Yep. I was being a bit sloppy by not expressing that said hung parliament should support a Labor government before LNP cunts.

There was no need to. I took that as read and basically agreed with you.

Looks like a Labor minority government. Just the outcome I wanted. Fuck off Morrison, and Dutton is a good chance of losing. Dutton is a bigger psychopath than Morrison.

Will Morrison step down as party leader now?

Yep.

Unfortunately Dutton seems to have won his seat. He'll likely be the next leader. He's a bigger sociopath than Morrison. Hopefully will ensure another term for Labor at the next election.

A club for pagans, witches and Satanists says its affiliation with the Adelaide University Union has been rejected because of a complaint its members may summon the devil onto campus.

"Even if we did want to summon Satan, it's not against university or union policy to do so, so it's still not really grounds to reject us," Adelaide University Occult Club president Ashley Towner said.

How green is the new government going to be?

Looks like Labor is going to get enough for a majority. But if it's the minimum majority, they will still need the cross-benches as they will lose one member to the speaker's role (speaker doesn't vote). Looks like the Greens will get 5 seats, which is up from 1 seat at the last few elections.

I've heard quite a few independents standing on environment and climate issues have been elected. Are they likely to make it into the coalition?

It won't be a formal coalition. More like an agreement to support supply and not to vote for a no-confidence motion against the gov. Then each policy will be up for negotiation. As you mentioned most of the independents ran on a strong climate change platform, so they along with the Greens will push for stronger action on climate. I feel that Labor would be up for it to a certain degree. The best outcome will be Labor not getting a majority in its own right, and then the indies and Greens can really push for stronger action.
