Hilarious. Clearly LNP ran a focus group to address their 'Women won't vote for us because we are dominated by White Males' problem & somehow ended up with 'Replace them with White Blonde Females' as the solution. I'm guessing the 'LNP policies sucked' being the cause didn't get evaluated.

Interesting that ABC 7:30 and Jacob Greber chose “4th leader in 5 years” rather than “3rd in 11 months” to comment on VIC Lib spill. Some good PR work there (or showing a bit of bias).

Nazis who rallied at parliament want to enter politics. They think NSW is their best shot
Neo-Nazis are on a recruitment drive in a bid to register as a mainstream political party, and they believe a NSW upper house position could be their best bet.
