A status quo result in the hotly contested Eden-Monaro by-election has simultaneously helped to strengthen Anthony Albanese's leadership of the Labor Party while giving Scott Morrison a shot in the arm, having withstood a possible protest vote over his handling of the bushfire crisis.
These contaminants make it even harder than usual to pick apart the result and determine which issue ultimately swayed voters. He could not afford to be the first opposition leader in 100 years to lose a seat to a government in a by-election.Labor had always said that it would lose about 3 per cent of its primary vote with the retirement of the popular sitting member Mike Kelly.
Um....why are the ABC bothsiding an actual fn RESULT? --- 'Some say the Confederacy came off second-best in the US Civil War but really how are we to know?'

A Scummo from Marketing with poll popularity through the roof versus an Albanese who's popularity ain't? And Scummo loses the 'bellwether' electorate by-election? You use your colouring in pencils, I'm just gonna colour it a Scummo grey! 🐍🛢💩
A win for both sides!!! What drivel the ABC comes up with. Morrison & LNP, despite their pork-barrelling, lost. This is at a time when the PM has hogged airtime & shut Parliament to avoid accountability. Enough people have woken up to the Liberal rorts & broken promises!
yeah nah, there really is only one winner, and I can't even think of the name of the person the Libs had running. Who was it again?
I put FrightfulFiona last for a wide range of liberalaus' sins, not least because of what they've turned ABCaustralia into. abccuts EdenMonaroVotes
I didn't know you were in the business of spin. Actually ... auspol EdenMonaroVotes ScottyFromMarketing MSM
But some are more winners than other.
There's only one winner 🤦
The Liberals did well in the by-election because, no doubt, many of the punters thought there was more to be gained by a Government member representing them.
Once again another stupid ABC headline.
Really?
Who wrote this shit? Oh right, Jane Norman. Another enemy of democracy and entirely pathetic. Shame.
Seriously ABC .... you are so much better than this!
In which twisted parallel universe with all the media support (including the national broadcaster), all the dirty, rotten tricks (federal police raids) and the traditional support of an incumbent government during times of crisis can this result be in any way a win for the LNP?
Try analysing why your coverage was so appalling-then spin that.
And trust the ABC to do the spinning!
Suemonti57 Bullshit ABC news. Your fab Mr popular Sco Mo went down
The wrong one....
Feel really positive we will feel the force of a ScottyFromMarketing blitz on this
Garbage
IfScomo had given out money for fires they might have won but another promise by corrupt LNP
'We do need to lift our primary vote' - Anthony couldn't lift a fart in any election - But I'm happy to have a very good laugh whenever he gets on the TV making a fool of himself.
You can spin anything as anything. Remember when Scott spun his Hawaiian holiday as the responsible thing to do. Doesn’t mean it deserves serious attention. This is dumb analysis.
Really? Labor retains the seat, but that's a loss?
Apparently its a win for The Greens twice, cause ironically their arch enemy, the Shooter Fishers Farmers party have sided with them to get a Labor win! The world has gone mad.
Breaking: A HUGE WIN for Australian Labor, will LiberalAus accept they FAILED in reading the Australian people auspol
The LNP failed to capitalise on the popular Kelly leaving and the Covid 19 crisis. Without Palmer's and the SFF's preferences, the LNP looks very fragile.
Stop the press! Government doesn't win by election. When was the last time a govt won a by election?
Or to paraphrase Bill Snedden in 1974: “We were not defeated. We did not win enough votes to claim the seat.”
First she gives Sussan Ley a free run during the coverage, then she writes this puff peace for the LNP. ABC let her go to Sky, where she clearly belongs
Spin it till you're dizzy, but the actual fact is one side won, the other side lost. Goodness ABC, you used to be so much better than this.
It’s pretty simple... the elected minister sits in parliament... end. But we know that the SMH is on a Murdoch leash...
Is Murdoch holding auditions for a new hack journalist position at NewsCorpse?
...so nothing changes.
FFS there is only one winner and that is Kristy McBain (ALP), there is not a win for both sides - what a load of bollcks
sportsrorts LNPcorruption CrimeMinisterMorrison Really? Shows LNP Eden-Monaro pork-barrelling bought votes but not enough to buy a marginal win (not like the $100m of the 2019 fed election)
Did you spin the LNP federal election win last year as a “win” for both sides? Because they didn’t win by that many seats, so a win for both would have been fair reporting...... I can’t remember reading that though 🤔
Labor won. Do better.
Huh? How do both sides win? What a stupid bit of spin. B/c it would’ve been “Historic once in 100 year win” if LNP got it - wouldn’t it? Pathetic ABC. Try again.
