Love that Trump Lite is no longer in parliament. Not that he ever should have been in the first place - open and unapologetic racists don't belong in existence, let alone politics.

Disappointed that Bridget Archer lost her seat. As the only Liberal with any functioning brain cells whatsoever, she'd have been someone to build a proper, functioning opposition around. The names being out forward as the next opposition leader are appalling.

Here's hoping Albo and co take this as a sign to get on with it and start taking us forward. It would be good if Albo got over his issues with Plibersek and brought her back into the fold, too.

Agree with all of that

Though be interesting to see if the big swing to labor in the house has any knock on effect in the senate.

Labor needs to be able to get legislation through without the coalition blocking everything and the greens being their usual all or nothing selves (never had any time for them since voting against the CTS when rudd was P.M)

If anything I think this election was a slap in the face to the Liberals and Greens.

Andrew Bolt "The voters got it wrong" WTF?


Andrew Bolt and rest of those people - are just out of touch with Australians at the moment. We don't want that type of government.

Feeling good this morning. Sick of the conservative trolls on facebook - so I am ignoring it for a few hours.
 
^ They are just complaining and saying was rigged and other BS. Sore losers basically.

Saw this that made me laugh going around social media -
Sounds like trump’s poisonous influence.

Probably claim the votes where altered and that’s why pencils get used (same bullshit spread was spread here).

Never mind that representatives from the parties check all the votes as they are accounted.

I took FarceBook off my phone last week. I don't need that mental toxicity in my life.

I did that for a while a few months ago. Should do it again. I found I slept pretty good. But do like having there on my phone, as quite often I'll look it in the morning after I wake up - to see if there are any notifications.

Watching the fall out has been funny. So many sooks. Frankly I am trying to do other things right now with my time.

So fascinating to see everyone having a big sook over the election result. John Howard's so called "quiet Australians" haha not so quiet when their side got thumped
 
^ Pretty much. Some of things I seen said - I just roll my eyes too. From suggestions that it was rigged or saying we are now a Communist country. Idiots.

Plibersek's pro-environment legislation was torpedoed more by Albanese than either the coalition or the Greens. He was more worried about what the WA premier thought (and not being seen to give the Greens a "win") than doing something positive for the environment. That sort of crap has to stop.

Anyway, we dodged a bullet. Thank God. Hopefully we can go forward from here. And hopefully we'll have a proper, functioning opposition sooner rather than later. A proper, functioning democracy needs one.

Apparently the Palmer creature reckons he's "too old" for politics and this election was the last one for him. We can but hope. As for the Rinehart bitch calling for for more "Trump policies" for Australia...perhaps she can fuck off and live in the US. She can drag her kids through court from anywhere, after all. Another completely odious creature.
 
Left media??? She has Murdoch, Stokes and Fairfax on her side! Pffft! Did you see her address to the Mining Council Xmas Dinner? FriendlyJordies did a long vid on it, worth watching for the sheer delusion.
