New Liberal shadow ministry announced. Rather an odd setup. Trying to behave like a buisness board?

Underwhelming is the word I’d use. He’s just shuffled the same hacks around.

Marshall hasn’t had the best start, in my view. He’s made a few errors of judgement. Luckily for him, he’s still in a honeymoon period and he has a little sympathy, however, if he doesn’t improve by the end of the year, he could end up being a total dud.

Okay, I will come right out and say it: Illuminati Zionist Lizardmen from Tau Ceti IV!

Carey – calling the Pyne faction Left Liberals is a bit off beam. They are right wing. The others are rural conservatives?

I wasn’t commenting on their ideology, I was just referring to the label they are known as.

I know, I am deeply embarrassed but my source had admitted to being overly optimistic about Chapman coming unstuck and Chapman was brilliant. Some in the Liberals wish she could show that level of political nous outside the Liberal Party, but anyhow…

What happened was Chapman put her hand up, confirmed votes from her faction were solid very quickly, and then refused to back down.

Iain Evans of course did much the same with his faction a little later.

It left the unaligned candidates and unaligned MPs nowhere to go but for the factional candidates as they didn’t have enough to do anything but come third.

Marshall realised Sunday it had to be a Wet vs Dry argument and he would always vote for a Wet in that case so Evans was then always going to, at best, tie.

Avoiding the tie was paramount so someone voted for Chapman to ensure a name wasn’t drawn from a hat (how dopey would that have looked).

A certain prominent wet Fed MP was deeply involved in the number crunching, but I wouldn’t want to say who he is, or cast asturtions.

MHS looks like he has the potential to be this generation’s John Olsen, TBH…

Anyone able to put up a list of who voted for who and compared with last leadership vote. Suspect Redmond must have voted voted for Chapman?

Now the deputy will be tempted to unseat the leader, and the dries will be out to dehydrate the wets.

The Liberal Left will be proud of what they’ve achieved with this ticket.
