Unintelligent’: Abbie rants over Bandt loss (2025)

Abbie Chatfield launched a social media tirade against her “right-wing” fans on Wednesday as it became clear Greens leader Adam Bandt had lost his seat.

Chatfield, a staunch supporter of the Greens, has been vocal on her social media platforms about the recent election.

She was seen crying tears of joy on Saturday after it emerged that not only were the Liberal Party struck by a total wipe-out, but Opposition Leader Peter Dutton had lost his seat.

She once again took to TikTok on Wednesday after a “right-wing troll” sent her a comment asking whether she needed a “welfare check” following the news of Bandt’s defeat.

“First of all, I’m okay with this outcome,” insisted the star. “I wish Adam Bandt would have kept his seat. But obviously the greater good was to keep Dutton out. Now that was achieved, that was the main goal.”

“I would love though in return to wellness check on you,” she continued, referring to the comment from a troll. “Everyone that’s commenting things like that, I know for a fact you are deeply unlikeable, unintelligent, ugly, strange, isolated people who were desperate for community and validation.”

She suggested the troll had been left frustrated with the Liberal Party being completely wiped out in the historic victory for Labour.

“I think that before this election you thought you were going to get validation to feel like you’re part of a group and maybe for the first time in your life you would feel like someone actually loves you. You thought: ‘We’re going to show all those women and all those minorities who’s boss. I’m a straight white man and I’m lonely and that’s their fault.’ But the reality was you didn’t win the election.”

“And I’m sure you wanted some one nation seats, some Clive Palmer seats,” continued Chatfield. “You want a bit of extra far-right stuff in there because you wanted to ruin your own lives. You wanted to ruin your own lives just to spite women who were smarter and more successful than you. So I hope you guys are all recovering okay after the election because honestly I’m really happy with the outcome.”

She added: “I wish it was minority government. What can you do? Next election is always next election. But for now the worst outcome was avoided and that was the main goal.”

The 2025 Federal Election was under a microscope with media personalities such as Chatfield, influencers, athletes and advocates becoming more vocal than ever before during the election campaign.
