Oh what a difference an election makes! With talk of extending their numbers in the federal parliament and arrogantly holding the balance of power, the Teals are fortunately now doomed to the next few years waning in well-deserved irrelevance. Fearing a minority government because of the Greens and Teals certainly was a major impetus for Albo’s historic win. Claiming victory on election night, expressing extraordinary entitlement, being out of touch and apparently not following the rules as to when recounts are triggered, it should be no surprise that Zoe Daniel wants a taxpayer funded recount. (“Teal won’t concede 260 vote margin, calls for recount, DT, 26/5). I am sure a large proportion of Australians hope the AEC says no. Alan Sexton, North Parramatta 27May2025
