Yep, considering Shorten shot himself in the foot and should have won, these sort of majorities can reverse in 2 terms.
On the proviso that the opposition is decent that is, which the Libs showing no signs atm of this. They are a shambles and going to lurch further right while the Teals eat away at the old traditional centre right voters.
The Age reporting Samantha Ratnam has lost in her attempt to win Wills
Thank god for that
Thatās been fairly obvious since election night I think.
Greg Mirabella was listed fifth on the VIC Senate card. Only thing that achieved was annoying people.
Howard was the worst PM ever imo. He made us mean, gave us the āotherā spent like a drunken sailor.
Did one good thing and that was gun reform.
Everything changes
The history wars and Keith Windleschutt ( sp). The black armband of history.
This, after the Tampa.
A precursor to Trump.
I think you know thatās nonsense, LNP did that to themselves, actively, obviously, in bad faith, idiotically.
Clearly not to the greens who were still claiming they will win it yesterday
Thatās an odd take. Most IND have held their seat, and a few are giving good contests in LNP and ALP seats.
Fremantle, Bean, Forrest, Bradfield, a gain in Calare, Monash off the top of my head.
And yet today this bloke is out on the streets and all chummy with Duttz and Humesy.
I assume you mean BFās take?
Correct.
Yeah, theyāre still propagandising pretty hard, but the result was obvious to anyone who cared to look.
ABC calling it for ALP in Wills, although Khalil isnāt yet and Greens not conceding l
Noā¦thatās just wrong.
The Conservative Media (and Dutton to a lesser extent) pushed for an Oz version of Trumpian politics.
Albanese never mentioned him.
With a federal election year under way and the Albanese government desperate to restart Laborās flagging political prospects, Trumpās victory had emboldened conservatives in the Coalition and rightwing minor parties. Along with sections of the Australia media, they pushed for a version of Trumpās unapologetic politics here.
Sensing a shift to the right across the electorate, Peter Dutton and the Coalition finalised policies to slash the federal public service and root out āwokeā ideology in schools and social policy. They fine-tuned messages about the Indigenous welcome to country and accused Labor of dangerous overreach in the transition to renewable energy.
Appeals to fringes or combovers to be correct
Sorry Bill but that is crap. Little Johhny told us we were going to be swamped by asians, Little Johhny sent the military on a refugee boat with guns pointed to try to dramatise and make us afraid near an election.
Little Johnny coined the prahse , we will decide who comes you our country and the circunstances under which they will come.
Little johhny orchestrated children overboard lies to make us hate refugees
Little johhny was a dead set little c%*t
Albanese was astute, did not diss Trump or Trumpism at any time. We have our national interest at stake. It paid off with Trumpās nice words, the fact that Trump rang him so soon after the event.
Also to to note what was posted about Australia on the Commemoration of the Battle of the Coral Sea.
As Paul Kelly said, we arenāt Canada. The Trump effect was far less here. Unfortunately for the Libs they started off Trump style, then had to try and distance themselves ( like Jacinta Price)
And he didnt tell us we were in danger of being swamped by trumps
