What the hell was Penny Wong up to? Lining up to be the first to knife Albo in the back?
Senate, female, gay, quite bright, good operator, has a shit-ton of creds and power.

She could operate Albo like a puppet I expect. Doubt she wants to swap to the lower house and join in the clown show.

I have a lot of time for Penny Wong. I might disagree with a lot of her political positions but I respect her.

Though the question wasn’t directed to you. What do you think she was playing at with her speech prior to Albo’s? Or weren’t you watching?

Same as Frydenberg ..and he wasn't even introducing the new PM, Just having a bob each way in case he actually didn't lose his seat and became PM. Or weren't you watching? 

I have to say that this was the weirdest election night I've ever watched, and I don't think I've missed one.

Of course I wasn't fucking watching.

For one thing I don't own a TV, haven't owned one in over 20 years and don't intend to own one.

In addition life's far too short to watch politicians waffle, there's endless porn of the boating, machinery and human types to waste my time watching, all of which is far more appealing than watching some politician waffle on. I'd rather stick my thumbs into my eyeballs, frankly.

well, good luck to Albo and Co. 

hope they do a decent job - for all of our sakes. 
Seriously,

I dont get the angst.

well I do. It's largely manufactured.

We've had Labor governments before and the Sky didn't fall.

There's probably more experience in this Gov than Abbot had.

Least we forget.

A crying Albo supporting Rudd to bring down our first women Prime Minster.

I love election night. Had some mates around and watched Anthony do his thing. Green I mean, not Albanese. 

If only I had a dollar for every time the word cunt was used.

What Job will Shorten get? I suspect Albo will be keeping him not just close but ‘Closer’. 
I now have the Nine Inch Nails 'Closer' going through my head. It doesn't make for happy thoughts when paired with images of Albo and the alleged rapist. I need to put my brain on ignore.
