Last Wednesday Labor’s national secretary, Paul Erickson, delivered the traditional election winner’s speech at Canberra’s National Press Club. This opportunity to exercise bragging rights and feed journalists the government’s preferred narratives about what happened and why is as longstanding as it is ritualistic. Playing with the defeated team’s heads is a priority.

For once, the superlatives apply. It was a “shock”; it’s “stunning.” No one expected this. At time of writing, across the 111 electorates with (incomplete) two-party-preferred counts, the Australian Electoral Commission has Labor on 54.8 per cent. The 111 swings range from a 15.1 per cent swing to Labor in Braddon (Tasmania) to 11.1 per cent to the Coalition in Bendigo (Victoria).

We are in the twilight of election campaign 2025 and betting markets, those distillers of expectations, are giving Labor around a 90 per cent chance of retaining government. The final polls are averaging roughly 52.5 per cent for Labor after preferences, which (as it happens) is what the most recent Newspoll says. The Coalition–News Corp tag team is mounting a last-minute scare campaign about a re-elected Labor government holding another Voice referendum.

Early voting has commenced, and by the end of the second day around 1.1 million Australian had already pre-polled. Others would have already sent in a postal vote. With the electoral roll at a touch over eighteen million and official turnout likely to be around 90 per cent, give or take, we’ll probably end up with sixteen million votes, or maybe a few more. At the 2022 election, for the first time, most people had voted by the time the day arrived; that looks likely to happen again.

Obama, Clinton, Carter, Johnson and Kennedy also fleeced billions of dollars from Americans in crypocurrency scams, yet not a peep from Democrats, progressives, libtards and the left.
