An ABC analysis of data from the seat of Fowler reveals how independent Dai Le swept to victory over high-profile Labor candidate Kristina Keneally.

An ABC analysis of Australian Electoral Commission data from the seat of Fowler has revealed how independent Dai Le swept to victory.

With more than 75 per cent of the votes counted, roughly 22,000 people gave their first preference to Ms Le, whose family left Vietnam for Australia in the 1970s. Ms Le won the two-candidate preferred vote right across the electorate, including around the fringes such as Chipping Norton, Abbotsbury and Newbridge Heights, where the Coalition was dominant in 2019.

"Had they run Tu Le, I would have no trouble voting for her, the problem was Kristina was not one of us."

Why are you focusing on this one seat? Why. We know many people were not happy with the labor candidate, move on. We have a new Government now!

Bye bye ItaButtrose

I think it was a protest for not running the popular local

Focus on Libs losses and why they lost seats you expect to always be Liberal

Maybe. But there’s Section 44. And she lied on her application,

You guys know Labor won right?

Wtaf is up with Abc atm? Its pathetic

This is getting boring now ABCYourBiasIsShowing

Pft, yeah Labor “wiped out” by Labor

Really Is this the story you’re promoting? Careful, your bias is showing….

Seriously this is like the gaffe thing. On and on and on while ignoring the LNPMassiveFail ABCYourBiasIsShowing

wonder how much Keneally's hard line on refugees being sent to Nauru hurt her

She's an alleged dual citizen and suspended Liberal party member and your focus is how bad Labor went FMD...

The ABC continue to give us no credit for being able see through their partisan journalism. It’s obvious; unsubtle. If they continue on this way, they’ll become as irrelevant as the Liberal Party are right now🤷‍♀️ “The people” will simply walk away.

That’s the amoebic brained mindset of courtesy of its three unknown minions trying desperately to impress their masters. Still vainly trying for the old gotcha tactic. Pathetic ‼️🥴

How Labor was wiped out into a majority government and picked up 10+ seats

WHAT AN ATTRACTIVE LABOUR MEMBER TOO BE VOTED IN! SHE HAS SUCH A REPOR WITH HER VIET PEOPLE IN HER CONSTITUNCEY! GO GIRL,YOU HAVE ENDEARED YOURSELF TOO ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TOO HAVE SEEN YOU ON TV THIS WEEK! ISNT IT AMAZING THAT WE WARRED WITH THE VIETS!

If doesn’t realise the disastrous loss by the Liberals that has reduced them to a minor partner in the Coalition is partly caused by ABC biased reporting and partisan participation in politics, then the Liberals will face an existential problem. Change your behaviour.

fowler wasn't about the labor party getting elected ,it was about making sure the lnp didn't get the seat.

Console yourself in that. That’s ok. The opposite will continue to happen with greater frequency . We’ll console ourselves in that.

Who Friggin Cares !! The Election is over 🤗

Western Australia gave the LNP a hammering - and you’re still running with Fowler 😵‍💫.

The reason was simple: Labor insisting upon parachuting in someone the community did not know. As a result they voted in someone who is a conservative Independent but from their community. How about you review Zimmerman & Falinski's downfalls? They were SITTING members dumped.

Yes, but is she eligible to sit?

Give it a rest, FFS. Move forward

How many stories are the ABC doing on this candidate Piss off who cares

Still won the election thou.

Just FYI Independent Dr Monique Ryan beat Treasurer Josh Frydenberg in the seat of Kooyong, far more decisively than DaiLe did in Fowler. Looking forward to that story asap.

DaiLe was a Member of the Liberal Party until they suspended her for standing against a Liberal Mayor in 2016. For 10 years.

A margin of less than 3%. The way the ABC is carrying on, you would think it was a landslide. There’s quite a few seats with higher margins against former ministers that never get a mention

Just disgraceful ABCYourBiasIsShowing

Now you guys must surely know that the Liberals were absolutely smashed at the election and Labor won Breaking news (just so the ABC can catch up) Labor won the election

Wow, is bashing ALP part of the ABC values and mandates now. Careful your bias is showing

Don't know........don't care. We won government!

It's okay. You're safe to come out now. They can't hurt you any more.

WIPED OUT by Stan Grant, Fauziah Ibrahim, Lisa Millar, Leigh Sales, Fran Kelly and shit news stories (so whatever Editors are in charge of those).

showing all the self respect of Renfield clutching onto Dracula’s ashes 🙄

still crowing ,how many did the other side lose ?

