Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. They’ve been thoroughly told NO.

Having learned *nothing* from the fall of Morrison, the Liberal party seem determined to learn nothing from the complete slaughter of Dutton. Let me spell it out for them: that thing you are calling “the woke left” is officially THE AUSTRALIAN CENTRE now. Heed it or weep. #auspol
Delicious to see Lord Downer and assorted NewsCorpse halfwits howling that the Liberals must now go hard right and take on the Progressive Woke Left. I couldn’t agree more…

Labor wins with a superior campaign and weak opposition – now it’s time to make the second term really matter
The Albanese government is returned for a second term with an increased majority. It’s time to make it count.

This election, as well as campaigning for the arts, I’ve also been covering the race in Wannon in Victoria’s west. It’s another really interesting regional electorate, where independent Alex Dyson has a real chance against Liberal stalwart Dan Tehan www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/01/e...
Which man in a blue blazer and chinos will win Wannon?
The race for Wannon is a contrast of old and new. Far-right preferences may decide the fate of Liberal frontbencher Dan Tehan.
