          You’re right, HYPER AUSTRALIA will definitely involve MORE AUSTRALIAN FLAGS. Tony Abbott was ahead of his time, I guess.

        Okay, Thanks Google. But I still have no idea what’s going on. I remember Sussy being ousted, but didn’t know/remember who replaced her.

            This has happened to so many politicians, I can’t be expected to remember them all.

          Google is wrong, by the way. The man on the right is Matt Canavan, new leader of the National party (replacing David Littleproud, who resigned) and future Prime Minister of HYPER AUSTRALIA.

            You just know you are important when people need to Google who you are and even Google doesn’t know!

            Do I take it that the point of the whole post is that the Libs and Nats are kissing and making up?

              The point of the original post? Just observing how bizarre Matt Canavan’s leadership victory speech was: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ud34GCttids

              Posted the pic of the pair of them just because both Coalition leaders are total clowns.

              Libs and Nats already formally patched things up and reentered their coalition agreement in early February. I don’t know if Canavan is any better aligned with Angus Taylor than Littleproud was. Maybe in style? It hasn’t been been reported as positive or negative for the durability of the coalition agreement. I think, though, that his hard stance against climate action could cause disharmony in the Coalition when the Libs want to hold onto or win back seats from Teals.

                I can’t remember where I heard it, maybe friendly jordies, maybe democracy sausage podcast. But someone said they’d heard it was a trade for getting back together.

                Conservative Liberals wanted some blood for the Nationals blowing the partnership twice in a year, and didn’t want to roll their own leader with the Nationals leader staying.

                I don’t know how true that is, but I find it believable, since there was obvious anger from all sides of Liberals last month when the split happened. Long story short the ‘progressive’/‘wets’/‘soft’ Liberals get rolled by their own party for the Nationals again.

              I’d say the most well known and copied photo of Matt Canavan is one where he smeared a bunch of grime on his face to cosplay as a ‘woRKer-MAn wHo doES the joBs’. Maybe that grime has thrown the AI in some way, so it doesn’t recognise Matt Canavan without grime wiped on his face. 😆