Gotta laugh about labor complaining about the ABCs biased reporting 😂…. Where have you been !!! It’s taken biased reporting since who knows when for the ABC to change the government

Chart the red wave though…🥂

Australian 'media' has become so Sydney centric that to consume their garbage would make you believe it's the only place in Australia that matters. Last I looked, the LNP were wiped out in Victoria & WA, and dropped seats all over the place. Seems to me that's the important news.

Scott Morrison crawled into a hole, disappeared and took the entire LNP brand with him - but yeah…, Labor lost this seat! Ffs… 🤦🏼‍♂️

This is what a wipe out looks like...NEWCASTLE CLAYDON, SharonLabor 61,997 WARK, Katrina Liberal28,764

Of course winning the election in its own right, something never done by LiberalAus is less important than Rita peice of trite . What have they done to my ABCaustralia ?

Who writes these stories. No self reflection at all.

Hey dick this by no means a wipe out FFS KENEALLY, KristinaLabor35,591 LE, DaiIndependent 39,016

You call that a wipe out...lol This is what you call a wipe out! LEIGH, AndrewAustralian Labor Party54,447 KUSTER, NathanLiberal 28,222

We all want to move on...

ABCaustralia I am astonished your story claims that labor failed, they are the new government. Results in Individual seats are not a story, Why do you continue to show your bias against the ALP ?

Have you also run a story about the wipe outs of Liberal seats

Whoever creating these headlines should be shown the door and get a job with Sky or the IPA.

And what about all the seats where it went wrong for the Libs?

Can we move on from this what about the wipeouts of the LNP

Pathetic tunnel vision. Just ignore the massive red landslide all over Australia and a wonderful alp pm notmyABC

Liberals were literally wiped out in Australia and this is your story. Have I missed the story of the strategic voting that aided the downfall Scomo and co

sydols Labor wiped the Libs out in WA . We can tell you how and why it happened . Keane Burke and his Lib bias was a major catalyst

Wouldn't it be easier if you just added a tears emoji to your reports? You're clearly disconsolate.

Looking forward to ‘worst defeat ever for Lnp’ that you WILL report, right?

How many big names lost there jobs in the liberal party? Where’s Scott holidays in Hawaii again?

Wipe out? She came second to Keneally on first preferences and won thanks to second preferences from her former party. She'll be out next election when her constituents realise what she is.

And where are your headlines re Liberals receiving worst result for 70 years …. you really are under Ita’s thumb … why?

How many seats did the liberals lose this election? 🤔

Section 44 will be soon

We all know how it happened. Doesn't need charts and graphs and data tables

Really abc liberal was wiped out everywhere else ABCYourBiasIsShowing

Again the news is the liberals were wiped out!

RedBackMusicAu LiberalAus were wiped put in how many seats ? Biased journalists employed by OUR ABC, remember, your wages and funding is paid by the taxpayers, & we will do a we can to have an ABCaustralia that has integrity, honesty & reports the news without fear or favour! auspol

More on this one seat? You are acting like this cost labor the election. Labor will get a majority in the house and a good senate to work with. So sick of abc framing the news as negatively as possible for labor.

this is BS 'wiped out' it's one seat yesterday they lost it but wiped out.

Shouldnt there be a by-election seeing she lied where she was born? See if the Liberal gets in then!

Dear ABC - the, ALP, won, the, election. Stop trying to undermine them with all this BS about a 'bad performance'!

That was no wipeout. What has happened to the ABC?

I'm sick of you sticking it to Labor ABC. After a positive event it's kind of common to write positive things. auspol ABCYourBiasIsShowing

..and the ABC will revel in it until the head is replaced.

I think you've run this story enough. By the amount of coverage on this seat alone, you could easily think Labor lost the election.

I don’t get it. There’s beat ups and there's beating up. seems to be doing both; for what reason? Where are the stories on the those welded to the floor Liberals who were smashed to pulp?

I grew up in chippo - westies hate blowins- simple as that . If Labor had put up a local they would have been fine - said so at the time of the preselection. We all know the person who won is a lib, right ?

And yet, Labor still managed to win Government. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Parachuting is a very dangerous political sport. The big parties should give it up for their own health.

I bet saying “wiped out” with reference to Labor gave you a lot of satisfaction!

FFS. How about some real news instead of your fixation on everything with Labor.

The Liberals got SMASHED, especially in WA and VIC, but the good old ABC continues to beat this dead horse?

Just a question. You do know the Libs got absolutely hammered at the election, right?

