Guardian Australia looks back on the gaffes, brush-offs and downright nasty punch-ups over five weeks of the 2019 federal election campaign. As the major parties wrestled for voters’ attention, it was the United Australia party that proved impossible to ignore. Clive Palmer’s outfit seemed to coat every surface in lemon yellow. Satirical superhero Captain GetUp flew in early – a baffling plant by conservative group Advance Australia sent to ‘uncover’ the radical nature of GetUp – but didn’t last the distance. Ultimately it all came down to a question that has probably never popped up in an Australian election campaign before: who goes to hell?

Now can we do the same in Victoria ? I’m suffering from even higher taxes 🙁
lol you guys are butt hurt
OKAY AUSTRALIA YOU MADE YOUR DECISION and now your Karma approaches I defend your right too choose……….to make your own decisions without COERCION……..so what you chose and why…….will the weather respond…and please do not blame your Government for an economic crash in this country as it may have little too do with them…..just too complicated too understand it…..so many factors so many triggers……and who would be prepared for that……new technologies emerging……….
Australia fought back against the Marxists. We all know what is going on. The world has awakened.
Well done Australia!!!! NO COMMIES for us!!
Of course Clive Palmer doesn't give a stuff what the poor dumb plebs think or say, his $50 million Political campaign, can now be ridden off as a Tax Loss, that's a WIN WIN to Clive.. my sarcasm is oozing out
Guardian is extreme left no matter in which country they are located.
The intellectual elites fail with the leftist rubbish again. Going to uni these days must be like going to some horrible parallel dimension.
Billary won't do the right thing and piss off. He want's to hang around and play kingmaker like the good old day's. Knifing people all over the place. His Mrs comes from one of the wealthiest families in Australia why doesn't he go and spend some of her money instead of spending ours.
It's a shame hawk didn't hang around for the election result.
Shifty Shorten making himself look good by shouting everyone a drink with someone else's money!
And the greatest cheer goes to Get Up, please people make a donation to Get Up so they can target other seats and increase the swings to the sitting LNP members, and also a big thank u to Bob Brown for the anti Adani drive he led in Qld in their fossil fuelled vehicles that increased the vote for Nationals in the central Qld seats.
Just be prepared for the third world war and the great tribulation for rejecting jesus as God
Fantastic result!
Look who.is laughing now
Thank you Australia. You saved your beautiful country from communism.
BIg thanks to GetUp for handing power to the LIBS 1 LOL!
Guardian hated it when center right govement win again😂😂😂
The lefties have left the house!
Russian collution?
Lmao I love space invaders
Who’s that guy tried to shake hand, and got rejected.
Liberal Party win is a victory for Zionism, of course. Zillions of Australian tax dollars shall continue flowing into Al Qaeda's Jordanian bank account as the Liberal Party continues its subservience to America.
Loved how they made references to Bob Hawke when Hawke was probably more right wing than most in the current LNP.
Who are you going to blame this time, Trump? Get your head out of the clouds, running a progressive campaign was suicide. It's time the Left grew up.
Leftism is being rejected Globally and the Media is in an absolute meltdown.
Wake up ,in the morning, and everything it's as it was yesterday elections, nothing had has changed, citizens continues theirs cotidiano ,political issues resolved easily, nothing dramatic. Another beautiful day. 🌞🌚
NOOOO Billary quit . He was the best opposition we ever had 🤩
You may silence us on social media. You may silence us in the news. You may silence us in movies and television shows. BUT YOU WILL NOT SILENCE US IN THE VOTERS BOOTH. We are the patriots who love our countries and our unique cultures and we will not be silenced any longer!! Congratulations to 🇦🇺 . 🇺🇸
1:10 that was cold!!!
Thank goodness Australia voted against Social Engineering Commies! Well done Scott Morrison. So relieved!!!
