The left are still crying about their big loss ......

If that were true Shorten would now be our PM. Oh but he's not is he?

Brian the day after the election.

Nah. Brian is the bloke who wears socks with his sandals.

Try again, Black Orchid. I refer you to the outcome of the 1998 Australian federal election where the ALP won the popular vote but failed to gain government. Can you guess why, Black Orchid?

1998? I couldn't care less.

The majority of Australians did not want Shorten as you said. Live with it.

Typical, Black Orchid. And of course you're not curious. Until you figure out that the popular vote doesn't necessarily determine who wins government you're going to be acting like the fool you appear to be.

The majority of Australians did not want Shorten as you said. Live with it.

The final results are still not known, Black Orchid. Let us call a truce on that until the final outcome is known.

there was another talkback on the radio this afternoon.
Many long term alp supporters rang up, they have deserted the ALP

they are very disappointed and I sense may be hard to coax back

................ Should it be elected on the weekend of May 18, the Labor Party has promised to offer free sex change procedures, set up a tax payer-funded National Gender Centre, and appoint a new Commissioner for Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Intersex Status Issues. This is completely in keeping with the party’s fixation with social justice.

To be clear, when the Labor Party talks about social justice, it doesn’t mean things like equality before the law, the equal claim to rights as citizenship, or free speech, which it clearly considers to be outdated and antiquated ideas which should be consigned to the dustbin of history.

No, when the Labor Party talks about social justice, it means the complete rearrangement of society, so that there is no privilege, no ­hierarchy and no difference. This has everything to do with engineering, and very little to do with justice. One of the ways it proposes to fulfil the party’s self-proclaimed mission to reshape Australian ­society in its own progressive image, is to get society to a point in which we are a genderless, ­androgynous mass.

It genuinely believes that a genderless world in which there are neither men nor women, boys nor girls will be better, because if there are no men, women, boys or girls, there can be no difference between us. And if there is no difference, there can be neither oppressor or oppressed. Hey presto, you have a world of perfect equality.

A reading of the party’s 320-page manifesto entitled “A Fair go for Australia” reveals Labor’s preoccupation with all things gender. For example, the word “gender” is mentioned 148 times, “intersex” 55 times and “transgender” a total of 35 times. Compare this to “homelessness” (45), “immigration” (24) and “red tape” (3). We can see where Labor’s pri­orities lie. The manifesto’s authors have ­clearly cast themselves in the role of ­social justice warriors. ...........

I fail to see how any sane person could support this. Albanese will carry it on and fail again in 3 years. They should have gotten rid of the old and tainted and brought in someone fresh and sensible.
