How much is a vote worth?

High immigration is a sure winner; Labor imported a million favourable votes over two to three years: That’s the simplicity.

Thirty percent of the country survive largely on welfare payments, which they will not jeopardise by voting for Liberals.

Thirty percent of the population is comfortably wealthy; the Liberal cohort, and the balance are living very insecure lives, servicing high mortgages or high rents, long and expensive commutes to employment, and constrained family budgets, which will not be improved by voting for a political party with little idea how to share the wealth and security among the masses; where balancing the books is the priority, and least likely to cause waves for the rusted on wealthy, and as a further aside, pathetically anti union and doggedly pro employer.

When times are tough, the tough get going, and obviously Labor win the tough metal award!

You really are a scumbag titibean. You lost fair and square. No one is buying the fascist rights lies and fearmongering.
The sooner boomers like you just go towards the light the better off the rest of us will be.
Selfish, greedy, hateful cowards, scared to death of black people, chinese, women, gays and anyone with even the tiniest bit of empathy.

Well fu too dhead. Your time is over and the lieberals are done too, probably till after even I am long gone. You will never see another lieberal PM. Even then the way things are going its more likely to be a national than a lieberal. ahahahahaha beetroot for PM yeeehaaw.

The "shiteforbrains" are all on your side mate and until you lot wake up you will be trapped in your trumpian nightmare world of hate and fear. Or just go towards the light I dont care anymore.

Good win by Labor, the local LNP member got rolled, brought in some new Labor blood, which should be a welcome change. Good to see Mr Potato Head got mashed here in Brisbane!

mikk, I wouldn't call ttbn a "Boomer", he always been a "Gloomer", let the Old Fart sod off and go cry (once again) in his beer. He was a big supporter of the Trumpet Of Parrots, what new name will Fat Clive think up next, on 'Insiders' it was suggested, the Flugelhorn Of Failures, seems fitting.

The Liberal Party, well take one look at the pathetic line up of individuals as possible "leaders" to replace The Dud Dutton; 'Squizzy' Taylor, 'Squeaky" Ley and a couple of other nondescripts, the lot not worth a pinch of you know what.

If the last election didn't do it, maybe this one will. BUT then again, how do you wake up a dead corpse. I think seeing that Old Fart Little Johnny Howard at the Liberal Party wake says it all, a reactionary mob, with no progressive ideas, led by a bunch of incompetence's.

The Australian people do not want a government from the 'Pig Iron' Bob era, led by backward thinking conservatives with their focus on division through propagating hate in society with a focus on culture wars.

I have 5 grandchildren, aged between 18 and 25, who voted in this election. They would not in their wildest nightmare vote Coalition. Why, they don't see the Coalition as relevant to their personal asperations, or Australia's future. R.I.P Noalition.

Gone are the “silent majority”, the “forgotten people”; the majority of Australian voters are morons. They moan and groan about the ‘’cost of living’ the ‘cost of electricity’, and just about everything else, then they reward the lying bastards responsible for their moaning and groaning.

If they are not morons, then they actually want to see this country more like Russia or China, and they hope that they will soon be relieved of the inconvenience of having to vote. Uncle Albo will do it all for them, just like Uncle Vlad and Uncle Jinping. He - and Dutton - both pulled out the totalitarian lie that “Australia is the best country in the world”, trying to get the morons to tear-up about an inanimate object when it's people that make or break a nation - and Australians are more your breakers than makers.

So, another three years of even more lying about “climate change”, “cheap” wind and solar, “reconciliation” AKA racism, houses that will never be built - all the BS of the last three years, on stilts.

The morons have been given options. They don’t have to vote for the uniparty.

The only good thing to come of this election was the overdue humiliation of the Greens.

Of course, my generation has lived the good life, and benefited from the good old days that no longer exist. It is succeeding generations that have stuffed everything up, and it is they who will suffer. Ha de ha bloody ha. Serve them right.

In the meantime, I don't think that I will bother voting if I'm still around for the next election. The specimens putting themselves forward are as moronic as those voting for them.

ttbn,

You are certainly a sad Old Fart, nothing positive to say, always negative. Well, with Labor given a resounding mandate, lets see them work positively for the future of the nation. Its unfortunate that there is no robust opposition, good government requires good opposition. The only bright spot for you was the loss of Green seats in the lower house, when Labor does well, the Greens do badly. On the other hand you should look at the Senate result, where the Greens will hold the balance of power, but will work cooperatively with the Labor Government to pass progressive legislation, a good thing.

p/s I hope Jacqui Lambie wins her Tasmanian Senate seat again. Labor looks a good chance to oust her and win a third seat.
