The Liberal Party has retained the eastern Melbourne seat of Chisholm with the electoral authority calling the result on Tuesday afternoon to hand a clear majority to Scott Morrison’s re-elected Coalition government.
The Liberal Party's candidate Gladys Liu took the seat of Chisholm after trailing her Labor challenger Jennifer Yang in early counting. She is the first female Chinese-Australian migrant elected to Federal Parliament. Born in Hong Kong, Ms Liu won a scholarship to study speech therapy in Melbourne in 1985.
The Liberal Party also comfortably held another outer suburban seat targeted by Labor, La Trobe, one of several electorates where government MPs increased their majorities against expectations.
Jizm ? Where ?
Good news.
Great result.
One reason the LNP got returned was due to Murdoch!
Whooo hoooo!
Ugh.
Sensational
Good.
This week just keeps on getting better.. 🤙
That one is very likely to go to the court of disputed returns for the voting ‘advice’ camoflaged as AEC material
Awesome!
🙌🙌
Wallop!
Very nice. Well done.
Yeahaaaaaaaaaaaaa 😄😄😄

Finally a government that can govern! I don’t mind which side it is, I’m just sick of the billions that have been wasted bribing support from independents.
The Greens in the Senate will stop them running riot.
Were the signs on all booths?
This one is worth a fight. But another two will fall anyway
Wow. Was this seat affected by the Liberal poster mimicking the AEC purple colours placed directly next to poster? Do you think this poster tricked Chinese literate voters to vote a particular way as the poster recommends? auspol AusVotes19
Given the controversy over the Liberal dirty tricks there will there be recount and perhaps court of disputed returns? Bill billshortenmp as current Labor leader, please fight this one all the way. Don’t let these bastards get away with bastardry without a fight!!
Hope an appeal is lodged. Those illegal signs - designed to look like official AEC signs and telling Chinese speaking voters they their votes needed to be liberal in order to be correct - were utterly despicable. auspol
Chisholm is one of the seats they used the fraudulent signs impersonating the AEC, and they won it by a hairline. That is victory by fraud, no other way to look at it.

What Donald Trump told Scott Morrison after shock Coalition winThe US President likens the Prime Minister's re-election to his own and observes that people seem surprised by the result. Did Trump call him Scott Australia? It’s a valid question ... Trump recognises a bully when he sees one, and praises everyone particularly dictators. auspol Oh. So it’s official. Cambridge Analytica type tactics. Yep. That works
