    The “first past the post” victory narrative is idiotic yet here we are being inundated, even in the ABC, by this bullshit.

    We have preferential voting and Poorline will never be elected in Australia.

      ON’s primary vote RIGHT NOW (according to a single survey from a group I’ve never heard of) is higher than all other parties except Labor, and they’re only leading by a few percent. The only poll that matters is election day - IF she can maintain / improve this in the next two years, her party will be a significant threat to progressive politics in Australia. Pauline HAS been ‘elected in Australia’ - and her party is growing distressingly fast.
