🍿 Of course the suppressed Liberal Party election fail review has been leaked already. thenightly.com.au/politics/aus...

PULL THE PLUG on Marinus - We don't need it, don't want it, and can't afford it. Further connection to the mainland only increases power prices. Not decreases them. #politas

Former SFFP candidate Steve Loring is banging on about abolishing parliamentary pensions and benefits again. SFFP actually campaigned on 3 elections ago. Great idea Steve - it was done July 1 1999. Only almost 3 decades behind the times. F**kwit. #politas

First planning meeting went well! This year's merch will be insulated coffee mugs like the yeti branded ones. And of course, a Jerry pin. Lots of things happening, check out Cafe Connections on Facebook for more.

Pretty concerning to hear from family that direct flights from King Island to mainland Aus are being stopped from mid year.

One nation is a vile infection upon our society.

Bad guys with guns. My @smh cartoon.

Cohesion. My @smh cartoon.

Jon Kudelka was not just the creator of the best tea towel in Australian history, and a great cartoonist and artists, but he was a superb friend, incredible husband and dad. Goddamn I will miss him

Cartoonist Jon Kudelka has passed away, his wife Margaret has confirmed. www.facebook.com/margaret.kud...

We have lost a legend. Being considered influential enough to make it as a kudelka cartoon was an aspiration of many. Always with his finger on the pulse to sum up the social commentary of a given issue with his artwork. The days shine a little duller without him here. Vale John Kudelka.

Former scandalous Liberal Lyons candidate tipped to run for Tas Nats or PHON. #politas

We're planning to build on this year's Bridgewater Jerry Photography Competition. Got an idea? Tag along!

It strikes me as odd that flag shagging far right conservatives love to wear the Australian flag on/as clothing despite being against the rules for displaying it. It's a denigration of the symbol they purport to love so much. And yet, come every Australia day... #auspol

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

Fun fact time! New residential infill sites in Greater Hobart are being turned down by State Growth after SG had funded studies into said potential developments. . . Reason given: because of Metro's growing inability to meet demand. More to this throughout the year. #politas

Cunts.

Cr Posselt published all the records he had on the issue in the interest of transparency. It would seem, from the evidence, that Cr Elliott is only capable of making weak arguments, badly, then blaming everyone for her lack of ability to make a successful argument. Bodes ill for state politics.

Was talking to my best mate recently - what's happening to the Christmas beatles we used to see everywhere as kids? There was a prime breeding location @ our old primary school that was lost years ago, & they've diminished rapidly in our community ever since. I miss seeing them.

it seems that liberal leaders — at all levels of gov't — are a renewable resource.

Second anniversary of our Apple TV’s spectacular attempt to understand me asking for “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas”

Merry Christmas.

YouGov public poll finds 92% support for tighter gun laws when suggested in the context of the Bondi terrorist attack. Perhaps it would be different if that context was not stated.

I really love these movies they're all different from each other. This one gave me real Murder on the Orient Express vibes. Like sitting down to watch Poirot with Dad. Worth a watch!

@ingridh.bsky.social hey look at that!

Urgh I hate political parties intruding into council elections. There should be legislation introduced that bans endorsed or affiliated party members from running. They're a cancer on local government. #politas

Liberal party insider, former politician, former minister, lobbyist, let slip today that the cost of the Stadium will be $2.3 billion not one red cent less. 🙃 #politas

Waking to find out Helen Polley has blocked you for calling her a dragon is like having your birthday on Christmas and still getting double presents. #politas.

Urgh every time I forget about this dragon of a woman I'm reminded she's still in office. I would dearly love to name names on who fucked Tas Labor up. She's on the shortlist. But one must pretend to behave a while longer yet.

That tracks. Rocky will be retired between Xmas 26 & Easter 27 - at very latest. Shelts to go mid term for S. Cameron. K. Vincent only agreed to one 6 year term. Party's cooked. #politas

A brilliant article from Crikey on how the social media ban came to be. As suspected, it's got absolutely nothing to do with the safety of young people and everything to do with mainstream media retaining its fading relevance. www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/09/3... #auspol #politas

The latest Dollars & Sense pod is up - featuring @amyremeikis.bsky.social’s panel from the Revenue Summit with @maiyazize.bsky.social and @purplepingers.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/podcasts/251...

Advocating for game meat to go to charities. The SFFP et al have done ZERO community consultation on that. Refuse to. Claim they can't afford to. I say they're using the poor as leverage just to shoot more deer. They don't really represent farmers or fishers, they're all about the guns. #politas

Seeing a couple of comments suggesting a Labor / Green coalition. Never. Gonna. Happen. Tas Labor LOATHE the greens, & constitutionally can't form coalition with them if sharing portfolios is involved, & need permission from the national executive, who'll never give it anyway. #politas

Organising campaign gazebos and having an absolute bitch of a time with it. I shall persevere!

"The AFL ought to get back to its core business of addicting people to gambling and ripping off the taxpayers of Tasmania." Never a truer word from the doyen of sports journalists Gideon Haigh on #Offsiders this morning. #politas

Rockliff and O'Byrne were responsible for this. Libs gave him something they were already considering re hunt feral deer in forestry, DOB has been getting pally with Di Falco for a while. He'll be another one term wonder. #politas

Dick Cheney is dead. Good. Rest in piss.

There's a new social media app being built called skylight. It's built on the Bluesky platform so much the same as being here but a bit like TikTok. It's decentralised and secure.

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

Exactly my problem with this. Creating 'almost creatures' that aren't actually what they look like. It cheapens life and diminishes the harsh and painful lesson of extinction.

I've forgotten what a breath of fresh air this place is!

Thank you @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social for the reminder that golf courses should be forcibly seized by the government and converted to solar farms interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...

For those that are interested. I help organise this competition.

FPV arrays on dams to reduce evap, & build day/night PV/hydro cycle. R&D for sand batteries, micro grids, agrivoltaics etc.. Our infrastructure fails every winter, remember when the whole NW coast went dark!! Get industry to invest in exchange for subsidised power. It worked before. #politas

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

@marcsettle.bsky.social Boya has just dropped a new version of the mini, this time with a receiver meant for beefier rigs.
