Haven't seen another post for election updates yet, so creating this. Share your bets on how many times Anthony Green is going to have a screen malfunction.
Good news, apparently Australia does not like politicians who align themselves with fascists
Bad news, not a minority government
Not looking good for the greens at all, I'm really surprised Melbourne has turned on them by the looks of it ?
In the lower house. Senate currently looks likely to have a Greens balance of power. https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal/2025/results/senate
Beware the propaganda.
Well to be fair I have felt for a while the greens are a bit lost. It's a very interesting result - some naval gazing needed I think
People of Dickson had an opportunity to do the funniest thing of all term and they took it.
You bloody rippers you <3
On Sky, Andrew Bolt just blamed Elon Musk for Peter Dutton not winning on Donald Trump's platform.
I just can't....
"I won't mention pre-poll because people ARE drinking when I say 'pre poll'"
Fucking LOL
I was wearing a Nazi uniform in a private Facebook post and it’s the media’s fault that the voting public found out about it. - Jacinta Price
That was some of the most twisted logic I'd ever heard.
I was wearing the hat as a joke, and four words have no meaning, but you need to take me seriously!
WAT?
Dutton was poison and deeply unpopular already in the Scomo years. Looks like people didn't forget. I'm starting to feel some landslide vibes here early on.
Sink LNP. Bring up some socialists
Did Jacinta just seriously waffle out an implied allegation that the AEC is corrupt? That's fucking insane.
Some senator on abc called himself a reagan republican. The man should be arrested for treason.
A solid concession speech. Can't imagine such a speech coming from any of the Liberal party's leaders over the last decade.
Jeez, remember Malcolm Turnbull having a drunken tantrum on election night and threatening to send the AFP after the Labor party... That was his ACCEPTANCE speech.
I feel sorry for Dutton's kids. They only have a choice of one out of eight properies each...
Very tough going
Sky News panel all dreading that call from Rupert.
"What the FUCK did you just let happen? Was I not clear after Canada?"
ABC right now: BREAKING: Peter Dutton has lost his seat in parliament
Unreal
Antony Green was right.
Look at what's going on with the TAS vote when it gets to 5%, and you have your winner lol
I wonder how Gina is handling the news tonight
On the one hand, a bit disappointed that the Greens haven't done amazingly on results so far. But I have a huge sense of relief that Dutton and the Coalition have been soundly rejected.
Eat shit, Dutton. What a shit campaign those idiots ran
🤯
ABC, you are wasting your time asking policy questions...
The LNP doesn't know. And it's an inappropriate time to say anyways
No mate, you aligned with trump and people can see that the ideology is poison. It's not the "TRUMP FACTOR" if you're wearing maga hats, talking about woke in school, and doing an Australian doge. That's you having dogshit politics.
Congrats on taking care of your garbage.
Dutton behind in early count!
Oh no! Anyways...
I'm so relieved.
Fuck yeah. Looks like Dickson has fallen.
46% of the vote counted and Labor candidate in the lead on 57%
With the size of this win, ALP could have another 9 years if they govern for the people
I think the planets kind of aligned for Labor in a way they're unlikely to again.
I'll take the win this time and hope for the best in three years.
There's plenty of time for Rupert and the drop-kicks at the IPA to come up with a new strategy. Dunno if they will ever come up with anything as successful as they did in 2013, though
If Antony's computer is down for the rest of the night, does that count as one drink, or do we need to drink each time they cross to him?
Asking for a friend. My poor liver.
Man by the way they go on you'd think the greens had been in government.
