'Australians are dumb, mean-spirited and greedy. Accept it,' she posted on Saturday night, as the Liberal Party clinched a surprise victory.

Shortly afterwards, the comedian followed up by saying 'the only thing left to look forward to in a AUSTRALIA is Schadenfreude,' a German word for getting pleasure from other people's misfortunes.

'Australia. If the LNP wins we have decided to be a backward looking country in a backwater. I wish I was a New Zealander,' the novelist Tweeted in the midst of election results being counted.

Outspoken author Clementine Ford didn't hold back with her Tweets either.

'F***. Fifty years ago, Labor lost the 1969 Don’s Party election. History repeats itself: first as tragedy, then as farce.'

He then said 'WA has gone to s**t too,' after early results suggested WA was following suit with the rest of the country's votes.

Liberal voters have been celebrating after the election was called for Scott Morrison.

The result was called shortly after 9.30pm AEST - as results began to be called in Western Australia.

Labor struggled to pick up enough seats even in Melbourne, in its strongest state Victoria, and has lost electorates in Brisbane, north Queensland, western Sydney and Tasmania.

Millions of votes are still yet to be counted.
