Australian voters have delivered a sharp rebuke to the center-right government, ending nine years of conservative rule, in favor of the center-left opposition that promised stronger action on climate change.
Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese appeared certain to form a minority government, though it was unclear as counting continued if the party would have enough seats for a majority, according to projections from three news networks.
Parties need a majority of 76 seats to form a majority government. Labor is currently sitting on around 70, according to the Australian Electoral Commission. Early counting showed a strong swing towards Greens candidates and Independents who demanded emissions cuts far above the commitments made by Morrison's coalition.
Amanda McKenzie, CEO of the research group the Climate Council, declared climate action the winner of the vote. "Millions of Australians have put climate first. Now, it's time for a radical reset on how this great nation of ours acts upon the climate challenge," she said in a statement.

So what? Australia is not really a country anyway. It's a former colony founded by convicts from Great Britain.
Sri Lankans already have started
And we’re right behind them biting at the heels. Don’t think for one minute that the United States is not going down the same path. When the rats can manipulate our whole country by lockdowns, fake census numbers, and steal elections believe me we are in the prime of being a Third World Banana Republic status.
If true, it’s terribly sad. Climate has changed since God created the world. Not one thing will change that fact. I guess people really believe giving government more money and control over their lives will “fix” it.
My first thought.
.
Many people will do anything to proclaim themselves virtuous—no matter how stupid and insane it is.
Bullshit. They’re probably just hoping not to get tased if they’re outside during the next ‘pandemic’.
I guess the Australians thought their chains were too loose during their COVID imprisonment and are looking for the government to tighten them.
Are Dominion machines used in Oz?
Bullshit. They’re probably just hoping not to get tased if they’re outside during the next ‘pandemic’
Spot on. The draconian COVID 19 restrictions were the reason the government change. The BS climate change article just demonstrates how easy the media can make people believe a false narrative.
And no guns to keep government from taking anything it wants and imposing rabid leftist dogma.
They will regret it. Enjoy calculating the deaths of the elderly because of so called Green Energy policies.
Maybe that Australia has enforced strict measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including some of the world’s longest lockdowns. ?????
Chardonnay socialists are plentiful in the electorates that have put these new climatistas in parliament. They are all for more refugees, more electric cars, veganism etc etc etc. As long as their lifetyles of walking the poodles isn’t affected. They actually despise the average aussie blue collar workers who are the backbone of Labor’s support. And when those voters start to feel the impact of higher fuel and prices in general as a result of the climate crusade, and seeing their neighbourhoods stuffed with boat people, they will turn on Labor. As regular as clockwork
Strong message based on a fantasy.
Had no idea Oz population was so small. Would have guessed 59-100MM.
It was Covid lockdownsthat killed the conservative govt.
Nope. Kind of like Canada. Underpopulated over a great continent.
this is all propaganda.
what REALLY happened was, the pro covid LOCKDOWN government was thrown out of power!
so, let’s see, the pro-growth side won the last three national elections, but that doesn’t count; only this one counts
