Aussie Election: Big win for Labor [View all]

Extraordinary victory for Albanese as Labor defies predictions, seizes key seats
A powerful swing to Labor in more than a dozen seats put it in position to increase its majority in parliament.

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!
