Alright, folks, buckle up, because the 'teal' wave is thinking about morphing into a full-blown political party. Zali Steggall, bless her heart, is whining about how the system is 'rigged' against independents because, you know, rules and regulations. Apparently, she thinks campaign finance laws are unfair. Newsflash: life ain't fair, snowflake. But I digress.

Steggall is basically saying that because she can't compete with the big boys (and girls) on campaign donations, she wants to create her own little safe space party. It's like a participation trophy, but for politicians. 'Everyone gets a seat at the table, even if they can't raise enough money to buy a coffee!'

But here's the kicker: not all the other 'independent' types are on board. Seems some of them actually like being, you know, independent. Monique Ryan, Helen Haines, and Kate Chaney are all saying, 'Nah, we're good. We'll stick to representing our actual constituents instead of becoming cogs in the Teal Machine.'

Former PM Malcolm Turnbull, who is basically the patron saint of Never Trumpers, chimed in to say there's a 'vacuum for an alternative center party'. Yeah, a vacuum filled with virtue-signaling and climate alarmism. No thanks, Malcolm. We're good on the 'center'. How about a little bit of actual conservatism for a change?

This whole thing reeks of desperation. The 'teal' independents rode a wave of anti-Liberal sentiment and Climate 200 money to get into parliament. Now that the tide is turning, they're scrambling to stay relevant. And what better way to do that than by forming a party that can whine about the 'rigged' system together?

Let's be real: this isn't about making Australia better. It's about power. Steggall and her band of 'teal' merry men (and women) want more influence, more control, and more taxpayer money. And they're willing to sacrifice their supposed 'independence' to get it.

So, the next time you hear about the 'teal' party, remember what it really is: a bunch of disgruntled politicians trying to game the system for their own benefit. And if you're a true conservative, you should be running in the opposite direction.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go grill a steak and watch some Fox News. Because that's what real Australians do.
