Alas, in our country the dead can’t vote.

Anthony Albanese: “Au contraire”.

The teev is telling me a Labor majority is the most likely outcome.

A different flavour of rage for the next three years then.

Kroger looking defeated. Trying to push the line of a majority is better than a minority government. LOL na I want absolute chaos…

Lol, Evil coal plants gonski in 12 months tops.

No wukkas, I’m off to Bunnings to buy an evil generator run on fossil fuels. Followed by barrels of oil in my backyard to laugh at Labor voters for voting away their energy independence.

Swings against Labor in early counting across the eastern states, with Fowler candidate Kristina Keneally a notable victim.

Fowler lol. Keneally is the fowlest candidate in the land. Surely even her mum hates her guts.

Fools learn by their own mistakes, the wise by the mistakes of others.

There are going to be plenty of other’s mistakes to learn from in the near future.

Antony Green is not ready to call Wentworth for Allegra. He is waiting for the postal votes to come in which may favour Sharma.

What’s the deal with Antony Green? He seems ill.

Wouldn’t it be frustrating for Labor if Morrison could make a deal with the Greens and the Teals to prove once and for all that he’s more red than Elbow.
It would be a stupid thing for him to do, in my opinion.
Let Labor have them.
I would say that on these figures, M0orrison hasn’t been repudiated, candidates like Wilson, Falinski, Frydenburg and Zimmerman just don’t have electoral appeal.

Any numbers on informal votes? Are they up?

No! Hand drawn willys are down 0.7% relative to last election.

NSW leads the nation in %informal.

Senate is interesting. Labor lost 3% in NSW.

But honestly, the results just confirm our fears that the electorate is quite happy to get reamed and live in darkness, as long as they can feel good about it.

The Argentinian parallel is apt. We’re fucked. Let’s just hope that we can learn our lesson and unfuck ourselves within a decade or so.

How is Kate Chaney doing in Curtin? Badly, I hope. But I have little faith in the perspicacity of my fellow Australians. Too many young and brainwashed for my comfort.

rickw:

The Mongs are going to have to learn the lesson the hard way.

There are a couple of Hard Ways:
Hard Way #1 = With pineapple.
Hard Way #2 + With Pineapple + lube.
Hard Way #3 + Pineapple, no lube.
…and Hard Way #4 Reverse pineapple, no lube, no local anaesthetic, no nose beers.
Choices to be made.

Annabel [Crabb?] asked Birmo about losing the Chinese language Seats.
He answered well, i’d say the correct answer is:
“Chinese suck as Liberal voters”

Ch 9 just had a frosty moment between Simon Holmes A Court and Jane Hume with him asking for an apology and her saying Up your jumper.

Zoe Daniel predicted to win Goldstein.
No! No! No!

Looks like Greens won Griffiths. Don’t mind seeing Butler losing but not easy to stomach Green.

We are so screwed.

Buona notte gattoni e gattine

The Teals were a shoe in for all the bored housewives with shallow, ‘the feels’ driven perspectives.

Amazing. People must be full of piss & wind when talking. From the conversations I had or was near so many were off the majors they were voting minor parties. Tonight’s results tell a different story, especially in seats like in NQ.

Falinski is hard left- good to see him gone. It’s trash like Falinski and Birmingham that made me walk from the lieboral pardy.

But honestly, the results just confirm our fears that the electorate is quite happy to get reamed and live in darkness, as long as they can feel good about it.

Disagree. No one thinks they will be the ones affected. That is for others.

I await the yodels of dismay when the penny finally drops. For drop it will.

As for Zoe, has anyone approached her children for an opinion?

JC:

The demons are potentially in a lot of trouble if these folks are any guide.

They’re only in trouble if the mid term elections are held.

Bronwyn held Mackellar for 22yrs.

The division is named after Sir Charles Mackellar, a social reformer and surgeon who served in the Senate from October to November 1903, and his daughter Dorothea Mackellar, a 20th-century Australian poet.

It’s a pity that ‘I love A Sunburnt Country’ is not taught and memorised in primary schools throughout Australia as it was in the 40s and 50s.
It covers much of the Green rubbish we are confronted with today.

In good news, nobody’s girl is getting pantsed in Fowler.

Every teal and green seat should have their electricity and gas cut immediately, with the offer of free windmills and solar panels as replacements. To be sited locality, of course.

Argenstralia?

🎶 🎶 Todavía llamo a Argenstralia “hogar”. 🎶 🎶

I preferenced a teal above the LNP hack. My desire to punish the Libs was too strong.

My goodness. Catherine Deves has caused all of the Liberal Party’s woes, according to the ABC.

Simon Birmingham is a fucking communist.

People like Simon Birmingham will ensure that the LNP loses ground at the next election.

Hairy, not a bad psephologist, was up early here looking at the counts. Tassie coming in well ahead for the Libs, he tells me as I surface at 11am here, nine hours behind Sydney. That’s a bellwether, he tells me, so it’s not going to be a Liberal slaughter. I almost hope he’s right, but if Labor get in and it’s not a Liberal slaughter then it just encourages them both down the Net Zero nightmare pathway. If Libs get in I am happier, for reasons Steve Kates says in his thread, but I hope that it is on preference which show that the base is sliding away from them.

I held my nose and put Sharma second in Wentworth though, after Daniel Lewkovic for the LDP, and Allegra Spender last, because I didn’t want to give that Stepford Wife of Holmes a Court any leeway to gain from my precious vote. Princess Allegra, as Cassie calls her. What an airhead.

