Bye bye Scomo

[GoldfishMan]

Liberals have lost the election. They’ve lost key seats to independents and Labour.
Looks like Frydenberg might even lose his own seat, sad outcome for a sitting treasurer really.

Dutton has lost his as well.
The swing to Independent and Green is showing that a lot of people are utterly sick of the nonsense we've put up with from both parties.

They lost majority sydney eastern suburbs vote when they implemented light rails, and cutting some important buses route for commuter.

Last local area election, I could not find liberal on the paper.

[asiafever]

Labor aren't without their lessons, kicking out Tu Le to replace her with Kristina Keneally, who wouldn't fucking know where Cabramatta or Fairfield is let alone represent the constituents, being beaten, or given a massive scare at the very least, by Dai Le hopefully stops this ridiculous parachuting of white candidates.

[asiafever]

Dutton might retain now. Early on he was right up against it.

[gimmesome]

The lack of centralised leadership and power might make it a bit harder for the Murdoc BS machine to smear a single person.

[rooter]

Dutton might retain now. Early on he was right up against it.

He won his seat and he will go for the Liberal leadership.
That will guarantee the Liberals will stay in opposition :)
Liberals will implode after this election loss.
The loss of their crown jewel seats in the posh suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne will really hurt them.
Will be a civil war in the party that has been brewing for years and was only suppressed because they were in government.
In opposition the knives will be sharpened and come out. It will be a bloodbath.

Correct. Will be a bloodbath you'd think.

[woodland]

Attack dog Dutton would be worse than Scomo.

[Raybo]

I am happy that finally, Australia is looking like we are moving from 2 party politics.

[priapus1966]

It's kinda ironic that the Libs lost seats because they basically adopted policies of the Nationals but it cost the Nationals nothing. I hope the Libs have the gumption to operate as an independent party in opposition and leave the Nats to their own devices.

[GoldfishMan]

I am happy that finally, Australia is looking like we are moving from 2 party politics.
No way that’s gonna happen. The entire democratic system would have to be revamped. For example, the majority government concept, passing new legislation in parliament, all that stuff would have to be reworked.

[warwick1]

Well Australia has it's own Joe Biden, we are fucked..The people smugglers are selling tickets as we speak...

[Sswilighy]

Dutton has lost his as well.

I love the idea of independents.

But I don’t like the idea that a few independents now control the entire Australia when the majority didn’t vote for them. The whole system needs an overhaul.

I love greens as well but I don’t love any party including greens who feels like you can just hand away free money. So people not realise we need to pay for all this spending somehow. You can’t just start taxing people.

Totally agree mate, but it at least be entertaining to watch!

Sunday morning and we wake up to Morrison and his corrupt Liberal cronies finally out of office.
A great day for Australia and a great day to be Australian.
That scumbag was unfit to be the leader of our beautiful country.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
It’s a beautiful day!
And great to see the obnoxious Kristina Keneally told to fuck off by the people of Western Sydney.
Again good riddance to bad rubbish!
A “fuck you” delivered to Keneally and the arseholes in ALP Head Office from the people of Western Sydney.
Congratulations Dai Le, the peoples candidate and peoples choice.
Democracy is a beautiful thing when it works the way it is meant to.

Yeah seeing KK eating humble pie was quite satisfying. The voters sure spanked them good. Chris Owens must be telling them “I told you so!”.

Now would Scomo resign his sit after his Government lost.

Let's have a Libs blood bath and in the wilderness for a decade. Losing most states big. Now NSW Libs will have a big lost next year as we see in other States.

[Vader]

For me the positives are KK got done and interest rates will rise quicker.

[dotcumdotinyou]

The problem Albo now faces is that to get his policies into legislation he has to get the co-operation of the greens and/or the independents so the back room dealing will be a constant thorn in his side. He'd probably be better dealing with the teal independents as at the moment they seem a bit better than the looney left greens.

The big problem for the libs is that they've lost a lot of the moderates in this election so naturally they'll move further to the right. Liberal head office has to start today to pick new LOCAL candidates and get them working the hustings every day until the next election if they have any chance at all at the next election.

They're making the GG earn his pay as he has to swear in Albo, Penny Wong and the Deputy PM today as he and Penny have to leave for the AUCUS meeting tomorrow and you have to be officially sworn in to represent or lead the country.

