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.

    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.

      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.

                  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?

                    I said that because I didn’t. Where the preferences end up flowing is irrelevant. You’re essentially saying that everyone votes for the ALP or LNP which is a ridiculous way of thinking.

                    What do I want done about immigration? Pause it. Completely. We don’t have enough houses for the people we already have.

                    No it’s not only immigration.
