A number of twists and turns here. No secret PM and previous Environment Minster Plibersek bitter intra factional opponents, but you were correct with your assumptions as to a lesser hard green look going into the election campaign when the polls were a lot closer, and also to appease WA voters where a number of existing seats were crucial. Post election, the pro Labor results were not expected nor forecast by anyone. It gets better for the PM and Labor, with the Liberals and NP no longer in Coalition, ostensibly hostile after Senator Nampijinpa Price defected to the Liberal Party Room. PM can get through any legislation that he desires, in HR, a commanding majority, and in the Senate, from 1 July 2025, with Labor's increased numbers, together with the unchanged Greens of 11, no need for the Independents or Crossbench. Based on current forecasts only, counting is still underway in some contests.
