We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.

Not to be a party pooper but we've seen it before. Hell, we're seeing it right now with Kid Starver's labor party.

Libs will claw back an unenthusiastic win, worry about The Economy ™️ (huge bankers and financiers), crack down on leftists then happily get dogwalked by conservatives with a vengeance the next cycle.

Australian Labor is not the UK Labor Party. They have actual talent, because somehow an island of 25 mil can muster more talent than one of 68 mil.

I'm sure some will say that Australian Labor is centrist or even center-right. But regardless, they're at least halfway competent.
