Bill Shorten was the reason that Labour lost. Fact. He lost the unloseable election because he is a fuckwit.
The Liberal Party coalition and ScoMo got lucky.
Bill Shorten should never have been Labor leader but they seemed to have no other option.
The Liberal Party did a very successful fear campaign, with the assistance of a mega-rich business man turned politician Clive Palmer "putting Australia first' (xenophobia inserted).
On Facebook there was fake news about Labor Party going to introduce a death tax. That made many pensioners scared for their loved ones' inheritance.
Australians aren't particularly migrant friendly. Probably one of the most racist countries I have been to.
Your quoted text below shows how racist you are. That shows that you are not thinking for yourself, but following the trend of others.
Did you really think I was quoting others? Thanks for the compliment.
Australia would be in a recession if it wasn't for huge amount of migrants on visas, foreign students and foreign companies buying everything the government will let them. Except for Sydney and Melbourne real estate prices have crashed.
Living costs have gone through the roof. No new jobs are being created. There is massive unemployment problems in regional towns.
Drought has gone on for many years. Where there has been rain, there has been extreme floods.
The massive bushfires resulted from a mixture of drought and weird weather systems. The wet season in the Northen Territory normally starts in November and flows on slowly into rest of country.
In Queensland Labor lost just about every seat because they were scared Labor's environmental policies were going to take away new mining jobs if they didn't let new mining projects start.
QLD and Western Australia has had a recession for years thanks to mining job losses.
When people are in fear they don't want change. If that means foreigners are rejected in the process, I feel sorry for them but I feel way more sorry for Australians living in very lousy conditions right now. Countries should look after their own people first.
Australians struggle to cope with the indigenous population, let alone be migrant friendly to the Asian (Chinese) communities. Australians don't welcome diversity, and it is one of the most backward countries on this planet.
Blame the Chinese government for trying to make us like China by stealth, invading us via buying everything the Government decides to offer them instead of using military means like the olden days.
Blame the Chinese government for brainwashing their students so much they can't take any criticism of their invasion of Taiwan.
We view Chinese people with suspicion because they obey the Chinese government, mind, soul and body... OR ELSE. That extends to foreign countries as well as at home now.
If foreigners hate us so much, then please let us remain backward and isolated and stop moving here. PLEASE. We will both be happier. Life will be much more simple when our Australian kids get job apprenticeships instead of foreigners given visas (so businesses don't have to do the job training), and when Australian students don't have to translate lectures to Asian students and do the work when group assignments are part of Uni assignments. (Yes, my son had to do the latter that several times in his assessments, English requirements are not strict enough).
You're talking bollocks, and probably voted for Farage
Wrong. Shouldn't the koala give you a hint of where I am from?
I voted for Bill Shorten (even though I disliked him) because the Labor Party's policies tend to favour all of society, not the 1% and big business.
