We have 6 years to find out.

Wouldn't get ahead of ourselves.

Rudd was the most popular PM in history and went down like a lead balloon.

Despite the result their primary vote was still shytehouse ( & only about 2.6 % more than LNP). Has been since Gillard. 


Either way - imagine thinking we'll get to net zero in 6 years.

Lol yeah.

I mean 0 isn't achievable but if you ever wanted to get close you'd have to commit to nuclear lmao

Bandt losing his seat would definitely be a silver lining. 

As I said months ago - Labor can win being Liberal-lite but Liberals will never win trying to be Labor-lite.

Looks like you got your silver lining Dio

Brant has lost his seat, got called today

[1965]

Expect one of the Greens senators to resign so the party can nominate Bandt as their replacement.

As if it really matters... they have become by their own hand and the loss of what they once stood for an irrelevant party

Sussan Ley new Opposition Leader defeating Angus Taylor 29 votes to 25

Will interesting to see how she gets treated by her opponents, the media and the public 

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Her party being the bigger watch out…

[mightytiges]

Many in the media devastated that their side was flogged and finding out once again the vast majority of Aussies couldn't give a stuff about what these out of touch attention seeking whinging sooks think .

And these clueless media clowns are still in full on meltdown two weeks later lol and even stupidly trying to blame the preferential voting system for their mob getting flogged . They conveniently forget it was their side of politics that introduced it .

Nats and Libs to split. There goes the next election. Looking forward to 6 years of Labor rule.

[Andyy]

Wowsers.

Dark days for the right wing.

Couldn't win an election together, how tf will they win one alone?

I've no doubt before the next election there will be a reconciliation

Just to add to this current farce, one of those who voted for Ley didn't win in their electorate so should not have had a vote. At the time of the leadership ballot, the Libs didn't wait for the final votes to be counted and just assumed this candidate had won their seat  .
