Australia changed it's government yesterday.

Australia had an election yesterday and kicked out the conservative government. It was so boring. There were no riots, no insurrection and almost everyone voted. The outgoing prime Minister gave a dignified speech conceding defeat and the new one gave a gracious speech accepting the position.
So dull... 😉

Are the votes tallied clockwise or counterclockwise Down Under?

@Bushranger VB is ok, sometimes. Crown, XXXX gold, I remember the days when I used to have a functioning Liver.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman VB is known as Vomit Bombs around here, lol. XXXX Gold isn't too bad, but the original XXXX was pretty shite.

Ohhh I'm not familiar with VB ... I think the only Australian beer I've ever actually had was Coopers, and I don't remember what style of beer it was

Most of what I've had from Australia was very fruity red wines (yes, including a couple of the critter labels), and to a lesser extent some whites (e.g., Tahbilk marsanne from Victoria) ... I've always wanted to try Tasmanian whisky, and if they make rum from Queensland cane, then that as well)

@SW-User Coopers is South Australian, generally thought of as one of the worst as the Water in South Oz is drawn from the end of an overworked River system.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I've always been a big fan of Coopers stout, but can't stop at one bottle 😉
