As someone watching from the other side of the world - is this another election victory that can be chalked up to Trump?

[–] eureka@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

Looking at the Wikipedia page of election polling over time, just like Canada, there is a strong clear drop after the US inauguration.

So happy with the result this election. Hopefully a sign of elections to come!

As a Perthlet, I'm pretty happy overall. Only real disappointment is Canning; would have thought it's within Labor's grasp but currently looks like a 5% swing against Labor, even after sitting MP Andrew Hastie said we should give our mineral stockpiles to Trump to stop the tarriffs. Any Mandurah locals have some insight into the sentiment - is it the Keep The Sheep campaign maybe?

[–] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago (7 children)

Its definitely gona be Keep the Sheep for part of it. I'm surprised it wasn't more of an issue in the end.

A friend, (not a farmer), at the start of the WA election campaign was getting hot under the collar about Labor's live export ban. I said to him, "this is a minority issue, its hardly going to touch the sides in terms of political issues."

I stand by that comment, but man, they're a noisy bloody minority! They certainly made me feel i's gona have to eat my words.

The beams have crossed and Albo lost

Release the Kraken (the pre-poll votes)

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

I'll be interested to see who pops up to position themselves as the leader of whoever loses...

[–] NaevaTheRat@vegantheoryclub.org 3 points 7 months ago

Thesis please

Sky are just cutting down Dutton like he's a zombie lol

One of the dumb, slow moving ones.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Well, it's the biggest thumping we've seen in a long while and it's on him.

Jeebus, calm down ABC. It's 5% counted.
