Dave Sharma tossing out Phelps is one of the biggest wins of this election.

[Diocletian]

The Watermelon Greens not losing any seats was a bad result...seeing those dangerous idiots destroyed would've gone a long way to restoring sanity in the nation's politics...

[WilliamPowell]

where have the labor voters disappeared too?  So typical. As soon as the party suffers a devastating blow they are nowhere to be seen. Must still be crying in the corner and blaming queenslanders or others except themselves.

Phelps gone up in wentworth so that makes 75.

Certainly not crying. Disappointed in the result yes but crying definitely not.

Had a chance to improve so many things to make life better for others but the majority has "no, that's not we want" so we move on

Proud to say I stuck to the principles I have my entire life and that was not "What's in it for me " for me but what's going to be best for those who rely on us to make things better for them. So yes I voted Labour, funny though personally probably better off under the coalition but that wasn't important to me

I supported and voted  a fully funded NDIS, better deal for pensioners, better child care, better funding for schools and cancer treatments being fully covered under Medicare. Things that would make things better for others not me.

As I said the majority has said no to those things and being a democracy you accept it move on. You don't have to like it but you accept it.

This election has taught me a few things about where we sit as a nation right now.The vitriolic rants I've read on social media are scary, attacking people because they have different opinions and it is so sad. I will confess that's the most disappointing thing of all.

Argh no....

Some of the coalition side have been worse. A few things directed at me have been disgusting

What have they said to you WP?

[Diocletian]

Your personal experience isn't the whole internet...in fact it's pretty much the opposite, both sides may engage in abuse but only one does it with impunity and as seemingly standard practice...also it was fairly clear where the majority of the violence and vitriol in real life came from during the election and it wasn't the right let me tell you........

[Chuck17]

Im just glad we dont have the little union prick running the show

Did I say my personal experience was? No I didn't but the vitriol came from both sides that cannot be disputed

Funny the left says the right was worse and the right says the left was worse

I have friends on the right who copped it and I defended them

Abuse for the sake of it is just wrong from either side

Yeah but now we get Albo or Plibedud taking over. Those freaks are even more left... Imagine if they get up in a few years time.....

Tanya Plibersek has announced she is not running.


Personally I would like Penny Wong to run for Labor leader.


 

[Francois Jackson]

No surprise that tanya pulled out. Saved her husband the embarassment of his past catching up with him.

what taste she has in men. Billy Shorten and that criminal husband

[Diocletian]

While the leftists emote the rest of us just vote....

[Diocletian]

 '65's  imploding.

I agree WP.
Israel Falou has an opinion too and just posted a quote from a religious book he actually believes in but he now doesn’t have a job and if you listen to the social commentary, he is the worst person since hitler. Only because he actually believes what is says in the bible and felt to quote it on his own Instagram page to the people that follow him.

Bill Shorten using religious beliefs as an agenda bringing up the Falou post and using it to try to bring down Scomo was the worst thing I’ve ever seen in the lead up to an election. 

Like you, I’m glad to see the end Shorten and hopefully he will, like Rudd and Gillard before him,  leave politics altogether.
