once WA results come in

big call to hope for left wind redemption from the sandgropers...

I have no sympathy for Abbott, whatever happens.

No surprises here.

He lost me with his RU486 stance, and unlike most of you - I lived in his electorate for 20 years and he lost my vote during this time.

There is always a bright side

Perhaps, I don't know enough about local politics there to know if it is a factor, but the good news is I am not nor was I ever hoping for left wing redemption, so it suits me quite fine either way

No surprises here.

He lost me with me with his RU486 stance, and unlike most of you - I lived in his electorate for 20 years and he lost my vote during this time.

I just thought he was incredibly divisive and did an enormous disservice to his party.

Has Sportsbet paid out too soon?

Polls of the few can mislead.
The Senate will be a mess as expected.
It is 3.45 am here in California and we are watching and listening to the ABC coverage.

Great politician, IMO. But his religious views overwhelmed all things ..... pity, some people have a problem reading these things.

Tax, Tax, Tax is not the winner some thought it would be...

Keeping up with what's happening. That's impressive.

Penny doesn’t look very happy....

 

[amaroo]

We’ve lost Penny .... and a few others

George says thanks - I’ve gotta catch a Tiger to Manila, celebrations Phillo style

74-66 ABC

 

[rogerkambah]

Interesting to see how it is being called between commentators.
ABC calls L/NP 74 ALP 66
WIN calls L/NP 69 ALP 57

Think I'll watch ABC now.

 

[amaroo]

ABC presenters look absolutely miserable .... for some reason I can’t post a smile..... but rest assured I’m smiling!

Back to the original as it's confirmed: Antony Green has called it for the LNP.

Stopped the boats has worked - champion campaigner, 7 elections won on less than 2% margin. Not many can say that - well done Dutton.

To me looks like Coalition 76 plus needing 1 crossbench. Will Zali be the one.

Senate is definitely more interesting.
35 for the Coalition probably best case so in general needing 4+ votes from
Bernardi
2 One Nation
2 Centre Alliance
Lambie

Nope, won't be much movement here I think.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out if the economy continues to weaken.

Shorten will be gone.

Dutton? Failed at the takeover as PM but I suppose cunning as a sh*thouse rat. I am sorry to see him back.
I suppose we get the government we deserve and fits in with general global movements IMO.
