Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.

At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.

    I can finally have a couple months off from stressing over our politics because we reelected the competent side.

      It’s been pretty nice. I’ve been catching up on new (to me) music releases.

      Ah yes because the ALP have been so competent the last 3 years, haven’t they? No, they’ve been a complete shitshow.

      The LNP are a shitshow too, and Dutton deserved to be nowhere near being prime minister, but let’s not sugar coat it - Labor have run the country into the ground. Can you name a single thing that has improved over the last 3 years?

        sure would be nice if there weren’t 2 major conflicts, recovering from the pandemic, and numerous other things that cause cost of living crisis and other things that every other country on earth is also going through

        what’s that i hear? is that the sound of the IMF having ranked us 2nd best in the world for budget balance

        shit mate, maybe you’re repeating half truths and FUD from sky news

        Min wage went, billions in affordable housing investments, GP visits being bulk billed all seem pretty nice. Theres plenty more but I don’t remember them off the top of my head.
