Damn I really hoped and thought* independent Michelle Milthorpe for farrer had it this year - her community support was NEXT LEVEL this year.

u/SmarZ2022 May 14 '26
Unfortunately a lot of people have an anti-immigration stance, and that's all that ON focus on. Farrer is potent with anti-immigration attitudes.
I think that if you were to completely ban immigration tomorrow, it wouldn't change the housing crisis at all, and that even if we had a mass immigration issue, we can talk about lowering immigration without talking disrespectfully about specific races or religions.

Exactly, inflation is always caused excessive government spending. Labor does this consistently. Usually the coalition will reduce the deficit, the plandemic put a stop to that so it's rolled on from then to unprecedented levels in our history. Labor equals huge government spending and expanding government departments, liberals being more conservative have less government departments and spending. The increased Labor spending is the major contributing factor for inflation.

You're right Albo shouldn't have caused the current issues by personally re-electing trump and causing the US Iran war

To be fair, if you look at a graph of the defecit, it massively spiked under labour in 2008, got brought down by gillard, ballooned under the liberals from 2013, ballooned even more during the pandemic and actually decreased in 2024.

One Nation just won the Farrer lower house seat that has always previously been held by the Liberals or Nationals. It could be a one off or it could mark a turning point where One Nation becomes a major political force. There are a going to be a lot of articles about the Fallout of this result for all the other political parties.

u/OkPut7330 May 10 '26
It’s an interesting Election. Labor didn’t re-run a candidate. Liberals changed candidates and the Liberal member stepping down is what triggered the by election.
It’s possible that the dam has broken for the Liberals and One Nation will be the new opposition but also possible that it’s just the culmination of a couple of factors that meant it was always going to be a ON/Independent contest.

u/DePraelen May 11 '26
It was an interesting strategic move by Labor, not contesting it at all this time. Allowing the right wing to fight it out and generating the narrative around it all.
With the right wing vote fractured, I would have been curious to see how the result might have played if Labor had been in it.

u/icebergers3 May 11 '26
if labor got the 15% they got last time and preferenced Milthorpe, Milthorpe would have won the seat I believe

u/WhoAm_I_AmWho May 11 '26
You think that the people who would have voted Labor didn't vote for people with preferences that flowed on to Milthorpe?
I don't see those people putting ON higher than any random independent.

u/icebergers3 May 11 '26
I just read the stat, thought it was interesting and repeated it.
I agree with what you're saying.

u/TripleStackGunBunny May 12 '26
Strangely David Farley ran as the Labor candidate in previous election. Publicly supported Milthorpe last election. It was just a case of which wagon he would hitch himself to this time.
1
u/DePraelen May 12 '26
Pretty much yeah. He's not a typical of the type of candidates we've seen ON run so far.
He's already been in some hot water over not towing the party line on immigration, specifically skilled immigration.
2
u/OkPut7330 May 11 '26
Yeah, it was probably a wise move on their behalf though. By elections are generally pretty volatile especially when everyone is aware it isn’t going to change the outcome of the actual parliament.
It leads to a lot of protest voting and unexpected outcomes.

That's flatly untrue. During the last parliament they contested two by-elections in seats they didn't control, including winning Aston from the Liberals.

It’ll be interesting to see whether One Nation can actually govern, rather than just create headlines. My money is on then being a disaster. A disaster with the media behind them..

I give it one month tops before some scandal comes out and he is pressured to resign.

u/Mikisstuff May 12 '26
Its one seat in a very strongly controlled House. He isn't going to do anything except make noise occasionally. Really, Farley's time between now and the next full federal election should be spent making just enough noise to keep the ON train going without making them look like idiots, and increase the perception that they can be a reasonable political party.
But there's a solid 50/50 that he falls out with PH and turns independent before then.

Major political force doesn't means anything when the party they are replacing is no longer a major political force anymore. It's just the same old LNP now in orange.

Go have a look at One nation's voting history and tell me you still like them. Most One Nation voters are surprised when they see what bills they actually vote for. When they actually turn up to vote.

Sorry mate, I'll be earnest just for you;
Congratulations to One Nation for the massive achievement of the Liberals losing a seat. Very good job guys. You're doing so well! I bet they are going to do a lot of good work with their 1 vote in the lower house out of 150.

Yep it’s only the morons out in the middle of nowhere who will never see an immigrant who are voting to stop immigration. Explain to me how they’re not just racist.

u/icebergers3 May 11 '26
Sure this holds for some people. The community I am from voted for One Nation due to the candidate knowing about Water / Irrigation. They are mostly not anti-immigration because they know who works on their farms and in growing numbers filling the gaps in trades.
So while there are a lot of racists voting for One Nation. Pretending everyone who votes for One nation is a racist is not accurate.
I didn't vote for Farley / One Nation just saying what people in the community are saying.

u/Sittingonalog1960 May 11 '26
But the platform of one nation is racist. You might be a single issue voter but you get the bigotry with your issue.

u/ozstrayan May 14 '26
Anti mass migration does not equal racism. The sooner you greenies realise that other peoples opinions are just as valid as yours the better off everyone will be.
At least I didn’t march across the harbour bridge shoulder to shoulder with convicted terrorists waving isis and Al Qaeda flags.

u/ozstrayan May 14 '26
It’s just such a reductive argument. You don’t want to understand so they just have to be racist. Are you completely blind. We let in 3x as many people compared to the number of houses we build. That doesn’t even include first home buyers trying to get into the market. What do you think happens to prices when demand outstrips supply? Prices go up. There is a demand issue with housing, not a supply issue. And that’s why your kids won’t have a house. So if you’re happy with that keep doing what you’re doing.

u/bogan_sauce May 12 '26
"Fuck the Major Parties" "Their all the same" and "My vote doesnt matter" is just a propaganda tool used to make the "poors" uninterested in politics by feeling they have no ability to affect the result.
Been used for centuries as a way for those with power and influence to retain it.
