Yes, that's correct. I reckon they are happy to have dodged a bullet.

The ALP did not dodge a bullet, the ALP lost. Rudd did his duty, he turned a landslide into an honourable loss.

The ALP even retained Eden-Monaro, the first time that this seat has gone to the Opposition party for more than 40 years.

AS Peter Costello remarked when told that the labor campaign considered 60 seats a good result 'no wonder they lost if they thought that was a good result.'

labor just had its lowest vote in 100 years. there is nothing to be pleased about. it was an appallingly bad showing.

Hi Longy,
what does it feel like to be a winner for a change?

Im always a winner. I don't need an election to make that so.

AUSSIE: "Speaking for myself, I could not care less about 298 human beings having their life snuffed out in a nano-second, or what impact that loss has on Members of their family, their parents..."

Just flicked on the telly, and Labor seem quite pragmatic about the vote at this stage.

Smith is confident of holding their 3 seats in WA and looking strong in their heartland of Western Sydney.

You mean the swing in Sydney's west was not as big as expected ?

What about Vic / Tas ?

Its a mixed result if you ask me but the size of the loss was predicted by the polls, with the ALP primary @ 34% that is not a good look.

I think the ALP knew they were going to lose.
