Beyond the first thoughts on forming a #CommunityIndependents party. #auspol #ausVotes

So far the discussion seems to involve the answer: Yes, No, or Maybe. The weekend saw good articles in #TheSaturdayPaper (Karen Barlow) and Canberra Times (Jack Waterford). The discussion has emphasised post election funding distributed by AEC.

Not really covered so far are: Reps v. Senate, party candidate selection, and the different view from encumbency. (1/3)

I'm really tired of the misleading conversations, especially between journalists and politicians, that would lead anyone to believe political parties decide where your preferences (in the lower house) are distributed.

This is not true and utterly bullshit. These "preferences" they're discussing are the little pieces of paper they try to stick in your hand as you walk into the polling place.

Only you decide where your preferences go as you list them by numbering in sequence all lower house candidates.

I just wish these fuckwits would make this clear especially for new voters.

Without a doubt ! We’ve sold off so many key assets—energy, property, hospitals, infrastructure—that foreign capital now holds us hostage. Successive governments, especially since Howard, have prioritised pleasing global investors over national interest. The result? Policy paralysis and a public priced out of their own country.

I, for one, live for this chaos of RWNJ fools in the LNP experiencing humiliating failure due to their own incompetence and handing a big win to shitposters on AusPol.

Nationals will not re-enter Coalition agreement
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-20/nationals-will-not-re-enter-coalition-agreement/105313818

Liberal Party leader Susssan Ley and National Party leader David Littleproud have had a hissy-fit over their Coalition relationship, and have decided it's in the best interests of both parties to have a messy break-up.

The Coalition is dead.
RIP LNP.
The 2025 Federal Election is a gift that keeps on giving.

Lesson for the Liberals: do the opposite of what Peta Credlin says
https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/lesson-for-the-liberals-do-the-opposite-of-what-peta-credlin-says-20250506-p5lx28.html

This article lists fundamental problems with the Liberal Party. Peter Dutton led them to a record defeat — that's largely due to Dutton being a malevolent potato, but his image and message were not helped by the Sky News stooges such as Peta Credlin, who have been parroting the same awful talking-points since the days of Tony Abbott.

I heard from my sources that approximately 2/3 of international postal votes are for Teal independent Zoe Daniel. She needs just 258 votes to beat smarmy RWNJ candidate Tim "Freedom Boy" Wilson. 474 votes are yet to be counted, plus 50-100 estimated to arrive before the cutoff midnight tonight.

Could there be a resurgence in Goldstein? Tim Wilson is definitely worried giving instructions to his scrutineers but the ABC election computer still says it's a Lib gain on a 292 vote lead. #ausvotes

Ultra-close in Bradfield. A few days ago it looked like a Liberal Party retain but the gap has narrowed to 70 votes. Could change at any time. #ausvotes
