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
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…
Omg, that’s fucking hilarious!
“I won’t mention pre-poll because people ARE drinking when I say ‘pre poll’”
Fucking LOL
Im so fucking drunk
This was my favourite part of tonight hahaha
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 really has no self-awareness, does she? https://live.australiainstitute.org.au/2025/05/australia-institute-live-election-2025-results/#a87d1a79e7
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
Pretty big swing against him in Dickson right now. He might lose his own seat.
Did Jacinta just seriously waffle out an implied allegation that the AEC is corrupt? That’s fucking insane.
Had me raising my eyebrows too.
Oh shit wtf did she say?
Hmm, I can definitely see how you’d interpret it as accusing the AEC, but I don’t think that’s it. At worst, it’s accusing the AEC of failing to adequately kerb bad behaviour from Labor. But it was mostly accusing Labor and the media of being abusive. Unhinged, but not, I think, in the way you took it.
The AEC is responsible for ensuring that staffers/volunteers at polling boths are conducting themselves within the bounds of the law and that voters are not intimidated.
If she is alledging that people are being harrassed in line etc and the AEC is not reporting this/involving the police she is alleging AEC corruption.
Feels pretty accurate
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.
Yeah honestly we couldn’t ask for a more classic start.
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.
Agreed. I’m not a fan of Dutton but his concession speech was mainly truth and from the heart. At least he’s somewhat graceful in defeat.
Some senator on abc called himself a reagan republican. The man should be arrested for treason.
I implore you, as an American who has witnessed the generational devastation that has resulted from the Reagan presidency, throw anyone who says that into the middle of the fucking Pacific.
Mcgrath said that.
That was actually pretty wild for his side of politics to go that far in these times. His side of politics are fully dominated by MAGA-esque types.
He went further than what you say even, he identified himself with the Neo-libs (Reagan), and the Neo-Cons (Bush), pretty sure he even mentioned Nixon, but i can’t remember now.
Basically he identified himself with everyone from his side of Politics except the current ruling international faction, what i’ll call the Dickwads International Klan, or D.I.K.
Im glad im not the only one who noticed, very dissappointed that the panel ignored it. I thought him identifying himself as an american agent was a big fucking deal and it should have been highlighted and linked to the ass kicking.
I feel sorry for Dutton’s kids. They only have a choice of one out of eight properies each…
Very tough going
“Let’s wait for the pre-poll” has to be on the bingo card next time.
Can replace “too close to call”
Going to have to scull my drink to catch-up.
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.
