Very happy with the election outcome.

The Labor footsoldiers work on the CC paid off. Well done comrades.

I was in Dobell. Happy with the Robertson result.

I would vote the same way again.

I believe that if you want a truly representative government you should vote for either the Coalition or the Labor Party.  When you vote for the Independents and Greens you end up with the hodgepodge we now have.....a government that is only in power because it bribed people. A government that will have to kowtow to the Greens and Independents and alter policy accordingly.

This government will be struggling to get policy through. It will only be a matter of (a short) time and we will all be back at the polls.

Hopefully next time we go to an election, the Independents and Greens find they aren't as popular as they seem to think they are.

I'm quite sure the Greens and the Independents will struggle to maintain their pre- minority-government popularity.

....See, the Greens will have huge expectations placed on them, this and I don't think their 'student-voters' will appreciate their imposing compulsory student union fees on them.

Ecstatic thank you. The result was almost perfect.

Looks like your guide dog has pissed off again......

I think this is a lesson the nation needed to learn and most lessons are learnt the hard way, the labor way I call it.


We now have  PM who stated she would build the Sydney rail link, wont happen.

She stated she'd build the Bribane rail link, wont happen.

A NBN project, wont happen anytime soon.

Would have a offshore processing centre, wont happen.

Will have the budget in surplus in 2013, wont happen.

Now when the public sees that none of thes epromises will be fulfilled, she'll get voted out and labor will be out for years and the debt will be astronomical.

So all in all I am happy with the result, as Gillards lies and underhanded deals will be shown in the light they need to be and it will come back to haunt her.

So a good result looking at the big picture.

No! What you are saying is that you believe your party is honest and everyone else's is not. - Just because your "Old Man" advised you "to strip away the BS", doesn't mean that YOU have the right to shove down someone else's throat your Opinion of what is bullshit and what isn't.

It could be that you are wholesale swallowing the BS your comrades are feeding you.

And I suppose that you can assure all of us that your kids won't turn out to be mother-rapers, father-rapers, murderers, paedophiles, drug dealers/takers, conmen, arse-holes in general etc, etc

You're posting this thing everywhere, and with CG I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't added some of the crap yourself? - - - - You're sick!

Major parties deserted for independents: Newspoll
September 13, 2010 11:23PM

VOTERS have validated the decision of the independent MPs to back Labor to form a minority government, although the ALP's primary vote has fallen to a five-year low and an election held now would be likely to deliver another hung parliament.
While more voters, 48 to 36 per cent, agreed with the formation of a minority Labor government, a clear majority, 59 to 31 per cent, believe the government will not serve a full term and Australia will return to the polls before the three years agreed between Labor and the independents.

At 34 per cent, down four percentage points since the August 21 election, Labor's primary vote under the newly elected Julia Gillard is below the level of Kevin Rudd's entire leadership and back to what it was under Kim Beazley in September 2005.

Primary vote support for both the Coalition and Labor has dropped since the election, while backing for the Greens and "other" candidates has surged in the three weeks of independents' haggling over the hung parliament

According to the latest Newspoll survey conducted exclusively for The Australian, Labor's primary vote has gone from 38 per cent at the election to 34 per cent last weekend and the Coalition's primary vote fell from 43.6 per cent at the election to 41 per cent.

With the Greens and independent MPs in the political spotlight, the primary vote for both the Greens and "others" rose from the election-day vote of 11.8 per cent to 14 per cent and 6.6 per cent to 11 per cent respectively.

After a knife-edge election result on two-party-preferred terms of 50.1 per cent to Labor and 49.9 per cent to the Coalition, the two-party-preferred result last weekend was dead even at 50-50.
