OZSAGE COVID RECOMMENDATIONS TO NEW FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Background
Australia went to the polls on Saturday ( voting is compulsory in this nation, and because of the covid situation millions of Australians cast their votes early by postal votes and 10s of 1000s who were under mandatory isolation or quarantine voted via by the AEC's phone voting system ).
The result was ScoMo's incompetent ultraright wing federal LibNat Coalition was routed after 3 terms in office , and Federal Labor has formed Australia's new Federal Goverment with a substantial landslide victory.
The vote counting is not yet complete but Labor will likely have a strong mandate with > 76 seats in The House ( currently have 75 with still 4 seats to be decided ).
76 seats are required to form a MAJORITY Government who will not need support from independents to govern, pass laws and bills.
The Greens and the Teals hold the majority of Independent seats and will cooperate with Labor.
The UltraUltra Rightwing "Libertarian" parties ( One Nation and One Australia Party ) failed to win a single seat federally despite spending up big on political scaremungering (advertising) ROFL.
Most people I know either put them as the last 2 or never even bothered numbering these parties on the two paper ballots. So much for their claims to represent > 10% of the population.
A pleasing result. Finally a PM who will listen to expert scientific advise and who will lead Australia by example.
ScoMo has resigned from Leadership of the Federal Liberal Party ( Australian version of Republicans ) and is now a backbencher.
The ex Federal Treasurer lost his seat and no longer a member of Parliament.
DUTTON is likely to become ( in the short term most likely ) the new Federal Liberal Party Leader.
JOYCE is facing a spill for the Federal National Party Leader and is likely to be forced out.
Unbelieveable as it seems , Liberal Senator COLBECK has retained his Tasmanian senate seat despite his mishandling of his role under ScoMo as Federal Minister for Aged Care and the desaster that unfolded and continues to unfold in residenial aged care all over Australia .
HUNT Liberal MP , former Federal Minister for Health has lost his lower house seat and is no longer a member of parliament.
