Good news, apparently Australia does not like politicians who align themselves with fascists

Bad news, not a minority government

Not looking good for the greens at all, I'm really surprised Melbourne has turned on them by the looks of it ?

In the lower house. Senate currently looks likely to have a Greens balance of power. https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal/2025/results/senate

Beware the propaganda.

On Sky, Andrew Bolt just blamed Elon Musk for Peter Dutton not winning on Donald Trump's platform.

I just can't....

I was wearing a Nazi uniform in a private Facebook post and it’s the media’s fault that the voting public found out about it. - Jacinta Price

Dutton was poison and deeply unpopular already in the Scomo years. Looks like people didn't forget. I'm starting to feel some landslide vibes here early on.

Did Jacinta just seriously waffle out an implied allegation that the AEC is corrupt? That's fucking insane.

Some senator on abc called himself a reagan republican. The man should be arrested for treason.

I implore you, as an American who has witnessed the generational devastation that has resulted from the Reagan presidency, throw anyone who says that into the middle of the fucking Pacific.

Congrats on taking care of your garbage.

A solid concession speech. Can't imagine such a speech coming from any of the Liberal party's leaders over the last decade.

Jeez, remember Malcolm Turnbull having a drunken tantrum on election night and threatening to send the AFP after the Labor party... That was his ACCEPTANCE speech.

I feel sorry for Dutton's kids. They only have a choice of one out of eight properies each...

Very tough going

Sky News panel all dreading that call from Rupert.

ABC right now: BREAKING: Peter Dutton has lost his seat in parliament

Unreal

Antony Green was right.

Look at what's going on with the TAS vote when it gets to 5%, and you have your winner lol

"Let's wait for the pre-poll" has to be on the bingo card next time.

On the one hand, a bit disappointed that the Greens haven't done amazingly on results so far. But I have a huge sense of relief that Dutton and the Coalition have been soundly rejected.

Eat shit, Dutton. What a shit campaign those idiots ran

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

ABC, you are wasting your time asking policy questions...

The LNP doesn't know. And it's an inappropriate time to say anyways

With the size of this win, ALP could have another 9 years if they govern for the people
