Virginia Trioli
James McGrath Liberal Senator

James McGrath – Lib Patsy
Terri Butler – accomplished liar
Larissa Waters – Lunatic, HARPY HARPY
Malcolm Roberts – Climate cult shitcanner and Legend.
I think I may have come in a bit low, looking at the lineup but I’ll run with it. Roberts should stir a bit of interuptions.
It’s gonna be all climate all night.
53 please Carpe,
This should be a cracker.
FWIW i probably came in low at 56
should be interesting
Carpe,
42 if you will.
I hope they sit Roberts and Waters next to each other for some added drama.
4 corners is a waste of space.

It’s on
lets party
Anyone watch Media Watch hatchet job on electric car scare campaign before this?
Two limp ones on the left side of the screen.
Butler starts out slow, that getting sued thing may have had an effect
Greens candidate looks like a candy cane
Why is she wearing dart flights from her ears?
Rita Panahi dead right regards Adani. If Libs want to win they need to play the racist card that the people oppose it don’t want Indians to have cheap power.
Larissa’s adani fashion ear adornments look like the safety pins of a fire extinguisher.
Libtard says that a vote for PHON gives it to the ALp
Ok
You retards don’t deserve a vote
Hard core harpy question on Roberts past and policy.
So many leading interruptions.
Vaginia is going full snowcone.
This is bloody hilarious!
The unhinged deranged fire guns aimlessly.
More interuptions than dialogue.
vitrioli is interrupting at high speed
Big numbers coming.
So Virginia plans to interupt Malcolm and reinterpret his words all night.
Never go full snowcone
Ah … the doubtful claims spiel … always trotted out when the ABC don’t like the answer they hear …
Carpe Jugulum

