The Liberal Party is in full disintegration mode at this point. Dutton can barely keep his party together, the only Liberal Premier left is going to be campaigning for the Voice, and they've lost a by-election that they should have won.

Right now, Voldemort's only saving grace is that there is literally no one competent enough to replace him. That alone is a stinging indictment of what was once considered the natural party of governance in Australia.

Parallels with a sister right wing party in the English speaking world are certainly available.

More proof of the Liberal meltdown: Julian Leeser, the Shadow Attorney-General, has quit the frontbench.

Shadow Attorney-General *and Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians. And if Dutton replaces him with Jacinta Price…..

Wait, it got worse:

And the Yes campaign is about to get an even more effective campaigner:

I really do not understand exactly what the "No" campaign is trying to achieve. The messaging on it is just so terrible, and this literally seems like parody.

Pure basic fearmongering. And it's already making progress.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is this "Voice" referendum actually about?

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Excuse my ignorance, but what is this "Voice" referendum actually about?

Establishing a constitutionally entrenched independent advisory committee for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The political establishment didn’t really expect it but the Aboriginal community held a long convention at Uluru and decided they preferred this to a preamble or constitutional recognition.

Stop trying to be funny. It's not working and makes you look pathetic.

Ho ho very satirical.

No one knows here either including first nations people, many of whom are going to vote No.

It's just a campaign by a minority of white people wanting to feel good about themselves for the sake of 'reconciliation'..

None of these people will work in outback WA towns and help Aboriginal people.

As Premier Mark McGowan noted earlier this year in relation to lawlessness in Carnarvon:

"Clearly what has been done here, essentially nothing, has not worked."

Are you just being deliberately brainless? It has been defined from day one as a body that will advise parliament on matters related to First Nations Australians.

And also, a minority of white people? This solution was literally created by a summit of First Nations elders.

My advice: Stop talking right now because you're clearly either not paying attention, or just racist, and I'm not sure which one is worse at this point.

I presume the difference between Jacinta and Jacinda is more than just one letter, then?

If you want to stick with the NZ analogy, Winston Peters as the Māori “anti-wokist” railing against co-governance isn’t entirely dissimilar to Senator Price.

[GoTfan]

I will say, hearing Warren Mundine whine about how the Voice was created by 'elites' is pretty ironic.

Jacinta is really up against some very difficult issues:

He'd still be a loyal Labor footsoldier if not for being snubbed by Bob Carr for Arbib's Senate vacancy back in 2012.

If the situation is that bad, then it's hardly surprising that people like Price and Dutton could capitalize on it.

1) dear god she's in dire need of media training

She answers questions in a very roundabout way.

I found Scott Morrison to be the best schmoozer of difficult questions in a media interview.

He had excellent technique regardless of what you think of his content.

Jacinta has such a difficult role it's hard to imagine if that role is worth the pay cheque. She is certainly learning rapidly at the moment and she can go back and watch her interviews and fix the anomalies.

The problem with ScoMo's technique is after a while everyone could see straight through it. Schmoozing is only successful in moderation, when you do it for every fcking question any journo asks you, well you look like a lying prick from marketing.
