Before I start here is:
Okay why is the election result bad?
Firstly it rewards a timid government. Australia desperately needs a reforming government. fiscal policy, taxation, NDIS, Medicare, education, energy. The list goes on and on
Secondly the result means although not impossible it is highly unlikely that the LNP could win the election. This is not good.
Thirdly the Liberals needs a new leader and the choices are ahem poor. The government will need to be held to account.
Losers of the election
- Dennis Shanahan and Ben Fordham. Both highlighted a mickey mouse MMS poll showing Chris Bowen would lose his safe seat easily. This was always a joke
- Sharri Markson was convinced the polls were wrong. She was right but they were wrong in hoa many votes the ALP would get.
- I could not help but laugh when Dutton said on Sky after dark there were too many journalists who were activists not journalists. This showed neither person had any self awareness
- The attack on the ABC and others of promoting hate speech was poor judgement. It is trusted by more people than any other organisation regrading news. this merely amplified the negative trumpism of the campaign
- Peter Dutton's speech was very gracious however I agree with David Crowe. journalists were too easy on him not too hard. He was poor at press conferences because of this
- The Murdoch press was a bad loser. They di not know what was coming nor did they have any idea of what the punters were worried about.
What I should have added. the ALP has not won like this since Curtin in 1943. Albo becomes a legend.
I do think Albo should retire midway through the term, Let Jim Chalmers take the reign and put Andrew Charlton in Treasury!!
