No shit. Well the Libs have always needed the Nats to form any government so without them it would nigh on impossible to form any government. That has been in place about 40 plus years I think ?

I'd say all progressives I know in the union movement, environment/climate, social justice/civil liberties agree Dutton and the LNP lost because they went too far right.

That is a lot of people, Lupi.

I've enjoyed the election celebration parties for Tas Climate Collective, private parties and on Saturday look forward to the union movement May Day rally, street party and march! Should be on a megaphone leading chants.

Climate activists are thrilled nuclear power is consigned to the dustbin.

Unionists are thrilled unions continue to exist. Dutton intended to destroy us! Over 6 million Aus voters were contacted.

Yes! For the moment.

Happy days!

I'd like to see the hard right of the Libs form the Aus Conservative Party with the Nationals. That is what they are - rampant conservatives!

Then the few small L libs remaining ( Sharma, Wolohan, Bragg) could form a proper Liberal party , like the former British Liberals, a bit akin to the US Democrats or some of the European Social Democrats. They could join up with Teals - Helen Haines, Zali Steggall, Chaney and Allegra Spender - all with former Liberal Party ties.

The Aus Liberal Party name is a misnomer. It is inherently a right wing conservative party.

From memory they said they weren't guaranteed 4 policy positions. Breakup of supermarkets, nuclear power and a rural future fund and a communications guarantee.

And not explicitly stated but hinted at, an abandoning of net zero.

Facts are if the Libs and Nats get enough seats at an election they would form a coalition.

Good succinct summation.

There was a 5th too.
