Reference:- The Labor Party has achieved an historic landslide victory in Australia's federal election .

 Reference :-   Matron of Sky News , Peta Credlin , and doyen of the Murdoch empire, Andrew Bolt , have given us the benefit of their election result analyses . 

Here at the Sky Reply we felt obliged to watch the most respected of the Sky News political commentators as they presented their astute analyses of the election result . 

Some folk might view their presentations and simply dismiss them as two bitter and twisted warriors of the far right who hated watching their party lose the culture wars .  But not everybody . Others may dismiss them as two bitter and twisted warriors of the far right who hated watching their party lose the culture wars without bothering to view their presentations . 

For those who have better things to do , here is quick precis of their opinions .

Peta Credlin could be summarised as follows :- 

The Labor party told lies and bought votes with cynical cash handouts . Most people did not vote for Labor and they only won on preferences .   She admitted that the LNP should shoulder a great deal of the blame for such a catastrophic loss , especially since they had failed to fight the " culture wars " more vigorously .

Andrew Bolt could be summarised as follows :- 

 In the past , when the LNP won , young Andy Bolt was quick to say that the Australian voter can be relied upon to make the right decision  . On this occasion ,  young Andy tells us that the Australian voter made the wrong decision .  According to Andy , the LNP only lost because the voters are fools . 

Today I asked Ken junior to cast his eyes over this post before publishing it .  He had nothing  to say , except this  :-

" What are culture wars ? " , Ken junior said . 

" That is a complicated question . Disruptive battles fought in the media  over race , gender,  ethnicity , religion , social class ..... that sort of thing . " , I said. 

" Never heard of them . " , Ken junior said . 

" Well you will if Peta Credlin gets her way as she fights for the return of her beloved LNP .", I said . 

" That sounds like something the country really needs . " , Ken junior said. 

  Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit , but on this occasion I decided to let Ken junior's remark go through to the keeper . 

Your comrade ,  Ken
