there would be a swing against Labor. If it were a fact that compulsory preferential voting favours Labor, then why did the QLD LNP win the 2024 state election? If compulsory preferential voting favours Labor, how is this possible?
The naysayers who are flogging the anti-compulsory preferential voting in QLD for all its worth might want to consider a couple of points. One Nation did not field a candidate in the Stafford byelection - and if they had I’m pretty sure that the LNP would have preferenced them. This may have changed the outcome. They might also want to consider then that those preferences can also help the LNP. Considering the results of the 1998 QLD state election, however, when ON were riding on a percentage high and the LNP lost to Labor, they might want to be careful what they wish for.

💥Angus Taylor grilled on his “dog-whistling” migration plan after diaspora groups, Lib colleagues, call him out.
He just gets worse, apparently today’s migrants are leas worthy, coz they’re not like “great” & “committed” migrants in the past🙄
Disgraceful, unelectable. #auspol

@JNampijinpa Give it a rest numpty. The LNP sold Australia out to the highest bidder years ago. You're a party that is controlled and run by the corporate sector. Corrupt to the core.

Australians are tightening their belts while government keeps getting bigger. Families are paying more, small businesses are under pressure and young Australians are losing confidence that hard work gets you ahead.
Australians are entitled to ask whether life is becoming easier or harder under this government. That should concern all of us.

🚨 PRESIDENT Donald Trump says it straight.
“I’ve brought in $18 trillion for this country. When I travel, I make money for AMERICA. Not for me. I don’t care about that.”
“I already have money. I don’t want money. I want money for the COUNTRY.”
That’s the difference. Service over self. America first. Always.
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
