Its really tricky to say with limited polling but it would be at the expense of a 5th Labor senator

From an outsider looking in, with nothing but insanely good statistics coming from what Labor have seemed to have done (I say this as to not change judgement or ask for a biased opinion), why exactly is that not being looked at as good? Money back on energy during CoL concerns, 50pc transport, insanely good levels of investment and the lowest unemployment of all aussie states, youth crime actually gone down - what's putting you off?

@@Cypher7412 Youth Crime rates particularly in North QLD were skyrocketing, as was the housing, cost of living and health crises. Also, 50pc transport only benefits people in the city, not the regions, which is a typical move from Labor to gain cheap support

@@dionmacdonald3369 Considering its 'Labor' for Aussies, are you sure you are one? Again, nothing valuable was said which was what I asked for

@@Eamon_QS Thanks for replying. On the cost of living and health issue, that's more of an national + international issue though, no? The support for energy relief at least helps with cost of living on that front. No price gauging from energy companies, fuel too? I can understand the transport one if it was more central. Would the price cap and state-owned petrol stations not've incentivised regionals?

@CypherNugget oh poor baby, just shit it and yes I am a Australia 🇦🇺

After Palaszczuk only a miracle could save Labor thanks to her personal disapproval rating. I have to admit this was fairly earned by her, and people weren't going to forget it. But LNP's numbers started to tank close to election once Christofooly started to be exposed, pity so many people voted early.

@@item6931 pity Labour is shit

@@dionmacdonald3369 😂😂😂

I'm pretty sure they kept their Labor candidate in place.

@@DoubtingThomas333 okay, thanks for answering. Nothing much of a statewide change in the voting movements since i left. Are they still running two people per district? I mean the liberal party and the country party AND PASSING THEIR PREFERENCES TO EACH OTHER?

Greens were campaigning for hard drugs being legalized, setting grocery and rent prices and less police. The most stupid thing I ever heard 😅

@@RefurbIshment-z7l Cannabis is not a hard drug. It comes with fewer risks than both alcohol and tobacco. They want to increase criminal penalties on for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs at levels that impair cognitive or psychomotor skills, maintain criminal penalties for drug dealers while introducing counseling and treatment and education for personal users of illicit drugs rather than criminal penalties and increase the availability of harm reduction programs including drug-substitution therapy, medically supervised injecting rooms, and widely accessible supply of clean needles, including in prisons. Nowhere do they call for legalization of hard drugs. They want to cap rent increases yes, personally I don't agree with the policy either for a multitude of reasons. They want to cap the prices of 30 essential grocery items, also prevent anti competitive practices by supermarkets such as land banking and break up the duopoly between Coles and Woolies. Not bad ideas and I've never seen them calling for less police. They've instead been calling for additional training and the establishment of an independent body for the investigation of corruption within the Queensland Police Service (QPS). You should be more discerning in what you read mate.

That's what the upper house is supposed to be there for

So good they lost, they should be outlawed give how un-Australian their values are.

I was an active volunteer in the greens campaign this election so i can give one possible answer to your question. The ground campaigns are highly targeted towards the circumstances of each electorate so each campaign is different. In general though, our stance was that the greens are quite happy to see Labor adopting greens policies when the greens are putting pressure on them. It is a little frustrating that the Greens never get any credit for it even though we often campaign for it for years before labor actually adopts it, but at the end of the day if Labor "steals" a greens policy then that means we're getting results and therefore that's a victory. The real issue we have with Labor "stealing our policies" is that they usually only do a half-hearted version of what we want. I'll give three examples from this campaign. First, The Greens have been advocating for free public transport since 2020. Labor announced 50c fares in 2024 which is great but it still isn't free and still uses that private ticketing system which ends up making 50c fares more expensive than making public transport free altogether. Second, The Greens proposed a bill for a free breakfast and lunch program for all primary and high schools in 2021, and Labor voted against it. Just a few weeks ago, that same Labor government promised a free lunch program (but not breakfast) for all primary schools (but not high schools). and finally third, part of the Greens platform for this election was to establish 200 new free GP clinics. a few weeks before the election Labor promised to build 50 free GP clinics. The pattern should be pretty clear now. The Greens find this very annoying because it's an admission from Labor that the Greens policies are possible to implement, but for some reason they refuse to go all the way. Hope that addresses your concerns. Feel free to ask if you've got any other questions. TL;DR the greens actually kind of like it when Labor steals our policies. We just wish they'd copy the whole thing instead of only doing half-measures

​@iamseamonkey6688 I don't mean to offend you in any way, whilst I agree that Labor is essentially stealing greens policies, I guess the measures in which Labor proposed seemed more feasible to me. Especially given they were riding on additional borrowings (excluding 50c fares). So I guess my advice is that greens need to "undersell" policies, because you run the risk of, as is the current case, of being seen as unrealistic, irrespective of if it is feasible on paper.