Someone needs to tell the ABC that a number of liberal seats were wiped out AND the lnp were literally decimated. But let's concentrate on the one seat that Labor lost🙄

Fair and balance has been wiped out in this ABC — these LNP appointments show how it happened - Headline fix. Time to clean out the LNP Hacks and board.

umm, what about all the Libs and senior ones at that, who are now unemployed, time for the ABC to move on from ALP bashing, they are Gov't now!

It just gets worse and worse You have never stopped relentlessly attacking Labor It does you no credit. It’s obviously inflammatory. Biased. And extremely misleading. Did you learn nothing from the weekend? This tabloid garbage isn’t resonating. ABCcleanoutnow auspol

Wiped out? Odd narrative given the election result. The Liberal party was 'wiped out' by independent runners. You guys are really still stuck with that 10 tonne weight of Liberal party oppression on your backs huh?

Can you do individual pieces on every parties members who were wiped out?

I wonder if she would've achieved the same result had she run under her true Liberal allegiance banner. Anyhow, it might be just me, but I would always vote for the best candidate to be part of the Govt, not just the person who lives in the area.

Seriously? Vying for The Biggest Loser? The former PM is streets ahead, but keep trying, you'll be sold off yet. 🤣

And that’s all I have to say about that…

isn't Le a 'liberal independent'?

ABC should be merged with Sky or sack them all.

How about the 50% loss of Liberal seats by Scott … ? 50% !!! That’s a wipe out. Nats have more seats than Libs.

ABC, come on ! You can try and be a little subtle with your bias can't you ? Or is someone still crying over the Libs defeat ? If this wasn't pathetic, it would be hilarious.

ABC. Now broken beyond repair. Dross.

Seriously, is this going to keep replaying . Labor won, why not probe into the failings of the LNP. I used to watch and listen to abc but I'm no longer interested. You continue to push away a once loyal audience.

Omg let it go. Labor WON. Enough!!! What the hell is wrong with you ABCYourBiasIsShowing

Oh the one seat where Labor got creamed, but is still going to form a majority government and a Liberal party that has lost 20 seats! What is going on over there?

Your Liberal bias is showing

How about looking at why the Liberals got wiped out perspective

Really disappointed now ABC, I think it's time to move to SBS for fair new coverage, your biased is beyond belief now. Might as well watch Sky or 9.

One seat in 151. One of two they lost but that is your focus. Thanks ABC for your robust analysis. Libs dropped at least 17- just saying.

Lmao they weren't wiped out. Relax. Unless she's a fantastic MP they will probably win it back. IF THEY PRESELECT A LOCAL!

ABCCleanOut required!

Liberal party was wiped out in Australia as a whole. Worst result since the Fraser government was slaughtered around 40 years ago. Some balance in your reporting, ABC, would be appreciated.

If Dai Le’s appearances on the Drum are anything to go by then expect 3 years of talking about herself.

I think we need some graphs that track how many articles you spend fixating on ALP losses vs the overall gains for ALP, Greens, and independents. It's over, ABC. Stop cheerleading for the bad guys.

We dont need charts to know why it happened. You obviously do ABC🙄

Do the libs next. You know, for balance and all that. FFS

I did see a bigger wipe out. If I recall it was the LNP in the 2022 federal election.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Allthese articles with a negative ALP stance ( PS Libs did the same with Deves and Sharma Where is that article? ) ABCYourBiasIsShowing

The reality is Labor played bad politics. If KK had moved in and lived in the area 6 months ago and worked at it she might have won. My hope is she doesn't get a concession prize of a similar rewarding position with a written for her job spec.

Ita's ABC continues to disappoint.

I live in Isaacs and am very happy that Mark Dreyfus won, and that Labor will form the next government but I was shocked that they parachuted KK in, I would have voted for Dai Le in protest if I lived in Fowler. I hope ALP learn to consider Indi MP's & the wishes of their voters

'wiped out'?

Any news on who won the election?

Language matters ABC do better please 😳 remember Murdoch does it pay your wages 😉

Newsflash! In every electorate somebody lost - why not give the other 150 electorates such an in depth analysis. Seriously, someone at needs to be reported to the Fixated Persons Unit

ABC has been running a version of this story every day since the election, I think we get the biased point of view by now

The still can’t believe their boy Morrison lost the election. AustralianLabor media Investagation please.

This is a twice daily occurrence at the abc trying to paint labor as unpopular and make some kind of weird signal that labor may not be legitimate. Can't wait until the board of the abc is replaced back to normal and their highest paid execs ever are removed.

Labour winning Higgins is a much more interesting story. The “local candidate/independent” factor has been well covered everywhere.

