And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Like they just said, Shorten doesn't lose from this, the Libs do. Why were you expecting a good vote for ALP in a blue-ribbon Libs seat?

He was the only mainstream local on the ballot, doesn't seem to matter or count though. Apparently the ground game was good too but alas.

Wentworth voters are pissed, but not pissed enough to vote for a Labor candidate. They wanted to send a message to the Libs over this.

Tanya said "I just need to check something" and tried to run off camera, I wonder if she was just getting word of something important. Or she was just pissed at being grabbed, w/e.

Watching the ABC it does say a lot that Labor sent a senior frontbencher and the LNP sent a backbencher.
They wanted Sydney MPs and Zimmerman is a Liberal who is vaguely centrist and who can say the dumbest poo poo imaginable without displaying any shame.

It is obviously a devastating night for the Liberal Party, and our job is to learn a message that voters in Wentworth have sent us because this is not a uniquely Wentworth message, particularly in relation to the stability and leadership that all Australians want us to provide. I think Scott Morrison has made a good start in that respect, but we really do have to show that we are learning the lesson and also the lesson that we need to be governing from the sensible centre and I know that’s very much on Scott’s mind as well.

How refreshingly beige. I'm sure wearing a "centrist" costume will fool everyone.

SCOMO will use the buzzword "centrist" while saying "MR SPEAKER" during live press conferences. Surely that'll work.
