ABC 2025 Election Watch Party

Good news, apparently Australia does not like politicians who align themselves with fascists

Bad news, not a minority government

People of Dickson had an opportunity to do the funniest thing of all term and they took it.

You bloody rippers you <3

On Sky, Andrew Bolt just blamed Elon Musk for Peter Dutton not winning on Donald Trump's platform.

I just can't....

"I won't mention pre-poll because people ARE drinking when I say 'pre poll'"

Fucking LOL

I was wearing a Nazi uniform in a private Facebook post and it’s the media’s fault that the voting public found out about it. - Jacinta Price

Dutton was poison and deeply unpopular already in the Scomo years. Looks like people didn't forget. I'm starting to feel some landslide vibes here early on.

Did Jacinta just seriously waffle out an implied allegation that the AEC is corrupt? That's fucking insane.

A solid concession speech. Can't imagine such a speech coming from any of the Liberal party's leaders over the last decade.

Jeez, remember Malcolm Turnbull having a drunken tantrum on election night and threatening to send the AFP after the Labor party... That was his ACCEPTANCE speech.

First screen malfunction 20 mins in. Drink!

Some senator on abc called himself a reagan republican. The man should be arrested for treason.

"Let's wait for the pre-poll" has to be on the bingo card next time.

I feel sorry for Dutton's kids. They only have a choice of one out of eight properies each...

Very tough going

Eat shit, Dutton. What a shit campaign those idiots ran

Sky News panel all dreading that call from Rupert.

"What the FUCK did you just let happen? Was I not clear after Canada?"

No mate, you aligned with trump and people can see that the ideology is poison. It's not the "TRUMP FACTOR" if you're wearing maga hats, talking about woke in school, and doing an Australian doge. That's you having dogshit politics.

On the one hand, a bit disappointed that the Greens haven't done amazingly on results so far. But I have a huge sense of relief that Dutton and the Coalition have been soundly rejected.

Antony Green was right.

Look at what's going on with the TAS vote when it gets to 5%, and you have your winner lol

ABC, you are wasting your time asking policy questions...

The LNP doesn't know. And it's an inappropriate time to say anyways

Fuck yeah. Looks like Dickson has fallen.

46% of the vote counted and Labor candidate in the lead on 57%

cLiMaTe 2o0 & TeAlS StOp uS fRoM WiNnInG!

Not your climate policies?

Dutton behind in early count!

Oh no! Anyways...

Omg. The lamb and bee in the background. Lambie!

I wonder how Gina is handling the news tonight

I'm so relieved.

Man by the way they go on you'd think the greens had been in government.

Fucking sky news just called it!

Call it, Antony!

Go out with a bang!

On Sky, Andrew Bolt just said if Dutton loses, LNP has no candidate worthy of leader 🤣

Never thought thinking about Dickson would make me feel a certain something.

With the size of this win, ALP could have another 9 years if they govern for the people

Wo.en problem. Drink.

James McGrath being an absolute shining example of why people’s opinions of politicians is lower than dirt.

If Antony's computer is down for the rest of the night, does that count as one drink, or do we need to drink each time they cross to him?

Asking for a friend. My poor liver.

The final horcrux has been destroyed.

"Trump Factor"

Might hear that a bit tonight.

YouTube ABC News link for those not watching on TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOTiJkg1voo

Duttons concession was shit.

"Labor lied about us so the voters got it wrong"

LNP narrative already kicking in.

"Not like Trump"

That big dick Dickson swing baby!

"nice try James" go get him Sabrah

Greens not looking too hot.

C'mon DICKSON!

Clive Palmer on the 7 panel claiming victory tells you everything you need to know about Channel 7

Some of the ABC commentators sound like they can't finish their sentences because they are full on having an orgasm lol

Those nasty nasty greens. Lol

No-one booed.

When Dutton blamed himself for the loss no-one booed. Every other concession speech I can remember in my way too many years. The losing party faithful boo when the leader blames themselves.

Price got a much colder reception than on Sky, lol.

Every former prime minister had a lot of great things to say about Antony Green except Morrison who used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

He said Antony was a professional 3 times. I knew a guy who was a church minister and he talked a lot, but never really said much because he said everything 3 times. I think they teach them that at church... Tell them what you will say, tell it to them and then tell them what you just said.

Hey, also, thanks for the post!

It’s just pure brain worms on Sky News. I couldn’t watch for more than 5 minutes

Wow Labor almost got a clean sweep in tas.

Proof I'm not just fake online drinking. 😀

Over already. There goes my plans for the evening!

Oh good! Antony had his computer working again

9 news just officially called it for Labor

Pre-poll votes have become LNP copium.

Did Anything Green just call Futton, Peter Dickhead?

"Bad news everywhere [for the LNP]" - Antony Green

Antony is back!! Turned it off and on again!

"Solid"

Ooh. Computer problem! DRIIIINK!

Dutton is hiding! What a coward!

Yoo, nice result. Shout outs from Canada.

All these candidates in black like they're attending a funeral....

Mmmm. Roasted potato.

Okay I'm gonna watch some Black Mirror soon. This potato is cooked.

Thanks everyone! Short and sweet.

Huff the copium my boy. Huff

James is mad.

No graphics! Drink!

Christopher Pyne saying this might be worst result since party creation with less than a third of all seats.

If the ex-ABC presenter in Franklin wins the seat off the ALP candidate, will the LNP become pro ABC?

Congrats on taking care of your garbage.

I'm abso-fucking-lutely stoked at this result...

... but how have they called it already with only 2 seats declared ?

PollBludger calling Dickson for Labor.

"Lets just wait for the numbers to come in"

Yeah fuck off James. No one likes a sore loser.

Tasmania went all liberal last time due to pokies or something right? Seems like things are swinging back now in a big way.

As a Perthlet, I'm pretty happy overall. Only real disappointment is Canning; would have thought it's within Labor's grasp but currently looks like a 5% swing against Labor, even after sitting MP Andrew Hastie said we should give our mineral stockpiles to Trump to stop the tarriffs. Any Mandurah locals have some insight into the sentiment - is it the Keep The Sheep campaign maybe?

So happy with the result this election. Hopefully a sign of elections to come!

I feel a bit sorry for the LNP guy on the ABC panel.

I think they should allow a tag team, and switch in somebody fresh

I like that they are showing appropriate respect talking about Peter Dutton picking up a seat.

He may not even hold his own.

Sky officially called it as well.

Screen still down. Lol

Did this new ABC guy white ant Antony Green?

I'm so pissed off for Antony!

Lol snip

Screen still down! Drink!

Release the Kraken (the pre-poll votes)

As someone watching from the other side of the world - is this another election victory that can be chalked up to Trump?

Sky are just cutting down Dutton like he's a zombie lol

One of the dumb, slow moving ones.

Did she say chemical Ali?

Thesis please

Yeah Jim, look for some corn while you're up there!

I'll be interested to see who pops up to position themselves as the leader of whoever loses...

And there the ABC call is.

Sky has crossed to Tony Abbott

The beams have crossed and Albo lost

Godam, don't you clowns jinx Antony's last call!

Okay results starting to flow now.

Jeebus, calm down ABC. It's 5% counted.

Oh wow! Tony Abbot on sky news showing us all that he belongs in the bin. Lol
