The last time an Australian PM didn’t have to rely on preferences to win a majority of seats was Howard in 2004.
Arguments against preferential (ranked) voting are nonsense.
Thanks to William Bowe for the analysis.

Putting myself through the pain of watching the Channel 7 election coverage. Clive Palmer treated like an election genius, Jane Hume and Warren Mundine allowed to constantly suggest that Labor won due to "Albanese's lying." Shorten having a ball.

"It's going to get worse before it gets worse," Tony Barry on the #LNP - ABC coverage of the 2022 election.
"It's like [Dutton] is chasing a bucket of right wing votes that don't exist." Dee Madigan re Dutton's strategy post the 2022 election.
How true.

I so want Zoe Daniel to win. Seeing that smarmy smile wiped off Tim Wilson's face would make my day. It's so close. #goldstein #AustraliaVotes

According to the #ABC Tim Wilson is now only leading Zoe Daniel by 401 votes with 92.2% of the vote counted. It's still showing as a Coalition gain, though.

So Clive Palmer has no seats and lost his HC case 7-0 😆
Thanks Kevin.

#Ryan is currently listed as in doubt as it remains unclear whether the #Greens or #Labor candidates will finish 2nd. It is clear the #LNP cannot win.

Hi, these are the last two Liberal Party leaders. One was corrupt, lazy and incompetent. The other tried to surf into power on a wave of resentment, grievance and hostility to indigenous people while having no real policies.
Have a nice day.

Wow!
Two leaders have now officially lost their own seats in the 2025 Australian Federal Election.
Adam Bandt confirmed to have lost Melbourne, joining Peter Dutton on the "dumped" bench!!
I don't think anyone predicted this!!
