Not a single seat won in by-elections

I thought Albo might be an improvement but he wants to bring in even more immigrants! Every PM or Leader of the Opposition from here on in should be forced to live in south west Sydney for the full duration of their tenure.

Perth and Fremantle may be about to take out the dubious honour of recording the lowest voter turnout in an electorate since compulsory voting was introduced into Australia.

Labor held onto both seats in the by-election on Saturday, assisted significantly by the Liberal Party's decision not to field a candidate in the traditionally left-wing districts.

As of Sunday afternoon, Perth was recording voter turnout rates of 62 per cent, and 64 per cent in Fremantle.

A portion of postal votes have already been processed and are reflected in participation numbers, according to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).

The lowest previously recorded turnout in a by-election since compulsory voting was introduced into Australia in 1924 was 69.5 per cent in the NSW seat of Wentworth, in 1981.

Not something to be overly excited about.

Former foreign affairs minister Alexander Downer has accused supporters of Mayo candidate Rebekha Sharkie of directing "horrible hate" at his family during his daughter Georgina's campaign for the seat.

It followed a post from his wife on a local Facebook group asking people to vote for her daughter, which garnered dozens of negative responses.

"We are Adelaide Hills people and been in politics here for decades and through multiple elections never come across such abuse," Mr Downer posted to the group.

Nothing to be proud of.
