Cont: Australian Politics - The Morrison Period Part II

[lionking]

I think Labor will win. The confidence Labor have in their own data on the swing seats seems sincere. Murdoch editorials getting behind Labor. What is up with that? Seeing some writing on the wall?

Latest Newspoll had it 53-47 for Labor. That should be enough to balance any big swings to LNP in certain seats and massive numbers of independents.

Sure. I got nothing more than a whiff of faith in the polls and a truck load of wishful thinking. That and the divination of Speckles the Psychic Crocodile.

I am beginning to think Labor might bring it home, but I guess there is no point in guessing now, we will know soon enough.

One thing for certain, Antony Green will call it by 7.30….

 

[lionking]

I will have no great joy with Albo as PM, but far more joy than Scumo getting up.

It's dumb hearing Barnaby talk about how coalitions are bad despite being the leader of the minor partner of a coalition.

 

[arthwollipot]

I agree with Tim.

I would be perfectly satisfied with a minority Labor government. And that's not just an "anyone but Morrison". A Green/Teal balance of power will be good for the country, I think.

I hate this coverage. I would rather be watching the Chaser doing it.

So much unsaid like how many people voting for Deves.

ETA: Holding Birmingham’s feet to the fire after his candor on that issue was somewhat entertaining.

 

[Wildy]

Urgh. I don't how things are looking so far.

Hung Parliament? Bring it on.

Mr Potato head in trouble?

It appears to have turned around just as I wrote this post.

ABC have ALP ahead and Dutton likely to lose his seat.

ABC: LNP 45 ALP 52 OTH 5

Still early, though.

I suppose that if there is a change in government, we should probably agree on who should start the new thread, to avoid what happened last time.

I vote you start it.

 

[lionking]

Still looking good for Labor. Not looking any seats yet.

 

[arthwollipot]

Interesting thing just come up on the ABC. The five electorates with the highest proportion of Chinese language speakers are swinging heavily towards Labor.

 

[Sideroxylon]

We are switching to Sky for salt and cope entertainment.

 

[Sideroxylon]

Sky are calling it lost. Very somber mood.

That makes me happy. Anything that upsets Murdoch is good.

Switch over. Getting some massive laughs. Micheal Kroger’s lashing out and tears over Frydenberg losing his seat was gold. ABC way too dry. Also felt like I was listening to people over full on their own bath water from past work accolades.

They are well into self parody territory. Champaign TV.
