Reference :- Matron of Sky News , Peta Credlin , and doyen of the Murdoch empire, Andrew Bolt , have given us the benefit of their election result analyses .
Here at the Sky Reply we felt obliged to watch the most respected of the Sky News political commentators as they presented their astute analyses of the election result .
Some folk might view their presentations and simply dismiss them as two bitter and twisted warriors of the far right who hated watching their party lose the culture wars . But not everybody . Others may dismiss them as two bitter and twisted warriors of the far right who hated watching their party lose the culture wars without bothering to view their presentations .
For those who have better things to do , here is quick precis of their opinions .
Peta Credlin could be summarised as follows :-
The Labor party told lies and bought votes with cynical cash handouts . Most people did not vote for Labor and they only won on preferences . She admitted that the LNP should shoulder a great deal of the blame for such a catastrophic loss , especially since they had failed to fight the " culture wars " more vigorously .
Andrew Bolt could be summarised as follows :-
In the past , when the LNP won , young Andy Bolt was quick to say that the Australian voter can be relied upon to make the right decision . On this occasion , young Andy tells us that the Australian voter made the wrong decision . According to Andy , the LNP only lost because the voters are fools .
Today I asked Ken junior to cast his eyes over this post before publishing it . He had nothing to say , except this :-
" What are culture wars ? " , Ken junior said .
" That is a complicated question . Disruptive battles fought in the media over race , gender, ethnicity , religion , social class ..... that sort of thing . " , I said.
" Never heard of them . " , Ken junior said .
" Well you will if Peta Credlin gets her way as she fights for the return of her beloved LNP .", I said .
" That sounds like something the country really needs . " , Ken junior said.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit , but on this occasion I decided to let Ken junior's remark go through to the keeper .
Your comrade , Ken
Astute as ever Kens.
