Australian Federal Election - 2022

[Knobby22]

It looks as if Kristina Kennealy ( nobody's girl ) is in huge trouble in attempting to move from a posh house on the coast to commish in Fowler.

And the Greens might get Brisbane. And the teals in Sydney knocking off Libs.

 

[Knobby22]

The continuing attacks on Melbourne from Sky News and the coalition. The cutting of support for projects cutting our share of capital projects to 6% of the budget when we provide way more than that in taxes is meaning many safe seats may fall.
Treat us like ****, don't be surprised to be treated like ****.
14% swing against Tim Wilson is an example.

Also be the world laggard on climate change embarrassing educuted Liberals, do corrupt things and refuse to put in safeguards just plays to the teals.

Victoria was set to not matter but its the Liberal safe seats in doubt now.

Learnt something surprising today.
New Zealand announced they will be in budget surplus on budget predictions.
Look at us, 1 trillion debt and deficits as far as the eyes can see.

Not possible. NZ has a Labor Govt

Gave NSW ALP their biggest ever defeat - then lost the unlosable by-election, now she'll lose this.

She's as fake as a $3 dollar note.

My election news source has been asf. Let me know who wins.

Last comment. Bridget Archer who crossed the floor on integrity issues has done really well. Liberals will vote for good Liberals.

I'm a Liberal at heart. They need to go back to what they were. Integrity matters.

A couple of terms of Labor will sort a lot of problems out IMO.

Once the jubilation of a win wears off the reality of the economic nightmare they've taken should (but it probably won't) set in at labor party HQ. Interest rates are going up inflation is skyrocketing and I doubt in 3 years time the unemployment rate and commodity prices will be in a better place than they are today. Could very likely see labor get obliterated next election through no fault of their own. Liberals in a way dodged a bullet here.

But good to see a big swing towards independents and small parties across the land.

Looks like green credentials prevailed above most others in deciding this election, and especially the cross bench, for the House of Representatives. In terms of Labor possibly forming a majority in the House, then Morrison's derision towards West Australians in the past 2 years will be decisive.
Early results from ACT's Senate voting suggests the trend of Independent gains and Coalition losses will be maintained. Which could mean that the ALP will have to do deals with the cross benchers irrespective of Albanese's February pledge not to, if they are to get their legislation through.

Yes we should see a lot of changes, I can't wait, it will be terrific.

Business is pretty good right now. Probably the best I've seen it for construction. Labor needs to be very careful with their penchant for bureaucracy and red tape dribble.

This election was all about the libs being thrown out for going against their supporters ideals. If we get a minority government, it's just going to reinforce that neither side was popular.

Let us hope a Federal Integrity Commission gets up in the first term of Parliament and that workers who do the essential poorly paid work are paid fairly and able to afford to buy a house..

Absolutely and those who can afford to pay more tax do so.
Get rid of negative gearing on all property, get rid of franking credits for everyone, reduce capital gains offset from 50% to 25%, fix the budget in 5 years.
Lets see what happens.

Terrific or terrible?
If Víctoria or Qld state gov during covid are any indication,we will soon be a de facto dictature.
Let's pray..sadly i am a non believer...that this alp will be more like Keating than Julia

Well the people have spoken, now we have to see if they get what they wished for.
The media will be happy, but as usual time will tell.

Is that just me but i looked at a map of Australia and results:
basically capital cities are labor or extreme left and the rest LNP.
It is shockingly segregated.
Obviously numbers are there but we are getting ready to a terrible city country us vs them.
Considering manufacture is gone, we have a coffee sipping services/PS and fake jobs in cities vs remaining productive aka mostly mining and farming division.interesting

I have the same reservations. Throwing big ideas at us is one thing. Getting it done is another.

However, scomo and Dutton were walking down the wrong path. They continually stomped on rights and flushed the "government shouldn't be in your life" liberal mantra down the toilet. And started pushing us towards to many conflicts.

Now it's about navigating through having a "houso" as pm with a bunch of batsht crazy supporters screeching and pushing their "victim barrows" front and centre. The whole "he has empathy" shtick is just code for "cash splash my way incoming".

God help us and let's give albo a chance. But the libs needed a clean out. Let's hope Dutton is gone.

Not going to happen.

Sydney/Melbourne and the East Coast probably feel they have been hard done by because they have to pay a lot for a house, how the Government will fix that for them is the interesting part, also how they will get rid of the coal fired power stations, will be good to watch. Strap yourselves in for interesting times on the East coast IMO.
But something had to be done, treading water for three years wont work.

Only thing I have to say is a Labor / Greens government such a beautiful thing ??

Que Murdoch propaganda machine.
