Unwatchable shouting match, do none of them have any manners.
Ed said he could not finish and all PK could say it was robust? What would her mother say?
It was worse than a shouting match at the footy.

It got to a point of the shouting “nuclear, nuclear, nuclear” like some sort of moronic cheerleader show.

Yes, it’s sour grapes politics and statistical cherry picking. It’s the foundation of our system.
We all know how to use strategic voting, to say otherwise insults the average voter.
Just say “we lost badly we need to learn” would be much more graceful.

Or the following “X left wing or Y independent won…BUT Z actually” got the most first preference votes. Repeat after me #ABC we have a preferential voting system to suggest otherwise undermines it and suggests “they didn’t really win, they got lucky”

I heard the strangest announcement on #ABCradio, they noted that #moniqueryan wins #kooyong but focussed on the Liberal primary vote, something like “Monique has won despite the Liberal primary vote of 41%”. Can we please STOP the trashing of the preferential voting system! It is disturbing.

Last one for the night, Trump has proven that “being nice” on the left hoping that the right will do the same is a complete mirage. Agree stop leading with the opposition “Angus or Susan says” - Frankly who cares! Make some changes and NOW

Now given the mandate, can the ALP show some courage and clear out the ABC like the Libs would have done without a thought. We want BOLD change that supports her insights!
No more Liberal light.
Just listening to Patty Kervalis now with her perfect 20/20 insights that we didn’t hear 6 hours ago.
