What a disgrace Sky are for having that despot loser Tim Smith on their coverage.
He just called the greens anti semetic, vermin, grubs, a blight. The guy’s eyes roll around in his head as he tries to piece together one puffy, big mouth, stupid comment after another.
I'm sorry Redford, but, why the f*ck would you watch Sky? Why do you even fund the Murdoch empire?
Some really interesting results, although we do need to take into account low vote counts so far, but the Libs having more than 10% loss in primary votes in the Eastern suburbs, the ALP seeing the same more than 10% losses in primary vote in the west and inner North.
Nats doing well, getting a few seats, looks like a couple of them off independents.
Greens doing well, larger primary vote up about 3%, but the reality is that the seats they are winning, they are winning on Liberal preferences. The Libs would be pretty pissed off that they are now a conduit for preferences in those seats as opposed to actually competing for the seats. The Greens have done well, no doubt about it, but they will not hold a fair number of those seats if the Libs preference the ALP instead of the Greens.
The HUN clearly has little or no influence which is great, bunch of right wing nut jobs, almost as bad as Sky.
I live in the electorate of Caulfield, are we getting a Labor member? If so, the Libs are well and truly f*cked. If they can't win Caulfield they are deep in the sh!t. Fair way to go but it looks like the Libs are in trouble in Caulfield. At the start of this year I live in safe Liberal electorates both federally and in the state parliament, now I have an independent federal member and we'll see how we go in the state, but it may well go Labor.
The primary vote of the ALP, Libs and Nats together looks like it will drop below 70% from around 80% at the last election. This is looking like a long term change, and in this state election, that's without the large number of votes going to a much bigger Teal campaign in the Federal election.
