Would be gift to Albo if he opposition leader. Un-electable and could be facing ICAC...

From the Guardian live feed:
"In his final speech Scott Morrison thanked: The Defence force, Police, His staff and Tradies.
He did not thank: Teachers, Health workers, Frontline workers in the pandemic, Aged care workers."
- what a despicable person.

I haven't voted in years but always watch from afar. I'll also admit that while I'm pretty centrist in my views, I've tended to vote conservative.

But, I want to congratulate you all down there on your change of government. It was a long time coming and it is deserved. I cannot think of one thing that the Coalition has achieved in the last decade. Not one major nation building project, not one major reform that has benefited ALL Australians, no real improvement in the standard of living, nothing.

I hope with all my heart that the place of my birth, with this change of government can usher in meaningful change, especially for those who need it most. And I don't mean by dragging the top down- people need the incentive to achieve. I mean by rising people up and giving them the opportunities and the tools to do it.

Anyway rambling. Well done Australia, you've spoken and now hopefully been heard. Don't squander it.

There was fibre to copper to home I believe Zen.

Overall very satisfying. Especially to hear Albo say that no one left behind, includes disabled. Going from what has been happening to that was cathartic.

A good speech by Albo, overshadowed by our son returning home from a night out, elated, and having had chicks all over him. He had to pay double for drinks though. We suspect it was the new Tommy Hilfiger jumper.

Seems Dutton will probably become the new LNP leader. Obviously, Frydenberg was assumed next in line, but that opportunity is gone. Anyone know if Simon Birmingham will/won't put up his hand? Speaks really well, seems to be a nice bloke. Surely Dutton will only continue to be a divisive figure.

Island Bay I agree with the sentiment, however the last mob we had have been the biggest bunch of ideologically driven zealots you could find and arguably even more damaging to the nation than anything Labor could come up with. It is hopefully time to get on a more even keel

As for Morrison, well I think there’s a preaching vacancy over at Hillsong
