Australians have tonight shown they will not support a right-wing, racist leaning, Trump-leaning political party. Very proud of Australia's electoral system, and of our collective common sense #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

This is an impressive result for a first time independent running against the ALP and an LNP incumbent who has been in the seat since 2016.

The seat of Dickson will be interesting!
Also in Dickson. So far 66 numpties have voted for Michael Jessop, formerly of Sunshine Coast, currently facing criminal and weapons charges
Sorry you ended up with him Dickson, but we have had him for yrs and really don't want him back

Chinese-Australians voters have been used a political football throughout the entire campaign. They've had enough, writes Wanning Sun.
Chinese Australians are again being used to sell papers and score political points
Another federal election, another excuse to use Chinese Australians as political footballs, with Jane Hume even alluding to 'Chinese spies' handing out leaflets. It has not gone unnoticed.

I don’t think we’ve had a more divisive politician than Dutton
We’ve got whack jobs like ON/UAP -but Dutton is supposed to represent a major party & their constituents.
He’s shown no integrity or unity. He’s consistently punched down, created culture wars, chaos & hate.
He’s NOT what we need here

Why aren’t journalists across recent history? The last govt sacked public servants and replaced them with more expensive consultants. Labor got rid of the consultants and reemployed permanent public servants who could actually do the job. Is Dutton going to ring consultants again? He will have to.
