Yesterday's state elections in New South Wales have resulted in a historically huge win for the Liberal/National Party Coalition, with the Coalition winning 68 seats and Labor reduced to 22.
The biggest swing away from Labor was about 36 per cent in Bathurst and the party lost seats in its traditional strongholds of the Hunter Valley, Illawarra and Western Sydney. The defeat looks set to tip state Labor into the abyss of a political dark age, with dozens of MPs losing their seats.
One can only hope that this will be the beginning of the end for the Federal Labor Party and the end of the Australian welfare culture.
