That would be a particularly bad take from the events of the day...

traditional liberal voters have deserted them in those seats
Nationals have done pretty well as no teals or Holmes a court in those seats

I saw her campaigning at the train station one morning on my way to work. A bit of alright in person.

liberals ran dead in fowler to give Le a chance to win
strange times

I think Frydenburg is about to apply for job seeker..

They didn't desert them for more conservative candidates they deserted them for people who were less conservative than the position of the Coalition. So taking a big old jump to the right is not the way to get them back. Get back to the somewhere around the middle where major parties belong. Also, no proper integrity commission was a stupid hill to die on.

What odds you give Albo to be PM at the next election?

No idea mate. They have to do a good job first. I'm surprised the voters swung so much. I think climate change is an important issue now and it's a tough one to manage.

Were all in trouble with the Greens.

They'll confiscate everything and tell us what to eat.

My take is the liberal party has to move with the times.

I reckon they just pivot slightly and make themselves responsible environmental managers as well. We are small government (therefore small taxes), liberal values (no religious crap) and responsible environmental managers.

I reckon if you go down the religious conservative route you are gone for good. I think that was part of the reason you were voted against in this election. That motivated me to vote Labor.

I don't think there is one single lesson from the election, different demographics are sending different messages. Formerly safe Liberal seats in places like North Sydney falling over, but then an outer-suburban former swing seat like Lindsay (Penrith) has become safer Liberal. The Greens picked up seats in SE Queensland, but Katter's party had a swing to it in north Queensland. The make up of the Senate will be interesting.

This is my take as well.

Yeah,

They've made their money now they want to pretend they have a social conscience so as to look cool during dinner parties in their patios lol.

It's all BS.

Tree tories.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

a

At least Keneally got rolled
the moderate liberal like Sharma got beat
liberals need to get rid of sharma and Wilson Zimmerman and get back to conservative values

They're the liberal party. Should be more of those. The liberal party was never intended to be a conservative party. It's in the name.

Don't think the Greens had an Indue card in their policies.

 

[gallagher]

I'm not disappointed the cult member got the boot.

 

[TillLindemann]

Clive looks to have spent a fortune on advertising for absolutely zero result once again.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

What is extremely disappointing is the 6% swing against Morrison in Cook, the electorate that I live in. What is wrong with people in the Shire surely the swing should have been much larger?

All we've done is replace one shit party with another shit party..

That's because all it succeeds in doing is advertising how stupid he is. Absolute muppet.

Core Green ideology is very very dangerous, a type of communism.

They'll be taking their orders from overseas as well.
