VOTERSâ ATTENTION SPAN SHRINKING DUE TO â OH LOOK, SOMETHING SHINY!
The attention span of Australian voters has shrunk to momentary levels due to the price of âOh look, thereâs another shiny thing.â
The election has clashed with the number of reality TV shows but if you tell that to kids, they wonât believe you.
Cornchip?
Australians who watched the Channel 7 Election Debate were amazed at the scarcity of good plumbers and how about those Broncos?
Recollections of the Liberal government promising ICAC, delaying vaccines and sacking Barnaby only to bring him back are wearing Marilyn Monroeâs dress to the Met Gala.
The election will be won by the donkey vote.
RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION FINDS DEVIL IN DETAIL
Scott Morrison says that, if elected, he will pass the Religious Discrimination Act and Protections Act for gay and trans students separately.
A spokesman said: âEach of the laws will be a condom over the other.â
âThe Religious Discrimination Act will allow organised religion to attack LGBTQIA+,â said a pastor with sauce. âWhy else would we bother with it?â
Smock-mocked Catholic priests donât want the previous crimes of their order held against them. âHolding things against us is not advised.â
BLUE AND GREEN SHOULD NEVER BE SEEN
âTealâ Independent candidates say theyâll choose between Labor and Liberal in the event of a hung parliament, before siding with the Liberals.
âTealâ candidates all live in the Liberal heartland â leafy suburbs patrolled by shitzudoodles.
A candidate said: âWe feel strongly about the environment because we own so much of it.â
When asked about her views, a teal candidate said, âMy views include a glimpse of Lavender Bay.â
Conservatives fear many Blue Ribbon Liberals will be left mopping up the grey areas.
The Teals are coy about whether theyâll side with Labor or Liberals because it makes them momentarily interesting.
âBut be serious,â said a Climate 200 financier-fancier. âDo you really think weâll support Vaucluse, Toorak and the Labor Party?â
ELECTION DEBATE DISSING CONTEST
The final election debate between Anthony Albanese and Scott Morrison was judged by a pub test. So even the slurs were slurred.
A pub test is a sampling of half-pissed voters whoâll do anything for a free beer.
It was more a wine bar test â not terribly complex, a hint of bitterness and not a big finish.
The outcome of the debate was inconclusive because oh look, thereâs something shiny!
