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.
Over already. There goes my plans for the evening!

Nice baby jail. I see most parents eventually realise you can’t contain your child, but you can cordon off the electronics! Luckily we’re past that stage now.

Yoo, nice result. Shout outs from Canada.
Nolvamia@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Mmmm. Roasted potato.

Christopher Pyne saying this might be worst result since party creation with less than a third of all seats.

Dutton is hiding! What a coward!

This long after sundown too, usually he’s hungry.

I feel a bit sorry for the LNP guy on the ABC panel.
I think they should allow a tag team, and switch in somebody fresh
PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone 1 day ago
James is mad.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
To be fair, I wouldn’t enjoy being him over the next hour.
There’s really nothing that he can possibly say at this time other than “Lets wait for more votes to come in.”

Jim is starting to look smug. I would too.

Furious too

As a Perthlet, I’m pretty happy overall. Only real disappointment is Canning; would have thought it’s within Labor’s grasp but currently looks like a 5% swing against Labor, even after sitting MP Andrew Hastie said we should give our mineral stockpiles to Trump to stop the tarriffs. Any Mandurah locals have some insight into the sentiment - is it the Keep The Sheep campaign maybe?
ziltoid101@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Actually, now that I dig deeper, I see that Canning has an 8% swing to One Nation, dayum…
Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Its definitely gona be Keep the Sheep for part of it. I’m surprised it wasn’t more of an issue in the end.
A friend, (not a farmer), at the start of the WA election campaign was getting hot under the collar about Labor’s live export ban. I said to him, “this is a minority issue, its hardly going to touch the sides in terms of political issues.”
I stand by that comment, but man, they’re a noisy bloody minority! They certainly made me feel i’s gona have to eat my words.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Here in Albany those fucking keep the sheep signs are everywhere, a noisy minority indeed.
Personally I’m not sympathetic. Farmers just have a lot of tax concessions. It’s been plain to see for years that live export was going to stop sooner or later. If you were exposed to that risk, well, you should have taken action to manage it.
ziltoid101@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Durack has a 7% swing away from Labor (against the trend of the whole state), I think it’s safe to say that Keep The Sheep was successful in regional areas. However it doesn’t seem to have had much effect in the metro, aside from Canning if you include that.

Huff the copium my boy. Huff

If the ex-ABC presenter in Franklin wins the seat off the ALP candidate, will the LNP become pro ABC?
PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone 1 day ago
ABC no longer the hate media, you heard it here first.

Sky has crossed to Tony Abbott
The beams have crossed and Albo lost
dockedatthewrongworf@aussie.zone 1 day ago
So happy with the result this election. Hopefully a sign of elections to come!
gedhrel@lemmy.world 1 day ago
As someone watching from the other side of the world - is this another election victory that can be chalked up to Trump?
RomulusAugustus@lemmy.world 1 day ago
With this kind of a swing, and the opposition leader losing his seat, it does seem that way, at least in part. But many people don’t like Dutton either I think.
gedhrel@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Just wish the Labour party in the UK would learn from this rather than triangulating with Farage’s fucking racist bullshit.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Our progressive party probably would have creaked through to a minority victory but this is a historic victory and we have brutalised the conservatives, and that’s due to Trump.
GiovanniBruzzolini@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I think Trump was a contribution. The conservative opposition were leading the polls but lost their mojo in the last couple of months
eureka@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Looking at the Wikipedia page of election polling over time, just like Canada, there is a strong clear drop after the US inauguration.

“Lets just wait for the numbers to come in”
Yeah fuck off James. No one likes a sore loser.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
I’m abso-fucking-lutely stoked at this result…
… but how have they called it already with only 2 seats declared ?
veroxii@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Maths and statistics
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Sure but wouldn’t those same maths and statistics allow electorates to be called?
I think maybe the ABC’s website coverage is stuck.
No1@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Fake maths and statistics and science and facts!
Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 day ago
The libs were already not in government and combined with a huge swing against them and no real gains means pretty clear it’s over quickly
veroxii@aussie.zone 1 day ago
And there the ABC call is.
veroxii@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Sky officially called it as well.
No1@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Did this new ABC guy white ant Antony Green?
I’m so pissed off for Antony!
Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Briggs? I tuned in late, what happened?
veroxii@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Screen still down. Lol
PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Pen and paper like the good old times.
No1@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I like that they are showing appropriate respect talking about Peter Dutton picking up a seat.
He may not even hold his own.
No1@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Some of the ABC commentators sound like they can’t finish their sentences because they are full on having an orgasm lol
