I believe we are capable of doing better.

If we stop believing this, then we've already conceded defeat.

This whole election campaign has been a circus freak- show

Did you know that political parties are allowed to tell lies in their election pitch?

I saw the Labor party how to vote card - it was full of well known lies -
the most obvious one was about Dutton's $600 billion nuclear plan.
The real figure is not even half that.

What the hell possesses a PM from humble beginnings to be driven just around the corner in a class: 1 limousine , with SAS enerouge trailing behind?

Lol....

It's more about prestige and glamour than getting the job done it seems.

How dare he flounce around in a vehicle like this at the end of a woeful performance, yet fell over himself trying to convince Australians he was from humble beginnings?

Less pomp and more productivity.

Meanwhile there's poor families out there who's kids are dying in hospital waiting rooms from easily treatable ailments , many families living in their cars or in tents while waiting.

What planet do they come from, to have been so arrogant and out of touch with the majority of Australians that has left many of us reeling and wondering if we just imagined the last 3 years of some warped side-show of freaks?

This might wake them up a little, if they think they'll escape criticism of the MSM, who cares? Because these days, everyone's a journalist, journaling what is happening, and most of them don't have to undress on a recruitment couch to do so. Not anymore, they're happy to do it for free.

Allowed?

This depends on what the public will tolerate Bobstar.

And if this underwhelming election outcome is anything to go by, it's not much at all now is it

There's a difference between winning a majority government to the sour vibe of having only just slid through along ones stomach in desperate need of another party's preference votes to govern.

It's embarrassing. 8-)

Seems not.

Trumps a real winner, no campaign engineers with their hands stuffed up his clacker telling him what to, or not to say.

And he drives his own cars to work.

Predictable result. Dutton ran a poor campaign and preferences killed many Lib seats. That's one thing I dislike about our system. Preferences!

Preferences should be clear to everyone prior to every election.

Dutton lost his seat through preferences from the Greens and Independents flowing through to Labor.
