They should have a psyche evaluation of new MPs. It's just bizarre that it's ok for people who obviously have a screw loose to enter parliament.

Plenty more of them that are like that, and it is hard to take them seriously anymore.

Yeah but then you'd lose half of Queensland, their preselections have been on the piss for years.

Then we just need to work on getting rid of the other half of QLD, WA and the NT based on competence.

Could Lismore be doomed to repeat failures exposed by flood catastrophe a year ago?
Widespread failures in preparedness, response and recovery were exposed in the aftermath of a catastrophic and unprecedented flood that had thousands of people fighting for their lives in and around Lismore. A year on — has anything changed?

FFS literally the only Liberal MP who increased her margin last election in a very competitive seat. Principled, pragmatic, popular, intelligent and seems to be the only current Liberal MP with a conscience, so of course they're trying to get rid of her:

I'm actually pretty confident on this - ultra conservative ideologues simply do not resonate with enough Australians to form a majority Government. If the Liberals continue to dribble down that path they're chasing a disappearing wedge. The demographics of voters show the majority of Coalition supporters aren't even boomers, they're the inter-war generation. Not a long term pony to bet on.
Unless the economy really tanks to the point that some conservative populist can gain traction with a desperate electorate the ALP have three terms in them I reckon.
