We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.

Just to be clear for any non-australians, the conservative party was the opposition, we have voted to keep our more progressive party.

Although the opposition leader did also lose his seat as stated above, which is a nice bonus
