The other good thing about the election...


How's the senate vote for the LDP going?   NSW is their strongest state, with 1.8%:  just barely above Fred Nile's Christian Democrats on 1.7%.

In every other state, they haven't even cracked 1%!

So, off into electoral oblivion for you, LDP.   Good.

By the way, I liked the new Senate voting system - seemed a good balance of not too simple versus way too complicated.

And another good thing: the economy is going into recession, during an LNP government, after they have been in power for most of the decade, which means they are going to own it, which should help to puncture the myth of Liberal superiority in economic matters.

Yes. While I'm not entirely sure about the speed with which a recession may come, I did read someone (maybe on Twitter?) pointing out the very unfortunate timing Labor has long suffered from in terms of getting government just before terrible economic events outside of its control.

So, it would be good to dodge that bullet for a change.
