Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.
At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.
I can finally have a couple months off from stressing over our politics because we reelected the competent side.
It’s been pretty nice. I’ve been catching up on new (to me) music releases.
Culture!?! I forgot that was a thing I could do with my time.
This and the GTA6 release date announcement today is a good news day.
Ah yes because the ALP have been so competent the last 3 years, haven’t they? No, they’ve been a complete shitshow.
The LNP are a shitshow too, and Dutton deserved to be nowhere near being prime minister, but let’s not sugar coat it - Labor have run the country into the ground. Can you name a single thing that has improved over the last 3 years?
Min wage went, billions in affordable housing investments, GP visits being bulk billed all seem pretty nice. Theres plenty more but I don’t remember them off the top of my head.
Min wage going up a tiny bit is negated by the 30%+ inflation from the current governments term.
What “affordable housing”? The one where not a single house was actually built?

GP visits being bulk billed? Almost every GP visit now costs you money out of pocket, even the ones that bulk bill.
sure would be nice if there weren’t 2 major conflicts, recovering from the pandemic, and numerous other things that cause cost of living crisis and other things that every other country on earth is also going through
what’s that i hear? is that the sound of the IMF having ranked us 2nd best in the world for budget balance…
shit mate, maybe you’re repeating half truths and FUD from sky news
A trillion dollars of debt we’ll be at soon. Our power bills have tripled thanks to the ALPs energy plan. Our “100% renewables” energy plan is going to cost us another trillion or so, probably more. Our housing crisis has been fuelled by mass immigration at levels never seen before - all under labor’s watch.
Labor have been a shitshow for the country in every way. The only good thing they’ve done is kept Dutton out.
Isn’t declining culture war ideology a positive thing? Australia has a strong sense of community and identity politics destroys that
Australia has a strong sense of community? That’s being eroded every day. Our sense of community is being taken away in favour of “multiculturalism” and making sure every immigrants cultures and religions are respected, at the expense of our own identity and community.
Why would you prefer LNP when they were the ones who introduced more immigration?
Neither the ALP or LNP are prepared to do what needs to be done in terms of immigration. I didn’t vote for the ALP or LNP.
If your preferred party didn’t get any seats, you voted for the ALP or LNP.
I know how voting works. What point were you trying to make?
Because you said you didn’t vote for either, but all votes typically end up going to one or the other.
But what do you want done about immigration? Is it only immigration?
