Ay yi yi yi yi yi yi 

Good luck.  I think you guys will need it.

Well Tanwin it seems you got an experienced one

my only memory of this Rishworth woman is her sitting behind Shorten continually "nodding her head" in Question Time.

Why not have a separate women's legislature as Shorten is agreeing to for indigenous?  Then you could have separate legislatures for each of the many ethnic and religious (for left-favoured Islam alone of course) legislatures.  Bargain!

Might the demonisation of men not be needed then?  Or will the demonisation of those despised 'old white men' always be necessary to portray political opponents (as in anyone who is not 'woke') as uneducated male brutes who disrespect women?

HooHoo and Kiah, how did you form these thoughts? From personal experiences?  

I suspect, they took one look at you and drew their conclusions!

There would be many like you suffering a bad hangover this morning. If only you were smart enough to realise the media is 70-80% left leaning. You really believed Bill Shorten won all the debates against Morrison. :( What a let down it must be for you?? Keep yer chin up old boy. 

Don't believe everything you read babe!

The far right wing propaganda machine should take a bow, Adrianus. What absolute rubbish about the media being left-leaning! What planet are you on?

And yes, I can't wait for old, white, conservative males to move on. I'm sick of them controlling everything  since the day I was born.

Yes, Adrianus, I've formed this opinion from serious, painful, personal experience, for more than 50 years now. Australians are changing & I hope our future governments start representing that soon. Unfortunately, the LNP are stuck in the past & seem determined to deter brown & female faces from their ranks.

Yes I'm dissapointed Jacinta Price didnt get quite enough votes but unlike you its not because she is a brown faced woman. Its because I think she has a lot to offer her electorate. I do hope she runs again.

I think Jacinta Price is great, too, even though I disagree with her on many political issues.

Adrianus, do you think she fell short in the election because of her brown, female face or because of her politics?

You have a point Tanwin. Preselection these days is anything goes and we pay for the blunders :(

LOL

Is that Bill Hayden's 'drover's dog' at the bottom right?  Ominous for Mr Bill 'Whatever She Says' Shorten, who could lose the unlosable election.

He is PM.

HAHAAHA may the best joker win. Haven't answered my phones for ages. They're all ringing, Last night had Scotty himself, then a little later Julie, and on and on it goes. Tomorrow can't come quick enough.

had phone call at 11PM election eve...sound asleep..husband heard it but let go to answering machine..listened to message   this morning...was a robo call from Labor.  what a darn cheek to ring people at that time of night!

I see you backed the asparamancer prediction from my post above LOL

'Jemima Packington is the world’s only Asparamancer who can peer into the future by tossing aparagus inthe air.

I have Channel 10 in the background and from the asparagus reading COALITION will WIN'

You would think that you would give me half the winnings ;)

no asparamater for me....this is what I took note of...the researcher who predicted Donald Trump would win!

It certainly reinforces the saying that the only poll that counts is the one on voting day doesn't it?  They were not my choice (as you no doubt know) but congratulations to them anyway.  As they say winners are grinners and losers can please themselves. 

I chose to believe there is good and bad in both camps and I don't believe that the sky will fall tomorrow because my chosen side didn't win.  As a friend likes to say a bird needs both the left and the right wing to fly.

Hi Leonie,

Yours is the healthy way ahead :)

Frankly, the red, blue, green or whatever political team tragics would be well advised not to allow life to pass by while wasting their life in front of The Box and at the same time being revved up by talking heads who make up - as in INVENT - the news.

I have acquaintances who have wasted precious hours of most days of their life agonising over Trump, or Clinton.  But why?  Can't they see that life's sand is trickling away? 

Who cares what Waleed says, for example?  He and other motormouths are paid to generate controversy.  One, a grown man who wants to be taken seriously(?!) even wears a red nappy on his head, while another talks endlessly about a legal appeal by some cardinal that is going to happen anyway and regardless of his support for that convict.

I have great faith in the sound judgment of the Australian people.  Even 'Richo' can say he was wrong.  Bless him too for being open about his friendships and recognition of the talent and goodwill on the LNP 'side' as well as for his own colleagues.  

I pronounce Scott Morrison KING of PROPAGANDA!!! (with more than a little help from his Ruperty & Clivey friends).

Yes, he won the election (congratulations Scott/Trumpy) but truth died in the process. Our democratic society just took one big step backwards, in my opinion.

Every cloud has a silver lining Hoohoo, and in this case the biggest losers of all are the online pollsters who have been weilfully blind to the obvious faults in their survey methods. At least poll driven decisions in the future will receive the scrutiny they deserve.

I don't give a rat's A about the pollsters - I just care about Country & people. Will Morrison even consider the Uluru Statement? Turnbull dismissed it immediately, & then HE was dismissed as Prime Minister (because he wasn't far right wing enough!)

Poor fella my country.

Curran moved to Adelaide to commence her university studies after spending her teenage years abroad living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

After life in the Middle East, Laura states that she has developed a strong passion for South Australia.

Tanwin

Perhaps one day she will be our Prime Minister.

To get 37.6% of the 76.7% counted ... she did very well.

I got it all wrong this time ABE. For the first time in aeons, I voted Labor only to see them fold in. Morrison put up a good fight and I have to admit, he had some clever people around him.

So Ray, you didn't get an epiphany like me when you got to the polling booth. On the way there all I saw was myfranking credits flying through the door. Like Scotty, I prayed for a miracle and got it. Now I may even join the church since his new theme song is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iug5KMRW7yM

Reagan, I am told the miracle result is proof of Morrison's great sky spirit

Well I'm happy to know that my income is not getting cut by 50%. And my home is not dropping in value any faster than it is already. Shorten picked a lot of fights with different minority groups which he thought didnt matter to him. 

I agree with the comment that this election was about the hip pocket. Everyone was frightened into thinking they'd lose out if we changed government.

Poorer people believed the lies & propaganda that they'd lose what little they had & richer people (who so often follow their religion of greed) just wedged in, as they do. Yep, you greedy rich ones scored a win, but the future of our land & society just took a big nose-dive.

Pity the LNP aren't more forward looking, like beyond the next electoral cycle. It's my belief we've all lost out, culturally & economically, because now Morrison will say he's got a mandate for more of the same (6 years of LNP ineptitude). Go whistle, Australian culture! Hello USA!
