We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.

    While I’m extremely happy about the election results, let’s not forget that the Conservatives were on track to sweep before Trump shit the bed so badly that the entire world had to hold its nose.

      perhaps, but they also had an absolutely miserable campaign and labor was phenomenal… it wasn’t a single issue that they won on

        Omg I posted this in the wrong thread! This was in reference to Canada’s election.

        I guess most of that I said can still be salvaged 😂

          There was a definite trump effect, just not as bigly as it was in Canada.

          The conservative leader did nominate a a grossly unqualified “efficiency” minister who claimed she would “make Australia great again”.
