That's a quick win init?

Time to start getting some proper work done for the average person. This is their chance to consolidate. I don't believe in it as they open themselves to disappointing people even more but good luck to them.

bit like sydney vs city tonight. Thought it would be tight and epic with the favourit (labour+city) to get up only to be a damp squib

It is probably worth pointing out that albanese is the only prime minister that isn't of an ethnicity from the brittish isles. Found that stat out after reading Gorman's book and my jaw dropped. I'm not asking for diversity for the sake of diversity, but hopefully we see more non anglo prime ministers

its not a sport

they didn't do anything to win in fact there's a swing away from them

the Liberals betrayed their base

Dutton going to lose his seat by the looks. Resign and never return. That goes for a lot of people from many parties tonight!

It's funny with my Hungarian family name that even on the Central Coast it didn't stand out that much. We had an English PE teacher come over one change and when he went through the roll he remarked at all the European surnames there.

I find it interesting how plenty of German, Dutch, Scandinavian and Polish surnames seemed to just warp into society with people barely batting and eyelid or even realising its roots.

I love our national team squad when you go through the names. No better representation.

most multicultural team in the country

Alas, it'll be interesting to see the question raised about the swing away from Labor overall. I'm still monoriting numbers but that seems a lot of smaller groups got votes this time.

Victory is celebrated and often the question about being less popular than last time is brushed off.

the Liberals betrayed their base

The libs listened to Sky after dark and the hard right in their party and lost all the moderate and central liberals.

And where did they all go? To the teals and independents because they were never going to vote for Labor.

I said the same thing last election and was proved right.

If Dutton and whoever the next opposition is want to parrot more of Trump's garbage and Sky rubbish then they'll get more of the same next election.

if only you knew, how much irony is in this post

in your case, its garbage in garbage out

Fuck you are stupid.

Looking at ABS it's understandable a post covid spike will be felt with a lull in infrastructure development.

Yes and is disingenuous for people to crap on about immigration when both sides are, in my opinion, bringing too many people in.

I agree the intake needs to be scaled back. At least until we catch up with infrastructure.

Having said that our economy is built on perpetual growth and given the birth rate is below replacement rate immigration is the only lever they have.

I didn't realise the ALP also were advocating for nuclear energy

Why the major parties won't discuss cutting immigration...​

ABC have called it, Dutton's lost his electorate and the Coalition are now leaderless going into the next election cycle.
