A teal volcano has erupted in Sydney and Melbourne. The surge of support for independents at the centre of Australia's two largest cities has been sudden, jolting, and devastating to the conception of what is Liberal heartland.The Greens have taken the LNP stronghold of Ryan in the leafy inner-west, with their candidate bearing striking similarities to the professional women who ran as independents against moderate Liberals in the southern capitals.
Inner-Brisbane Greens candidates Stephen Bates in Brisbane, left, Max Chandler-Mather in Griffith, centre, Elizabeth Watson-Brown in Ryan, right. At the end of counting on election night it had won 27.8 per cent of first-preference votes in Queensland, the second lowest in the country and only marginally in front of Tasmania at 27.6 per cent.At the start of the campaign, there were hopes of taking the coal seat of Flynn and at the end there was talk of Leichhardt in the Far North. They did not come close.
It may feel like it was hiding to you because & abcbrisbane weren’t paying attention. How about this? Count the number of times the ABC reported on this travesty. Had to be dragged kicking & screaming to report on it:
Aircraft noise + corrupt government + floods = vote Green. No brainer.
Are the ABC journalists living under a rock? The LNP signed off (and state Labor was complicit) on a disastrous parallel runway design that turned the river suburbs and Mt Coot-tha into an industrial noise zone under a jet ✈️ freeway.
covid infection increases IQ, no other way to explain this
It was only a 'shock election result' to the mindless COALition zombies that the ABC and most of the mainstream media have been worshipping in adulation for the last few months, believing the lie 'they can do no wrong'!
jrojourno Really? If you didn’t see this coming you weren’t paying attention. People on the ground saw this coming a mile away.
Why shock? How disingenuous. You yourselves talked up this outcome, as did most Brisbane media.
LAbOR nEEd tO LEarN LeSsOnS - every journo now.
Nobody campaigning on the ground in Brisbane over the last 7 years was shocked
Why are they raising the communist fist?
Now inner city brisbane has voted for the greens i can now safely root for climate change and hopefully more extreme flooding events
It’s a damning indictment on the state of the media that the surge in support for the Greens in Brisbane was completely ignored. And not at all a surprise that this story still ignores it, focussing instead on Labor and the challenges in Qld at state and federal levels.
Climate change causes flooding?
This story wrongly says Queensland is Australia's most decentralised State. (It's Tasmania.)
especial wall
son believe seem flow record sheet
Seriously, you going to keep up this gutter journalism 🙄
