1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: So Elbow's done it, first Labor prime minister since Hawk,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: to go back.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 2: To back today, the Australian people have voted for Australian values,

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: for fairness, aspiration and opportunity for.

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: All, and he gets a bigger majority, which means that

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: you gave Paul, who told you about on Friday, was

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: pretty much on the money. The trivia on the opposition

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: benches grim. No federal opposition leader has lost their electric

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: seat during and Australian election general election until Dutton lost

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: his at the weekend. Le's the Yeomans Australia correspondent, Good.

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: Morning, Good morning Ryan.

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: It's never one thing that loses you an election or

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: wins it was it uncertainty about Trump, was dust and

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: crap on the campaign trail. I mean, I don't get

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: the sense that this was we love Elbow.

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 3: Was it?

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: No?

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: And you're right, there wasn't one thing. The Liberals were

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: pretty crap on the campaign trail, putting it bluntly. Look,

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: there's never ever really one thing that the whole electorate,

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 3: the whole voting population votes for a reason. The Liberals

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: just had a really bad campaign and people didn't like

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: Peter Dutton as a possible Prime minister, and the fact

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: that he lost his seat like John Howard did. John

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: Howard lost his seat back in and was at keven

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: O seven two thousand and seven, wasn't it. John Howard

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: lost his seat. Tony Abbott lost his seat eventually, So

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: now Dutton's lost his and he's lost it to a

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: woman by the name of Ali France, and it was

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: her third time going up against him in his seat Queensland,

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: Seed of Dixon. She was just just kept eating away

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: at his small majority and got there in the end.

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: It's not just though every state went towards labor. And

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: one of the comments on Saturday night was that Victoria

35
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: is generally a very labor state. It's one of the

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: most progressive states in the country and Victoria was lagging

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: behind because it wasn't as far ahead showing the swing

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: to labor as everyone else it was. It was sort

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: of like very very funny to watch, to be honest.

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: But now in Victoria, even labor there has It's gone

41
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: from no liberal MPs in city at all in any

42
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: of the metropolitan areas. Same with South Australia. In Tasmania

43
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: they had two liberal MPs down there. They lost both

44
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: of those. So all of Tasmania is now labor except

45
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: for one seat, and that's in Hobart where there is

46
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: an independent who was a long standing independent in Hobart.

47
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: Every state has gone to labor and it's been just

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: a pretty amazing sort of thing. You know, when some

49
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: of the polls were saying that there was a possibility

50
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: of a labor minority government or even a liberal win,

51
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: or it just went hold my beer, not now going,

52
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: We're going all the way.

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760
