Conservatives win Australian election

Labor did mess it up, however the liberals basically own all mainstream media with an obvious bias. Australian values are very disappointing considering everything that has been happening these past few years.

>conservatives
lmao
I know it doesn't need to be said but.
lmao

You must be new here

No

yup pro-mass migration, pro-multiculturalism, pro-big business and banking, anti-traditional party will bring our guns backs!!!!
The only reason they won was because rich boomers voted for them because labor pretty much threatened to sieze all their assets and give them to poor people and immigrants

lol no, but everybody who wants one still has one, or can still get one. We're not living in a gun-free utopia like US media says.

The two big parties in Aus politics are bland globalists in suits who want to flood the country with foreigners, but one wants to flood it with rapefugees in addition.

You gotvit backwards m8.
The left owns all the media.

lmao all that shit aussies talk and they cant even own a fuckin semi-automatic rifle? BAHAHAHAHA

rupert murdoch, classic gommunist

>liberals basically own all mainstream media
Reminder that the chairperson of the our state-run media, ABC, is (((Ita Buttrose)))

Globalist fuck who wants to create the universal barrio, yes. They're allied with the communists because "muh poor brown people" works for their narrative right now.

He stands for global capitalism and zionism so yes

The ABCs election coverage was a joke, Penny Wong's tantrums were the only thing that was enjoyable.

>Conservatives
if they are anything like American or Canadian I would guess no but they can count on more based immigrants then the liberal party was willing to bring in

Yeah I couldn't watch it, just watched sky instead.
Are the clips of her sperging on youtube?

>labor pretty much threatened to sieze all their assets and give them to poor people and immigrants
>and immigrants
Holy fuck, I didn't even bother looking up policies this time around because I knew it was going to be awful either way but wow am I glad I didn't vote labor now.
Where the fuck is the un-immigration party.

If you not only heard the media, but actually listened; maybe you would notice the differences in how each party is talked to and about.
Plus knows what's up

>un-immigration party.
Don't know how One Nation only manages to get 3% even though polling shows that 80% of Australians want reduced immigration (according to a BBC poll)
Australia is so fucked breh

no you utter newfag

I can't even vote for them.
Apparently some recent offshoot from them is even better though?

Also if put to a referendum that only actual australians could participate in you might get a majority result to reduce (not reverse...soon) immigration. But when it comes to the actual election most people know they're wasting their time bothering with any but the main two parties.
So there were probably lots of people that might vote for One Nation that voted Liberal instead because they couldn't be fucked.

>muh racism
This post leads me to believe the opposite of what you say is the truth.

>even though polling shows that 80% of Australians want reduced immigration
ah yes
all voters in australia are single issue voters

This too. Unfortunately while immigration is probably the biggest issue, not everyone sees it as such.

>The less educated areas voted for the party which cuts education funds
Why does the ALP contest federal elections at all if they only want to handle state issues like education and health?

Just read the other posts above here. Most Australians don't like immigration. Both major parties are hopeless at dealing with the issues. Liberals just love pointing fingers and Labor doesn't attack the libs when they want the same thing.
Outsourcing and not punishing businesses for hiring outsiders far cheaper than Aussies is more of an issue in my view. The people intentionally brought here and exploited ruin our unemployment rate and wages more than the ones fleeing shitty countries.

Plenty of Aussies show their racism at the ballot. Apparently good policies don't matter as long as we "stop the boats". Scomo even made himself a little trophy for it.

never post again

>Apparently good policies don't matter as long as we "stop the boats".
? But this is a good policy.

it's funny how US media tries to deal with the fact that the mainstream right-wing party in Australia is called the LIberal Party

Not when it's the only one some people care about.

Don't worry about them, they're seething at the moment. The ALP is a living example of "get woke go broke", even though the Libs have already been in power for 6 years they're convinced concentration camps will be opening by the end of next week.

That issue specifically as a single issue is pretty dumb. But immigration as a whole as a single issue makes total sense to me.
What good are good economic and education plans if the people who want them get overrun and out bred to the point where they can't even say its their nation and land any more.

I don't think anything rustles me more than our enemies not realizing we're not actually winning and the people they don't like legitimately won't ever do any of the things they _really_ don't want.

Education needs less money to be more effective

You need to go back

AUSTRALIA FUCK YEAH!

The (((media))) is putting them down at every occasion and making sure to call any sort of discussion about immigration racist

So weird that education used to be better with less resources.

There's literally nothing wrong with being racist

It would just be nice if people paid more attention to other things that affect us as citizens and the country. Are they really happy with how the nbn implementation turned out for example? There are plenty of things people should value.

One day I want to sit down with these people and make them tell me what racism is, and depending on their response, why it's bad. So sick of the word having power without meaning.

