My thoughts on the outcomes of the election:
Cons:
- Listening to a blubbering Scott Morrison for another 3 years
- Environment will suffer. Coal will be pushed and subsidised to keep up with renewables.
- Reassured Murdoch that he is indeed a kingmaker
- My electorate of Farrer showed that, despite being so displeased of things, they're still happy to stick with the same candidate.
Pros:
- No more of the wrecker (Tony Abbott). Conservative Liberals put on notice.
- Clive got 0 senate seats. that gives him a LOT less leverage over the LNP. As you can see, he's already trying to claim that the Liberals were screwed without him, hoping to get some favours done.
- If the Liberals fabricated a phony forecast surplus, they'll be held accountable to it now. No use blaming Labor, as their usual tactic
- Opens potential for Labor to be lead by a more likeable candidate.
- Our neighbouring electorate of Indi made history by electing another independent from a retiring independent. Already putting pressure on the Morrison government for those election promises, too
