In the past two years leading up to last night’s election, the Coalition did not win a single Newspoll.
But, while the public remained in the dark about the election bombshell that lay ahead, there are growing suggestions that both Bill Shorten and Scott Morrison were taken far less by surprise. ABC journalist Patricia Karvelas agreed. “They could see what was happening. It just wasn’t being reflected in the public polls,” she said.
“While the result defied expectations of a Labor landslide, the ALP knew all along it was a close-run thing,” she wrote.
? Australians weren't left scratching their heads...only the Labour pundits did..we voted we knew
If two parties hold seperate meetings, seperate leaders, and seperate policies.. how are they one party?
As I posted repeatedly during the campaigns, the polls did not canvas enough people, a true representative sample was never achieved, it’s not rocket science that polls would be wrong!
Probably all the computers in the schools and universities around australia were commandeered by the latest indoctrinated/brainwashed leftist movement, all of which all need to be completely overhauled!!
Can’t wait for PaulineHansonOz MRobertsQLD to appear on the TheTodayShow Ouch auspol
Most of the smart thinking people didn’t believe the polls & cleaned up from the bookies ... lazy journalists have driven the lie and pushed a fake agenda which is extraordinary that so many journalists & commentators were so wrong ... seems their opinion is just manufactured!!!
All I can say is THANK GOODNESS 😅, Congratulations all Australians that could see having the LABOR PARTY left “U” out would have sent the country into spiralling debt & almost certain recession with their new death taxes & reversal of negative gearing & franking credits SAVED
That photo is as sad as the one of him joggling You can’t trust Bill Shorten!
Its because of the rudeness of leftists in political debate. Over half the nation the well mannered majority know that saying they support the conservative gov will get them yelled at, So they dont tell the pollsters or wont participate in polls.
The Polls are regularly getting it soooo wrong... The last 5 years has many examples. A large swathe of PPL will never declare how they vote for a 1000 reasons and most are Conservatives. Trumpian effect. That screws the LooneyLeft and their headline driven agendas every time.
Glad the voting public could see through the left leaning media bias
No we pretty much knew deep inside that common sense would prevail.
Labor WILL NEVER WIN while they stupidly have an increased migrant and refugee policy...and a negative gearing policy that hurts Mum and dads investors more than wealthy investors..increase foreign aid...increase migrant parent immigration..increase the dole..ffs will they ever
How can you believe the polls look the odds on the liberals
It showed the people don't listen to the media we can make up our own minds
Doesn’t matter who gets in - they all tell lies to get voted in anyway - they are in it to get out of it what they can
Why would people tell those annoying phone calls how they are going to vote. Plus some are union owned.
Ha..Don’t F$k with QLD Bill😂
Didn’t sportsbet payout last week that labour won?
That’s easy. Shorten wasn’t liked. He promised too much Franking and housing negative gearing changes. Cost him People are sick of our large debts being carried out country.
Brexit: Polls Wrong Trump: Polls Wrong Aus Election: Polls Wrong.....yeah it’s a mystery 🙄
Was it Bill the problem, no one really knew how to take him or could they trust him, don't get me wrong i voted for Labour, i just don't know about him.
The followers of this sad sack will always find some sort of excuse of why this big breasted bloke is not PM
Answer: leftist groupthink.
have you learned nothing from the 2016 US election? Polls, like twitter are nothing but eco-chambers. There's a reason why the 'The silent majority' is called 'silent for a reason 🤔
Polls push agendas . I guess people wanted common sense/practical policy’s .
Yep
Thanks nine u always gave the libs more airtime than labour
The left fanatics focused on removing Abbott instead of focusing on winning the election.
Polls mean nothing when a pop up party with $80 million of coal money magically appears. As per last time palmers party will now deregister itself, only to magically appear again in 3 years under yet another brand name, to yet again prove this democracy is a sham.
Wrong polls? The MSM once again tried to lie to the ppl & the ppl saw straight through those lies. We laugh at the MSM bc now instead of admitting fault they point blame everywhere else but at themselves. Thanks MSM. We laugh bc you lot keep trying to lie.
can’t beat money.
The polls are the polls, and the polls show public sentiment. It's that simple.
Corruption is what left wing media tried to corrupt everyone
Seemingly rose coloured glasses. Most of us are shaking our heads, but for very different reasons. Personally staggered that so many people did buy what labor was selling, junk. If the activists and the like want to jump off a cliff by all means, would solve most of their issues.
Jog on you sht left media
Silent majority has spoken. Just wanted common sense practical government.
Corruption just like in America with Donald Trump
I think the manipulaters of the information are the ones scratching their heads.
Shorten should of wiped the b💩from his chin during his campaign .
People tell lies! Lol
Statistics and Data never reflect the reality of things. that is how it is and only those that are asked to answer the poll answer. Its like saying so much crime been committed but only those reported are known.
The polls tried to manipulate the people into believing labor was the only choice , they lied on purpose. Just like the American election
Australians could see through the lies of the polls and media. We aren't stupid you know.
It's the Wealthy party...
Might have been an idea to not walz around introducing yourself as Australia's next prime minister..awkward
No, only the media elite were left scratching their heads. People are sick of the left wing agenda and it's detrimental effects on everyday Aussies
