Welcome to our post-election Scam of the Week the week of gloating, groaning, and clutching of pearls.
Albo wins big, Libs implode, and somehow Tim Wilson is back. The Greens lose, Julian Hill declares compassion “extremist”, and EY thinks renters should skip the goat’s cheese and just pay more tax.
We break down the spin, the maths, the Murdoch meltdowns and why foreign billionaires are still the biggest winners.
This is your election wash-up.
