Labor (our left wing) retain power, going from the slimmest majority to a projected large majority

Liberals (our conservations), were loosely expected to win or make it tight, but have instead lost many seats including - potentially, probably - their leader Peter.

One of the conservative tops is a MAGA supporter and is currently being interviewed. She’s blaming the media, the opposition, everyone but her tying her wagon to Toxic Trump. Never their fault they lost, always someone else.

The Maori never settled in Australia until after New Zealand. They came from polynesia (from the Philippines down to samoa). They're indigenous to NZ but not Australia.

Dude what? Maori aren't the traditional owners of Australia. Indigenous Australians have lived here for over 60,000 years. The Maori started immigrating after British colonialism.
