Yes, all seems to be in order here. I have been so badly oppressed by the govt’s climate policies I had to drag my local member of parliament off my roof, where she was ruthlessly installing solar panels. Oppressed, oppressed, I tell you!

liltrust.bsky.social•52 days ago

I can only tolerate one Downer

rickdu.bsky.social•53 days ago

"Centre-right".
Nah.

stevescott75.bsky.social•53 days ago

So his solution is to become one nation

gaznextdoor.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is the plonker who keeps throwing the truth overboard

anthonygeorgeff.bsky.social•52 days ago

Deeply mediocre guy with private school vocabulary and confidence.

ericbanana.bsky.social•53 days ago

Little wonder they lose.

gormangee.bsky.social•53 days ago

Procedure for Mr Downer!

pauldkgr.bsky.social•53 days ago

His dimness could mask the Sun.

yadbor.bsky.social•53 days ago

At least that would address the climate change problem - which would be a first for Sasha

“Put the fantasy of changing the weather ahead of family prosperity”

Well, tbh, putting solar panels on our house has helped with both of those things so why can’t it be a win-win scenario? Renewable energy is also a huge business and innovation opportunity! But they just can’t accept that.

Old Curly getting, and then having, a go.

🙄😵‍💫🤪🙇‍♀️

sharybobbins.bsky.social•53 days ago

Lesson learned 👍

quantumhawk666.bsky.social•53 days ago

So, nationalism and science denial for some perverse privilege. Standard downer fare.

tambor2.bsky.social•53 days ago

Well mannered gentle man if your winning full tanty if you’re not.

quantumhawk666.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yep, seems to run in the family...

ericarfabee.bsky.social•53 days ago

This twat talking about the ‘achievements’ of his ancestors. 🤮🤬🤬🤬

❤️💛🖤

yadbor.bsky.social•53 days ago

You must understand, the “achievements of their ancestors” are all the Downers of this world have going for them

dkyong.bsky.social•53 days ago

The rot has been there for years. The Libs have been importing US presidential-style politics for a while now. The use of words like "patriots" are not part of the Australian polity. Here we have Downer talking about patriots, and Abbott's post-concession interview also referenced patriots.

tomquinn.bsky.social•52 days ago

"Spurns the achievements of our ancestors"

Hmmm, let's take a look at the achievements of Downers own ancestors, oh yes, yes quite a lot.

maire19.bsky.social•52 days ago

SA premier Downer fought long and hard against female voting because they would stop riding side saddle

Also against state schools. Education only for the wealthy

ritastarpattern.bsky.social•53 days ago

Wait... he wants us to be proud of his ancestors slaughtering 'natives' ?

imnotonfire.bsky.social•53 days ago

Family first for the Downers it seems.

richard-j.bsky.social•53 days ago

The 2nd sentence was OKish, but the rest, especially the 2nd screen grab is 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

gergpotter.bsky.social•53 days ago

He seems less sane than I remembered.

killens.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is the Alexander Downer who tweeted that COVID was just a flu, and everyone should toughen up? That Alexander Downer? Yes, his advice is never not hugely welcome.

ellebee1000.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s actually kind of scary reading this as someone’s genuine perspective. How does he remain so oblivious? Gawd

ajustjane.bsky.social•53 days ago

If the few remaining Libs have any sense, they won't go anywhere near Downer or his ilk in their quest to rebuild.

anonymoussewerrat.bsky.social•53 days ago

Interesting that the Aboriginal people his ancestors slaughtered were not asked their opinion on patriotism and national pride.

Another one whose salty tears turn me on.

Hubby says thanks! He is -really- going to enjoy this week.

nightwatchman.bsky.social•53 days ago

Massive loser energy.

mgznco.bsky.social•53 days ago

" confiscatory" taxes.
Wow.
How else does he think we had the funds to pay his ****ing salary all those years?
His corporate mates hardly contribute to our tax base.
So over that pompous pratt.

lhjh.bsky.social•53 days ago

The Right lay claim to 'patriotism', as if progressives don't love their country, just like they claimed 'family', but we all know why he in particular would prefer to shy away from a close analysis of HIS ancestors.

thecontentflywheel.bsky.social•53 days ago

Well reading that put me on a downer.

gingermick.bsky.social•52 days ago

I think he has used AI to help write this. Who says confiscatory taxes!

fordtippex.bsky.social•53 days ago

"the fantasy of changing the weather"

imagine actually saying this when almost three quarters of Australians are worried about climate change? wow, Alexander, a true mystery why you assholes got routed. Sherlock Holmes couldn't solve this one.

averyofbirds.bsky.social•53 days ago

I expected an open call for trumpism so on that scale

hingehead.bsky.social•52 days ago

All the Simpsons memes are getting workout

irmagherd.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is remarkably similar to Pierre Pollievre’s accusation against the Canadian’s Liberal Party of “disrespecting our history”.

pgj.life•53 days ago

So MAGA….right… 🙄

davidlunt.bsky.social•53 days ago

Such out of date thinking.

joshmactechie.bsky.social•53 days ago

A blubbering mess. As usual.

fourlarksstu.bsky.social•53 days ago

JFC, such unbridled slop...

tambor2.bsky.social•53 days ago

Well he’s not getting any better is he and a good lie down isn’t going to fix it.
I note the use of Patriotic which us their new catch word. Dutton has been using it recently and others. I think it’s a sign they are going full military dress ups and giving up on democratic pleasantries.

bikeymikey70.bsky.social•52 days ago

Alexander Downer, who didn’t win an election as Liberal leader either, his record is even worse than Dutton’s

shartymcscrote.bsky.social•53 days ago

Dolly having an upper crust breakdown