Of course the opposite of what he says is the truth. The left wing climate-change focused campaign against adani and mining in general is what won the election for the libs. Noone back home believes in global warming.

It's not weird at all. Education cannot be improved with money because you cannot make kids smarter than they are. Teaching resources are freely available and cheap, most of the money pumped into education is wasted, at best, or detrimental, at worst

"Muh boats" when you've got a 200k+ non-refugee immigration intake and most of your refugees come via plane and just overstay their visas is like fixing a leaky roof while floodwaters are rising around your house.

Taking in refugees from outside our sphere of influence is fucking stupid anyway, we could take in literally none and spend half the money saved on UN programs and do more good for the poor suffering brown people.

The ALP is a living example of what happens when you let an unlikable power broker backstab his way through two PMs. Putting Shorten in charge of Labor is like putting fucking Mathias Cormann in charge of the Libs.

muh 2016 echo chamber

I agree 100%, I wasn't serious when I said it was weird. Good education is practically free these days with the internet and a desire to learn.

The largest parties in Australia only care about laundering Chinese money

>was committed by an australian.
>is culturally similiar and geographically close to australia.
>two ultra cucked islands trying to get into asian clubs (kek).
Yeah, they will totally let their subjects own guns again.

Lol, if it is anything like the UK then "Conservatives" would be considered communists by US standards.

>"Muh boats" when you've got a 200k+ non-refugee immigration intake and most of your refugees come via plane and just overstay their visas is like fixing a leaky roof while floodwaters are rising around your house.
Yeah obviously, but why not both. I never said that "muh boats" as the only issue is a good thing, just that it's not a bad policy.

That is only thing growing the economy

we basically elected jeb bush

No, they're never going to get their gun rights back. The only good anglos went to the US, the others are all cucks

They're not going to win for a long time, they've made themselbes captive to a schizo group of idiots who would probably just as quickly vote Green anyway. They couldn't imagine having a broadly popular leader who has something for everyone like Kevin Rudd did, and they're just hoping if they pander to woke politics just a little more something might happen for them. It wont.
Case in point. Nobody wants to pay higher taxes, lose thier job and have a higher cost of living just so you can download your internet porn faster. And I have a very poor NBN connection.

His point is that the government has been bringing in cheap Chinese and Indian labour which puts actual regular Australians out of work more than random Muslims freeing their wartorn shithole. It's why you see rural areas opting to teach English to these people rather than employ locals for a liveable wage. But muh seethe and cope yeah that's a quality argument it's all about le memes xd

Liberal wets are like your dems, liberal dries are like your reps.

It's deliberately chosen to divert xenophobia from e.g. the more than a million Chinese people currently living in Australia and susceptible to pressure from Xi's mates, or the more than half a million Indians, and towards a tiny little fraction of refugees that nobody really gave a shit about.

Not sure you're replying to the right person, but seethe and cope are accurate descriptions of what I saw on my twitter feed this morning. If you and the other lefties collectively want to think otherwise that's fine, scomo will be PM for another 9 years of that's the case.

>It's deliberately chosen to divert xenophobia from e.g. the more than a million Chinese people currently living in Australia and susceptible to pressure from Xi's mates, or the more than half a million Indians, and towards a tiny little fraction of refugees that nobody really gave a shit about.
I hate that everything """in power""" is controlled opposition. I really, really do.

Went to a gun store in Australia for the first time ever. Was actually pleasantly surprised in the range of weapons available. Semi auto, rifles and hand guns, there was a fucking rpg on the wall. Its a bit of a lengthy process to get a weapon and a license but at least we don't have no guns at all.

liberal tend to mean clasical liberal everywhere but in north america

right, exactly. I know.
I would prefer it be used that way in the USA, ESPECIALLY because we were very literally founded on bedrock classical liberal principles.
but the Rush Limbaugh types are addicted to complaining about "the liberals" (though if you notice more and more they are being referred to as "the left" these days)
The left wants the term because liberty has an obvious intrinsic appeal, even though the left is against every fundamental tenet of classical liberalism.
it's a perverse situation. the media should be able to help us sort it out, but in the USA people in journalism are among the least knowledgeable and most low-IQ people.

Labor wanted proper nbn. Liberals wanted no nbn. Either were fine options until the liberals swapped pm and went over budget for half of the real nbn.
There are plenty of other things to go on about, the point being that neither party deals with the immigration issue properly. Voters were swayed with racism against people who are hardly more detrimental than life-long dole bludgers.

Center left conservative liberal party won, against a center left progressive labor party.

This

You don't actually think that labor would have done NBN correctly and not over budget though do you?

