Australia has just had its second landslide election in a row. In 2022, there was a landslide against the Liberals, but not to Labor, which fell over the line (as a majority government) by three seats and with just more than 32% of the primary vote.

Koalas face death, attacks and starvation as blue gums chopped down in Victoria
The state government is aware of koala welfare problems but says it has ‘no cost-effective’ solutions
* Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast
Thousands of koalas are being displaced each year as blue gum plantations are cut down in Victoria, worsening overcrowding in nearby forests and exacerbating the risk of injury and death during bushfires.
An estimated 42,500 koalas live in blue gum plantations in south-west Victoria, data shows. Between 8,000 and 10,000 hectares of plantation are harvested each year, making thousands of koalas homeless.
