Haven’t seen another post for election updates yet, so creating this. Share your bets on how many times Anthony Green is going to have a screen malfunction.
People of Dickson had an opportunity to do the funniest thing of all term and they took it.
You bloody rippers you <3
“I won’t mention pre-poll because people ARE drinking when I say ‘pre poll’”
Fucking LOL
Im so fucking drunk
Andrew Bolt just blamed Elon Musk for Peter Dutton not winning on Donald Trump’s platform.
Omg, that’s fucking hilarious!
This was my favourite part of tonight hahaha
I was wearing a Nazi uniform in a private Facebook post and it’s the media’s fault that the voting public found out about it. - Jacinta Price
That was some of the most twisted logic I’d ever heard.
I was wearing the hat as a joke, and four words have no meaning, but you need to take me seriously!
Wat?
She makes me sick.
Dutton was poison and deeply unpopular already in the Scomo years. Looks like people didn’t forget. I’m starting to feel some landslide vibes here early on.
Sink LNP. Bring up some socialists
Pretty big swing against him in Dickson right now. He might lose his own seat.
Did Jacinta just seriously waffle out an implied allegation that the AEC is corrupt? That’s fucking insane.
Had me raising my eyebrows too.
A solid concession speech. Can’t imagine such a speech coming from any of the Liberal party’s leaders over the last decade.
Jeez, remember Malcolm Turnbull having a drunken tantrum on election night and threatening to send the AFP after the Labor party… That was his ACCEPTANCE speech.
Agreed. I’m not a fan of Dutton but his concession speech was truth and from the heart.
Feels pretty accurate
Some senator on abc called himself a reagan republican. The man should be arrested for treason.
I implore you, as an American who has witnessed the generational devastation that has resulted from the Reagan presidency, throw anyone who says that into the middle of the fucking Pacific.
Mcgrath said that.
That was actually pretty wild for his side of politics to go that far in these times. His side of politics are fully dominated by MAGA-esque types.
He went further than what you say even, he identified himself with the Neo-libs (Reagan), and the Neo-Cons (Bush), pretty sure he even mentioned Nixon, but i can’t remember now.
Basically he identified himself with everyone from his side of Politics except the current ruling international faction, what i’ll call the Dickwads International Klan, or D.I.K.
Im glad im not the only one who noticed, very dissappointed that the panel ignored it. I thought him identifying himself as an american agent was a big fucking deal and it should have been highlighted and linked to the ass kicking.
Sky News panel all dreading that call from Rupert.
“What the FUCK did you just let happen? Was I not clear after Canada?”
I feel sorry for Dutton’s kids. They only have a choice of one out of eight properies each…
Very tough going
First screen malfunction 20 mins in. Drink!
It was the very first reveal of results!
I’d say it’s worthy of a double, but I reckon we need some restraint this early on.
Yeah honestly we couldn’t ask for a more classic start.
ABC right now: BREAKING: Peter Dutton has lost his seat in parliament
Unreal
Antony Green was right.
Look at the TAS vote when it gets to 5%, and you have your winner lol
Eat shit, Dutton. What a shit campaign those idiots ran
ABC, you are wasting your time asking policy questions…
The LNP doesn’t know. And it’s an inappropriate time to say anyways
“Let’s wait for the pre-poll” has to be on the bingo card next time.
Can replace “too close to call”
Going to have to scull my drink to catch-up.
I wonder how Gina is handling the news tonight
No mate, you aligned with trump and people can see that the ideology is poison. It’s not the “TRUMP FACTOR” if you’re wearing maga hats, talking about woke in school, and doing an Australian doge. That’s you having dogshit politics.
Congrats on taking care of your garbage.
Omg. The lamb and beef in the background. Lambie!
Missed that. Gold! 🪙
LNP narrative already kicking in.
“Not like Trump”
Dutton behind in early count!
Oh no! Anyways…
I’m so relieved.
With the size of this win, ALP could have another 9 years if they govern for the people
I think the planets kind of aligned for Labor in a way they’re unlikely to again.
I’ll take the win this time and hope for the best in three years.
There’s plenty of time for Rupert and the drop-kicks at the IPA to come up with a new strategy. Dunno if they will ever come up with anything as successful as they did in 2013, though
Well that’s the challenge right?
On the one hand, a bit disappointed that the Greens haven’t done amazingly. But I have a huge sense of relief that Dutton and the Coalition have been soundly rejected.
Yeah it’s a shame. Might be better overall for the quality of aus politics in the long run but labour has been extremely shit in some regards.
Hoping that the Senate will force some progress and the improved confidence of labor will lead to more bold policy but we shall see.
Haven’t seen senate results yet. Greens may be the ‘keep the bastards honest’ choice there
Fuck yeah. Looks like Dickson has fallen.
46% of the vote counted and Labor candidate in the lead on 57%

Good news, apparently Australia does not like politicians who align themselves with fascists
Bad news, not a minority government

Not looking good for the greens at all, I’m really surprised Melbourne has turned on them by the looks of it ?

In the lower house. Senate currently looks likely to have a Greens balance of power. www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal/…/senate

Well to be fair I have felt for a while the greens are a bit lost. It’s a very interesting result - some naval gazing needed I think

Im a humanist. The greens are too morally relativist. I wont support muslims who worship a child rapist and all the greens in my area wear head scarves. Yes i kmow you think im racist, my feminism doesnt care. Shove your islam up your ass.

Do you think it was the Israel/Palestine stance?
