Australia just had a parliamentary election – both the Lower and Upper Houses – which means now is a good time to update the readers of Alternative Right on the political situation in the former colonies down under.
The result was a typical deadlock between the mainstream right-wing party – the Liberals (think Tories or Republicans) – and the mainstream left-wing Labor (think UK Labour or Democrats). We've been here before in 2010, when Julia Gillard scored a narrow victory for Labor.
In the week leading up to the election, the polls had been neck and neck as to whether the conservative Liberal Malcolm "Teflon Don" Turnbull – a cuckservative in the true sense of that name – would hold on to his recently acquired power or the equally cucked Labor dullard Bill Shorten pull off a coup and oust him. You see, Turnbull did a Brutus on his Julius Caesar about a year ago, on our own old school, moderate, right-wing, former Liberal leader Tony Abbott. I rather liked Abbott, I must confess – he of the very successful “Stop the Boats” campaign that literally did stop our refugee boat problem in Australia overnight.
