All winning is beautiful! Sucked in Costello’s ‘The Age’, I hope you lot choke on this win. How about you do a 60 minutes episode on the latest Liberal Party branch stacking scandal that just dropped! Honestly just sack Costello if you ever want to be treated seriously again! Voters often vote 1 for a candidate who won't get up and then preference the next best candidate, knowing they have a chance of getting up. That isn't ugly that is democratic preferential voting. Only warming the seat for Libs till next fed election. Will be easy for them to win after labor still holding on.

A Labor win will cement Anthony Albanese's leadership within the party | Sky News AustraliaA Labor win in Eden-Monaro is essential for Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese's status within the party according to Sky News host Graham Richardson. \n\nIf the Labor party win the Eden-Monaro by-election, “it will reinforce within the whole of the party membership … that this bloke can win”.\n\nMr Albanese needs to have his capacity to win reinforced because the prime minister is 'consistently popular and so hard to beat”.\n\n“I don’t think his leadership is under threat no matter what happens here tonight, but I do believe winning an election is a big problem for him,' Mr Richardson said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia And a death knell for Scott Morrison. Graham Richardson who? Long, lost soul, fortunately.
