A week on from #FaddenVotes. Difficult for people outside Queensland to understand, particularly after the Aston result & the Robodebt findings. It's always two steps forward & one back here. We still live under the shadow of Joh but good, consistent truth posts from everyone on a range of issues always help us. #qldpol

How refreshing to see David Speers #Insiders using #FaddenVotes and the appointment of the new #RBA governor to try and score points for #LNP and Peter Dutton. No matter how hard he tries, he just can’t land a blow on Jim Chalmers who is far to smart for #SkyNewsLite wonder boy. #auspol

It's hard seeing news LNP candidates get elected, right next to the increasingly concerning news about climate change.

Given they've just elected the LNP successor to Stuart Robert, it's hard to argue the people of Fadden are that bothered about local crime. #FaddenVotes

The Fadden By-election 2023 result is hardly a surprise. It was always a safe seat for the Liberal Party — heck, they were represented by the toxic ghoul, Stuart Robert. Given the scandal he created, and the Dutton Effect, it's a miracle the LNP suffered a swing of only 2.1% against them.

It's notable that Legalise Cannabis candidate won a substantial 9.4% of the vote, so well done to Suzette Luyken.

It's also notable that the Greens suffered a swing against them of 3.2%. Anyone know how that happened?

Nonsense from David Speers about the Queensland election next year. The Fadden by-election was a test of the media. Against the backdrop of the Robodebt RC, it failed on the ground here. Australians would do well to review their media subscriptions. #FaddenVotes #auspol https://twitter.com/Qldaah/status/1680157446843797504

William Bowe aka Poll Bludger reporting a 7% informal vote

13 candidates is a lot

:420leaf: voters still getting it right though lol

#auspol #FaddenVotes

Oh well, not unexpected but I was hoping for a swing against the LNP despite it being their heartland

Speers is right in saying Dutton will be gloating

Not ideal

#auspol #FaddenVotes

I hate when ghouls gloat over other people's pain & potential poverty
🤬 off you LNP swill
#AusPol #FaddenVotes

William Bowe aka Poll Bludger calling #FaddenVotes for the LNP already

Not ideal

#auspol

Fadden voters did not know who Stuart Robert was at the time of his resignation. Therein lies the problem. #FaddenVotes #auspol https://twitter.com/Qldaah/status/1680134882411048960

It's mate against mate! State against...

Cut!

It's not the state of origin.

It's finger on chin time as we head into the final hour of the Fadden by-election. Can Dutton's blues maintain their dominance in the Gold Coast seat or will Albo's reds pull off the impossible? The general prediction is a Qld LNP retain and all over by 8pm. #FaddenVotes

I guess I have interest in how #FaddenVotes turns out.

My personal feeling is the LNP should be pushed out of the political sphere and into the margins.

The ALP should be considered the real enemy as their image as the "sensible" party is a front for a party captured by wealthy corporations.

Breaking: Australian media is reporting that there is a by-election in the federal seat of Fadden on the Qld Gold Coast after the resignation of incumbent Stuart Robert. #FaddenVotes #auspol https://twitter.com/Qldaah/status/1680039488800829445

Low pre-polling could be bad news for the conservatives. #faddenvotes

LNP candidate campaigned on youth crime but that is a state issue. #faddenvotes

It's #qldpol so no one really knows what's going to happen in Fadden today. Professor John Mickel is a former state Labor Speaker & a minister during the Beatie & Bligh eras as well as an advisor to Premier Wayne Goss. He doesn't see a change from the Qld LNP. #FaddenVotes #auspol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-15/fadden-by-election-day-cameron-caldwell-letitia-del-fabbro/102592100