How about all the wiped out Liberals? Geez ABC - you’d think the Coslition won the election in a landslide due to your warped coverage. The new government needs to give you a leadership transplant urgently to restore balance. auspol itabuttrose

And the Liberals were wiped out everywhere else. 😂

LNP lost 3.5% primary vote ALP lost 0.5%.

It’s as-if the ANC only see one seat in the entire election… 🙄 The ALP won the election yet the biggest thing on your mind is them not winning losing one seat in Sydney which you view as an election loss.

And Libs were wiped out in the whole country. FFS do better.

That’s a headline Rupert would be proud of…!?! Define wipeout?

I know the ABC board is stacked with Liberal sycophants & many of your political commentators seem in their element cowing down to them but please can you all stop, or at least resign! Election has been run and won and we would prefer ourABC to join us on right side of history.

Libs were wiped out In many many seats. Have you not noticed.

Has Dai Le proved she doesn’t hold a dual citizenship?

I presume you are doing features about why Tim Wilson, Dave Sharma, Josh Frydenburg etc. were “wiped out” .. maybe how the Nats were almost wiped out in Cowper? Looking forward to this regular feature on how Australians are fed up with the two party system. auspol

Something is seriously wrong with ABC. The great reluctance to accept and congratulate Albo ,who has constitutionally form an ALP govt with 52% votes Leigh Sales Lisa Millar persistent biased -ve harping on ALP ,after 4 days ,is beyond Aussie values and weird. Investigation,?

Another article about Fowler....

Headline: Liberal Party gets its own arse fed back to them in the worst possible way by Labor Party who wins the election and is now Governing.

The LNP was destroyed and this is what you concentrate on? Has the ABC not taken a look at its own biases yet? If you don’t, you too will become totally irrelevant. Maybe start by analysing your most ridiculous election night coverage.

sounds like they lost the election from your coverage

This is getting a tad boring. Time to adjust your focus. The Labor government is restoring all the funding slashed from your budgets so dial down the fear! I also look forward to seeing the LNP feature in your feeds as much as Labor did while in opposition (i.e not at all)

'Wiped Out' you say? Ie. Lost on preferences.

Is this one in a series of X party wiped out by Y candidate. If not, your bias is showing.

Do you realise Frydenberg lost Kooyong?

Bored now with the post mortem. Especially when you continue to make it about labor instead of the lnp

Still stretching the anti-labor narrative before change happens.

Who is dreaming up this rubbish yesterdays news move on

The comments on this. The most biased people in the world complaining about bias. You couldn’t make it up

Thank you for yet another story on Fowler: these need to be written. But so do stories on Teals, the huge drop in Liberal seats, the wins in Labor seats & even on Reid. Prominence, frequency, tone and framing: ABCYourBiasIsShowing

Breaking : meanwhile is other news, Labor likely to govern in its own right … but this “story” is newsworthy how ? 🤦🏻‍♂️ abcskynews

The Liberals were wiped out almost everywhere, but hey everyone, look over there. 🤦🙄

Thank you for yet another story on Fowler. These stories are important and you should write them. But you should write other stories too. 'Labor was wiped out' with 52.3% against. But Labor got 52.12% nationally & you're not saying 'an LNP wipeout'. ABCYourBiasIsShowing

Wow abc, maybe time to sack your exec and journos and start freah

LABOR WON! YOU NEED A NEW NARRATIVE YOU GARBAGE JOURNALISTS

They deserved to lose this one. And in at least one other seat Labor preselected such a profound sleazebag that I was glad a Christian Right candidate beat them. I never thought I would say that.

Glad you’re in your happy place ABC

Are you doing Frydenburg next?

Ok now do the Liberals.

How's her application form looking?

Tell me how they lost the seat of Higgins

This is close to the 20th article I've seen on this. What the actually hell is going on?

This is an article which started with a headline and then went looking for supporting data. Fact is that AustralianLabor have been on a disciplined strategic pathway for 2+ years. They have picked up 7 seats- so more wins than losses. auspol

The Coalition was wiped out and Labor took government. But hey let's analyze a seat Labor lost. Bugger off ABC. You've become as slanted as the Murdoch propaganda hacks. AuntyMurdoch auspol

They lost one seat and picked up a whole bunch, including many liberal seats.

What about Pig Iron Bob & Andrew Peacock seat , Liberal party lost that 1 , NO word on that , Labor party lost 1 seat to a New Australian , so what , get a life

Not as wiped out as ya LNPCorruptionParty

Labor won 17 other seats to form government. Losing 1 maybe 2 is not a bad result.

People voted against the major parties so what. They need to listen or become extinct

Small-target Labor now needs a big agendaAn election win is a win.
