You BUGgers out there might start to wonder why our judges have selected the entry at top for our winner over the past week, especially after you see some of the vicious and pointed tweets and memes to follow.
The answer is simple, really. Prue MacSween’s telling fuck-off to Julian Leeser just about sums up the current state of the Liberal Party of Australia and Paul Syvret’s response to her is spot on.
Just think about it. Leeser, who resigned as shadow attorney-general and aboriginal affairs spokesperson so he could campaign for the yes vote on the Voice, was regarded as one of the best people in the shadow cabinet. A moderate, for sure, but an intelligent man who dissects issues with compassion.
MacSween is wrongly accused by some as being a loud-mouthed lush. Wrongly accused by some of being an alcohol-fuelled influencer. But she is a prominent Liberal and her fuck-off to Leeser brilliantly sums up the fatal divisions within the Liberals. Good riddance to a traitor? Really?
MacSween, wrongly accused by some of clear thinking, supports the SkyNews After Dark theory that the party’s future success lies in lurching more to the right. Good luck with that, Prue darling girl!
That selection explained, let’s move on to Peter Dutton’s trainwreck of a visit to Alice Springs that’s left him in all sorts of bother for not reporting the massive amount of kiddy-fiddling he declared was going on in and about that town.
His proud record of looking after kids sparked some great responses from The Bug‘s twitterfeed. Take it away, Embattled Lucas (loved your final FUCK OFF, by the way), Cass L and our much-loved MFW.
Speaking ill of Jacinta Price, Phillip reminded us that train crashes are not the sole preserve of her leader.
An avalanche of Twitter criticism was levelled at the dog-whistling efforts of these two, and Dutton’s approach in particular to how he practises politics. Sadly, it’s the only way he knows.
Swagman, amante2 and Wayne nailed things pretty well, we thought.
Several of our entries last week roped in the mainstream mediocre’s role in giving these racists air, including Jessica Mason, Helen Wornham and Politic@l Spinner
Tao de Hass apparently listened to Parnell Palme McGuiness on The Drum – The Bug hopes he makes a full recovery – while also targeting Newscorpse…
And we suspect Mike Carlton might have had how The Voice debate is developing in mind when he got stuck into Andrew Bolt. Oh, Mike, we just love how you use words.
Okay! Enough of such issues. Rick had Qantas and you-know-who in his sights while Geoff Kitney in a response to Peter Logue suggested the ABC should be deItarised.
Mike Dowling etc, etc, took the charming Sarah Henderson to task over education spending…
And just to show how cruel some of those on The Bug‘s twitterfeed can be, let’s finish off with memes from Scunto Morrison and Verner Verass. And we do this very reluctantly as we are aware of the pressing need to lift up the quality of political debate in this country at the present time. The Bug believes there is no place for personal attacks so shame on both of you!
