   Looks like three new independents might get up. Good. Hopefully the ALP won’t get a majority and will have to work with them.

   And the left was so scared he was going to be this back-to-the-50s ultraconservative.

   Up like a rocket, down like a stick.

   “Looks like three new independents might get up. Good. Hopefully the ALP won’t get a majority and will have to work with them.”

   No, I’d rather Labor have a majority and be able to govern it it’s own right. Most of the independents are green left and then you have the unspeakable, sinister and very creepy independent by the name of Alex Greenwich. I don’t want any of them near the reins of power.

   As for the NSW Liberals, I have zero sympathy for them. And what’s worse is that they poured money into buffering and saving the wealthy electorates on the north shore and northern beaches because of Teal threats rather than concentrating on the western suburbs and so they’ve now lost a seat like Riverstone, which is a middle class electorate, full of aspirational couples, tradies and so on….it is Riverstone that is the future of the Liberal Party, except that the Liberal Party has no future.

   Anyway One Nation has done well and will end up with a few in the upper house. One Nation also skimmed more than a few votes in the west from the Liberals. Serves them right.

   The NSW Liberals spent twelve years spitting in the faces of its base. Yesterday, the base spat back.

   Oh and in more spitting, Pussotto will probably get his way and Moira will be expelled from the Victorian Liberals. My God, you couldn’t make this up, no wonder Dan is laughing all the way to China.

   The not-that-broad Liberal party.

   Interesting that the AFR is already showing 47 seats to Labor. I wish people would only vote on the day so that we don’t have this prolonged counting of pre-poll votes.

   It’s a broad church so long as you love ruinables and hate biological women.

   I only vote via mail ballot now. I made that decision after being poked in the chest with a how to vote card, after politely refusing it from Gangreen volunteer, many moons ago. While I did get a couple of nervous looks from the people waiting around me, I looked the weasil in the eye and said, “No thank you, I’m trying to reduce my carbon footprint”. This drew 4-5 hearty laughs and left him stomping off red faced.

   I’ve had enough of standing in line and dealing with scum like that. I don’t know if I have any remaining tollerance, to not give them job in the gob if it happened again.

   The NSW Liberals need to work for their base, not against them. Michael Photios and his spin doctors are characterizing the loss as a ‘time for change’ factor. It’s their right to be believe whatever they want. By that logic they might get reelected in 2034.

   Look on the bright side, Stuart Ayres lost Penrith. Marise affectionately comforting him at this time.

    It’s a pity that Minns wimped out of the Pell funeral too. But by modern Labor standards he is very un-woke. Practising Catholic, voted against the abortion and euthanasia laws pushed by the odious Greenwich (contrast with the equally odious fraud Kenneally), ran a bread-and butter campaign on the cost of living and frontline services (whether the unions will let him deliver is the big question, of course), and was, as Gray Connolly points out, to the right of the Kean-dominated Liberals on keeping power stations running.

    Not at all the triumph of wokery that the ABC wants it to be

    Interesting that the Teals didn’t do so well. Partly because the NSW Libs, under Kean’s influence, were pretty wet anyway. But I wonder if the Albanese-Chalmers moves on superannuation had something to do with it. Sacrifices for the environment, for cashed-up Teal sympathisers, are for the rednecks, bogans and uppity ethnics in the Western suburbs and the regions to make, not them.

    The abc collective members don’t care, it’s all about the side. Besides, they know they can pressure Minns more easily with direct threats.

    Don’t forget the Teals went nowhere in the Victorian state election also. Perhaps they were a one-hit wonder.
