Federal Election 2022 Wrap Up - Part 1

56 minutes

Join Reality Bytes Hosts: Desley Casey and Susan Pavlic as the discuss some of the results of the Australian Federal Election held on 21st May 2022.

The ALP (Australian Labor Party) won the election, however, to date whether the new government is able to govern in their own right or govern as a minority government is yet to be determined (Thursday 26/5/2022).

Desley and Susan discuss:

Labor's win as the governing major party.

Some of the federal electorial seats, i.e. Lyons in Tasmania and Gilmore in NSW are still too close to call. (Latest update is that the sitting Labor Member for Lyons, Brian Mitchell, is maintaining a small lead. In the seat of Gilmore, the Liberal Candidate has the slimest majority of just over 100 votes ahead of Fiona Phillips the 2019 - 2022 Labor MP.

A correction we must make is that to date Peter Dutton (mentioned about 7 minutes into the discussion) has as yet to be elected as the leader for the Liberal Party. Our understanding is that at present he has put his hand up to lead the Liberal party however to date the election as leader as yet has not happened.
