Albany has always been a conservative demographic. I think we’ve been Labor for so long merely by virtue of our former Labor candidate Peter Watson being so well known and being a boomer.
Unfortunately Broughs conservative social ideas obviously resonate with a lot of voters.
That, and low information voters who saw all his advertising showing him in Dr scrubs, and thought voting for a Dr would fix their poor health.
Looks like we got the liberal candidate Tom Brough in Albany.
Last time our Labor Candidate Rebecca Stevens won by 11%.
Big swing to Liberal. I’m incredibly disappointed.
Isn’t that the nutjob homophobe one?
I’m a little surprised. Didn’t think Albany would go for him
Yeah that’s him.
Anti-abortion, anti-lgbtiq, repulsive personality.
I’m also surprised and greatly saddened.

Disappointing…
Denmark has always felt like the Freo of Albany but I guess there’s not really the numbers there to change anything.
Well there’s always next time
I now realise Denmark is part of a different electorate 🤦♂️
Looking at Mettam’s face as he made that non-sensical remark on abortion a week or so ago was incredible.
With friends like those, she doesn’t need enemies.
Libs were promising a major hospital upgrade to Albany. That may have swayed some votes.