@@CroatiansR6 I do understand this argument and it's probably the most common objection people have to voting greens. My response would be that a major goal of the Greens, which I believe is just as if not more important than winning votes, is about raising people's expectations of what is possible. The two major parties often promise very little in the way of change, often arguing from the viewpoint of practicality or feasibility or fear of losing votes for being bold, and there can be merit to that in many cases, but it tends to lead to a feedback loop where the major parties are constantly telling their voters not to expect anything from them which then allows them to get away with not doing anything substantial to solve the issues facing ordinary Australians. Because of this, the Greens choose a platform that is by design quite ambitious compared to what either of the major parties is offering. They usually don't promise anything truly outlandish. Almost everything the Greens propose is theoretically doable, it would just require more effort and bravery from the major parties to implement than they are otherwise used to. It shows people that there is an alternative to the way things are and it gets people talking. While they rarely get everything they want, It usually works in the long term. When you look at a lot of the progressive reforms that have happened over the last decade or two, such as same sex marriage, the NDIS, and more recent things like the 50c fares, you'll find that the Greens were often years ahead of the curve, having been called unrealistic or crazy by the major parties until all of a sudden, when the pressure gets too high, they pivot and adopt it as their own. So that's why the Greens always promise a more ambitious platform than Labor or the LNP. It's not about winning votes, it's about affecting change. This is the experience of progressive reform in this country. It always seems impossible until it suddenly isn't.

@iamseamonkey6688 greens are insane nut jobs they need to go for good, and Labour is all most just as bad

​@@iamseamonkey6688 It's good that they don't they've let enough immigrants in leading to the worst possible housing crisis in Australia. Under the greens would look like Africa. Will never understand how young people vote for people that are ruining the "Australian Dream" of home ownership and making rents go up.

And I think people have sufficiently focused and used their baseball bats, taking out their anger at a party called Labor and because this result wasn't too bad it points to Labor's position in the Federal Election looking not too bad

This is just the start of LNP victory's

That will never happen because majority of people are not stupid like you to vote Labor again. You are triggered and your thugs lost, maybe you should move to Victoria or ACT and leave us here to run the state how we want.

How? I predicted moderate LNP majority and that was the result.

I predicted 50 and LNP are looking like getting 52 or 53. Wasnt far off.

The Greens lost seats in Murrumbidgee and Kurrajong For Murrumbidgee, although Labor lost 2.9% of the vote compared to the Greens' 2.4%, Labor's share of the overall primary remained at 33.2%, which is enough to earn two seats, along with the Liberals. The Greens lost their only seat due to having less votes than Fiona Carrick. For Kurrajong, the Greens were hit in the vote share harder than Labor and Liberals combined. This reduced their seat share from 2 to 1.

There were clearly a couple outlier polls. Most polls were around 55/45 split which is almost bang on at the moment.

I hope the LNP win in a landslide . Labor are horrible crap and crazy

Assuming you aren’t a child already, you have the mentality of one.

God I hope not they are crazy

I think the LNP's style is that they'll just go into debt and then somehow blame Labor.

Campbell Newman was 12 years ago. Ive been in Govt most of the time since, and the State Govt orgs won't do things because 'Campbell Newman did xyz 12 years ago'. People need to let that shit go and move on.

My apologies.

I'm surprised that Miles is as popular as he is when I don't think he really has much charisma. If there were more notable independents running I would agree with you about an anti major party surge, but unfortunately the best we'll get is a few KAPs elected around Townsville, a possible Independent in Rockhampton and James Ashby in Keppel.

@@aussieselect Miles is very popular with the younger voter base, especially because of his social media campaigning.

@@aussieselectmaybe but he comes across as an honest person … unlike the other dude.

It's a toss-up between Labor and Greens, whichever comes second on primary votes will likely win on preferences.

Ooops, that was a mistake. Thanks for noticing.

Interestingly safe Liberal seats in Urban Areas are moving towards the Teals or the Labor Party. But in rural areas it's towards the Liberals/Nationals

We don't have Teals up here mate
