Personally I've never expected Matthew Guy to be any chance as he's been unable to cut through with his message for the majority of his duration as opposition leader IMO.
He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD!

We have a really good Liberal candidate up here in Ballarat (Amy Johnson) and she might take the seat. I'm in Ripon, and it's huge so no idea of the vibe out in the boonies :lol:

The Greens are shit, they've got shit candidates and shit policies but the trendy wankers will vote for them anyway. Nice to see Labor working preference deals to freeze them out.
Really good candidate Amy Johnson? Nah will give a miss!
Cheers big ears

Well, fair enough. We have many problems to address, but jailing Matthew Guy would be a very good start.

Having read all that I'm struggling to find 5 I'd give a vote to.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

That's a very good question.

Several of the obvious candidates are ineligible. Unfortunately for the Liberals, none of Christopher Skase, Carl Williams, and Squizzy Taylor, is available, nor is there a suitable representative from the Moran family*.

So it comes down to a choice between the two Tonys - Madafferi and Mokbel. Both men are fully in tune with the philosophy and ethics of the Liberal Party, either one would make an entirely suitable replacement for Matthew Guy.


* Granted, there have been exceptions from time to time, notably for Prime Minister Billy McMahon, but in general the Australian Liberal Party does not appoint dead people to lead it.

What's Peter Costello doing these days? Surely he can be parachuted into a by-election in the next year or so.

Bring back Jeff? :lol:

^ Electorally speaking, less chance of life in those two than in Squizzy Taylor.

A fundamantalist Conservative Mormon: they're the new power behind the conservative puctch, sorry push in the Victorian Liberals with Krogers backing.

Get ready for intelligent design, creation theory, the rights of religious conservatives to be bigots, shooters rights to own automatic weaponry, funding from the arms industry, NRA style advertising, anti-abortion, etc.
