#Auspol
we already know #MoniqueRyan managed to keep #kooyong, but i enjoyed s article so much i thought sharing it here would be an excuse to read it several times:… (the sense of entitlement to an electorate is not confined to one party, but it really really really bugs me.)<<Hamer was in some ways an ideal Liberal candidate: the great-niece of a well-respected long-term Victorian premier, young, Oxford-educated, and a protégé of Senator Jane Hume. She’d lived for some years in the United Kingdom and the United States, however, and possibly lacked established roots in the community other than through her family connections. She made the error of misrepresenting herself to the electorate as a Millennial renter sharing the struggles of aspirational home ownership and paying the bills, when she was in fact the owner of two properties and beneficiary of a large family trust. Given the subsequent closeness of this contest, this misstep may have cost her dearly.>>
another little comment provided another smile:
<<My group of more than 2000 volunteers has strong community roots. Everyone knows everyone in Kooyong. It became clear to us that some of these new Liberal representatives were drawn from the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, a religious group that discourages its members from voting. The female Brethren wore black tennis skirts and black leggings, while the men tended to chinos and R. M. Williams boots. They worked hard, with long shifts on pre-poll and at polling booths, and the somewhat unsettling encouragement to voters to “Make Australia Happy Again”. They appeared to know little about policy, or the electorate, but they were plentiful and enthusiastic, certainly in comparison with the older Liberal Party members.
Nine newspapers reported this week that the federal Liberal Party now faces criticism for providing the Plymouth Brethren with confidential voter information.>> -

Re-elected #Teal #independent #MoniqueRyan speaking on #ABCRN said she won because of her on-the-ground approach in her electorate:
“Over the last three years, since I was elected to represent Kooyong I’ve worked very hard to fulfil the contract that I made with my community, which is that I will listen to them & try to represent them as effectively as I can on the things that matter to them.” #auspol

#NewsCorp [#NewsCorpse] no longer has the power to sway voters.
In 2022 NewsCorp #tabloids went all out with copy that read like political advertising – in particular attacking #MoniqueRyan & other #Teal candidates. Yet look at the results & again this time round, in the contest just ended.
Too much listening to & engagement with #SkyNews #AfterDark, & the #Marksons & #Credlins of the world, is a reason why the Libs are so manifestly out of touch. #auspol #ausvotes

i guess monique had to play mum in that situation, though a little more outrage would have been acceptable to me
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 that woman who smacked the nazi
and f*** the nazi. there are situations where polite calm is not required.here is a clip from The Good Fight, not because the nazi-punching message needs amplifying, but because the whole episode is brilliant.
(If you have paramount/ stan it’s season 3 episode 5. the Blum character is a haemorrhoid, but the rest of it sparks joy) -

CW: Auspol, "HECS" changes, election timing
@sister_ratched @HardBeingGreen
Excellent! I would vote for Zali as PM, but as you say Paul it is a tough choice!
#MoniqueRyan & other independent MPs (#KyleaTink, #ZoeDaniel, #SophieScamps and #ZaliSteggall) will hold a press conference later this morning to call on the major parties to release their 2035 emissions reduction targets before the next election.
Ryan told ABC Radio that Australians want to know “what the major parties think about #climateChange and how they plan to act on it”.
Industry wants certainty, she says, adding that people want to understand the timelines and the economic benefits. In a press release, she said:
Australians want the major parties to demonstrate a strong commitment to action on climate change. #Emissions reduction targets give industry certainty and will help guide the energy transition. Voters deserve to know exactly where the parties stand, before the next federal election.

After Candid Self-Reflection, Liberal Strategists Say Best Person to Replace Rejected Kooyong MP Josh Frydenberg Is … Josh Frydenberg
https://theshovel.com.au/2024/06/03/liberal-strategists-say-best-person-to-replace-rejected-kooyong-mp-josh-frydenberg/Another kerb-kicker from @theshovel.
In all seriousness, this it a trial-balloon being sent-up to test people's opinions. This kerfuffle shows how divided the Liberal Party are. Factional infighting presents party members with two choices:
- Sexist, racist, old-boys-club, RWNJ wing.
- Old-school Conservative, generational privilege wing.Those calling for Josh Frydenberg to replace Amelia Hamer as the Liberal candidate for Kooyong think it's okay to break their own party's preselection process, and are harkening-back to the "Good ol' days" of Scott Morrison. They've forgotten that Josh Frydenberg was one of the worst Federal Treasurers in living memory under the leadership of ScottyFromMarketing.
Those calling for Amelia Hamer haven't heard her say a word about policy, but they like her posh Oxford-educated credentials and good family-name. She gets to ride on the coat-tails of her grandfather, Rupert Hamer, the Premier of Victoria from 1972 to 1981.
Neither group is in touch with reality. Dr Monique Ryan won the seat of Kooyong in 2022 with a 2.9 per cent margin. The seat of Kooyong has been considered a safe Liberal seat for generations. It's why it's given to people in important roles such as Treasurer. Monique Ryan beat Josh Frydenberg because he's a fucking idiot and nobody liked his bootlicking of ScottyFromMarketing.

@Qldaah I understood that Karen Andrews was not contesting the next election anyway! Yeah, that would be a great plan, to dump two women to get “Friedberg” … I think #MoniqueRyan would have an absolute blitzer with that one! I can imagine the press releases going out thick and fast and I’m sure #Climate200 also getting on the act of making him look like the total prick that he is!

Dr #MoniqueRyan, the independent MP for #Kooyong, is voting in support of the motion:
I call on all members of the House to show the Australian people that they renounce and resolve and a call to action as strongly as our electorates have. If we do not, we risk shattering the virtual trust is given to us by our constituents. If we do not, then we will be telling the Australian people that we are content with representatives who undermine the principles of responsible government.
