well it looks like one term govts are to become common. Rudd and federal labor last after one term. Lnp probably to lose after one term and the voters appear to have short memories and even shorter fuses.

It makes it very difficult for everyone if parties from both sides are to be given one term to fix everything, change everything and sort everything out in a year or two.

it isn't a good omen for government from either side.

One lying, useless prick down, one to go.

Then the ALP should hold government in QLD and federally for a couple of terms.

Things are looking up for the country.

The poor pet is confused again he thinks Labor only served for one term.

Then why is Mike Baird on track to retain a big majority here in NSW?

Maybe because Newman and Abbott are arrogant pr!cks who thought that they could just be given a second term, and take the electorate for granted.

I am not a Queenslander and therefore don't care about the result of this election in and of itself.

However, as a lifelong swing voter with no preference to either side, I think that this result is good in that it shows both major parties that you cannot take the people for granted.

What lying little arseholes both sides!

I don't know anything about this election gandalf as I haven't followed a single second of it but the ALP and Trade Unions do have some past form on underhand tactics.

I read "To the Bitter End" and the tactics agreed by the Union movement in 2007 v Howard were pretty sordid and dishonest.

9.35pm. Then there’s Maryborough, which Labor will win if Chris Foley doesn’t finish ahead of them. With 27 of 30 booths, the primary votes are 29.6% for the LNP, 25.3% for Labor and 22.1% for Foley. Whether Foley closes the gap depends on preferences, which we won’t know about this evening. That includes 12.6% for Palmer United and 10.4% for others.

9.30pm. So here’s the seats I’ll be over like a rash from now on, namely Labor’s shortest path to 45 off its base of 42:

Ferny Grove. Labor leads by 0.9%, three booths outstanding.

Mansfield. 50.0-50.0, four booths outstanding.

Mount Ommaney. Labor leads by 0.7%, four booths outstanding.

Whitsunday. Labor leads by 0.3%, four booths outstanding.

9.26pm. Pumicestone has moved hard to Labor: lead now of 3.0%. Perhaps we’re seeing different dynamics in Caboolture and Bribie Island, with the count ping-ponging as booths from either end report.

If you don’t live in Australia, why would you care?

If you're an Australian you'd care about the federal government election because the country represents you and makes foreign policy decisions that impact you.
Also they make decisions which impact you and your assets/superannuation etc that you've left in Australia.

However state elections. It's bizarre would give a toss about who is elected in a state in which they don't live.
If it doesn't affect you, then really they can elect the communist party for all I care.

Federal though, that's a whole different ball game. We all care there.

But people on here not from QLD happy or disappointed at a result that doesn't affect them?
Most odd...

And LNP disrespect for the electorate continues. As usual the overwhelming message the LNP are saying they have received from the QLD people is that they (the LNP) did not effectively communicate their message and they have to do better next time. Not that their policies are wrong but that they failed to communicate them. Why we keep tolerating these people disrespecting us some absolutely confounding.

I suppose this is giving us a bit of a break from your paranoia over climate change eh?

Me thinks you're a lot more p!ssed off with the result then you pretend

My friend I couldn't give a monkeys toss.
It don't affect me a single cent.

Hence my point, if you don't live in QLD why care?

Don't your money hiding inlaws live in QLD? You care about your wife's family?
