“This was not your typical election outcome. The Australian Labor Party (ALP) is forming government with the lowest primary vote in history. The moderate men of the Liberal Party were wiped out in urban areas by moderate liberal women. Populists Clive Palmer and Pauline Hanson spent big, but to no avail. The Greens wave rolled ashore in Brisbane, showing southern states how it’s done. While these outcomes surprised some observers, they all have their roots in issues and activities that have been bubbling away for many years.”
