Yikes, apparently the Coalition (Liberals + Nationals) had the worst results of any major party in Australia since the 1940s. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-04/election-result-labor-victory-positive-future/105247606 They even did poorly in states like Tasmania and Queensland which are typically their strongest. They really need to go back to the drawing board, reflect, and figure out how to better address the country's needs cos it's clear that Australia does not want what they currently offer. Hopefully we get a new Liberal leader with more vision and integrity than Dutton. |
They pretty much got ejected from Tasmania entirely... Which is baffling considering the fish farming debacle that's going on there that Jaqui Lambi went full noise on.
Having a Temu Trump that looks like Lord Voldermort... Was a shot in the foot for the party, stupid issues like Nuclear Energy when the country has always been Anti-Nuclear, Welcome to Country, working from home policies while opposing tax cuts, investment to health and education... Was icing on the cake.
The only thing wrong that Labor did incorrectly in the last 3 years, was a failure to provide a $275 reduction in energy bills... the dramatization was otherwise nonexistent... And that's in stark contrast to the constant drama and turmoil the USA has had to endure in just 100 days.
...And that also meant that Murdoch media (Fox, Sky News etc') had no real dirt on Labor, they could only do their childish smear campaign.
What will be interesting is if Labor can secure a 3rd term, that would be a truly historic moment.
Either way, thank you Trump for keeping Australia on track.... You helped keep a police officer who has managed to accrue millions and millions of dollars worth of assets somehow, out of power. |
Nuclear was the red line for me; I already decided not to vote Liberal due to Dutton being a piece of work and their lack of compelling policies, but their pro-nuclear stance would have cost them my vote even if I'd liked their leader and the rest of their policies.
No way in hell do I want our country to end up the next Fukushima or Chernobyl, fuck right off with that shit.
