they're not going to formally do a deal with anyone, they'll get supply & confidence from the Greens at least (though they'll try for as many crossbenchers as they can on top for the appearance of stability, Wilkie will surely at least too) and that will be enough. no deals, negotiate everything with the Greens bill-by-bill because it doesn't matter if Labor pass something with Teals in the house if the Greens won't support it in the Senate

the ICAC model that Labor/Greens/Teals all support is very good & i don't think there's really any room for Labor to suddenly have second thoughts about that

the Liberals have been decimated, this is one of their worst results ever & ICAC will rip into all their corrupt dealings over the past decade while they're also tearing themselves apart internally

So like what kind of corruption are we talking about here? Im mostly only aware of the sex scandal stuff and like ScoMo going to like Hawaii during the floods and fires.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go.

My meaning was this exact scenario plays out every drat election. The low-population seats always report quickly - in .au and .us both, so the right wing party always jumps to an early lead because those seats get called first. The high-pop density urban seats always come in later and counteract the initial lopsided results.

It's both funny and depressing to see people start freaking out every goddamn election over it.

This is of course true; but the difference is last election people people gave the same explanation; but the correction never happened and so after that everyone was paranoid.

I guess kind of an odd question from abroad:
I've seen the charismatic christian connection of Scott Morrison mentioned a couple of times in the thread, to Hillsong Church, but how influential are those circles in Australian politics anyway? Hillsong has been something that pops up even here (Finland) if you follow the pretty much charismatic christian TV channel we have here - no local Hillsong churches, but worship and music pops up on that channel occasionally.

Not sure Hillsong holds much sway with voters outside maybe a couple of seats. Morrison was one of those political operators who will tell you he has loved doing something or supporting something his entire life but actually his PR team told him to do it a week ago. Like him using the horrific treatment of Sri Lankan refugees was spun into a tale of him learning to cook Sri Lankan curries. I always thought the Morrison's support was more to do with Hillsong's place as a growing Christian group which he was trying to latch onto. That the (former) head of Hillsong was accused of sexual misconduct was no surprise as they seem to be more of a capitalist cancer rather than a new type of faith.

Unlike America, because of preferential and compulsory voting, passion in Australia does not equal winning votes. The religious right tend to be far more influential at voluntary levels of Australian voting, largely preselection for the state and national Liberal party. The same goes broadly for Trumpist-style politics in Australia.

Which has lead to the current problems of the New South Wales branch of the Liberal party where the party leadership has been trying massage or ignore democratic preselection results to stop absolute unelectable maniacs being selected for state and national polls.

The radicalisation of the right in Australia has lead to some very real problems in electability of the LIberal party and the teal independents have shown that you don't have to "work with in the system" of the Liberal party to get moderates elected. An essential impossibility under America's first past the post system.

At least, that's how I understand it.

NSW Labor tried to parachute her into a safe seat that she has zero connection to and hosed over a very popular local named Tu Le. She has then been vocally anti refugee in an electorate with a lot of people that fled Vietnam and the Middle East and thus she got smashed in the seat by an Independent named Dai Le. Dai Le isn't great as she's mostly just a dodgy former Liberal running as an Independent but ALP being able to form government without the seat of Fowler is a massive win.

Not really influential at all. Morrison's Pentecostalism is just something he happens to be into, and outside of a few too-online Labor ideologues who think he was trying to usher in the Handmaid's Tale, nobody gives a poo poo. Australians are generally pretty tolerant of religious PMs despite the nation on the whole being probably as irreligious as the Nordic countries.