Yes it'd be those few fake how to vote pamphlets by the NSW Labor Party that ruined it for the Liberals. Not to mention the dozen or so Independents who gained protest votes that sucked up primaries from both of the major Party's and willfully handed their preference to Labor.
Or more accurately, can be spun as the party that wins the seat.
Really ABC? YOUR integrity is screwed...FMD 🙄🙄
You're the ABC. Do better.
Nope, I reckon it’s a loss for both sides actually
Everybody could see the disappointment on your face last night janeenorman

Doesn’t make one lick of difference, Morrison will win the next election not because he’s any good but because he’s not of the left, it’s a culture war and the left want to literally destroy modern society, so any normal person will vote for anything but that
Written by Mcott Sorrison.
Is this a joke? This is just an appalling take on the by-election. Really awful.
Lowest primary vote for Labor there since 2001.
Stop
Garbage.. with the amount of money thrown around by the Libs this the loss shows they failed
It's what the ABC doesn't report. Swing to libs 1.8% Swing against labor 2.3% Swing against the greens 3.0% A wins a win tho. So well done kristy.
What a stupid article. Labour won and LNP lost it is that simple.
Poor ,seriously,thanksfornothingscotty lost, he lost and you and the other propaganda hacks will just have to deal with it. Here's an idea,why not try being, wait for it,impartial?
So the ABC is now a dog act like Sky News. Lift your game you arseholes.
It was such a win for Morrison that even the Nat's prefrenced labour What does that say Why did labor get more preferences all round They don't trust Morrison anymore Sick of the the Morrison show Morrison is just one part of the LNP
MayneReport sorry but labor won LNP lost soak it up Morrison no amount of bullshit will change the result
Analysis 🤪
Hang on..... M.Balderstone of the Hemp Party polled 2.5%, which would have all gone straight back to Labor. There’s your swing against Albanese! Very lazy analysis ABC. Lift your game.
The amazing but predictable aspect to this result reflects solely upon the electorate as a whole. Obviously, many are stuck in the decades old belief that it is a contest between socialism and capitalism and nothing could be further from the truth.
Spin versus fact 🙄 A great win for Labor 👍🏽 Congratulations Kirsty McBain 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Labor votes down by 3% from last time....surely that speaks for itself
Makes no difference. They are all bludging scumbags.
Oh ffs ...
It doesn't matter which party wins as both the pictured current leaders are twits.
I bet the TAB is glad you don't work for them!
Congratulations KristyMcBain and AustralianLabor . auspol EdenMonaroVotes great win.. they threw everything possible at you in the past month and they failed.. you'll be a great member. Cheers!!!!🍾🥂🍻
Abandoning this electorate and the country during the fires is still not enough to smash him to pieces in the eyes of the voters. I believe this is extraordinarily worrying for ALP (and for the country in my eyes). Win is a win yes but if I was Morrison I would be tickled pink.
You guys are really showing how hopelessly beholden you are to the Liberals, huh. The past 24 hours' coverage and reporting, save for that of Antony Green, has been a complete joke.
One perception is the truth, the other isn't.
A win is a win. Spin that Scotty from marketing
What rot. The LNP can take zero comfort from ALP win.
What were the results from Wagga Wagga? EdenMonaroVotes
Sure, as in the Liberals lost, so they are losing losers and Scott Morrison typically made it all about him, so he is the biggest loser of all. Lol
Absolutely sick and tired of the spinning - and last night’s Coverage was a disgrace
The loss wouldn't affect Morrison much, but Labor & AlboMP needs to do some serious soul-searching to lift their struggling primary vote or else risk this seat being nipped by the Libs in the future. So not a strong victory actually for them. EdenMonaro.
Oh, sweetie. No matter how hard you suck up to the LNP, it’s not going save your job. It’s really not.
🙄
Well ... I'm glad Kristy McBain won for Labour!
It can't be spun as a 'win for both sides'...good grief
Sh*t journalists will spin a loss for the Right as a win for the Right.
Slomo spin
Only TheirABC could do a story on the Eden-Monaro results and not mention a swing against Labor once.
Seriously ABC in 2020 is like the last season of GOT. It's ABC in name, but somehow Bran Buttrose has won the thrown, everything's on fire and John Speers seems to be there but doesn't really do anything. Thankfully they occasionally get Arya Kenneally on to stick the knife in.
Liberals are all corrupt. Honest disgrace that they’re being allowed to run this country into the ground in scomos quest to be trumps America 2.0.
‘spinning’ a win - that’s a new one
spin spin spin.
Um no...
Don't think Albanese can take a lot of credit.
