deird1Aaaand here goes the government being stupid again. Honestly, our politicians change their leadership more often than they change their underwear.
My thoughts over the last few days:
Government says "We keep chasing Labor's [more left-wing] base, and losing people from our own [right-wing] base to One Nation!". Mez thinks "Well... I was pretty solidly in your base, and you lost me to the left wing. You're pretty much losing people from all sides."
Turnbull says "We need to stop focusing on politics! If we don't get back to thinking about important issues, Bill Shorten will win the next election!" Mez thinks "Isn't worrying that 'Shorten will win' pretty much the definition of focusing on politics?"
Dutton lobbies to be PM. Mez screams, and starts stocking up on canned goods.

Also enjoyed the bit where Dutton said he was 'getting behind' Scott Morrison (well of *course* he is - you can't really stab someone in the back if you're not fully behind them).
