Australian Federal Election 2025

[Scream Tail]

I'm an OG One Nation voter so I'm glad to see them finally getting a little bit of popularity. Its a shame hating Indians was the final push for the public to accept a lot of the common sense Pauline has been spewing but better late than never.

Also fuck both Albo and Dutton. There's literally nobody good or talented in either of their parties.

*Labor minority - More fucked than the rest

Labor Minority is best case scenario imo, labor should be forcefully reminded of their faggot step kid that doesn't shut the fuck up.

 

[Flaggy but One]

A Liberal guy on ABC just admitted that liberal is now the party of (and I quote) boomers and is fucked with that small a base. Gotta say that level of insight was unexpected but took them long enough.

Edit with the exact quote: "The Liberal base is basically Boomers. We've failed to expand the base, and if you can't expand the base, you can't expand the electoral map."

 

[JelloJerk]

just shit pollies this year, first time i didn't want to vote for anyone

Any party that was promising to slash immigration and at least attempt to fight for freeze peach, (i.e, actually talking about rectifying laws/dismantling the e-safety commissioner), talked about privacy or about the importance of physical cash seemed like a good pick to me. Of course that's assuming they'll follow through or be able to do anything, but it beats the parties that don't talk about it or even go against it.

as much as labour are pretty dog cunts the liberals are just the worst, they were behind most of the worst policies the younger generations now have to deal with

I usually vote for Jacqui Lambie and the hunters, shooters and fishers party but since I moved house, they don't have pollies in my electorate. I'm only happy with my federal vote.

Not like either of those parties will ever get in until all the boomers die.

Shout out to John Howard on that.

If anyone wants to watch the count live, here it is:

Just an update to let you guys know that the ABC servers crashed so no more updates coming through.
Channel 9's results still seem to still be running:

Ah yeah just realised you can get pretty unlucky with options depending on where you live. I guess I got lucky my area had mostly chuddy picks.

Thanks, I was wondering about that and kept refreshing the page like crazy. Their website doesn't seem to be as thorough, so that's annoying.
Current count:

Yeah, I won't out my suburb but outside of One Nation (who I don't vote for in my new area as they never get in and are always retired boomers) I was left with the Libertarian polly who in our area is a massive hillsong shit cunt.

There was to my suprise a Trumpet of Patriots polly, the rest as usual were jeets.

looks pretty damn bad for the coalition so far, labour have gained numerous seats over the last election

 

[Freezing Blue Gnu]

Pretty much every news outlet have called it for Labor apparently.

ABC news reporter has already called it
Well damn that's pretty boring. US election coverage at least goes for the whole night, doesn't it?

 

[Freezing Blue Gnu]

I don't think they've even started counting the WA votes too.

 

[Gerelatha]

race isn't close enough for that to even matter at this point I don't think

Its actually impressive how much the Liberals have shot themselves in the head. I wouldn't be shocked if it was deliberate in some ways.
Peter Dutton looks likely to lose his seat too.
Focusing more on the far right and Queensland worked as expected for the Liberals this year.
They should have absolutely demolished Labor in Melbourne and Victoria due to how terrible Victorian Labor is. But Labor still gained votes.
Maybe this is the reset the Liberals need to be a half decent party again. But I think I'm being a bit too optimistic.

 

[George Lucas]

HAHAHA this is great. I especially love the cope about third parties getting seats. Australians love to be smug about how they get third parties and Americans only have two in government. It doesn’t fucking matter you morons! All that matters in a Parliament is who is in power. Labour and Liberal are the same party at this point, and because of the retarded preferential voting system, one of those two will always win

 

[Frostnipped Todger]

On a negative note: more indians.
On a positive note: I guess we're a little closer to the race war.

 

[YoRHa No. 2 Type B]

preferential voting system

Its still better then the absolutely braindead US system, as voting an Independent isn't just a wasted vote that makes your enemy win.
But yes, Liberal and Labor are the exact same party. This was the first election I really felt like every single party and candidate was horrendous and not worth my vote.

The Trump Curse strikes again.
