SR,

While I'm sad to see Abbott go, there is a lot more that I am chuffed about.

1 Labor got creamed as did their luvies
2 Labor, the unions and Getup burnt their way through roughly $50m to no effect,
3 Getup got so involved that they are almost certain to get limited by donation laws
4 Oakeshott got drop kicked
5 Kerryn Phelps got drop kicked
5 Palmer who gave us the retard Lambie got zilch
6 Zali is now in an invidious position where if she breaks her promise and votes for labor it will be used against her in 3 years, and if she votes for the coalition, no one cares. That she's torched her career to make no difference far from her home and children is a bonus.
7 QSL labor is now looking to get creamed next year.

P.S. If you think Getup is a grass roots organisation you are delusional.

She won her spurs, taking Abbott down, she is in truth a Liberal
And will one day become one
Before that she has a platform to sell her and her Liberal voters climate change story
IF I was a Liberal her victory would make me feel warm and content this morning

In future elections, we'll probably see more of GetUp and of like tactics, which will, inevitably, provoke violence.

Zali might as well continue working for getup as her vote will count for nothing in the Parliament.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You squeezed your bile ducts and gave us this; "Palmer who gave us the retard Lambie got zilch"

Firstly Jackie Lambie might not fit your toff notions about who should sit in our parliament but I for one am glad she is back. Don't agree with a lot of her policies but she is one of the few people in that place who calls it like it is. For you to call her a retard speaks directly to your petty and miserable nature which you should really attend to.

Dear Loudmouth,

Why is voting for a party striving to retrieve penalty rates for some of Australia's most lowly paid workers abandoning the working class? If anything Labour attempted to return to some of its core values and yet you are trying to paint the effort as false. Not buying it I'm afraid.

Secondly if you think Palmer got zilch out of this then you are deluded as well as petty. What he would have stitched up with ScoMo will perhaps never come out in the wash but there is no doubt he is headed for some very favourable treatment.

The bitter uninformed far right known here as the usual suspects need to know the very right was defeated too
And that this is not the last election
