My niece gave me a flower this afternoon, I think it suits me well 🥰

Cheers!

Yesterday, I had the privilege to witness my friend Jess do her maiden speech in parliament. Go watch it if you haven't already, it's such an inspiring and compassionate speech that made me feel very emotional. It was an overall amazing day in parliament. Congratulations, @jessteesdale.bsky.social!!

Watching @alifrance.bsky.social's maiden speech has me emotionally devastated. It makes me feel so proud of who we are as the Labor movement. #auspol

Love these two to bits 🥰

The coincidences you encounter while planning trips! Because I'm in Melbourne for the day and both my parents are driving to Launceston from Brisbane, my dad can't handle taking the boat so he flew over the strait. We had a brief meet-up while he waited for his flight. It was good to see my dad!

I have a flight to catch early tomorrow morning, but I'm too distracted with trying to troll myself on Facebook...

I have a bit of a hectic week coming up next week, with everyone going to the polls and my work/social lives getting more and more busy. Today, I am finally taking a day off from both work and campaigning to relax and enjoy a beautiful Saturday morning here in Launceston. I've needed this 🥰

It's a good day to doorknock for this absolute legend 🥰

Working nearly 40 hours over 4 days straight was exhausting. I am just relieved to be able to head into bed, drink a sleepy tea, indulge in some good chocolate and enjoy knowing that I am not working again until Monday next week. 😌

Pretty proud of what I cooked up for dinner tonight - I've been working unusually long days since Monday (tomorrow will be the last day I work for this week!) and needed a good dinner to reward myself for the long hours I've pulled off. Pork chop, fried broccolini and chippies. Tasted amazing 🥰

Working 2 jobs and trying to volunteer as much as I can during a snap state election is hard work. Elvis is keeping me very good company during my short break between trying to juggle everything around 🥰

Because Queenslanders take for granted how good state Labor governments are and how vital it is for Labor to be in power. I hope history repeats itself and Queenslanders will vote Labor back in again by 2028...

What an amazing gig from the Bad Dad Orchestra! I am now officially a fan and need to go on a listening binge. It was amazing to jump into my friend Ebony, too! Thanks @gorex.bsky.social for introducing me to this incredibly sublime band 🥰

Last night was fun 🥰

Fuck, I hate the Queensland press so much

Forgot to post these pictures I took on Monday when everything was frosted over. As it was -1c, my walk to work was swift, which wasn't a surprise in that weather 🥶

It was such a pleasure to celebrate Michelle's political career for her farewell party today. I am so excited to see what she does next, outside of politics 🥰 love you to bits @chelobyrne.bsky.social xx

It's a beautiful day to head out to Beauty Point and help out my friend Luke with dropping off some pamphlets!

👏

Fuck this stubble

The look in his eyes is utterly mesmerising. 🥺

One of the best premiers Queensland has ever had. I still mourn her loss every once in a while, especially since David Crisafulli got elected...

I always love supporting local theatre productions. Wild Swimming by Marek Horn was terrific! I love how earnest and cheeky the show was, plus the audience participation was pretty cool 🥰

For @ellipticalglitch.bsky.social 🫦

I was fortunate enough to explore the Architecture and Design center at the Inveresk UTAS campus today because I was helping a uni student out with an art project. Love the photos I captured. :)

Genuinely hate how much I use Twitter to this day smh. Only use it to keep up with #politas, see what my friends are up to and to sometimes dump my thoughts onto multiple tweets and then delete those tweets in a few days time. 🥴

I never typically like buying newspapers nowadays, but if one of my good friends is on the front page then it's worth supporting my local IGA and buying today's issue of The Examiner. 🥰

Bridget’s electorate office of five couldn’t cope with basic constituent enquiries. Emails, calls, letters ignored. How will she go with *one* staffer in state politics?

Genuinely the best $5 I've ever spent on anything hands down. My first ever time participating in the Rad, Bad or Mad Movie Club was such a blast with a screening of The Apple (1980). This is now my favorite bad movie that's ever been made. Do yourself a favor and check out this club!

🤦🏼‍♀️

My heart aches about hearing the news of the retirement of Michelle O'Byrne. By far the best representative of Bass is now gone and it's a huge loss for the community. Her grace and integrity will always be admired by many looking back on this period of Tasmanian Labor's history. #politas

I recently just received a few followers from Tasmania, assuming it's due to my political statements on there and someone who's a huge fan of a duo from my favorite band Goose house. How the hell do I balance both Tasmanian politics and Goose house on my Twitter account? 😤

Looks like Tasmanian politics has turned into utter chaos... Another state election only 14 months into this state parliamentary term is truly going to keep me on my toes lol. Only felt like yesterday I voted in the last state election. #politas

Don’t envy Michelle O’Byrne, honestly. That was a tough position to be put in. #politas

Started using Twitter again recently because I made a nice friend there... Hence why I haven't been so active on Bluesky. I feel so bad 🥲

Hope everyone has a beautiful Pride Month ahead, as well as a great start to winter at the same time 😌

Did my first ever parkrun today! I completed my first ever 5km walk/run in roughly 36 minutes. So excited to see how I progress 😁 #parkrun #parkrunlaunceston

Love vcing with my besties at sporadic times because we're all based across the world with stupid schedules 😭

Yesterday I spent my day out and about soaking in the sun, buying a book, taking pictures and reading a book that I received as a birthday gift from a friend of mine ages ago in City Park. I love autumn in Tassie so much.

Hi! Apologies for not posting here lately, been busy with the election and being in Japan. Thought I'd post just a few highlights from my trip! I saw my favorite band (Goose house) get back together to perform for the first time in years and explore a few other places. :)

My good friend @jessteesdale.bsky.social won Bass tonight. Peter Dutton lost Dickson. Labor expands it's majority in parliament. What more could you ask for on election night?!

Dutton found in Moreton Bay! Supposed to be a presser about cyclone but wasn’t. He criticised Albo for not knowing about Chinese warship (proven lie); Labor’s “spending & taxes” (actually Labor is giving tax to all) & Albo’s “inability to help Australians when they need it most” #PutDuttonLast

Happy International Women's Day! 😊

And if anyone would like to give me any recommendations, please do!

Today is a good day to start a thread discussing my thoughts on sparkling wines. Here is the start of hopefully what will be a very boring thread about Tasmanian sparkling wines.

Besties I needed to come on here and say that, I am sorry, but I am officially woke. Oops 🤭

NEWS: A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will make the single largest investment in Medicare ever.

I am so excited to see Medicare getting revitalised so that we can see a bulk billed GP again. Let's get Labor elected again - the Liberals/Nationals are notorious for cutting essential services, like Medicare. Don't trust them to strengthen such a vital part of our society.
