My summation of the National Liberal spilt.
Largely meaningless theatre and inconsequential.
Time will tell.
This is hilarious in that the leader of the National Party in Australia is, in actual fact, a member of the Liberal Party and is only ‘affiliated’ with the Nats.
Does this explain the steady shift to the right by the Liberal Party in the last forty years?
This really is most farcical. 😂

The Liberals elect a female leader.
Shortly after the Nationals say they don’t want to be a part of that nonsense.

Hello to #Advance people this morning. #Greens member here. Increased our first preference vote, got three membership applications, renewed commitments from previously tired members to fight on for the environment. I *feel* like a winner.
I see you chortling about 'belting' The Greens. #yeahNah
Lovely to watch your millions of dollars flushing down the dunny for ... what? Two? three? parliamentary terms locked out of power. You and Angus and Barnaby go and have a cuddle in the 'winners' corner.
And when you come down from the cocaine, someone might explain numbers to you: the party you 'belted' was the #LiberalPartyOfAustralia
