The federal election results have finally been tabled and parliament is about to preside over the next phase of managed decline of the Australian economic zone.
Unfortunately, Senator Gerard Rennick has confirmed that he was not re-elected and will finish his term on June 30th:
As many of you would know by now I did not regain my seat in the Senate. My final day as a Senator for Queensland is Monday, 30 June.
While this is a disappointing outcome, it was still a very good result given the short lead time and lack of mainstream media attention that the… pic.twitter.com/ORZV6DJKxl

As I wrote about last week, this was a likely outcome but is just the beginning for the potential long-term rise of the People First Party.
I also wrote last week about the centre-right and One Nation being on the ropes politically and that it was just a matter of time before their long overdue demise comes to fruition.
It turns out I didn’t have to wait long.
Just like the Tories in the UK, Australia’s alleged conservative party have gone for the menopausal girl boss as leader and the results are already as foreseen before the new parliament has sat. The new leadership of the Coalition, yes Coalition as the Nationals were predictably full of it when it came to splitting, has declared it’s business as usual in the next parliament and they will indeed be moving further left:
“The Coalition has abandoned a key election promise to slash migration despite warnings that its crushing defeat was due to immigration policy, and will instead focus on wooing “multicultural communities”.
The new Opposition immigration spokesman, Queensland Liberal National Party Senator Paul Scarr, refused to recommit to former leader Peter Dutton’s pledge to cut net overseas migration to 160,000 – 100,000 lower than Labor’s target – despite calling it “considered and measured”.
Mr Scarr, who was appointed by Opposition leader Sussan Ley last week and regularly shares photos of himself pandering to immigrants, told The Australian in an interview that one of the Coalition’s goals was to “engage deeply and respectfully with all of our multicultural communities”.
“I have a firm view that many of the fundamental values of the Liberal Party resonate in many of our multicultural communities,” he said.
No-one could have foreseen this. Importing even more migrants that don’t vote for your party is albeit guaranteed to put the dagger in the heart of the LNP.
If you’ve ever watched Senate Estimates (that important Senate thing Pauline Hanson never attends) you will see that Scarr is one of the absolute worst offenders when it comes to advocating for open borders, particularly refugees.
This guy is at least on par and arguably worse than ex-refugee lawyer Andrew Giles was and he’s supposed to be in opposition.
One Nation are currently gloating about the fact they’ve doubled their number of senators from 2 to 4 and had nearly a million votes.
The reality is most of those would be protest votes against the uniparty rather than any great One Nation support. PHON is really just a preference redirection scheme for the Liberal Party, as evidenced by Pauline’s repeated behaviour. Great lot of good those preferences did, considering the Liberals’ abysmal showing.
I expect both of those elected Senators to have quit the party in the next 18 months and Pauline and/or Malcolm Roberts to retire before the 2028 election. James Ashby seems to think otherwise:

This is pure fear from Ashby. He knows that we know the Overton window has shifted (he likely has been hate-reading The Noticer) and more people are attuned to the One Nation scam and that he’s waiting in the wings to take over, so he’s moved to re-assure their base that there’s nothing to worry about.
In fact, PHON are so confident of their future success that after 30 years they’ve finally decided to set-up state branches, which in reality is 100% out of fear of Rennick and People First.
The cold, hard truth is that the centre-right is now dead and a handful of lower house MP’s are re-enacting the Australian, direct-to-DVD version of Weekend at Bernie’s to make it look like they’re still functional.
The reaction by conservatives to a recent banner protest by the NSN, in reaction to a machete attack at Northland Shopping Centre, further illustrates my point.
Apart from the usual fedjacketing accusations (because that’s apparently why Stephen Wells spent four months in jail for celebrating Australia Day) the general tone of the centre-right was along the lines of this:
“Oh this is bad optics, why couldn’t they have just said violent migrants then more people would agree.”
Yeah, let’s just tailor the message to the regime-approved format and that’s how we win. Another win for free speech conservatism, guys.
If you think words are worse than having a machete rammed through your torso by a sub-Saharan while taking the kids out shopping, we have a big problem – one of many problems that the centre-right have refused to acknowledge or do anything tangible about for decades.
Victorian Liberal leader Brad Battin supported the farcical machete ban by the way, and took the 200IQ position of also taking your rights and property away, but faster.
“But mate Albo will be so bad that in 2028 the LNP will win in a landslide.”
Well, that was supposed to happen in 2025 but didn’t.
At the current rate of replacement migration, the Liberal Party will not exist by 2028 and we won’t have the sequel to Weekend at Bernie’s (the sequel was shit anyway).
They’re going extinct at the state level too.
They are in permanent opposition in Victoria despite the worst state government of all-time and were unable to lay a glove on Daniel Andrews during Covid, despite him giving away free kick after free kick.
The WA Liberals are the worst with single digit members in the lower house for the second state parliament running. It appears their all-girlboss leadership team of Libby Mettam, Michaelia Cash and Caroline Di Russo did absolutely nothing, as did running six Indian candidates.
They also look like they’re about to lose Tasmania, one of the two states they currently hold, leaving only Queensland and the CLP-governed Northern Territory preventing a one-party nation.
All in all, the centre-right is over and this is a very good thing.
The kvetching on Sky News and at The Spectator can continue all it wants, the Liberals and PHON are both done and as previously opined by others there is a huge political vacuum on the right now there for the taking.
I will say, that in my current opinion it does appear to be a political race against time in terms of the immigration situation. However, given the abysmal state of the Australian economy and the rapidly accelerating destabilisation from social cohesion breakdown, very hard times are ahead for the incumbent regime to manage both that and the rising opposition to it.
In light of all of this, what remains of the centre-right needs to get out of the way, or you’ll get run over by what’s coming from your right.
