It’s not us, it’s you. If you move to the right, you leave a space in the centre. @PaulFletcherMP should see the community independent movement is caused by the Libs abandoning liberal values, not an ‘elaborate plot by left wing political operatives’! #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... - ThreadSky

It's an enjoyable valedictory speech from the member for Bradfield.

gordy-m.bsky.social•92 days ago

It's nothing we've done. It always has to be someone else's fault.

cousincat.bsky.social•92 days ago

Urgghhh… 😖

dpxho.bsky.social•92 days ago

The whole
“You can’t handle the truth”
Is playing over in my head - as I visualise it being yelled at Fletcher 😂🤷🏼

sadiewinter.bsky.social•92 days ago

Paul 'Optus' Fletcher clearly about to go the way of Tim Wilson.

heatherforward.bsky.social•92 days ago

So we hope

gregorypaul.bsky.social•92 days ago

He has always been a condescending prick though.

birds-arent-real.bsky.social•92 days ago

LNP are such bad losers ...

👏👏👏👏👏

The Liberal party has more drones than a bee hive.

designateone.bsky.social•91 days ago

Its hard to deny it when the writing is on the wall.

juliankeil.bsky.social•92 days ago

Locally people realise that #BetterIsPossible.

Ol’ mate Fletch is just trying to fire some parting shots on behalf of his once proud party.

leighbentley.bsky.social•92 days ago

Funny how all of a sudden he's got all these weird conspiracy theories about community independent candidates.
Why is he talking to Gerard Henderson's Sydney Institute, rather than the constituents of Bradfield?

charlietoo.bsky.social•91 days ago

A discussion between Fletcher and Gerard would be a wildly exciting event. To sleep through.

virbonus.bsky.social•92 days ago

Because he doesn't want to hear us.

georgielevy.bsky.social•89 days ago

Paul Fletcher, an incompetent Minister with a large ego. Can't accept that he and his ilk are the problem. The voters are fed up with "politics as usual " and the hubris of the 2 main parties.

Well said Kate exactly right

Good one

antf.bsky.social•92 days ago

It's as simple as that. You'd think a journalist or two might be able to get their heads around it, but not surprised Fletcher can't.

solardirectory.bsky.social•91 days ago

its never about the people is it, just them and power

marcuskelson.bsky.social•92 days ago

Paul Fletcher is a buffoon.

heatherforward.bsky.social•91 days ago

No arguments there

stimpysimpson.bsky.social•92 days ago

But he was promised by the party it was a seat for life! A safe seat! How dare the constituents want a true representative.
Time to get their snouts out of the trough............

mozgrealy.bsky.social•92 days ago

I am hoping for a viable independent in my electorate. Like many over the major parties inability to represent the public without fear or favour.

drunk-echidna.bsky.social•92 days ago

You and me both. My sitting member is retiring and I hope someone sees it as the opportunity to stand so we can have our own independent representation.

tweetfrankie.bsky.social•91 days ago

They’re quick to blame others before themselves.. and the 9 years of utter uselessness they’ve served, especially Fletcher. Hard to name one thing he accomplished.

pinnacledrop54.bsky.social•92 days ago

Fletcher is not a deep thinker.

tonydun.bsky.social•92 days ago

The LNP comms strategy: Say any dumb thing and see if it gets traction. If it isn't well received, (the vast majority of) media will see to it that it doesn't go anywhere and sinks quickly

glenntheplummer.bsky.social•92 days ago

Something to behold Paul Fletcher crying foul about any political foe but especially about Independents. If nothing much is clear from Labor’s current term this is…there is almost zero difference between the ALP and the LNP and their desire to maintain a duopoly parliamentary system between them.

kentparkskeet.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yet Labor members tell me the independents are all Liberals really.

These teals are tricky, aren’t they?

peterglen.bsky.social•91 days ago

Well most of them would probably have been Liberal if the party hadn't full nutjob.

kentparkskeet.bsky.social•91 days ago

Would they? Climate change and equality, not really Liberal Party things.

Dr Ryan was an ALP member in her youth.

Maybe not every politician fits into one of two parties?

#EndTheDuopoly

missamy231.bsky.social•92 days ago

A communication spokesman who fails to communicate.

He's going to struggle at the next election 🤞

auspicioustimes.bsky.social•92 days ago

Another white 60 yo man who thinks he is entitled to everything but a democratic vote.

*yes, I'm aware he turns 60 next month

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•92 days ago

Except what on earth is wrong with being left. So many of you think everything is about money and wealth. People don’t matter especially the people being left behind so others can be richer.

docbaty.bsky.social•92 days ago

The good news is: they’ve obviously learned nothing and maybe next year there’ll be 16 of you instead of 8

notxnortwitter.bsky.social•91 days ago

People like Paul Fletcher still don't get it. The concept of well-educated (usually) women wanting a better future for Australia but not supporting one of the major parties is beyond the comprehension of some of these old farts.

rbar75.bsky.social•92 days ago

Those guys just can't, for the life of them, take any responsibility of anything.
