Although the election has finished yesterday, if only how voting finished in the Seat of Gilmore transferred across the nation, the results could have been closer.
It's actually exciting living in a swinging Federal seat, just speaking to one person may swing the votes of others.
It appears that Gilmore will be won by high profile Liberal Party Candidate, Andrew Constance, by a slim majority, with postal votes to be counted So for him to retain his seat next, he would need to really get out to the community and get his policies out there. With a first preference swing of 13.23%, he is currently at 2 party-preferred, he requires a .28% swing to win the seat.
Now Albo has won from Scomo, are we going to face huge Reserve Bank Board interest rates, which raises Home loan interest rates a rise in the unemployed from 3.9% a rise raising all wages - which creates rises in inflation. Will he bring in the National Integrity Commission (aka known as NIC), which will go back 15 years of Parliament and review the tactics of his frontbenchers? At least one of them Christina Kenneally, will not be on the front bench. I remember my mother tried to approach her at their local parish and she snubbed her off and spoke to the press, waiting outside the church instead.
Climate change targets may be introduced, which will bring in a new tax. The Homeloan lending scheme from the government will bring 'a hidden tax' - a tax where when you sell your property you will repay the Australian government extra.
If Albo has a minority government pending on 10-12 independents, I will be able to predict an early election within 12-18 months. Minority governments, do not usually do well!
Now, when we come to the minor parties even those that are independents are backed up by Billionaires to oust the government. They are not true independents. These members of Parliament may be acting like puppets for this billionaire. They are called the TEAL Independents, supported by the same financial backer, clean enegery Simon Homes a Court, and his political group Climate 200. He is funding these candidates who are only looking at 2 policies a full federal Integrity Commission and tackling Climate Change. What they do after that, who knows?
They are called the Teal independents as they have campaign material in the blue-green colour of 'teal'.Then, we have The Greens, which have run for quite a few elections, gaining momentum at each election. They are the 2nd Labor Party Team - both parties swap preferences with each other, generally
Then we have Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party, which is always looking to retain Australia as traditional Australia we should be.
There is the
United Australia Party - which has been shying votes away from Liberals and Labor for the last couple of elections.
Now, from here on in all Federal parties should be pre-selecting for the next Federal Election, candidates to run in seats not elected and be known as 'Shadow Members'. By doing this we get to know the candidate way before the election is held. I remember a former Mayor of Waverley had shadow Councillors, getting candidates ready for a bi-election or election
