Haven't seen another post for election updates yet, so creating this. Share your bets on how many times Anthony Green is going to have a screen malfunction.

Good news, apparently Australia does not like politicians who align themselves with fascists

Bad news, not a minority government

Not looking good for the greens at all, I'm really surprised Melbourne has turned on them by the looks of it ?

In the lower house. Senate currently looks likely to have a Greens balance of power. https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal/2025/results/senate

Beware the propaganda.

People of Dickson had an opportunity to do the funniest thing of all term and they took it.

You bloody rippers you <3

On Sky, Andrew Bolt just blamed Elon Musk for Peter Dutton not winning on Donald Trump's platform.

I just can't....

"I won't mention pre-poll because people ARE drinking when I say 'pre poll'"

I was wearing a Nazi uniform in a private Facebook post and it’s the media’s fault that the voting public found out about it. - Jacinta Price

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That was some of the most twisted logic I'd ever heard.

I was wearing the hat as a joke, and four words have no meaning, but you need to take me seriously!

WAT?

Dutton was poison and deeply unpopular already in the Scomo years. Looks like people didn't forget. I'm starting to feel some landslide vibes here early on.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Sink LNP. Bring up some socialists

Did Jacinta just seriously waffle out an implied allegation that the AEC is corrupt? That's fucking insane.

A solid concession speech. Can't imagine such a speech coming from any of the Liberal party's leaders over the last decade.

Jeez, remember Malcolm Turnbull having a drunken tantrum on election night and threatening to send the AFP after the Labor party... That was his ACCEPTANCE speech.

First screen malfunction 20 mins in. Drink!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was the very first reveal of results!

I'd say it's worthy of a double, but I reckon we need some restraint this early on.

I feel sorry for Dutton's kids. They only have a choice of one out of eight properies each...

Very tough going

Some senator on abc called himself a reagan republican. The man should be arrested for treason.

ABC right now: BREAKING: Peter Dutton has lost his seat in parliament

Unreal

"Let's wait for the pre-poll" has to be on the bingo card next time.

Sky News panel all dreading that call from Rupert.

"What the FUCK did you just let happen? Was I not clear after Canada?"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

No mate, you aligned with trump and people can see that the ideology is poison. It's not the "TRUMP FACTOR" if you're wearing maga hats, talking about woke in school, and doing an Australian doge. That's you having dogshit politics.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Antony Green was right.

Look at what's going on with the TAS vote when it gets to 5%, and you have your winner lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Eat shit, Dutton. What a shit campaign those idiots ran

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

On the one hand, a bit disappointed that the Greens haven't done amazingly on results so far. But I have a huge sense of relief that Dutton and the Coalition have been soundly rejected.

ABC, you are wasting your time asking policy questions...

The LNP doesn't know. And it's an inappropriate time to say anyways

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Dutton behind in early count!

Oh no! Anyways...

Omg. The lamb and bee in the background. Lambie!

Never thought thinking about Dickson would make me feel a certain something.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Fuck yeah. Looks like Dickson has fallen.

46% of the vote counted and Labor candidate in the lead on 57%

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Man by the way they go on you'd think the greens had been in government.

If Antony's computer is down for the rest of the night, does that count as one drink, or do we need to drink each time they cross to him?

Asking for a friend. My poor liver.

I'm so relieved.

On Sky, Andrew Bolt just said if Dutton loses, LNP has no candidate worthy of leader 🤣