If some here think I am an airhead, I plead that I am only so where it doesn’t matter or is fixable. I am up to three strikes, for instance, on losing things on this trip: one, my blood pressure tablets, two my phone, and just now three, my make up. I think I left my small travel kit on the sofa in the Fenland cottage with the mirror above it, where I took it because Hairy kicked me out of the bathroom for taking too long in my morning restoration applications. One bathroom can prove quite maritally disharmonious. The Curate’s Quarters obviates the problem, as they have a small make-up table and chair in the bedroom with eye-make up remover pads supplied. They hate it when it gets on the towels.

Don’t know what sort of Curate ever required a comfy king-sized bed and towels for three though!

Now, back to the race to the finish line in Oz. So glad the Cat is here to share with old mates & new.

Labor on brink of forming majority Government according to Ch 9.

It just shows how the lefties in Coalition did not have genuine Coalition support as their electorates dumped them in a very clear manner.

Teals main policy seems to have been Climate Change and Integrity Commission which don’t rate for most people. Ch 9 said cost of living the number one concern for most and Climate change is not going to help with that. Between Labor, Greens and Teals on Climate Change we are going to be in deep poo and China going to be very happy supplying us with the windmills and solar panels created with our nasty coal power.

That way, he reckons, people would have been energised because they had freedom of religion, one of the bedrocks of democracy.

Throw in freedom to work unvaxxed and Monger might be onto something…

Labor on brink of forming majority Government according to Ch 9.

I can hear Albo’s whining victory speech now!

Looks like Higgins is gone to the liars. Good riddance to a useless Tesla driving virtue signaller.

Good. That’s Katy Allen out of the Liberal court.

Right now, Hairy predicting a hung parliament.

Any calls? Lyons in Tassie coming down to Lambie preferences, reports my own psephologist.

Oh, good. The Liberal Party is getting destroyed.

So how did giving the ABCcess more money rather than defunding them work out Lib-mongs?

Antony Green looks sick
Monkeypox

can Labor still win government on its own?

without having to deal with any of the indies or greenies?

Doc Beaugan:

Rabz is right. I’m not conservative, but I am old-fashioned. In my day, the LGBTQI++ ” communidy” were known as perverts; we tolerated them as long as they shut up. Now we are required to admire them.
No way. I don’t feel the least inclination to be inclusive of perverts or the deranged. I think we should return to locking them up so they don’t make such nuisances of themselves.

That’s very much what I believe, Doc, mainly because I know what these people do when there’s no one keeping an eye on them.
And I refuse to be nice to them so I can strut my “Tolerance” gene in public.

Rabz:

*Here’s a free hint, you imbeciles – you’re not a “powerbroker” when you’re bereft of any power.
Don’t thank me, that statement of the bleeding obvious has been administered free of charge, you #@#*ing &%*#wits.

Free of charge, Rabz, but with a serving of flavour.
Pineapple flavour. sans cocaine.

Our largest or second export is coal, yet we’re voting in political parties that want to eliminate coal use to produce energy for domestic consumption.

This is mental illness.

Yes. But the Climate Change Cult is bitingly deep. It’s even worse here in the UK.
Every single aspect of life is viewed through it in this green and pleasant and overpopulated island.

It is going to take a lot of ruin and pain and reconsideration to move people away from this apocalyptic panic. It is much worse than Covid ever was in terms of geeing the populace up to face armageddon.

Australia has a milder dose of it, but just as ruinous or more so, because of our geopolitical situation and because of our lack of home-based manufacturing industries. If we knock over our major resources exports we are history. Both parties seem oblivious to this under the climate obsession.

Chris Uhlmann just suggested VIC punishing Morrison for Covid policies. Don’t see how that works.

Constance looks like losing in Gilmore.

I am starting to believe this stuff you hear about decreasing IQ in the general population. Should the visible trend continue- Australia is starting to look a whole lot more fucked than it did when I got up this morning.

These four “Independents” that are winning seats in the Sydney area. They seem to have largely cut and pasted their policy goals from each other. Perhaps were assigned them. Though I am left to scratch my head about who were the policies assigned by, given the policies reflect those of the uniparty.

It is nice to see at this stage in counting that somewhere approaching twenty percent of the primary vote was to other than the uniparty and their proxies. But christ that is nowhere near what is required to derail this decarbonisation idiocy. This delusion about what an amazing job and money spinner embracing the electrified-“green” economy. All the other retardedness such as fake pandemics and androgyny for children until they “decide” otherwise….etc… After the last two and a half years any reasonable person could have thought they were less of a minority, than it outwardly seems they are.

I can’t see what is going on in Oz

But has KK been kicked in the knut by Dai Le?

Some encouraging talk about the libs losses being an indication that the party, especially in Vic, need to honour their traditional base.

Talk is cheap.

Watch the STUPID FKG LIBERALS go way left now, chasing the punters. Within a few years the Aussie Dollar will have a 5 in front of it, inflation will be double figures and the debt will be close to 200% of GDP. Albo’s crew will be clueless what to do other than squadrons of helicopter money. Just to get the votes and have the Treasury. As I said this morning, we’re fucked. I’m upping my gold investments.

Rosie:

I was hoping against hope the teals would flub but those upper class professionals are behaving exactly as expected.
Sigh.

Do you remember the influx of Democrat operatives during the waning years of the Victorian Election, and the sending of Victorian ‘influencers’ to the US to ‘observe’ the US elections?
Well, they came back with lots of suggestions….

Thick and rich.

Virtue signalling economics.

The teals aren’t pro business, Simon Birmingham, you useless cunt! They want to dump billions upon billions into renewballs. That’s their business model.
