Or on his reds

LOL at this speech. Turnbull is having a thinly veiled tanty at what looks and sounds like a young liberal booze up. Kind of amazed at the amateurish nature of it all.

Anyway, the coalition will form government with 76-77 seats, but this is a failure for Turnbull. He is only there to make an increasingly shrill and right wing Coalition electable. He has barely managed to do that. The senate will probably be more hostile. And only the slightest swing against the government at the next election will see them out. Labor are clearly re-energised. They are currently disciplined in a way the Coalition aren't. The impossible union of moderate Turnbull and a truly conservative party room is going to end badly. Bolt's rant tonight is a pointer to where things will go.

Sorry Bolt, apologies to Nikolic, thanks for trying Mirabella.

Your meltdowns have been well and truly topped!

 

[tandino]

It's all gotten a bit too much for him

 

[Bestbird]

[frenchfri12]

Are these predictions on the ABC website actual predictions or are they live? Because that would explain alot of what is happening on the site.

The police investigation says it all lmao

 

[Play by Numbers]

Callin the cops, you have lost it.

 

[The King!]

Initial positivity etc was fine imo

Banging on at the end was cringe

 

[Donakebab]

Worst victory speech ever.

 

[DapperDon]

Whose idea was it to booze him up beforehand?

 

[Sydney Bloods]

can someone explain to me why everyone has different results not only to each other, but that none of them reflect what the AEC website has up?

and why has triple M and 9 nine reported counting has closed and counting will resume tomorrow, when turnbull has said counting will continue until 2am and house of reps is expected to have a result by 2am?

 

[GreyCrow]

Ratts talked about the gaffe moment. The moment a Government or Opposition loses Government. I wonder if Malcolm Turnbull has lost the Australian People for the next however long. That will go viral

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Malcolm just copied and pasted bills speech. 'My friends'
The other thing I took from it is get ready for mass budget cuts. The likes we haven't seen before. Whether they get them pushed through or not I don't know.

Are these predictions on the ABC website actual predictions or are they live? Because that would explain alot of what is happening on the site.

The predictions are mostly in Liberal's favour. The actuals in the marginals are mostly in Labor's favour. Check the AEC website for the real numbers.

 

[coerced]

Gonna dob you in to the cops Shorto m8!

 

[pjcrows]

He's about to either enter a hung parliament or a slim majority with a hostile Senate. And he delivers a drunken rant blaming everyone else and screaming about issues from 1985.

That was unbelievable.

 

[Mancey]

Geez. Mal's going early claiming victory.

"We will save Medicare"

FFS Bill the election's over

Not as early as some

One of the very few positives if Libs do get up is that they've been that shit that Bill will keep his job.
