A CHANGE HAS COME
Just now. The Federal Labor Party led by Anthony Albanese, raised by a single mother in a public housing flat, is the new Prime Minister of Australia.
What does this mean? A centre left government that will work to benefit all Australians, regardless of class or race. They will be strong
on national security and new renewable energy opportunities. And why do I know this?
THE RISE OF THE TEAL WAVE
it used to be called the doctor's wife vote. Affluent, intelligent women who voted instead on social issues. About 10 Teal independants have won safe Tory seats.
These are former Tory voters who are disgusted by Scott Morrison and his fossil fuel paymasters. They have targetted inner city moderate Tories who have sided with the more right wing
side of the Tories over denial of climate change.
They have been routed.
The Greens have also gained votes.
Their preferences to the Labor Party have decimated Tories. They both will keep Labor honest on climate change. The fundamental issue of this election.
The Tories usual scare campaign has not resonated. Albanese has stumbled on detail at times, but is a decent man who famously guided the Gillard government through a hung parliament.
He is a man for the times. He lives around the corner from me. Barracks for the wrong rugby league side but no one is perfect.
This is a proud moment for me. My family. We've had some emotional phonecalls tonight.
Both my sister and brother voted Green.
Teal is a mix of Tory blue with a green climate change hue.
The third parties have triumphed. Along with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Labour Party.
So I raise my glass of Bundaberg Rum and coke to the people of Australia.!
Made me smile. A lot. A night for the true believers!
