Break out the popcorn and coca-cola, this should be fun.
Then Scomo to add insult to injury tries to sell his Captain's pick Deves as the voice of the downtrodden and unheard, except she is the elite of the elite and didn't say a word throughout the whole campaign! She was for the downtrodden and unheard provided they stayed invisible and unheard!
Frydenberg must be devastated, Scomo's basically thrown him under the bus to make sure the next leader is hand picked from the NSW Right, the Coalition as a result will take a further step towards the extreme right, I suppose someone called Frydenberg doesn't fit that bill!
Some irony in the ALP winning Chisholm off the Coalition given the Coalition always accuse the ALP as being in bed with China, and the ALP oust Liu in an electorate overloaded with Chinese immigrants, that's a hell of a tell that your party is on the nose!
In WA the Coalition said it would keep Hasluck, which needed a 7.%% swing to shift, and they lost it to the ALP!
If the ALP can form a government they probably have 2 or 3 consecutive terms now to see out, because it's going to take a massive swing to make the Coalition relevant again!
I feel sorry for many grass roots Liberals, their party has been hijacked by closet fundamentalists and general public and the Teal has seen through it! The ALP is no better, it's infiltrated by secret eco-terrorists, neither party has any remaining purity.
The big winners are the Independents, that is until they expose themselves for what they really are, because there is a huge difference between getting elected while keeping a secret agenda, and making that agenda public to enact it as policy!

The high court agrees!

There was some type of loophole that allowed them to keep the name for this election.

Not that I'd like to vote again, but it would be fitting for neither party to convincingly win this one.

Always happy to go with science and progressive thinking, more concerned we have inexperienced members of Parliament with concentration in one area only ie climate change and no other policies and when you look at the Greens website for example their idea of funding their ideas is just to tax the wealthiest Australians which is high school economics.
Would prefer Labor govern in their own right than have to deal and make bargains with these one policy parties who lack a grasp of the big picture and have these simplistic views.
Save the planet by all means but getting the wealthy to pay more tax when they pay little anyway won't work, been tried as recently as with Biden in the USA and scrapped just as quickly.
My daughter is a RN so I know all about women being abused in the workplace, underpaid and undervalued and I'll be happy to cheer and vote for Albo, Penny and crew if they can fix those problems...but I won't be holding my breath.

One arrogant prick gone, one more to go in November.

The 'Teal' independents are an interesting group.
In general terms they appear to be highly intelligent, professional women at the top of their game.
Their future outside of politics would be very successful and lucrative.
Do we see these folks as 20-30 year politicians like many of the traditional members of parliament.
I kind of doubt that, but I may be wrong.
Are they there for a short term impact to push their stated agendas, and what happens in a situation where they aren't in a position to have impact on government decisions.
With the aid of the Green independents the Government wont necessarily need their votes, rendering them largely irrelevant to the decision making process.

Are the liberal national party really a bunch of right wing fascist Bible promoters who hate women?
Thats the theory according to some on here.
In reality they don't even look moderately right. They are just further right from Labor (who similarly are centrist).

Too many compromises, not enough action, bureaucracy eternally crippled by never ending political discourse.

Scomo lost many of us with his "God's Will" approach to the natural disasters a couple of years back, his inaction was abhorrent! Perrottet is basically an extension of fundamentalist Christian view points, and while Guy might have sacked one or two for fundamentalist views make no mistake they were sacked for being the ones who spoke out not the ones with the odd one off beliefs!
A lot of Dan Haters carry on about the fascism of the lockdowns, which may have actually saved some lives, but they say little about the people that are still living in tents and caravans from the fires back in 2019/20, a total lack of action under the watch of people like Scomo, Craig Kelly and a host of then Coalition others!