[OLD SNAKE]

Australia needed the change, after dealing with a weak narrow-minded government, that allowed the states to imprission and criminalise unvaccinated people standing up for their rights,
i hope they start criminal investigations into the amount of corruption that took place during this time, Especially into the Politicians that took kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies for imposing mandates that raised stock prices,
Gladis we all know Optus is paying your kickback under the table from the Singapore Government who heavily invested into Pfizer BioNTech

[Vader]

Albo reminds me of Mr Haney from Green Acres. I think he will be a failure with the dopes he has on the front bench. The trouble now is that we don't have a strong opposition. It will be a rocky road ahead, I am glad that I am set up well.

[GoldfishMan]

So what specific policies did we all vote for that are going to set us up for success as a society over the next decade and more?
For me, it was more about what I did Not vote for. I did not vote for a Gov whose only strategy for tackling the housing crisis was to let you use your own future money to pay for a house, the price of which will certainly rise by the same amount. It will, you don’t need to be a genius to figure it out. Take a look at what happened to property prices when SMSFs were allowed to purchase investment properties.

That’s got to be the most amazingly stupid idea I’ve ever heard. Fix a demand and supply issue, by increasing the demand!

[GoldfishMan]

Would have made very little difference to the housing market as superannuation balances are so low in the first home owner home bracket and rules around access and return would end up meaning very few could use it and house prices wouldn’t catch a sneeze from it.

But anyway - still curious to know if, as voters, we are clear on what specific policies we voted for and how they are going to make a difference.

I disagree. For one thing, the fact that they could propose such a solution tells me that their general approach to fixing the problem is to throw more money at it. This time it’s the super, next it could be some other source of funding. Salary sacrifice? Increase the super limit to tap into? The population will end up being enslaved to the banks, with ever growing mortgage debts that would never be paid off.

The other thing is you might think 50k was a small amount compared to the price of property, but that’s the amount people can use for only the deposit, not the full price. That means the impact of adding that 50k is almost certainly not going to be just an increase of 50k on the full price of the property, it could be a lot more than that depending on borrowing capacity, etc.

[Vader]

I agree it’s a bullshit solution.

But what do you think of the labor solution and the comparative impact?

Labor's solution would have exactly the same impact on prices. Plus there will be more pressure on housing when they increase immigration.

[GoldfishMan]

I agree it’s a bullshit solution.

But what do you think of the labor solution and the comparative impact?

Labour doesn’t even have a solution, ROFL. That idea where the Gov will take on a percentage of the debt will never be implemented. Too radical an idea with no technical framework to support it. How is it going to be implemented? A government bond type of thing, or are the banks going to need to put a process in place where the Gov is somehow one of the borrowers in a mortgage? How does the debt get paid off, in what sequence, government portion first?

So my opinion is their solution is a non-solution. The property market will continue as market forces dictate. Like I said, they were simply the lesser of two evils.

[Ziggurat]

Before the election Dai Le said that "win or lose I'm staying in Fowler beyond the election" and asked whether Kristina would too. "Yes, of course" Kristina claimed. Mind you, she had already covered her bases by renting a short term lease. I'm thinking that instead of enduring the flambeau of a western Sydney summer she is going to long very quickly for the cool breezes of Scotland Island to once again kiss her cheeks...:shout:

[asiafever]

Dai is a true local, went to Cabra high, deputy mayor of Fairfield, KK is an entitled fly-in with NOTHING in common with the constituents. It was a ridiculous plan from the outset. Labor thought it couldn't lose.

[FatStache]

Have met Dai on a couple occasions, she's a brilliant and admirable lady. Well deserved win for her.

[GoldfishMan]

Just in: Labour have secured a majority Gov. Hooray, at least they will have some consistency! Good or bad, it’s all up to them now.

That’s a good result.
I like the Greens and most of the Independents but a majority government is best for the country.
Getting agreement from the cross benches on everything is a nightmare.
It’s enough that the small parties and independents have the balance of power in the Senate.

[dannyboy]

Dai is a true local, went to Cabra high, deputy mayor of Fairfield, KK is an entitled fly-in with NOTHING in common with the constituents. It was a ridiculous plan from the outset. Labor thought it couldn't lose.

I could have told them putting a non local American in Cabramatta was not a good idea..

[dotcumdotinyou]

That's the problem with labour, they think they can do anything they want in a "safe" seat. So good to see the locals hitting back.

Good to see KK out of government too, she was one of the three who was accused of bullying a fellow female senator before she passed away and albo was too gutless to recommend an enquiry.

[GoldfishMan]

Not quite. We will have a Labor Greens Alliance for the next four years.

Labor will require Greens support to pass Legislation in the Senate. It’s back to the days of Rudd, if you were a fan of that era.

Nothing new about the senate. There has not been a dominant party there since 2009.

