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.

"Lets just wait for the numbers to come in"

Yeah fuck off James. No one likes a sore loser.

So happy with the result this election. Hopefully a sign of elections to come!

Sky has crossed to Tony Abbott

The beams have crossed and Albo lost

As a Perthlet, I'm pretty happy overall. Only real disappointment is Canning; would have thought it's within Labor's grasp but currently looks like a 5% swing against Labor, even after sitting MP Andrew Hastie said we should give our mineral stockpiles to Trump to stop the tarriffs. Any Mandurah locals have some insight into the sentiment - is it the Keep The Sheep campaign maybe?

[–] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Its definitely gona be Keep the Sheep for part of it. I'm surprised it wasn't more of an issue in the end.

A friend, (not a farmer), at the start of the WA election campaign was getting hot under the collar about Labor's live export ban. I said to him, "this is a minority issue, its hardly going to touch the sides in terms of political issues."

I stand by that comment, but man, they're a noisy bloody minority! They certainly made me feel i's gona have to eat my words.

One of the dumb, slow moving ones.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Well, it's the biggest thumping we've seen in a long while and it's on him.

[–] NaevaTheRat@vegantheoryclub.org 3 points 1 month ago

Thesis please

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Jeebus, calm down ABC. It's 5% counted.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Godam, don't you clowns jinx Antony's last call!

[–] NaevaTheRat@vegantheoryclub.org 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah Jim, look for some corn while you're up there!

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I'll be interested to see who pops up to position themselves as the leader of whoever loses...

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago
