Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.

At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.

    Isn’t declining culture war ideology a positive thing? Australia has a strong sense of community and identity politics destroys that

      Australia has a strong sense of community? That’s being eroded every day. Our sense of community is being taken away in favour of “multiculturalism” and making sure every immigrants cultures and religions are respected, at the expense of our own identity and community.

          Neither the ALP or LNP are prepared to do what needs to be done in terms of immigration. I didn’t vote for the ALP or LNP.

            If your preferred party didn’t get any seats, you voted for the ALP or LNP.

                Because you said you didn’t vote for either, but all votes typically end up going to one or the other.

                But what do you want done about immigration? Is it only immigration?

                  I said that because I didn’t. Where the preferences end up flowing is irrelevant. You’re essentially saying that everyone votes for the ALP or LNP which is a ridiculous way of thinking.

                  What do I want done about immigration? Pause it. Completely. We don’t have enough houses for the people we already have.

                  No it’s not only immigration.
