While it's not yet clear what type of coalition Australia's Labor party might put together this term, yesterday's sweeping change in political favour across the Tasman resoundingly voted the Liberal-National coalition out. Throughout the election the parties and their supporters increasingly made deliberate use of memes and social media in their campaigns, hoping to strike viral gold. My Labor minority govt prediction was pretty close and may yet prove correct, with Labor still needing 4 more seats for majority govt. It's time for a better future.https://t.co/O9kk0cHHJH pic.twitter.com/ZGheOlph7b — Australian Labor (@AustralianLabor) May 19, 2022Strangest tweet of the election - might have been hard to decide, but One Nation's "We will not shut up and eat the bugs" was a head-scratcher.
