Greens leader Adam Bandt is gone!

No comments

It seems that you can stop the music. Bye, Felicia!

While I don’t like the Labor Party, the gracious exchanges between Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese gave me some hope for our democracy. I have never wanted Labor to win so much as I did in the seat of Melbourne.

While I think Labor in their current form are socialist, they are a reflection of the weakness of conservatives in Australia. The Greens, however, are extremists. In my opinion, they have no place in Australian politics.

The good news is that Adam Bandt is gone!

Writing in Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

Despite a few ‘glimmers of hope’ (for Adam Bandt), it seems inevitable that he has lost his seat and the leadership of the Greens. His arrogant campaign to ‘keep Dutton out and get Albanese to act’ failed to resonate across the country. Although Bandt’s problems were also local, with a 2024 redraw of boundaries robbing the Greens of a few strong suburbs. Bandt wasn’t brilliant, but I fail to see how the movement can survive with someone like Mehreen Faruqi in charge. How many old school environmentalists envisioned their tree-hugging party as a Palestine-centric, rainforest-bulldozing, communist machine?

Terry Barnes had a few words to say, too, in the Morning Double Shot newsletter:

Michael de Percy’s working overtime in this election season. Today he rejoices in the demise of the diminutive leader of the Greens, Adam Bandt, and the possibility the party of hard left activism will have no seats in the lower house. However, the Greens are not gone – this carbuncle on the bottom of Australian democracy still has power and influence in the Senate, wielded by people even more unpleasant and toxic, if that be possible, than Bandt. We are not done with this malevolent incubus yet, more’s the pity.

Hopefully this isn't the last we will see of this talented conservative politician

One of the conservatives who understands Australia better than most politicians has been returned to the Senate for the Northern Territory.

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, you rock!

I’ve seen this honest and forthright politician speak at CPAC and she is all charisma and wisdom. The whole package.

What I love about Senator Price is that she is as Aussie as they come. Every bit of her being represents what we wish we were before the Woke nonsense came to our shores.

Zoe Daniel is done and dusted

Zoe Daniel is officially the biggest Teal loser [Fourishingfood CC BY SA 4.0]

It’s been an annoying weekend for conservatives, but the weather is always warm if you wait long enough:

Zoe Daniel is gone!

Liberal MP Tim Wilson has claimed Goldstein from Simon Holmes e Whatsit’s Teal party non-party MP Zoe Daniel.

What makes the victory sweeter is that Daniel claimed victory on Saturday night.

Writing in the Morning Double Shot newsletter Terry Barnes had this to say:

For those of us disgusted with the Blue team gifting the Red team another two terms at least (hope I’m wrong on that, but it doesn’t look good), watching Liberal Tim Wilson zoom past his Teal nemesis Zoe Daniel in the Melbourne seat of Goldstein yesterday was a consolation prize. Michael de Percy celebrates Wilson’s resurrection as a tonic for conservatives but, as Wilson has always defined himself as a classical liberal, and is certainly not socially conservative, Michael should, perhaps, just welcome Wilson’s return as an intellectually-talented Liberal capable of bolstering a devastated Opposition’s denuded brainpower. Now to see whether accident-prone Monique Ryan in Kooyong and that Teal lady in Sydney’s Bradfield will join Zoe Daniel in the electoral out-tray. We certainly hope so, and that peak Teal has been passed.

Writing in the Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

It is a weird point in the election process and no one is quite sure what’s going to happen in several critical seats with all the re-counts in progress. Candidates who claimed victory yesterday have found out this afternoon that they lost their seats. One of these casualties is is Teal ‘independent’ Zoe Daniel. As far as anyone can tell, she’s done and dusted – and soon to be joined by at least one more. Maybe even Greens Leader Adam Bandt. There are lots of upsets in progress – although almost none of them are likely to favour the Liberals. They were roundly thumped.
