In what was a historic election, Labor was returned to government for a second term, in monumental fashion, the likes of which we may never see again!
From Dutton’s departure, to the sheer number of first-time-ever moments, to Admin 1’s adventures on the night, we look at everything that went right for Labor, to what went wrong for the Libs.
We also take a look at the many surprises this election, as we farewell some of our former guests, and explore what the hell happened to the Greens.

We also go through his rather questionable policy choices, how it will affect the everyday person, not just in the public sector that may be culled, but by all of us, who end up using the fruits of their labour.

It's Election Time! Admin 1 introduces our new Admin 2, as we dive into all things Queensland, we assess the state of play in this election.

We discuss the implications of the latter, given the LNP's sheer volume of unanswered questions on the economy, mining and abortion.
