Was about to say the same thing. My ignorance is bothering me.

I want to enjoy the cringe-worthy LNP senators whinging about whatever (generally "boo hoo the last mob screwed us over") but I can't even watch them for the schadenfreude, I feel like I'm starting to itch uncontrollably whenever they are on.

Even when everything is turned to poo poo they don't answer questions god it's frustrating.

My tv saying labor has won 40 lnp 39?

It will shuffle about as more polling booth results come in. It will be pretty close from the sounds of things. Probably a Labor minority government.

Davenport results. Liberals 52% after preferences, about 2/3rds of the votes counted.

Anthony's saying LNP have 39 seats and will struggle to get any more, since Labor are ahead in basically everything left.

i'm still somewhat surprised that they parachuted Newman into Ashgrove, when he really should've been in Moggill, due to it's exceedingly safe status.

They were too sure they were going to win I think. If you suspect you have a chance of winning then fleeing to a safe seat does nothing but make you look like a huge coward.

It was Bruce Flegg, the empty suit dude who did nothing offensive until they got government and then he got kicked out of cabinet because he was a shady gently caress

now they've filled it with an equally empty suit dude who basically did no campaigning and promised nothing, but he's also a doctor so hey he's blue better vote him in
