My CNN app on my phone alerted me about three hours ago that Abbott won a "landslide victory." I can't find exact results anywhere, but I watched Abbott's victory speech. Coalition has 88 seats to Labors 57, with the Greens only having one, if I recall correctly. I won't pretend to know anything about the politics of Australia, but didn't the Greens underperform by about 2-3%? I saw polling that had them up to 12% in some cases.
Not really, this is about what most polls had them at, which is sort of an overperformance because typically the Greens poll higher than they actually get. Most important for them is that they held onto Melbourne relatively easily, which is a mild upset given that a lot were predicting they'd lose it on the Liberals switching prefs to Labor over them. Still an overall decline from the last election though.
