We need to remember that. The uniparty is responsible collectively for this situation. Andrew Hastie was very careful not to apportion blame but carefully stepped around the question.

The LNP will have hard time convincig people that they are no longer in the uniparty.

Indeed. They have failed so so far. Criticism of Pauline Hanson dies not constitute a policy.

John Anderson has been saying this for years. Even if he was part of a government that has contributed to this. I just wish Sky and the Media in general would stop banging on about this. Everyone knew something was going to happen so preparation should have occurred. We just have to do the best we can in the situation. If Iran can be crippled and the Prince take over- he is prepared the whole world will be better off.

No! Never blame a politician, We voted them all in.
