Haven't seen another post for election updates yet, so creating this. Share your bets on how many times Anthony Green is going to have a screen malfunction.
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.
People of Dickson had an opportunity to do the funniest thing of all term and they took it.
You bloody rippers you <3
On Sky, Andrew Bolt just blamed Elon Musk for Peter Dutton not winning on Donald Trump's platform.
I just can't....
"I won't mention pre-poll because people ARE drinking when I say 'pre poll'"
Fucking LOL
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
That was some of the most twisted logic I'd ever heard.
I was wearing the hat as a joke, and four words have no meaning, but you need to take me seriously!
WAT?
She makes me sick.
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.
Sink LNP. Bring up some socialists
Did Jacinta just seriously waffle out an implied allegation that the AEC is corrupt? That's fucking insane.
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
Some senator on abc called himself a reagan republican. The man should be arrested for treason.
First screen malfunction 20 mins in. Drink!
It was the very first reveal of results!
I'd say it's worthy of a double, but I reckon we need some restraint this early on.
ABC right now: BREAKING: Peter Dutton has lost his seat in parliament
Unreal
Sky News panel all dreading that call from Rupert.
"What the FUCK did you just let happen? Was I not clear after Canada?"
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
No mate, you aligned with trump and people can see that the ideology is poison. It's not the "TRUMP FACTOR" if you're wearing maga hats, talking about woke in school, and doing an Australian doge. That's you having dogshit politics.
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
ABC, you are wasting your time asking policy questions...
The LNP doesn't know. And it's an inappropriate time to say anyways
I wonder how Gina is handling the news tonight
🤯
Dutton behind in early count!
Oh no! Anyways...
Man by the way they go on you'd think the greens had been in government.
With the size of this win, ALP could have another 9 years if they govern for the people
If Antony's computer is down for the rest of the night, does that count as one drink, or do we need to drink each time they cross to him?
Asking for a friend. My poor liver.
I'm so relieved.
Fuck yeah. Looks like Dickson has fallen.
46% of the vote counted and Labor candidate in the lead on 57%
Never thought thinking about Dickson would make me feel a certain something.
LNP narrative already kicking in.
"Not like Trump"
