Bill Shorten will convene the national executive of Labor this week to work out how his party lost the election.Voters in Queensland shifted from Labor to One Nation in large numbersAfter the Coalition stumbled through two terms of government and polls pegged Labor as favourites, supporters will be seeking an explanation of what went wrong.
Many have focused on Queensland, but swings came in against Labor in many regional centres across Australia.The town of Cessnock is a mining community near Newcastle.In each of the four major booths in town, and among pre-poll votes, the swing on primary votes was around 20 percentage points."They did that successfully and the electorate responded and we need to reflect on that, but I don't regret anything the Labor Party did in policy terms on that front," he said.
Labor's margin in Hunter is less than 3 per cent. As voting continues, there's even speculation Mr Fitzgibbon may not be safe yet.The town at the southern end of the Dawson electorate is usually a Labor stronghold.
Thank goodness 😅
I've seen another poll booth analysis. It interests me that the biggest swings away from Labor seem to be in their traditional heartland - industrial workers, mortgage belt, battlers. auspol
Rockhampton no surprises there .. it’s always been a Racist stronghold.. it’s the home of the old kkk back in the 80’s & 90’s ..
Many Australians certainly started to wake up Shorten is a full on Socialist..........trend is changing around the world.
I hope Joel does hold on he is a decent guy.
Queensland we don’t forgive you. You are going to find your false hopes will be dashed as time moves on. Then will you understand you have been duped.
There’s more of ‘em. ballarat CatherineKingMP

Horror night for Labor as Coalition clears a path to third termAustralians have not repudiated the Morrison Government and delivered the Shorten opposition the mandate for change it has tried to rally, as polls suggested they would. A horror night for those who take polls as articles of faith i.e. the MSM incl. the ABC. If I ate my own head and accidentally pooped it onto a passing pit-bull, I'd be happier. It'll be a matter of weeks before shortens heads rolling down the road
