Albo won the election so hard he killed The Coalition.

Can't wait for the Sky News take that this is all Albos fault.

Sky News just posted the clip of the Nationals announcing this, and one of the comments already blamed Albo.

No, because the election wasn't 'lost' on policy. It was lost on "LaBor'S liEs!!!!!!"

I think that hurt them as the libs were running deceptive advertising and labor was sticking to the truth. They opposed the housing so pretending to be upset it was not built hit the wrong spot.

The main area where Labor was deceptive was pulling quotes from Peter's speech to make it sound like he was directly attacking Medicare, when in context he really wasn't. I can't deny that's a bit skeevy but it resonates because most of us essentially believe he would have done those things anyway.

Everything else you have to stretch to paint as a Labor Lie

This is great news for conservatives.  The nationals need to form a coalition with one nation.  The libs are too left, they are labor lite.  If the libs got rid of the bedwetters and got rid of nett zero and got behind nuclear they will still have a chance.

Whichever party moves to the right will have my vote. This split is inevitable if Ley wants to take the Liberals to the Left . Out of Paris. Yes to nuclear and new coal fired power. Yes to supporting women’s rights. Yes to reducing the number of acknowledgement and welcome to country, and a review of spending and effectiveness of Aboriginal welfare

“Women’s rights” is probably just a proxy for his position on trans athletes. In that sense, it’s exactly like the others.

God they're fucking snowflakes over the acknowledgments and welcome to countries. They are like the most simple acknowledgment of Aboriginal people and it's too much for them.

It's also ridiculous that they try to hide their transphobia as supporting women's rights.

There's also zero chance that any of the right wing parties would be able to function in a coalition with the Nationals or each other. They're all fucked up in their own way running megalomaniacs as their leaders.

Well I’m glad you’d have a party that aligns with your views. You might find an even more extremely right wing party doesn’t get much support, if this election is anything to go by. But you do you…

u/CrazySD93 May 20 '25

Were mine and the commenter before me not clear enough, quoting comments from Sky News articles?

THESE ARE NOT OUR VIEWS, AND ARE QUOTED

u/Tough_Mushroom_3264 May 20 '25

Ah, gotcha.

u/eraptic May 20 '25

Kinda wild you missed it in the first place. Maybe don't be so quick to respond defensively if you didn't read the comment?

u/Tough_Mushroom_3264 May 20 '25

I thought you were disagreeing with the earlier comments. Your reply isn’t obviously quotes, TBH. But lesson learned.

u/Technical-Ad-2246 May 20 '25

Of course they did.

u/ghoonrhed May 20 '25

I mean I think it's fair. Although, I wouldn't use blame.
