At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.

This makes it sound like the result arrived extraordinarily quickly (which, in fairness, it was a very fast call) but elections here are decided entirely in the eastern states. It was obvious that the swing was on and Labor were clear favourites to win before polls in WA even closed.

By far the best news of the night though was that Temu Trump (Peter Dutton) lost his own seat just like Pierre Polievre in Canada several days ago. That makes him the first opposition leader to lose their own seat at a federal election.

I’ve been asking myself the same question lately. If Maccas is nearly the same price as an actually good burger, why not just get the good burger?
