Liberals win the battle, but lose the war


While rusted-on Coalition voters played a significant role in sinking the voice, Saturday’s referendum vote reinforces the sense that the contemporary Liberal party has decoupled from its blue-ribbon metropolitan heartland. Seats now held by the teal independents rallied for yes.

“I was surprised, having looked at a lot of campaign data and polling data out of Yes23 – I’m surprised by how strongly the teal seats have gone yes,” Jackman says. “I wasn’t expecting [a percentage in the 60s] in Wentworth in particular. That’s a staggering result. It’s going to rock back on their heels Liberals who think [the teals phenomenon] is a protest vote and those electorates will get over it and come home. They are not coming home. None of this is helping Peter Dutton in those seats.”

Thank god the majority of Australia were awake to Labor’s racially divisive Australia policy

Albo has been caught out for the fool he is and now must go

How did you find it divisive? Other than idiots getting upset with one another because they can't discuss anything without losing their cools.

Something like this shouldnt be divisive at all if people can be reasonable and mature about it

Are you for real? In the middle of a cost of living crisis and he wasted 450 million dollars on something that was never going to win. Have a look at the WA situation and the back pedaling that went on earlier this year.

You think that's not going to cause unrest? He failed miserably from the outset.

Warrine Mundine summed it up perfectly when he said wake up to yourselves.

The teal seats were never going anywhere. It just showed how stupid the the airhead was was when he focused on smith st collingwood and not  on Smith St Melton as I read the other day. The suburbs are where it's alt. You know every day people doing their balls in this climate.

The war is in the outer suburbs now and also a place called QLD and WA.
Tell us how the chook is going up there?

He should follow the QLD chook and lead by example.

Time to go Airhead albo

I'm not happy about the $450mil.

But how is the proposal itself divisive?

People can agree to disagree, sure, but words like apartheid are laughable. Poor comparison and silly rhetoric.

[WilliamPowell]

I am very confused in the highly reputable The Australian says the referendum only cost $350 mil not $450 million

Murdoch media is always right isn't it

If your Mundine comment is from the presser the other night his "wake up to yourselves "comment was in relation to the line of questioning towards Sen Price

Wasting your time engaging the ALCCP automaton - his pre-programmed responses aren't equipped to deal with inconvenient truths.

I seen it as divisive in that we were creating rules in the constitution for one set of Australians and not another.

I see all of us as Australians.

[Francois Jackson]

A fact many including some on here just can't seem to comprehend Chuck.

I don't even remember anyone calling out slowbo for this complete and utter waste of money and time, but as has been suggested money waste goes hand in hand with this mob so I'm really not surprised. 

The funniest comments from these bed wetters I have seen is from from the Sydney mayor who said it was a trump style election based on misinformation. Even slowbo can't let it go.

Just proves how the alp treat outer suburban voters these days, and I'm guessing they won't forget.

The  fat chook in qld must be feeling very nervous up there now.

I agree we are all Aussies. Constitution was only to acknowledge indigenous Aussies as the first Aussies and the voice was just encouragement for them to engage with the government to improve their outcomes which are extraordinary poor compared to the rest of us.

I still don't see the divisiveness that you're referring to.....

Well at least we know where you got that figure from now. 

You must have a few Murdoch subscriptions going on WP. Foxtel, Australian this and that.   

I do laugh at those Murdoch anti stooges  who obsess about him yet seem to know where all his information is all the time.

Don't subscribe to any of them. Saw the the quote from the Australian on the platform formerly known as Twitter yesterday

Have cancelled Foxtel and saw the Qld equivalent of the HUN on Saturday at my nephew's house

My post was purely sarcastic but clearly lost, oh well should have used more than this 

And used this

Can’t even answer a simple question the petulant child

He really is a rotten piece of poo. An absolute fraud

Must go
