Yes, remember when Howard let Capitalism work, we had the Greatest Housing Boom in Australian history.
That's not really true. Howard brought in GST which added 10% to the value of all housing and it brought forward a lot of demand, and then he introduced the FHOG.
I wouldn't call that the free market at work.

Australia is going to get a big Tory dick in the arse, so that means you're fucked Black Pussy.
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.
Looking at the figures and, while yes, with preferences taken into account, the Liberals have definitely won, I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a decisive win.
I don't know if there are any better sites to view the breakdown, but...
I'm still confused as to why there are 3 Liberal parties.Actually, confused may not be the word, I know the CLP are a NT regional party and the LNP are similar for Queensland.
Maybe unsure whether they were not imaginative enough to come up with actually different names or they split off to add a bit of confusion to the ballot slip.
They give their preferences to the bigger Liberal party, why not just amalgamate them?
I wouldn't think the same of the National Party, they have clearly differentiated themselves by not using Liberal in their name.

CLP is a sort of amalgamated Nats and Libs (Nats used to be called Country party, but not sure if there ever was a Country or National Party in NT). Qld LNP is actually amalgamated Nationals and Libs. They amalgamated only a few years ago.
There is no Liberal party in Qld or in the NT, so it is not possible for the CLP or LNP to give prefs to the Libs.
I generally write a nasty little poem or the tyrant quote from Terry Pratchett on my ballot slips, so it's not as if my confusion causes further issues.
Edit
I should clarify that I only do that because voting is compulsory, if it were voluntary, I would vote properly. I think I object to the idea that clearly insane and stupid people also get to vote too.

Property acquisition as a topic was almost a national obsession. You couldn't even call it speculation as the buyers all presumed the price of property could only go up. That’s why we use the word obsession. Ordinary people were buying properties for their young children who had not even left school assuming they would not be able to afford property of their own when they left college- Klaus Regling on Ireland. Sound familiar?
The evidence of nearly 40 cycles in house prices for 17 OECD economies since 1970 shows that real house prices typically give up about 70 per cent of their rise in the subsequent fall, and that these falls occur slowly. Morgan Kelly:On the Likely Extent of Falls in Irish House Prices, 2007
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
