it's pretty funny seeing the Lib fanboys talk down Labour's win in Vic. The line they seem to be wanting to run is Labour should have won by more, rather then focus on the reality which is a one term Liberal party was voted out.

Yes Cobber, and political sour grapes writ large!
Rhrosty.

Labor plus Green won significantly more lower house votes than Lib + Nat.

No surprise: the conservative duo lost and the more socially responsible duo won.

Suck it up, fellows. You will get another time in a few years, next time potentially after a change of Federal leader or government, so the post-election name-calling will be different.

I'm not from Victoria, but I do wonder if the title doesn't say most of it.
I suggest apathy rules not just in Victoria but right across the board. We are tired of, with a few worthy exceptions, the mendacious, self-serving politician telling us why we should vote for him/her rather than the other one. And even the exceptions must belong to a party and have their wings clipped accordingly.
Few to none can be believed. Almost all are in thrall to a greater or lesser extent to the corporate dollar. Why vote for at all, when in our hearts we know that real power lies in the board rooms, not the assemblies.

Hey Rick who is in Govt now,Liberals lost weep

Given the Chocolate Shop Siege going on right now in Martin Place (Sydney) may Melbourne be next?

All these wealthy, trendy, Green converts might have to contend with an innately conservative law enforcement environment aimed at averting a similar Siege or Worse in Melbourne.
