Epic election fail: Bookies paid out early on Labor winSportsbet was so confident of Labor's chances, it paid out all early bets on Bill Shorten's team two days before Australians went to the polls. Never count your chickens until they have all come home to roost. Increasing taxes to the middle class, creating hysteria (climate change) amongst the minorities, appealing to the non male/female genders, trade unionists grub, a husband cheater, fantasy policies like electric cars.. are you seriously thinking how it went wrong A fool & his money 💰 are soon parted. sportsbetcomau MegaFail auspol KeiraSavage00 FYI😂

Long Saturday night of the soul for Victorian LaborAs recriminations fly in the wake of Labor's defeat on Saturday night, the party's people in Victoria will argue that they held their own. How ya feeling, comrades? JennaPrice Everyone is talking about QLD, but this is also very disappointing. No real gains in VIC is a terrible result God Works in Great Ways. Go SCMO and God Bless Australia.