Good I don't one to see a "bulldozer" Government🤣

[DrBean]

While I cannot vote, there seems to be very little difference between the two major parties and their policies. I recall reading an article by an economics firm that suggested over the past 20 years there was a less than 5% GDP impact between the major parties’ policies.

[DrBean]

I shall try to locate this in my archives. I think I may have saved the publication. Apologies I should have provided a reference rather than hearsay.

Albanese's swearing in as Prime Minister was fast tracked so he can fly straight to Tokyo first thing monday morning where he will meet Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Clearly the importation of Japanese sex workers is his top priority.
The rumour is he has a list of Top 10 JAV actresses he wants the Japanese to lend us as part of an arts and culture exchange. In return we are giving the Japanese Bluey's mum and Kath and Kim.
President Biden and Indian President Modi are also flying to Japan to bid for the JAV stars.
No doubt Modi will be haggling non stop for a discount.
Will be the first big test for Albo if he can out haggle Modi. Lets see if Albo has got what it takes.

[AHLUNGOR]

That’s got to be the most amazingly stupid idea I’ve ever heard. Fix a demand and supply issue, by increasing the demand!


Yeap, simple Econ 101, supply and demand!

Why no government ever willing to commit for more supply ??

The State government should be the biggest long term housing developer and set some restrictions on these units to limit the sale prices and foreign ownership and investment property .

Why can’t we learnt from the Singapore government, we have plenty of land and enough money to build. Let the Australian people own their own home which they can afford and own them for 99 years. It’s a great policy !

Purely on a punting talents point of view. All AA has to do is stand up for Australia and not following on the ass of Joe Biden. We should have our own foreign policy and economic priorities with our No. 1 trading partner- China .

Once the Chinese students, working holiday, backpackers and general tourists return , there will be hundred times more talents than what the Japs can supply . No ?

Very little diffence between liberal and Labor these days... Wouldn't call Labor hard left, there are right and left faction's within Labor...

[dotcumdotinyou]

The teals took out alot of the moderate libs so for sure they'll be moving further to the right. They just need a more charismatic leader than Peter Dutton to be the new face of the libs.

Didn't matter who won the election it was always going to be hard for the next few years with world wide inflation and interest rates going up globally, I just think that labour will make the wrong decisions and fuck up the country again. There hasn't been a decent labour leader since Hawke and Keating.

[rooter]

The economy will be fucked over the next few years.
Trillion dollar debt, rising interest rates, rising inflation, major stock market correction overdue.
The only good statistic of low unemployment is a mirage just due to the borders being closed over the last 2 years.
It will also quickly rise again as things open up.
So whether Morrison or Albanese or a chimpanzee is in charge will make no difference.
Next few years will be tough.
But the Libs already have the script written for the next election “See, we told you Labor can’t run the economy”. Politics is a nasty business.

Tough period ahead this is going to be a one term government that is going to hand out as per usually to all the bums and minorities. They will divide the community via gender and race. Introduce more quotas giving the undeserving a free ride.

They will welcome back the boats and bring China back in the fold and punish the corporate sector, the wealthy and small business owners to pay for the give away.

Not sure what the answer is Scomo was a fukwit.

I would like a Gov to come out and say tough times we will not be spending and trying to buy votes. We will treat everyone the same and not punish people that had a go to feed the lazy cunts

Point 1:correct. Point 2: depends a lot on Treasurer Jim Chalmers. He is a Queenslander which indicates small c conservative, whatever your party. A Catholic, therefore another c, and a huge admirer of Keating which is broadly encouraging. The role of Finance Minister is crucial, unimportant in opposition, but Peter Walsh's savagery in eviscerating Departmental budgets made him the most hated, and one of the best in the Labor party in the Hawke/Keating years. I doubt whether the current Finance spokeswoman Katy Gallagher from the ACT, a Sociology expert will get the gig. A hardcase is essential in this role to support the Treasurer.

The chicken little's have been following the Murdoch script too closely, it's gonna be tough, but not much different whoever is running the show.

One really good point: Barnaby can kiss all those bribes from Scotty goodbye. If the Libs have any sense they will break with the Nats in opposition.

It’s only 3 years, one would think someone with such a strong political view point would know that.

As for debit, I am guessing you are ignoring all the debit the liberals have piled on the last 9 years, and here is a hint a good deal of that was racked up before covid hit. What’s that tell ya? Yup you read too much of the Daily Terrorgraph and listen to 2GB.

Going by the sentiment here, it sounds like the LNP should’ve had a leadership spill before the elections to switch to a different “horse”, just like the last election. That appears to be the “winning formula” in Australia.

Taking bets now: who thinks Albo would still be ALP leader / PM by the time of the next elections?
