It's looking like a bad night for the Liberals in Victoria.

Possibly serious federal implications given the size of the swing - at least at this stage - in Eastern Melbourne.

Yep Scott Morrison would be feeling rather nervous. This is a big big swing. Not sure how much the federal landscape has affected this outcome. Just my take but Labor focused on delivering further infrastructure (whilst still potting the libs about being all about cuts) & the Libs ran too much of an anti campaign. Also worth noting, only a small swing away from the greens but might be enough for them not to win a seat at all.

Yeah, I think they might have called Melbourne a little early for the Greens.

Maybe some policies might be in order next time instead of cheap scaremongering about African gangs.
Been watching Ch 7's coverage ..Comedy gold...Jeff Kennett called for the resignation by midnight of Michael Kroger...While Kroger's ex (Helen Kroger) is sitting next to him.. Gold
 
Sent this email to Peter Dutton this morning.

“Dear Mr. Dutton,

Could you please continue to insert your unique ideological perspectives into Victorian political debates.

As a progressive voter in Victoria, I find your comic intrusions into political discourse, clumsy attempts at dog whistling and propensity for right wing virtue signalling are very helpful when it comes to ensuring the defeat of the Liberal Party Candidates in Victorian Elections.

At the very least, could you please seek to raise your profile in Victoria in the lead up to the next Federal Election.

Warm Regards and thanks for your work,”


The problem with the Liberals is, as it was put in The Age this morning, that they don’t speak Victorian.

Trump’s twitter tantrum about Saturday Night Live potentially being illegal is beyond delicious.

He’s on the brink of a total descent into senility.
Scary thing is, he will call for his supporters to take up arms (he already hinted). Even scarier, is that they will.
Media like Fox are complicit in any rioting, bombing, or shooting that results from Trump's downfall, should it come as spectacularly as it is should.
