With the last seat finally called after multiple recounts, the 2025 Federal Election has all but disappeared from the headlines
After close to 6 months of intense political punditry and campaigning, the nation decided to stick with the same mob they’d been complaining about for three years.
However, with multiple rate cuts and a wildly unpredictable US government announcing earth-shaking knee-jerk foreign policies by the day, it seems that the Australian voters opted to go for the Labor Party’s cooler hand, leaving the Liberals in such a state of disarray that their bitter in-fighting struggles to even make the news.
Four weeks into the new Parliamentary term, and Australians are cherishing the post-election Australian news cycle that now focuses on mid-season player transfers in the NRL and AFL.
On top of that, mysterious deaths in rural Australia are back in the headlines. As well as the most recent DRUG BUSTS, as reported by the Australian Federal Police.
In fact, with all these pandemics, elections and referendums over the last few years – nobody seems to notice that there is now a booming tobacco blackmarket.
That’s another thing that’s been making the news, as criminals begin blowing eachother’s shop fronts up, and cops bust containers full of Chinese and Saudi Arabian durries.
As tabloidy and exploitative as this sensationalised crime reporting has become in recent months, Australians are just glad that they don’t have to deal with Peter Dutton starting a race war on the front page of every major national newspaper every week.
Australians of all colours and creeds are cherishing the refreshing post-election news cycle, and are enjoying the type of reporting that occurs when the media choose to focuses on what unites us: murder mysteries, catty footballers, and organised crime.
