About The Author
I voted Labor for the reasons outlined in this video, I wonder if the Liberal/Nationals will pay attention this time?
Sarah Henderson is hilarious
Before anyone writes the obituary for the LNP, remember that voter sentiment can be fickle at times. Momentum can shift like the wind.
Thank you for open comments ABC
And stop calling people woke for wanting a better life
Melissa’s pause at 8:13 is brilliant
I'm American. There's nothing I find more interesting than a video about politics somewhere that isn't here.
They still dont get it.
They’re still on nuclear?! Did they learn anything?
Humans are social creatures and require a government that reflects it.
Decimated means 1 in 10.
They are still in denial. Keep it up guys. Enjoys the next ten years in opposition!
Wait for the pre polling…..
Very intriguing documentary
The liberal party wont be able to get young voters in if all the party and their base does is insult the youth
I'm so over this culture war bullshit.
The class wars have begun!
They found out Australia will NOT become America.
You know, calling everyone in the hallway "Fake News" might explain one of the many reasons why you got absolutely destroyed… but hey, you wanna keep that up, that's cool, just means we can have this much fun again next election
That Maria woman is someone I would actually listen to.
You can tell they don't believe what they're saying
If The Nationals continue to over play their hand, they will keep the Liberals out of Government for years.
Hahahahahaahahahhaahahahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
At least the didn't lose 75% of their seats like the Greens'
Is it me or that guy looks like thinner JD Vance?
Right wing policies were offensive to Australians
Some things aren't worth saving
the country under Liberals were becoming another us state just like canada
Great. They still don't have a flipping clue. Long may they stay confused.
The night Albo won in 2022 I KNEW the coalition would continue to veer further right, and I can’t see them changing now.
23:50 OMG….the Liberals need to stop with the ‘lies’ lines.
Every time a question is asked, they go off on a self-serving rant or produce a motherhood statement about party unity.
Just once I'd like to see a politician give a blunt, honest answer.
We've seen what happened to Japan's nuclear power station, anything can happen, earthquake, hurricanes, human operation mistakes, the consequences will be devastating.
“Decimated” is a Roman term and meant losing one in ten, what happened to the Libs was literally worse than that.
Hallo ABC news, putting a video and then blocking the comment section is not very democratic. 😢
This is the funniest 4 Corners episode in a while
The liberal party is not relevant to modern Australia.
When George Brandis is your voice of reason, your party is in trouble.
