The Murdoch media is just killing the conservatives in this country. People see through all the childish, boomer, nutter, backward, false and misleading anti Labor crap they keep spewing forth. And they've determined they don't want to associate with that and they've voted accordingly.
Sack Bolt, Price, Panahi etc. Stop the childish squealing about an ex 3 term Premier's golf and start providing Australians with rational dissection on relevant matters that isn't overt political cheer squadding.
Maybe then the conservatives will win back the middle ground they've been smashed in.
Ffs they've even lost their own people. Even they see through the Murdoch bs.
They won't. They won't even ease back. And that'll just continue to make the right an irrelevancy in this country.

Mandy Nolan a chance in Richmond ( office in tweed heads)
Greens have an interesting result. Their primary vote has marginally increased, by 0.3%, but they are losing seats. They clearly have an issue with trying to concentrate their vote to win lower house seats. Interestingly the Greens may have been able to win some seats in Brisbane and Melbourne, but can't pull it off in Sydney. Wonder what the issue is in Sydney.

Ian Goodenough will lose his seat. Guess he wasn't.
(I keep picturing a 'Godfather'-style Ellis Island arrival of his parents from Singapore, some poor immigration official trying to pronounce their surname. Eventually the weary traveler gives up trying to correct him:
*Sigh*. "Good enough."
"Oh! Goodenough, got it. Welcome to Australia, Mr Goodenough.")

Bandt will get up. I'm very disappointed the greens will win very little with 12% primary vote. A moral travesty to anyone with any ethical compass.Dutton and Sukkar losing their seats, and the possibility of Bandt losing his brings me a truckload of joy
And here's the thing, we are in an ecological crisis. But let's celebrate another neo liberal government with no green input. It's a fools paradise.
The vacuous shadow Treasurer was a big reason for this crushing defeat. Such a lightweight. Should be selling used cars.
I wondered if the Fibs could ever recover after Morrison..more certain than ever that they won’t. Rabble!

And he’s probably on of the favourites to be their next leader.
Long road ahead for that mob
Surely the destruction of this election will make them realise none of the current senior shadow ministers should be part of the next leadership.
But most of their up and coming leaders have lost. Hastie might be the best option they have. If Welldone Angus or Sussssan Lay, the Nats should go it alone.
They are struggling to win seats because they are competing with Labor for the seats this election, not the Libs, and the Libs are directing their preferences to Labor.
If the Libs weren't such a disaster and those seats were between the Greens and the Libs, Labor preferences would give the Greens more seats.
Regardless of the actual seats win or lost tho, they have to be disappointed they couldn't increase their vote, as the lost Libs votes went elsewhere.
He lost by 1200 votes, winner got 34%, he got 33%. I wouldn't call that kicked to the kerb. He did a great job. And unlike most MPs he has something big a worthwhile to hang his hat on, his negotiating and campaigning vastly improved housing policy. That can be objectively measured too based on budget increased as a direct result of his work. Great job Max, very passionate and committed young man who will succeed at whatever he does.
He made a very bad mistake addressing a CFMEU rally and showing support for that organisation. It’s all very well supporting unionism in this country, that’s fine, but to support the CFMEU with so much evidence of corruption, standover tactics and criminal infiltration was very bad judgement.
I have no doubt that hurt him and the greens and so it should
