In this case I suspect correlation *is* causation

Imagine getting this email on a Friday afternoon. I look forward to the "story". #womenwhowin

Angus Taylor has gone full Abbott-throw-back, vowing to bribe voters with tax cuts and cancelling net zero. What an absolute joke of a political party. Libs can’t find a way to go forward into modern society and so they just keep fighting wars that they’ve already lost, for Gina Rinehart’s wealth.

How much fucking crueller are we going to get? The only reason anyone in Australia is homeless is that we allow it. We've become a selfish nation waiting to rediscover our morality. What exactly is this barbarity going to achieve? #stkilda #auspol #springst archive.is/202605140957...

This just in …

A quick look at how independent Tracee Hutchison overtook One Nation to finish second in Nepean: caseybriggs.com/how-independ...

Also both the anti-preferencer and the talkback callers were not cut off nor corrected even when they were clearly talking about multi-member upper house systems which are irrelevant to the FPP debate.

The anti-preferencer's interview went for 7:41 and mine for 2:11. The anti-preferencer was allowed to finish all five answers even though four were over a minute. I was interrupted repeatedly after far less.

Jesus wept

Does anyone else think that Labor have left their social democratic voters in the same way the Liberals confirmed they'd left their small L, moderate voters in 2013/2014? #auspol

ALP too scared to take on the gas industry that strips billions from our country each year; but not shy about kicking the crutches out from under hundreds of thousands of disabled Australians. So gutsy Albo.

Congratulation to Astronaut Christina Koch to be the first woman in history to get that far away from dangerous sexual predator Donald Trump.

Honoured to second Kate Chaney's bill to ban gambling ads today. It's good policy and Australians want it. If the Gov is too scared to stand up on this, they should at least get out of the way and let others do it for them #auspol #politas

Hooray I have lived to see it - confirmed - Lou Nicholson wins Finniss from fourth on primaries, to my knowledge the first ever case at state or federal level in a single seat electorate.

#auspol You're gonna hear a lot about preferences later this year. The outrage is fake; it's dumb people asking YOU to be dumb. Ranked choice voting (preferential voting) is THE MOST DEMOCRATIC form of voting that there is. They want to outlaw it instead of learning. That's all it is.

"If the public must pay their fair share to see the Twelve Apostles, why don’t multinational fossil fuel companies have to pay more to drill for gas in the waters around them?” writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute. Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/4ukJ0H0

Hanson "people should only come to 🇦🇺 if they share our values" Also Hanson: 👉 Calls senator a bitch. 👉 Wants abortion banned with no exceptions for rape or incest. 👉 Convicted of electoral fraud. Repeat failures to disclose gifts & conflicts of interest. 👉 Incites racial hatred. 👉 corrupt

An amateur tries their best; Timmy tries our patience. Let’s be honest Timmy is the human equivalent of a '404 Error', but with more confidence.

Isaac Herzog is NOT welcomed in Australia. He advocated for every Palestinian to be exterminated. @albomp.bsky.social You do not invite him to Australia in my name.

Right #Geelong, it is almost 11am. Close up the house and batten down the hatches. The heat has just arrived. #heatvic #vicfires Stay safe everyone. See you on the other side.

shaun over here fails at being an understanding human. We can't definitively say why, but we can speculate. Don't be like shaun. Words matter. Be better. No one should have to experience this. I'm sorry it keeps happening. Let's say it together: "Don't be like shaun. Be better"

LA drag queen has gone viral for performing as Erika Kirk She absolutely nailed it 🤣

Just remember that right now the Albanese Govt is spending billions to the fund the USA military.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are. It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is. All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

For our American friends, this is how your President’s slur on *our troops who died for you* is being received by the rest of your allies, a 🧵. Across the world, on threads:

Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution

I've been humbled by a candle and a table in the pursuit clearing out bugs tonight. This idiot lit the (almost empty) candle, put it on a plastic table in the shed (next to the open door) and walked out. 1/2 www.bunnings.com.au/pie-dish-cit...

Not totally accurate in the post below but still "suspect was on bail over DV charges at time he allegedly killed three people, police say" www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Thanks for the reminder. Mean I have to change the battery in the smoke alarm.

It's almost #libspill time #auspol Will it be - *the self declared Zionist and IPA hack Timmy; *great job, Angus well done Taylor (returned from OS yet?); *or the religious military man Hastie? Don't forget the non-quota quota Price for deputy. 🍿🍿🍿🍾

Trump finally realizing that the speech was about him:

Men at Work's singer-songwriter Colin Hay is not happy "Down Under" is being used by "March for Australia" events to promote racism and xenophobia. He posted this 👇 on social media today. #auspol #racism #AusMusic 🎶

"It's all Albo's fault that the LNP has split." 😆 #AusPol

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

#auspol, anyone sensing #libspill soon? Nats defy shadow cabinet position over hate speech vote. Ley either sacks the contravening Nats thus rupturing the coalition, or, does nothing of note, further undermining her authority. Either way, for Ley, spending more time with family soon is v probable.

Donald is projecting how he believes elite validation works. Syria, Iran, Ukraine, Denmark, Russia, G7 meeting, Greenland, topped off with a casual invitation for dinner in France, so Macron can offer thanks and stroke his indefatigable ego because Trump "sets Europe straight at Davos" Fake note.

Australien government: We are stamping out hate speech* *unless you’re quoting the hate speech in your religion’s sacred text, in which case we exempt you from tax and give you a shitload of money to run schools to indoctrinate more kids in your hate speech. Cool and normal

Amazing when you have a system that lets the private sector deliver a public service it gets rorted. Grog’s Rule: When you privatise public services be sure to also allocate space in a few years for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system.

The clarion call for European alignment cannot be clearer. Post 1945 seems to be giving way to post 2026.

If the skies are clear, look south. #AuroraAustralis I don't know how to read these. All I know is the closer to 9 on the bar charts and the more negative the Bz number, the more chance of aurora. www.sws.bom.gov.au/Aurora Hoping for clear skies wherever you are.

Dancing fingers of movement were just visible with the naked eye tonight at Point Addis #auroraaustralis #aurora The very definition of ethereal.

Point Addis #auroraaustralis

When the centre pass hastily written, ill-considered legislation at the behest of narrowly focused interest groups that the wider population *feels* to mean "can't say anything in this Country anymore", mainstream punters go dancing with the fringe #auspol

#Newspoll Federal Primary Votes: ALP 32 (-4) ON 22 (+7) L/NP 21 (-3) GRN 12 (-1) Others 13 (+1) #auspol

It's now time to thank the Special Envoy into Anti-semitism for her time, and allow her to pursue other opportunities. The project she was disgracefully pursuing has now essentially collapsed when confronted with the first test of the body politic.

Autocracy: Power is concentrated at the top, and the ruler is not effectively constrained by law, elections, or independent institutions. Remember that as you read through the article ⬇️ theconversation.com/searching-re...

What a cracker!
