One element of any conservative loss in Australian politics that I absolutely love seeing is the inevitable spleen venting, finger-pointing and blame shifting that goes on within the so-called 'liberal' party.

A curious question. What qualifications does Angus Taylor have to warrant is potential leadership of the wreck of the political vessel Menzies?

Brain-dead ideological culture warriors. THIS is why conservatism in Australia is no longer honest or what they like to call centre-right. They are only extreme rightwing, bordering on fascist.

This has to be a joke surely

The lesson for conservative ideologies after tonights election result is pretty clear. Study history, read genuine liberal philosophy, acknowledge overarching public sentiments not closeted focus groups. Appreciate that history doesn't follow ideological whims. Culture wars are political suicide

Yes indeed, let it now be acknowledged that the Murdoch cesspool is now proven irrelevant, impotent as a political force. Rightwing ideology is now a mouldering corpse to be disposed of.

An emotive moment for the PM, so damn good to see

It’s not just Dutton and Liberal National Coalition defeated at this election. It is lies and hate, it is division and extremism, it is a political party reliant on fear campaigns that polarise and spread fear and confusion. Australia has said no to MAGA politics. This is bigger than an election win

It's times like these that I am proud to be a democratic socialist. Well done Australian Labor Party, we the ppl have the faith, don't ever betray that faith. Victory is sweet, even sweeter now that the cur Dutton is gone.

The vaping lobby is NOT to be equated with Big Tobacco which does contribute. The vaping lobby supports freedom of choice for those of us who use vaping to stop smoking tobacco. Labor does not support this aspect which has NOTHING to do with enticing underage children to vape.
