Obligatory Australian doing a democracy post. Democracy sausages were good, hopefully the outcome of the vote will be too

That was a wild night. That was history happening in real time.
Apologies for everyone outside of Australia for the torrent of toots.
We just kicked into oblivion the most fasci party leadership in Australian political history. It felt good to watch a decent number of voters push back against what they saw being imported from America. Gotta celebrate the wins. They happen far too infrequently.
Not even 8:30pm and it’s already been called. He-who-must-not-be-elected has been defeated. But let’s not kid ourselves. This result happened not because of an amazing campaign, but because people saw the insanity the tangerine Palpatine was causing in the US, and said “not here”. #auspol #ausvotes
