Absolutely amazing that despite years and decades of smear campaigns against Labor and millions being funnelled into this campaign, in the end, Australians ignored Murdoch and the lobbyists and recognised that even though things may not be perfect, they have faith that things will get better. 🇦🇺 ❤️
Can we just spare a thought, too, for the official end of News Corp as a political force. No one outside an aging political class pays any attention to them.

Going from the fear and concern of early January where polling showed the LNP winning a majority, to now with Labor winning reelection and Dutton losing Dickson has been hilarious, and makes me so proud of my fellow Australians for standing up 🇦🇺❤️
