How sweet it is!
Belly,
I clearly recall Keating saying "this is the sweetest victory of all".
I also clearly recall the mess that followed & to a large extent the nation is still wallowing in that mess.
Let's just sit back & watch a repeat performance.

nothing can take the pure joy out of today Australian voters said the fear, the smear and even false polls some used is not going to make up their minds for them, too the very real hurt and pain on display from some, here, is worth waiting for, who would have thought super saturday would be this super? how could Turnbull turn this around? well leaving office may do it, after all he, this morning, lives in the shoes he planned to have Shorten wear

I didn't bother paying any attention to these elections.

With the current leadership & policies of both majors, Australia & it's citizens were going to lose, no matter what the result.

Shadow Minister,

Your claims to impartiality is destroyed with each and
everyone of your posts.

Dear Belly,

This has been a great result for Labor and especially
for Bill Shorten - whose leadership was being questioned.
As we can see from Super Saturday - the issues are what
matters to voters. I wonder if the Liberal Party will
learn anything from all of this prior to the next
election?

cont'd ...

Dear Belly,

The Liberals now need to get behind the only leader
they have and stop all the infighting and present a
united front. They also need to take a look at where
they are placing their emphasis - as far as their
policies are concerned. The government can no longer
claim the results of these by-elections as an
endorsement of their policies, especially their company
tax cuts strategy. They need to stress small
and medium businesses rather than big company tax cuts.

These results have created doubt about the Coalition's
chance of being re-elected. It has changed the momentum
in federal politics. The Liberal Party needs to review
its tactics - and actually listen to the voter's concerns.
Seats that used to be safe may be in question at the
federal election. For example, Peter Dutton's seat of
Dickson shares a boundary with Longman.

Belly,
From my observations most of the votes for Labor in this election were purchased by the present ALP Qld Govt by way of putting back the 14,000 Public servants put off by Newman's Govt plus another 14,000 have since been put on. If that is not vote buying then what is.
of course employment is what we all want but it has to be productive employment that creates revenue. There is as yet no apparent evidence of the Qld Public Service having improved by these 28,000 new people.
