Labour 83. - the rest 35


What. A. Night. I don’t think many of us can say we saw that result coming.

That’s where we’ll leave you for tonight, thank you so much for following us on the blog.

Here’s what we learned this Saturday 3 May:

Labor has achieved an emphatic win, with strong swings for the party across all states and territories.
Labor has secured majority government, securing at least 86 seats.
Anthony Albanese was overjoyed and became emotional during his victory speech, promising to “govern for every Australian”.
Peter Dutton has lost his seat of Dickson to the Labor challenger, Ali France.
Dutton apologised for the result, conceding “it is not our night”, as Liberal party faithful say there will need to be a hard look at what went wrong for the LNP, which recorded a historic loss.
