Short memory Penny.
Penny needed a lower profile during this election. The non handshake was a gift for the Libs. Having Wong as a foreign minister and no minister named as Immigration minister were huge mistakes made by the ALP.

I thought him too Riddles, but nuh. Plibersek is the favourite but surely there's some Sydney Stack types hidden in Labor's team.
Ridley said:
If they can't beat the Libs, whose policies are woeful and performance in government has been woeful, its a bloody lot of doom and gloom for them AFAIC.

It will be Tanya vs scomo in 3 years. Cannot imagine that labor would put up Albo. He would not have a hope

Plibersek will not be leader. Murdoch, and the Coalition, would muckrake her out in a week. She knows that. The good leaders leave, they are real, rounded people who realise the system stinks. Combet was the one.

Not sure Snake. I reckon this is all on Shorten. People just don’t like him and it’s obvious they haven’t taken to his “top end of town” rhetoric.
If they get a better leader they will be right back in it in 2022. That will be 9 years of Liberal government and it doesn’t generally go longer than that.

Pretty dark day for australia culturally.
We put franking credits and $5 a week tax break ahead of
Health, education, our environment and reconciliation with black australia.
Scomo sipped a schooner significantly less awkwardly than shorten jogged.
What happens now?
Well we are *smile*. The nationals killed the murray river, and won more seats. The Indian bloke the queenslanders want WILL kill the reef. But whats a river and a reef?
Black fellas are just as dumb as the rest of us. They swung 7% to liberal in Lignari, despite labour laying on the table to legislate for black policy power.
What have labour got? Their best talent are gay and girls. Kristina keneally has the mettle, even the looks to slip murdochs muck. But shes a senator.
It'll be Elbows, whose more scomo than scomo.
We'll all just get shitter and crapper and hate each other more.
But our franking credits should be right.

No idea who Labor will put in as leader, although at this stage I don't trust the decided seat numbers as much as I would normally because of the massive pre-polls and the lack of precedent on that. A Labor majority government looks out of the question and a minority Labor government would need some very strange results coming from pre-polls to make that a possibility. Given pre-polls are still coming in it looks like Shorten is gone, he will resign and the job he has pursued for his whole life will never be his.
It is looking like a hung parliament is a big possibility and this will cause some problems if the Libs are in a minority government as the cross-bench is full of people focused on climate change and the Libs are very divided on that.
One thing we can be certain of is that we have no idea what this government will do, policy free zone.
Also no idea who will be the ministers.
One other thing which is very noticeable is the divide in Australia, 2 party preferred in Qld is around 58% LNP, in Victoria I think it is about 53% ALP.
How this divided government could gain votes is a real surprise. None of us were surprised when the ALP changed PM twice and lost, this mob have done the same and likely held on.
