I must have missed it. Quite possible as i took very little interest in the Election build up. So did Albo actually even discuss green-lighting the Uluru Statement in the campaign ? I mean it seemed to be front & centre of his acceptance speech - alongside his single mother & housing commission upbringing. Anyhow good news travels quick in remote Qld , NT - they will all be madly celebrating within a week or so. So pleased for them all - esp all the elitist indigenous groups. Now we just have to wait & see when they recognise that financial black hole the LNP left them with & how they can reward Grace for all her successfully executed white anting........

very true. He might rattle on about his upbringing, to the aggravation of the 'I already own a house mob', but there are a lot of young people despairing of ever affording even a shack. Housing affordability is the number one priority, in many eyes. If it means the government need to fast-forward more public housing, then bloody do it...otherwise the homeless will grow in numbers.

Greens and Labor agreed to preference the other first then Independents next, putting their own differences aside to get rid of the LNP. This turned a lot of races into 3 corner contests many putting Labor against Green. It worked bigly but exposed several Labor members to be beaten by a Green. Here in Richmond our Labor member of 15 years was expected to win easily but this arrangement has put her neck and neck with the Green. Ironically though the Nat here placed Labor above Green which will likely save her. Antony Green suspended several calls last night because of the confusion caused by this. 2 more seats are still facing the same situation. ------------- |

Since 1983 there has been 15 federal elections and the Albanese ALP government has created the record for the winning party to have the lowest primary vote (32.8%) over those 39 years. Hardly an endorsement from the electorate, when compared to Hawke who got 49.5% when he beat Fraser in 1983 or Howard's 46.7% when he beat Latham in 2004. With around 66% of the electorate's primary vote favouring other parties, I expect the road ahead for Elbow to be a little bumpy.
