I'm not in Australia at the moment (I'm in the UK so did not do a live thread for the Australian Federal election) but now I am looking at the results.

And they are not good.

The conservative Liberal/National Coalition may eke out a narrow victory, and retain government but as the leader of the Liberal Party, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is a centrist moderate rather than a conservative, this means a lot less than if we had a conservative in charge (like Tony Abbott - who was replaced by cowards in the Liberal Party who believed Turnbull would do better at this election). And a narrow victory, or minority government is probably a worse result for Australia than the conservatives actually losing the election, especially seeing there will almost certainly be a hostile Senate. We're facing a situation where even if elected, the conservative coalition isn't likely to be able to get much passed in Parliament - electoral paralysis.

So how long before Australia abandons its sensible and successful policy of turning back illegal alien invaders?

LINO Turnbull will lose.

What an arrogant POS - he stiffed the Liberal base every which way and basically told them to go take a hike.

He stood for nothing conservative and got his rear end handed to him.

Serves him right.
