Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response.
Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

The Coalition has mistaken the unity it has found as a party and like minded political bedfellows over its response for actual unity. Its feverish rhetoric comes from the brief cohesiveness it’s discovered after so many fractures, rather than an organic groundswell. It also will not hold.

I've been playing with sankey charts to see how seats in the lower house have been changing over time.
It's interesting to see the double defeat of the Coalition over two cycles and how big a mountain it is for them to return to power caseybriggs.substack.com/p/australias...

The recount will look at first preference ballot papers for myself and Tim Wilson, and all informal ballot papers.

The Liberals have spent 20 years focusing their election campaigns on culture warring and fear mongering against Labor. This is because they do not have any ideological interest in policies that are good for the masses - they only serve a narrow elite constituency. This is the elephant in the room.

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.
