Anything but Labor/Greens minority government and I'm ok with it. Andrews is a dick and Labor sucks, but the Vic Libs are an uninspiring mess. Hoping for a LibDem, DLP or Shooters Party rep in the upper house.

Voted below the line, gave nothing to Labor, Greens, Animal weirdos, Reason, Hinch, Kill yourself party and other minor issue weirdness (Battlers, transport) and Socialists.

Yeah, it's a wipeout. Greens have no power so it's fine by me. Guy will get the arse and we might finally get an effective opposition.

Swings seem to be

Labor +6%
LNP - 6%
Greens -1%
Ind +1%

Looks like 4 more years of Labor. Get in while they're throwing money around and get your discounted solar panels and free TV's before it all turns to shit sometime in 2020.

This.

It's reminiscent of the 2002 state election.

Labor the big winners.

Liberal and Greens looking like the big losers.

The Libs can f*ck off. If you politicise crime then you don't deserve to be in power. Cheap, gutter like politics.

Even Caulfield might go to the ALP & that is unheard of.

As soon as the Greens got into Bed with the LNP, that pushed all those Left Wing ALP voters that shifted to the Greens back to the ALP.

I'm so glad I don't work in public health anymore.

Just about every senior manager who's had dealings with this government would be reaching for the alcohol of their choice about now and thinking 4 more years of micro managing.
