Australian PM concedes election defeat as conservatives ousted

[cc]

Prime Minister Scott Morrison conceded defeat after an election on Saturday and the opposition Labor Party was set to end almost a decade of conservative rule, possibly with the support of pro-environment independents.



Partial results showed Morrison's Liberal-National coalition had been punished by voters in Western Australia and affluent urban seats in particular.



"Tonight, I have spoken to the Leader of the Opposition and the incoming Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. And I've congratulated him on his election victory this evening," Morrison said, stepping down as leader of his party.



Labor had yet to reach the 76 of the 151 lower house seats required to form a government alone. Final results could take time as counting of a record number of postal votes is completed.



A strong showing by the Greens and a of group of so-called "teal independents," who campaigned on policies of integrity, equality and tackling climate change, means the makeup of the new parliament looks set to be much less climate-skeptic than the one that supported Morrison's pro-coal mining administration.

Fucking socialist cunt Albanese..



He's worse than Bernie Sanders.

[Breakfall]

Well thank Christ Albanese is willing to address climate change. Now let's see if he fulfils all of his promises and we don't have another lying muppet like Scomocchio governing the country.



Good luck with him trying to unite a divided nation too. Standing in the centre and governing all Australians will be a massive task for sure.



It won't be easy for Albanese!

Albanese is a stooge and man-made climate change is a farce.



Australians deserve who we voted for.



We'll soon be a Venezuela of the south seas.

Climate change isn't a farce. Albanese may help educate the nation!? Who the hell knows? Time will tell.



You should back up your claims when you choose to make such outlandish statements. Did you even know that disturbing the moon's lunar surface raised it's core temperature? Enough of the stubborn silly talk.

Anthropogenic climate change is a farce foisted on the gullible....

Climate change has occurred in this world since the year dot. Not my point. The climate change today is a result of humankind's accelerated impact on the world. It's called a carbon footprint and it has implications on future generations. For people to argue against humankind's impact is both selfish and irresponsible. I'm qualified on the subject. But do continue to sway me...

Hahahahaa...no I haven't. I'm quite in touch with the reality of situation life. The cold hard facts and negative impact that humanity has had on our world and the climate itself is irrefutable.

A socialist-green coalition. It doesn't get any worse for the middle class. Hold on to your wallets and say goodbye to investment. You see in Canada what an ideologically driven regime has meant for average Canadians.



I predict this new Australian regime will be one and done.

Probably got thrown out because of the draconian Covid measures they forced on everyone.

But, the Labour Party probably wanted more and continue with them.

God help Australians. A prog green coalition means a few people do very well at the expense of the masses. The climate emergency that developed countries talk about is all baloney. It is a cover to make the middle class poor.

True dat  ... socialists with not quite enough votes to rule have to sell their soul  to green in order to rule



A deadly and destructive mix

It makes me sick the way traditional socialist parties like the NDP or Aussie Labour have made a deal with the green devil.
