Albanese, but only because I can't stand Morrison
The world would be a perfect place, if it wasn't for the humans.

Me too - anyone but Scomo!
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

Whichever way it goes Jacinda will chewing their ear over the 501 deportation issue so hopefully it might have more effect on Albanese.

Counting starts at 8pm NZ time and results will start coming through pretty quickly. Might have a good idea on the way it's going by 9.30pm.
Quite a lot of early voting which seems to help the Left if we use NZ as a guide. They were allowed to start sorting them earlier so that will help the count along.

Wouldn't it be fun if the Greens took it...

Greens going well.
Parliament looking a little hung at the moment...
long way to go, 33.47% counted, but looking OK for labour... ScoMo may be looking for a new job...

so at 42.45% counted, ALP have 65 seats and LNP have 47, with 28 still to call.
with 76 seats needed to win, that suggests ScoMo is goneburger, can't win... The world would be a perfect place, if it wasn't for the humans.

"Early counting showed a strong swing towards Greens candidates and Independents who demanded emissions cuts far above the commitments made by Morrison's coalition. Amanda McKenzie, CEO of the research group the Climate Council, declared climate action the winner of the vote. "Millions of Australians have put climate first. Now, it's time for a radical reset on how this great nation of ours acts upon the climate challenge," she said in a statement." Apparently scomo may step down as party leader, too. So not a bad result so far. Now, if they'll just end the cruelty of their idiotic 501 laws & return those they've exiled to NZ that would be wonderful.

Just watched an Al Jaz piece on the Aussie fires. No wonder the Greens got a swing benefit. More of the electorate needs to wake up though, before Oz slips to far to recover, climate wise. Imagine that desolate centre spreading outwards, and the thin green coast shrinking back...

The electorate are all too aware of the negative effects of climate change and our Nat's should take a long hard look at the reasons behind ScoMo's demise in respect to their stance on environmental issues.

Imagine scores of Oz refugees heading in our direction...will we send them off to Manus island? Will we hell - we'd take them in, I hope. Its going to be interesting to see what effect the Greens will have over there, & if it will all be too late or just in the nick of time.