I really hope the winners of this election dismantle the ABC. Totally. Their coverage has been the most blatantly biased that I have ever seen. For an impartial taxpayer funded outfit, they are a disgrace.
Look at this pic. Even after the election is over, they cry that the election was "stolen" - and look at the image they used to portray the winner.
Pathetic.

Seconding this. I'm interested in seeing her bitterness.

>Voters were swayed with racism against people who are hardly more detrimental than life-long dole bludgers
People were sick of seeing kids drowning on leaky boats. The coalition had already fixed it once and Labor went back to the bleeding heart approach and people started dieing again.
>neither party deals with the immigration issue properly
True, but the ALP is so much less likely to come to its senses about this than the coalition is.
>Labor wanted proper nbn. Liberals wanted no nbn. Either were fine options until the liberals swapped pm and went over budget for half of the real nbn
It was a poorly conceived project from the beginning. Look at policies that came from the same parliament- submarine replacements and NDIS and you see similar poor outcomes. And that's to say nothing of pink batts. The NBN has had half of its existence under an ALP government, and much of the rest of that time under a sympathetic Malcolm Turnbull. If you think that the NBNs poor outcomes belong just to the Libs you're mad.

It would definitely have gone over budget.

Had either government stuck with FTTB we would now have a very expensive FTTB network starting to roll out to metropolitan areas. Had either government ditched the NBN completely, we would now have inexpensive but patchy FTTB coverage supplemented by ADSL2+ on the existing copper network and some limited microwave/wireless. Right now we have a very expensive FTTN network which uses the same old ADSL2+ for last-mile connections, which is pretty much the worst outcome possible, literally worse than doing nothing would have been.

>progressive
Try child-like

I thought they needed 76 to win and only got 75?

It was fucking hilarious .

Liberals love big business and privatization. If you talk with nbn workers they'll tell you it's a mess. Labor would have a better shot at making their own idea than corporate sellouts. Going over budget for full nbn would be better than blowing the money on what we got.

Still 6 seats in doubt, and there are at least 2 independents who are solidly likely to guarantee supply to the coalition, which would allow them to be a government even if they only get 74 seats.

That means aussies are going to die for Israel now

>NBN workers prefer the party that will give them a blank check
>In other news, water is wet

>Right now we have a very expensive FTTN network which uses the same old ADSL2+ for last-mile connections, which is pretty much the worst outcome possible, literally worse than doing nothing would have been.
It's not great and is obviously going to cost a fortune to 'finish' later, btu my internet did get 5 and 10 times faster over night so it's not like it's complete garbage.

>Does this mean they are going to get their gun rights back?
Gun rights are rarely given, let alone given back. There needs to be a bit of violence and societal upheaval involved for that to come to pass.

This article from two days ago by a Harvard phd aged well.

> The data have spoken. It turns out these markets are really pretty good predictors on average. A security that trades at 70 cents pays out about 70% of the time on average. There is what financial economists call “excess volatility”, but if you want the best predictor of an election outcome, look at the markets, not the polls.

> What are betting markets saying about the May 18 Australian federal election? They’re saying Labor has a roughly 85% chance of winning, and the Coalition about 15%.

These articles are around about Trump and Brexit too, they're just betting markets that react to polls- the only advantage it has as a predictive measure is that it's not subject to overnight volatility. But since all the market has to go on are polls, and because the polls are trash, they're still highly suspect.

This is fake fucking news you fuckwit. This is why Labor lost.

Coalition are not conservative, they are just a really cucked neo-liberal party. They actually bring in more immigration than Labor and under them we've had far lower wage growth because they do anything to bring wages down for their corporate donors.

All those dumb Queenslanders that vote Liberal going to get BTFO when they get 300-400 jobs from Adani but pretty much lose all tourism to the Great Barrier Reef as it completely erodes.

More hot money into residential real estate (that produces nothing) while Australia gets left behind by the US/Europe/Asia with very little science/R&D/tech spending.

they're pretty shit, but it was good to see the tears on reddit.

Capitalism is communism naow boys checkmate

"More conservative than" is conservative, in effectivly two party politics.

Keep seething.

Nearly put a bet on this, actually. Trump won me somewhere around $200 at similar odds and ScoMo definitely had higher potential than he did.

Conservatives took them away

Suprisingly it does have an effect on our politics so hes not wrong

> residential real estate (that produces nothing)

Except for construction, renovation, maintenance, home goods, furniture, gardening, room to raise children, outdoor entertainment.

Aside from THAT.....!

Not really, both are pretty centrist. Not seething as I preferenced 3 other parties above Labor. They are conservative in that a lot are pro free-speech and like religious freedoms. That's about it, they're honestly just neo-libs and the furthest thing from nationalists or populists in any way. But I'll let a burger tell me how much more he knows about Australian politics than myself.
