This is the beginning of the end for Labor, both at state and federal levels.

Only for one term. They are all the same, so people vote them out, then vote them out again in a never ending effort to get a decent government.

They replace bad with bad. So be it!

We had a good government until 2007 and unfortunately a lot of people fell for the nonsense coming from Kevin747's potty mouth.

And Johnny had to go.

Which he did.

Convincingly.

He is a terrible war criminal.

Really? Has he ever been in court? Ever charged with anything? No one other than nutjob bloggers have raised the prospect of his supposed "war crimes"...

Naughty boy. They love to use gillard's BS statement to stop debate, well try, but will hate the fact that that same quote can be used forever more and against their only drum up of information.

Thats just delusional. take a look at the federal polls or you can do what you normally do and just think about your own opinions and expect everyone else to follow suit.

Delusion.

Its not surprising that a govt falls after 11 yrs in power..It may surprise a few people here but that's pretty much the pattern we've had federally and in the states and territories for a very long time.
An opposition would have to be pretty incompetent not to eventually grab govt after more than a decade in the wilderness no matter how good or bad the incumbent is.
Two terms seems to be the limit and after that whether its Labor or Coalition its all downhill from there unless of course they can rig some sort of gerrymander but even that's close to impossible these days.
Good on the CLP it looks like 2 terms for them until the wheel turns again.

The Country Liberals have joined the ranks of conservative state governments across Australia by winning the Northern Territory election.

Surprisingly, the election looks to have been decided by the bush seats, which are unhappy with the Federal Governments intervention. You would have to say that Ms Gillard and her policies must have played a part as well. Wouldn't you?

Bess Price is a good chance of winning the seat of Stuart which is on a knife edge. Good luck Bess. What a novelty it would be to have Bess in the NT Legislative Assembly!!! Refreshing.

Congratulations to the CLP and Territorians for making the right choice.

Amusingly, the ALP Chief Minister didn't want the redhead anywhere near his campaign fearing she would cause more problems for him. Imagine what the ALP's loss would have been had the redhead made a few appearances in the suburbs of Darwin.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

Parenthetically, the issue of a person's record came to light last night as I listened to the ABC radio coverage of the NT election. One of the candidates (non ALP) had spent time in the slammer for a crime. The ALP jumped on it and made it a big deal saying a person's previous record should be disclosed to enable voters to make a clear choice. It came to light that one of the ALP's candidates had a conviction for assault some years ago but it was covered over by the ALP boffins.

How very open and transparent our major political parties are. What a bunch of shysters.

As we know what typically happens is the opposition will claw back a heap of seats at the next election.
Labor or Coalition they never keep up with all the promises they make from opposition to get into power and so the hamster wheel keeps turning.

dont forget ACT a draw the last time round with the greens falling in with Labor as they do...and this town is a mess...

I have had the pleasure of telling one or two Labor members what I think of what they are doing to this town..it is now Parramatta on steroids.. I call it the L.A. of the future.. we are surrounded by a mountain range and we are covered in dirt......

as for climate change well I dont think this lot have heard of it...they are even building a 10 lane highway so I am told by a green member that even she doesnt approve of.... her words.. going too far..a joke really..

anyway best of luck to all those that like what they are seeing.. and like the waste and debt as well.
