    I don't like Tony Abbott, and I don't like his party's policies. I think Labor clearly has better policies in several areas.

    I can't believe the amount of hatred that has surfaced with this election. A look around on other forums, FB etc and it seems as though anyone who isn't white and has a left wing opinion is being told they 'don't belong here' and to 'go back to where they came from'. A woman posts about concerns over available child care in the future and they are bombarded with responses like 'keep your legs together if you can't afford kids'.

    It's okay. He can't be an intruder. He has a clipboard.

    He was on stage for a full minute. They would never have let him stay for so long if he didn't have the clipboard.

    I am very annoyed with the people whose vote was on the basis of all the misdirection

    The most surprising result of the election is that the third most votes went to the Liberal Democratic Party, ahead of the Greens in the Senate. They have 20% of the votes of the Liberal party, most of which were unintentional due to their appearing first on the ballot paper. Their preferences are going to Pauline Hanson, so this misdirection will have an important affect on the outcome in the senate.

    Maybe they mistook him for Ray Martin.

    There's a lot of redneck minor parties. As a result of their preferences, the senate gets disproportionately weighted toward the more mainstream right-wing parties.

    The Coalition plans to 'stop (talking about) the boats' by imposing a media blackout on the number of arrivals.
