On the current call ALP won't win outright. Would need 24 of the 34 undecided.

ABC has the LNP up 73-64 while Sky has them up 70-59. Shows differences in how they do early calls.

It's almost worth another three years of putting up with the libs for another 3 years just to see the look on Shortens smug, punchable face when he concedes.

My sentiments exactly. Need to take a something from a loss.

Or Albo? I used to be a big fan of Plibersek, but I find her quite condescending now.

Possibly, could see either.

Given this result you’d probably think Albo has a better chance in the marginal seats.

Plibersek and Wong trotting out multiple excuses but are light years away from the real reason they've lost.

Making excuses and pointing their fingers in blame.

Like it or not, this election was lost on Shortens smugness, his high taxes and his ridiculous climate change agenda.

Only have to point the finger in one direction. Pretty sure they know it but cannot say publicly. At least not at this stage.

Looks like Palmer wasted his dough for nought at this stage of the count - according to Sky News.

Extremely satisfying that he won't win one seat.

Geez even the panels are talking about policies in identify all these reasons for the pending result. This purely and simply a rejection of Bill Shorten as a prospective PM.

I don't know. It would have been an easy decision for me to vote for the ALP if he wasn't so focused on taxing the crap out of self funded retirees. As much as I can't stand him, I was hoping for a clean out of the libs.

the only policy take away ive seen made clear on this, is that the LIBS won in spite of their climate change policy... they'll need to review their policies on that for sure and certain... having Abbott out the **** door will probably help that?

You've had one.

No Pine.
No Banks.
No Turnbull.
No Bishop.
Now, no more Abbott.

Now we'll have a somewhat stable, conservative Liberal party again and none of this left leaning idiocy that crept in.

Oh wait, Turnbull and Bishop were, but Abbot certainly wasn’t

And Turnbull and Bishop were certainly not the problem in the liberal party

I think you'll find this new Liberal government is probably trending towards being more moderate than conservative, Dubs.