Curses.
Next up Adani
Fat lesbian gets an intervention from vitrioli
Snowcon 5
ABC star chamber.
Wow. Virginia is now channeling the audience and telling us what they are all thinking.
Terrible Butler will save the children.
Why do they always get earnest looking 15 years old to ask questions about adani and climate change.
If we stop one coal mine the sea level drops. Why doesn’t someone call out these idiots on this madness?
Labor are conflicted over Adnai and their climate policy …
Terri is channelling Plebesec in her demeanour
Adani !!!
Butler the sued goes for the Klimate Khange
All the credibility of a mollusc.
Notice how she allowed Terri to finish.
Comprehensive sweet Mmmmmm
Larissa hates Adani
Larissa is a moron who mouth breathes.
Why can’t some sane person point out that changing the Australian government will have zero influence on the world’s climate?
Q: How will stopping Adani stop climate change? Or even reduce CO2 emissions?? Adani will just get his coal from somewhere else, won’t he?
All Hail (land on) Butler the Sued!
The Greens economy will be selling tofu, string bags and bamboo straws.
Waters says adani lied about expected jobs. WTF.
Manufacturing? All that shite has gone overseas.
Unprecedented…bla bla bla…
Larissa looks like beaker the muppet.
Got to pull the pin, got an early start again on the morrow. The one good thing about daylight saving is that I get to go to bed at a decent hour if I wait up for Interruption Lotto.
The rate the interruptions are coming, I’m on the low side of bidding anyway.
Enjoy, folks, and I’ll read the rest of the Cat observations in the morning.
Yogurt powered cars and cowdung fueled stoves.
Clown world.
James is clawing back some cred.
Move to Western Australia. Trialed three times, rejected at referendum four times. Nowthe snowflakes bawl that they haven’t had their say..
+1
Terri Butler comes across as an airhead.
The Greens economy will be selling tofu, string bags and bamboo straws.
Yogurt powered cars and cowdung fueled stoves.
And marijuana of course.
Unproportionate? terri?
Should have asked the greentard how many hectares will have to be bulldozed to power a city with solar panels, provide power to a aluminium smelter and/or a steelmill.
Terri says no change to gst. Roberts is shut down on taxes. Waters gunning for big end taxes.
“Big end of town” ….. Drink
“One in Three corporates don’t pay any tax“……. Drink
Greens will have me drunk by the end of the episode.
Cancer workers question bags libs.
Bloke asking question about lack of Coalition funding to innovation, looks like James McGrath’s son.
Cancer worker gets pwnd.
Next question da cancer funding
BS will behaving a tug over that one
Larissa Waters: “Innovation in Australia died along with Malcolm Turnbull”
I didn’t have a drinking game category for this level of stupidity…..
“Innovation died with Turnbull” …. bwahahahahaha Good one Larissa! Turnbull was never an innovator!!
Lisping Larissa claims coal is declining. I don’t think it currently is!!!
Malcolm Roberts gets onto the price of electricity going through the roof, Virginia Trioli shuts him down fast.
Clown world greens, so funny
McGrath rejoins on cancer research and stumps Virginia somewhat. Roberts steam rolls them. Terri does a motherhood response.
Roberts is doing wel tonight
Alp bint can FOAD
I think Terri downed a couple of valiums
Terri Butler gets to talk until she runs out of breath & her voice trails off………..
Malcolm Roberts gets 25 words then cut off in mid-sentence; “Okay Malcolm Roberts, we’ll have to move on to another question!”
TB has this Freudian, smarmy smile when she’s dishing out the crap.
Trioli has lost control…pmsl
Terri has mastered the Lauren Bacall slow drawl.
Roberts spot on getting Fed Govt out of education. Far too complex. Let the states compete.
Yep, the last defamation lawsuit would have cost her close to a year’s salary. She’s making sure that doesn’t happen again.
So tedious for her when she can’t talk like she does in the ALP canteen.
Roberts – i’d like to hget Federal government out of education
AMEN
McGrath waffling big time.
McGrath has refocused and is making fatherhood statements and pleases the crowd.
Trioli has lost control! Big money isn’t working, Virginia
Virginia is a bootlicking Marxist lackey.
Well the questioner by definition is not a Liberal.
Parents out sourcing role models for their children to other people.
Seems young people out there oppose Adani, but support the Libs re economics and get applause from Q&A audience. Yeah, just feed the crocodile and it won’t eat you.
Gibb brother?
Right leaning people who are concerned about climate change are called Fifth Columnists.
Can someone check Mr faux liberals credentials.
Party donations bandied about.
Faux lib – you should be investing in ujobs = swampy doesnn’t think so.
Ethan about as close to a Liberal voter as the bloke who threw his shoes at John Howard.
Blue tape. Unions.
Was waiting for Assange question, crucial as to who forms government.
What action would you take on Assange?
Me: nothing.
Questioner on assange. I think he’s passed the joint down the isle before standing to speak.
Terri ducks Assange question.
Roberts has been good
The panel is shyte
Butler the Sued is twice shy.
Everyone backs away from assange.
OK to be white?
Roberts is clear and focused.
Alt right. Yes, infiltrated.
What is the ‘white supremacy’ symbol?
Mr voice over channeling Jack Thompson
Hippy with received pronunciation accent says Qld is “well known” & “renowned” as a “racist state” full of “racists”
What a wanker.
Shit – dude with more beard than me gets a gig about the radical right
Nazi’s Nazi’s everywhere
Fvkn retard
Bill Shorten, married to a former Governor General’s daughter, lives in a waterfront mansion, hobnobs it with billionaires – if that isn’t the big end of town, WTF is?
Larissa throws a grenade and smirks. McGrath fires up.
Don’t know, it seems you’ll have to peruse photos of LNP members to see it.
Apparently they show it whenever their photo is being taken.
Libtard attacks the greentard
Go you good thing
Trioli has cracked it! Train wreck!
Chain yourself to Shortens house and you’ll be chewing your arm off five minutes after he gets home.
Trioli did v good job of shutting Roberts down. Last question from a Greens loon.
Trioli’s face is priceless. She’s looking around almost as if for someone to help control the panel.
Runs her own business and her party is the Greens??? Either s liar or an idiot.
What is the ‘white supremacy’ symbol?
Democracy?
The rule of law?
The scientific method?
Computers, electric light, artificial antibiotics…
oh, sorry, I think I misunderstood the question…
I reckon Trioli will have a falling out with Snowcone over this ….
A female farmer who is a geentard
ICB on she is a farmer. un less she farms free range soy
I’m inclined to view that claim through the same filter as the claim of a 47% Liberal voting audience.
ICB on she is a farmer. un less she farms free range soy
Hydroponic weed
Cat farmer?
Questioner poses as lib but admits to voting green.
You will not nbelieve the numbers
Regards to the ‘contamination at Oakey’ the stuff that was used in the firetrucks at the base has been used in all city and regional airports around Australia.
Probably will …
I am guessing Trioli is out of the race to replace Snowcone
400?
Come on Carpe, score.
Ok Troops
Numbers came in at 92
I shit you not
Roberts made very good point at end. Greens own very little land, but want to control it all and farmers control most of the land, but have small say in things.
Disgrace. Thanks Carpe.
I’m done
Oyasumi Nasai
Thanks Carpe.
7:30 ad … to Bill Shorten … what do you say to people who say they don’t like you? BS: Just wait till you meet me .. Yeah, bIll, then they will totally loathe you!
Thank you Carpe.
92? Pharque!!!
If you missed ABC Late News after show, they did story about Clive Palmer’s debts and behind him stood a bloke in hi viz, with pink hard hat and Salvador Dali moustache.
Thanks again Carpe for including me event though I didn’t pick a number of interruptions, but I’ll only watch that putrid excuse for a circle jerk with token whipping boy when someone truly worthy comes on to rip the tards a new one.
bloody hell 92…..!
92? 92? That’s not a Q&A, that’s an obscene waste of viewing time.
White Supremacy sign ..R/hand ..form ..O …with thumb and index ..spread other 3 like prongs .
