If it's the old-fashioned way, it'd be a logistical nightmare. He's 53 now (gawd, the same as me - hopefully that's our only shared attribute). So let's generously give him 25 years of regular active sex life without the Viagra killing him. Let's also assume he can find say 2,500 women that are prepared to bear 2 of his monsters, or else 5,000 at one each. Let's also assume it takes an average of 10 tries to get each woman up the duff. So that's 50,000 roots in 25 years, or 2,000 a year (probably slowing down towards the end, lets start off with 5,000 a year and reduce as he ages). So in that first year he has to perform about 14 times per day - every day of the year! I guess at least it'll give him something to do other than wreck the US government.

Is he going to father all the Martian children?

Something extremely satisfying about the silly bastard dropping $60m and getting nothing for it. Apparently the Legalize Marijuana party spent about $6,000 (1/10,000th) and got almost the same number of votes.

The Green vote has only decreased something like 0.5% overall since the last election - and that one was their biggest ever. They're saying that the reason this didn't translate to seats is because LNP preferenced Labor over Green.

Willem Dafoe?

Not them, but whoever is in their job 5 years later, by the sounds of it.

"...vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering." Sounds like he's describing himself. Is he going to be the first prisoner? Orange is the new Orange.

We can only hope. Given what he's doing to the US economy, chances are he'd hold the shottie backwards...

If you didn't vote, you can't complain about the outcome.

If "really spectacular" is code for "particularly stupid" then he's already achieved his ambition. Maybe he could retire early.

Really? Everyone in our neighbourhood still has a wood heater.

I didn't know whether to put this here, or music videos, or AI... but I liked it! https://youtu.be/A3XIkiSsHUM?si=hqJFIlfi_yagclLo

I don't know that the LNP are going to actually learn anything from this result. Littleproud was on the radio today blaming the loss on, believe it or not... "Labor demonized Peter Dutton!" Obviously not because they had no policies apart from negative ones (how the hell do you oppose tax cuts AND have a higher deficit?), the stopping work from home bullshit, the cutting 41,000 public servants bullshit, the rolling back of climate action, the idiotic nuclear plans sometime in the next 20 years, the whiff of Trumpism, the shambolic campaign, and the desperate attempts to play the culture wars. This is not 1950. If the LNP want to recover from this they need to stop living in the past and thinking that Sky News represents any sort of reality. But no, it's all because Labor demonized Peter Dutton.

I thought Albo's speech was quite generous, especially when he mentioned Dutton and someone in the crowd jeered - Albo stopped them and reminded them to be respectful. Mind you he did pick out one Labor candidate to congratulate, who just happened to be Ali France - who won the seat of Dickson (the seat previously belonging to Dutton).

Wow, that was quick. Didn't think we'd get the results tonight.
