They called it a global warming election. It was. They lost (Australia)

This election is huge. Consider.

Greens leader Richard Di Natale:

This is a climate change election.

Labor leader Bill Shorten:

This election is all about climate change.

Guardian Australia editor Katherine Murphy:

2019 is the climate change election.

It was indeed, and they lost.

The Liberals look like being returned in a miracle come-from-behind performance, although they will have to form a minority government.

In Queensland, where Labor seemed set to stop the giant Adani coal project, Labor went from picking up an expected three or four seats to losing three instead.

(Adani will now almost certainly proceed. The Queensland Labor Government will be too scared to keep blocking it now. The massive anti-Adani protests have backfired.)

In the outer suburban seats of Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, where poorer voters can't afford the higher power prices caused by global warming zealots, Labor's predicted swing evaporated.

This election has changed the climate. But it's the intellectual climate that's changed.

Labor, for one, will have its confidence in its global warming policies and gurus shattered.

Brilliant.

Behind a paywall, but I wanted to share as much of it as I could.

And now I really am going to bed - half past midnight here.

WINNING!!

Thanks. I always appreciate your insight on the political situation there.

Sleep well.

Ain't it funny how every single damned poll showed Labor leading! And Oz has mandatory voting, so it shouldn't have been difficult like it is in the US with trying to predict who will get out and actually vote.

The worldwide swamp is real. Polling is all about trying to shape opinion/perception and has nothing to do with reflecting actual trends.

Thanks for the update and good news.

Sounds like our Aussie cousins have re discovered their testicles, ovaries and voices again with this election.

We have a few friends, with sons/daughters, who gave up living in Oz to come home in the past few years, due to the Gorebull warmers and left wing leaders at the top.

“The worldwide swamp is real. Polling is all about trying to shape opinion/perception and has nothing to do with reflecting actual trends.”

You nailed it. Polling is just another way to get the pro left wing message across re “Gorebull Warming will kill us and the gays will save civilization while Christians destroy it.”

How much of this is due to Donald Trump’s influence and leadership in the western world. I’m betting a lot of people are watching him operate...and his successes.

Australia 2019 Election Live Results: Morrison Wins, Confounding Pollsters

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/17/world/australia/election-day.html

“Prime minister Scott Morrison achieved a surprise victory that upset analysts’ expectations after six tumultuous years of conservative government. His Labor opponent, Bill Shorten, has conceded defeat and will resign his party leadership.”

Excellent. The conservatives win.

And Oz has mandatory voting...

I understand they also have Ranked Choice Voting. I wonder what factor it may have played. I generally see RCV as favoring leftists.

Donald trump has changed politics forever.
The little people have found their voice.

[yldstrk]

Thank god

[KC Burke]

Someone should point out to Senator Lindsey Graham that the majority of Australia understands that Global Warming is Global Propaganda meant to foist more leftist government on all of us to our disaster.

Excellent. Now drive a stake through the heart of global warming bullshitologists in your media. South Australia in particular has suffered because of these people. You guys ramp up cheap, clean nuclear electricity from WA uranium - - the US can’t do it thanks to Clintons ,(Uranium One deal) - , knock off the National Broadband Network political scam and you will win the first half of the 21st century.

Perth is my favorite city in the world (surfing, fishing, golf, food, nightlife) but Australia needs to grow up. It’s time. You’re either going mass market (a losing proposition) or up market (winner based on your proximity to Asia). Things are changing. You can and should win.

Putting my money where my mouth is - - paying for my (Texas) niece’s college junior year abroad in Australia and telling her don’t be in a hurry to come back.

Go. Fight. Win. You can do this.

I’m pretty sure we have plenty.

We have all of the Libyan uranium that Moramar Kadafi surrendered as part of the peace deal Hillary Clinton disregarded

We may have some of Saddam’s as well

It’s in Oak Ridge

[Bonemaker]

Great news! I’ll send a note of congrats to a mate in Mollymook Beach, NSW.

Thanks

The worldwide swamp is real.

Because the origin of this worldwide pro faggot, pro open borders, globalist, pro abortion garbage can be traced to the same Amsterdam coffee shops dating back to the 60s. This is a conspiracy that has taken half a century to implement.

Sounds like our Aussie cousins have re discovered their testicles, ovaries and voices again with this election.

Maybe. But they still haven't found their guns.

Thanks naturalman1975.
