Another election over
Finally, almost like it never even happened, the election campaigning is over, Outsider thought to himself.
No more gotcha questions, no more Craig Kelly (at least for the foreseeable future) and no more ‘hole in your Budget, dear Labor’ songs blasting over the radio.
A refreshing election result, Outsider thought, as he watched a wash of teal independents in Sydney and Melbourne change the Australian political landscape overnight.
Not entirely expected, he thought, with the press pack tunnel visioning on Anthony Albanese’s economic indicator gaffe and the Coalition’s apparently ‘narrowing the gap’ in polling.
But things are looking bright, Outsider thought as he woke up from his post-election slumber, especially for women in politics. A total of 15 out of 17 seats that changed hands were won by women with the Senate projected to have a female majority.
Turning on the tele to watch the morning news, Outsider was keen to find out whether there had been any concession from the major parties on their mistakes during the campaign.
Apparently not, with ultra-conservative Peter Dutton the frontrunner for the Liberal leadership.
