The gotcha footage of Albo, is not a win for the Australian media.

Struggling with Melbourne's weather after couple weeks in the Tropics

The gambling lobby in Australia is our NRA Dodgy! Both parties are on the payroll.

Great podcast for political nerds. Australia's greatest PM Julia Gillard interviews NZ greatest PM Jacinda Ardern. open.spotify.com/episode/3QNx...

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Australia first or Australia last? It is obvious where the right wing in Australia stands.

You generation votes, supports, destructive right wing ideology. Own it.

It is only fair. If we ban YouTube for under-16s. We must ban Sky News and News Corp for the over-60s. The latter is arguably more dangerous.

There is no red line for Right

Australian private firms manufacture F-35 parts for the global U.S. defence contractor Lockheed Martin, over which we have no authority to dictate where components are shipped,right? The issue isn’t whether Australia directly exports to Israel, nor is it solely a moral debate.

‘Beyond comprehension’ for Israel to claim there is no starvation crisis in Gaza, Australia PM says

We're not mind readers but...

New Australia Institute research shows there’s little evidence of a productivity crisis. “Australia’s so-called ‘productivity crisis’ is massively exaggerated. Low productivity is not to blame for the problems facing households today, like low wage growth.” @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

We could just build 10s of thousands of homegrown whizbang unmanned submarines for the same price.

GDP of 0.2% for the quarter & 1.3% for the year means Albo will need to stimulate the economy Raise the unemployment rate to a similar level of age-old pensions. Economic benefits will have a return on investment for the budget long term

So, when late-stage capitalism races towards wiping out all the workers, where do they think the profits will come from if the population is out of work? Universal income? Will the government need to tax companies based on their AI agent usage? www.msn.com/en-au/money/...

Sure we can increase our defence spending, funded by charging the yanks more for their basis and military presence in Australia Im all for an increase in military spending, pragmatism means an untrustworthy U.S and an unknown rising China means it has to happen Not at the demand of a foreign power

It may take a while, but it is no brainer. The Liberals need to go it alone to regain the mainstream centre-right party to regain the seats in the city, you know, where most of Australia lives.

Ted O’Brien? I've seen enough. Welcome back Scomo!

The Coalition, the party with a woman problem, has a female leader and a male deputy. Labor, the party without a female problem, has a male PM and a male deputy. Take that as you will.

Also - our preferential voting system is a beautiful thing to be defended to the death. Forget any “optional preference” etc or worse. A system where everyone’s vote matters is glorious

The Libs getting a couple of their toff seats back means nature is healing

Political party or candidate supporters who lose tend to dehumanise the preferences that saw their side lose. If you get under 50% of the primary vote, you win or lose based on preferences. Preferences are, in the end, followed and decided by the voter.

The Libs getting a couple of their toff seats back means nature is healing

I dont want to be giving the Liberal party good advice, so if you are the Liberal people, please scroll away. The party needs to return to the centre right, to the centre mainstream issues, issues Australia cares about. Bread and butter stuff.

Of all the crazy tariffs Trump has imposed, the film tariffs are something America does best: entertainment. They can't make phones, but they can make entertainment.

I noticed the Fatima Payman party Australia Voice received 5,690 votes 0.9% of the vote, in the WA senate count. Payman should think about returning the seat she took away from WA Labor voters in 2022.

Are the Greens supporters losing the plot? "Greens secure highest ever vote in history" What? The primary vote is currently down 0.4% compared to 2022 Lost all the Brisbane seats, maybe Melbourne, and will pick up just one. Ryan.

Im one of those people now, running my first half marathon in Mornington tomorrow. So I've been carb loading since Thursday.

An excuse to be show off and troll the fake "alpha" conservative bros We all know the bottom picture is the exact depiction of online rwnj warriors x.com/AshleyLeahy/...

We never got a 2025 Federal Election ABC calculator, and I think there needs to be a review, Senate estimates, or a royal commission into why not. #auspol #ausvotes

Dutton is holding on to the myth of the quiet right-wing Australians You know, the ones keeping silent at family lunch, Sky News, every talkback station, all metro tabloid newspapers, and across your Facebook and Xitter algorithm. The silence is deafening.

If Albo wins, it will be the first time since 2004 when an Australina PM has served a full term, and won another. #auspol #ausvotes

Oh no! The ultra-rich, top 10%, might pay 30% tax on suppannunation earnings over $3 million... In 30 to 40 years. Super is for Australian workers' retirement, not to make the rich richer, or to avoid tax. Cry me a river. Go invest in another asset class if worried #auspol #ausvotes

Surely, if you are a soft swinging Dickson voter, simply for shits and giggles, you would preference against Dutton. Do it for your country! #ausvotes #auspol

So we have the opposite of the last few elections. Labor could lose seats in Vic, and gain seats in QLD. #auspol #ausvotes

Listening to a journo on the radio, going around in circles on repeat, asking the PM "will you promise Australians will be better off in 3 years" is such juvenile, pathetic, gotcha, it's infuriating. Why would any politician answer this? Yes, Sabra, im a psychic. I will promise this.

This is just a test, using a setup that posts across 3 platforms.
