LABOR'S LANDSLIDE WIN https://www.abc.net.au/news

Too hard to pick out one story to quote; the main info is at the sources above, along with graphs, charts etc.
Peter Dutton, Opposition leader, has lost his seat. (I alway said he was unelectable anyway). This was a HUGH win for Albo and the Labor party, now with an unassailable majority in the house.
Thanks must go to Donald J Trump for making this possible; scaring right-wingers off their party and of course to Dutton who thought it was a good idea to parrot trumps BS.
Whoohoo - Go Labor!
