Forums - Politics Discussion - Conservative party ousted and Labor Party elected in Australia

Congrats on ousting ScoMo. Hopefully we can do the same thing in the US with McConnell and McCarthy.

So the Shit Lite party won, but it looks like it's going to be a well hung parliament, so they'll need some support from the crossbench. Their 73MPs plus the 3 from the Greens would be just enough for a majority.

Spoiler!

Personally, my vote went to Labor/Greens.

Like a lot of Aussies I was kinda fed up with the Coalition's climate change denial, bad attitudes towards women, mistreating minorities and the disadvantaged, etc.

It's also gratifying to see the Murdoch media empire aren't all powerful after all; like with every election in my lifetime they ran a relentless smear campaign against Labor and shamelessly favored the Coalition, so seeing that fail to decide the outcome for once is nice.

Well, that's it, all seats are now decided.

Labor got 77, enough to form a majority government.

The Coalition got just 58, a very poor performance.

10 seats went to Independents, and 4 to the Greens.



The Greens and Green Lite Independents were the big winners, Climate was the BIG issue this election with 80% of Australians ranking this as a top priority, Labor scrapped in on Green/Independent preferences (Best Democratic system in the world thanks to preferential and compulsory voting), the Liberal (right wing party) were completely rejected because of their terrible climate policies

Western Australia (WA) viciously rejected the Liberal (right wing party), WA's voting ultimately changed the Federal Government

In a Preferential and Compulsory voting Democracy like in Australia every vote literally counts to the outcome

I know this is 3 months late...

But it's a legal requirement to vote in Australia. You MUST vote.
