"Labor Senator Murray Watt says Barnaby Joyce shouldn't be Acting PM. Who the hell is Murray Watt? Barnaby will be Acting PM next week. Murray should worry about acting as a real Senator. Like see actual constituents & be relevant. At the moment its Watt by name, who by nature."
George Christensen kicks off this year's Ehrlich Awards for Wrong Predictions with the above piece of banter dated 15 February. In fact, Barnaby Joyce took leave for the week following the comment, and was not Acting PM, and soon after stood down as Nationals leader and Deputy PM as well. This one sets the tone for a year in which a common theme was Coalition MPs or sympathisers expecting that pretty much anything would go right for their side of politics. I'd include more left-wing failed predictions for balance, but this year I just haven't seen that many. Feel free to add more examples I have missed in comments.
