ABC 'journalist' claims SA has 'shifted to the right' despite there being no significant drop in the combined ALP +Greens vote.
🤦🏻

Correction: there's actually a slight *increase* in the combined ALP + Greens vote on current count

@luciedigitalni Lots of people who would usually have voted Liberal seem to have voted PHON instead. I don't think it's unreasonable to call that a "shift to the right".

@kauer i call that a shift 'within' the right.

@luciedigitalni @kauer a shift within the right that looks to have resulted in an increased representation for Labor. I'd categorise current Labor as centre right but I doubt that's how mainstreet media are treating them.

@kauer @luciedigitalni I agree - while labors presence appears to have grown only slightly - which I would argue is a factor of the greens not gaining enough support - there was no increase to the overall support of those on the right - ON just gained a lot of Lib voters who have defected.

@Abryce4 @kauer it's an interesting comparison to what's happening in England, where there are simultaneous shifts from Tories to Reform on the right and from Labour to Greens on the left.
