  1. Never thought #Albo would be such a "pick me" but here we are

    I don't think it'll be long until we resurrect the #NoWar Marches of 2003. I hoped we'd never have to do that again.

  3. I see the #Crumbmaiden has defeated #SideshowBob for the #Liberal leadership.

    I wonder how long that lasts before the constant undermining and backstabbing leads to a #Libspill. The conservatives have form when a centrist leader tries to plot a middle/right road - cf Turnbull circa 2015-2018.

  4. For those #auspol tragics that may be interested, the latest in Bean (southern ACT) is that David Smith jumped to a 1,000 vote lead around mid-morning and Jessie Price has again pulled back in front. At COB yesterday, Jessie had a 200 vote lead and that has increased today to 906 votes.

  5. I voted before lunch today at the local primary school.

    I had forgotten the Federal election allows people to hand out how-to-vote pamphlets up to the entrance (for those overseas, these are party material that tells uninformed voters where to put their preferences - we have preferential voting in Australia and not ‘first past the post’). Local ACT elections have a 50 metre exclusion zone so you never have to deal with these people.

    Once I got in the gate, there was a queue that took about 15 minutes to navigate. Four candidates on the ballot for the House and about 16 for the senate. It was easy - the independents got my first preference and the parties got the last preference (well almost, the anti-vaxers on the senate ballot got my absolute last preference).

    I then enjoyed my #DemocracySausage (the local primary school would have made a lot of money today) and was on my way.

  6. After an interminably long (and mostly uninspiring) Australian Federal Election campaign, tomorrow (Saturday) is the big day.

    While about half the electorate has already voted (early voting started right after Easter), the rest of us vote tomorrow.

    What I am looking forward to is … a #DemocracySausage

  8. I see the #LNP are focussing on ‘crime’ again.

    For those who came in late … Crime in Australia is … wait for it … a STATE (and Territory) MATTER. States are responsible for the Criminal Justice System.

    The #LNP are focusing (once again) on a State issue instead of focussing on anything they are actually responsible for.

  11. Can someone please explain WHY this former Murdoch right-wing @abcnews employee is allowed to 'hog the limelight' on the public broadcaster so much? #AfternoonBriefing #QandA #insiders

  13. @NoodleRecords Now I understand less... I am assuming that you are talking about Liberal politicians, because often when I ask questions to Labor politicians, they attack Liberals instead of answering the question.

    I didn't mean I don't want a handout. I meant why are the energy companies getting the handout instead of the people you're supposed to represent? Serious question.

    I'm not a liberal voter, so you might have to choose anther way to deflect the question 🤣.

  15. I live in the seat of Page. Our current MP is Kevin Hogan who is also the shadow trade minister, meaning if the LNP wins he will be the guy handling all of these trade issues with the US.

    Page also has Casino, the beef capital of Australia. The LNP want to sidle up to the US but this leaves a conflict of interest - does he side with his electorate and protect the beef industry (which has been a focus of Trump's), or does he side with his party and screw us over?

    Interestingly, Labor have a candidate in the area called Wendy Backhaus but I can't find any information on her. The ALP site has a list of all candidates: alp.org.au/our-people/our-peop and the seat of Page isn't listed. I would have thought given the global issues right now and who the opposition is here that they might make an effort.

    Does anyone have a way to ask Labor if they plan on doing anything in this seat?

  21. Only someone at skynews Australia could watch that pitful, egotistical, and disgusting display and come up with this interpretation. They have nailed their hopes to a Trump and Dutton partnership, and now they desperately make themselves look so stupid trying to defend everything in the states. #auspol #Australia #auspol25
