Labor’s Eden-Monaro primary vote shows it’s being ‘deserted by hard-working Australians’ | Sky News Australia

| Labor’s Kristy McBain secured a victory in the by-election on Sunday afternoon, but the party recorded its lowest primary vote in the seat for 30 years.

Mr Newman said the election results equally highlight an issue for the Liberal Party, “A prime minister with a stratospheric approval rating hasn’t moved the needle”. “There needs to be some soul searching about why this is the case in the Liberal Party”. Image: Getty

I thought Labor won?

As someone who was deserted by voters, Newman is an expert on the subject

probably not a good idea to get analysis on election results from a man who was a premier of a state when he lost his seat at the last queensland election

Trust to put a negative spin on a Labor win. Let’s make the results clear - Labor won, Liberals LOST. RoyalCommissionIntoAustMedia

NEWS FLASH; Former LNP leader criticises political opponents. Another update from Skynews... aka “LNP-TV”

LadyPoop2 Well ... it is Sky 'News', where fat, old white guys go to die.

One term. Sacked.

LadyPoop2 Not as much as voters deserted you when you lost an election after one term- fancy taking any notice of a rank failure.

LadyPoop2 This is not a reflection they were bought by empty promise simple

Labor Won Eden Monaro - GET OVER IT!!

Labor won so what does this day about the Coalition?

continue to disseminate misinformation to their small audience and are FakeNewsMedia and EnemyOfThePeople

Have labor won or is there to be a recount?

The same Campbell Newman who was decisively thrashed by voters after 1 term?

Campbell Newman. Sprog of that cow Jocelyn and failed one term politician. He wouldn’t be biased and vindictive, would he? BTW - Sky News is a fckn joke.

Campbell would not know hard work. He’s a flog.

Pretty sure they only had 34% last time they one the same seat

You still trying to provide him with relevance ❓He couldn’t even find relevance as a Chief Minister ❗️🧐🎤

Whats the difference between Labor & the Greens!

Newman was deserted by everyone, so he's naturally feeling upset about that. Eventually enough time will pass and he'll feel better. Congrats to Labor on the Eden-Monaro win!

Does he mean like The hundreds of thousands of Queenslanders who ran from him at the first chance.

Remind me again how Campbell Newman fared in the last election he was involved in...

But they still won right? Without sport rorts or fraudulent and misleading election signs yes? That's ok then..

Labor won, cry a little harder!

Sorry who won they seat?

The advertising revenue should stop soon once the full extent of Murdoch family involvement with the paedophile

Always good to hear from the guy would publicly criticised the police because he was held up in traffic after a fatal crash. Can you believe the cops didn’t let old mate Campbell just breeze on through? The nerve of them.

Cane toad Campbell, deserted by voters after only one term! Lol

Yes, deserted by hard working Australians who still gave Labor their preference over the Liberal Party. Was that Campbell Newman’s point? Or was he just taking a brainless potshot?

Now do the Nationals auspol

Campbell Newman knows all about being deserted by voters

Morrisons primary vote was 27% in the last election.

Libs had less than that at the federal election. What does that tell you, Noddy? GoHomeYoureDrunk auspol

Is 35 now.

Ah yes, Campbell Newman, the man who’s so in touch with the electorate that he was voted out after just one term including losing his own seat.

Go home Campbell

Sook News Australia has logged on

Didn’t Campbell get turfed out in his 1st term?

Campbell Newman knows first-hand about desertion. auspol

More spin yesterday you called the liberal win. What a cancer on our our society you have become!

Labor cannot hide behind the pandemic when it comes to Eden-Monaro: Credlin | Sky News AustraliaLabor is already blaming COVID-19, rather than Anthony Albanese, for its performance in the Eden-Monaro by-election, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\nLabor’s primary vote is down by 3.86%, with the party’s candidate Kristy McBain relying on a strong result in pre-polling to get her over the line.\n\nDuring a heated exchange with Labor’s deputy leader Richard Marles, Ms Credlin said COVID-19 cannot re-write history. \n\n“You can’t hide from the fact, mate, it reflects on your leader,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“In 100 years, what we didn’t have world wars? We didn’t have other global issues? We didn’t have things like the GFC? … There are plenty of things that have happened in the last 100 years. This pandemic is important but it’s not seismic that it rewrites history.”\n\n“We’re talking about an opposition seat which has been held by less than 2 per cent, it’s on 0.9 per cent. That’s the precondition which would give rise to a circumstance where an opposition could lose a seat to the government,” Mr Marles replied.\n\nIf Liberal Party candidate Fiona Kotvojs won Eden-Monaro, it would be the first time in over 100 years a government has won a seat off an opposition in a by-election.\n AlboMP I’m surprised Peta didn’t blame the South Sudanese AlboMP She would say that wouldn't she. And don't mind that Labor is currently holding the seat. What was the swing? AlboMP

Labor claims victory in Eden-Monaro | Sky News AustraliaLabor candidate Kristy McBain has claimed victory over her Liberal counterpart Fiona Kotvojs in the hotly contested Eden-Monaro by-election.\n\nWith just over 80 per cent of the votes counted, Ms McBain leads Ms Kotvojs by 1,335 votes.\n\nShe said she will focus on the bushfire recovery effort when she arrives in Canberra and promised to work in a bipartisan manner to help the region.\n\nLabor's primary did drop between three and four per cent, however preferences allowed the party to get over the line in the tight contest.\n\nMs McBain told reporters on Sunday voters were concerned about local issues.\n\n'Voters were speaking to me about the issues they were having, the experiences they had, their issues with jobkeeper, worrying about what will happen with bushfire relief, worrying about how they’re going to make it through the summer, you know, worrying about the future of jobs for their kids in the region, worrying about healthcare issues, local roads, telephone black spots right across the regions.'\n\n“No – the issues people were telling me, their local issues on the ground.” oops, your biased predictions didn't go so good. Thoughts and prayers CON GRATS KRISTY FOR YOUR VICTORY OVER PATHETIC LIBERAL GOV AND THE PATHETIC ANTI LABOR COMMENTATORS ON SKYNEWS, THE SKYNEWS LABOR HATTERS TOLD THE AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE LAST NIGHT THAT LIBERAL GOV HAD WON BY-ELECTION THAT PROVED HOW MUCH THEY HATE LABOR AND FAVOUR LNP GOV.
