IT'S HERE! Liberal Lies Collector Card #6: "Renewables are driving up power bills" The Truth? Electricity is expensive because of surging fossil fuel prices. 🔄 Repost to share the truth 💾 Save now to quickly share 👇 See thread for extra details ➕ Follow for more! #auspol #factcheck #AusVotes2025

👋 Hey #auspol! What's up?! Quick 🧵 It's not time for us to fully reanimate yet, but looks like we'll clearly be needed for the next election, 'cause there's no way Liberals will try to get this "No #NetZero" thing over the line without A PACK OF LIES. (Probably recycled?) #factcheck #AusVotes2028

😍 Ooh, yeah, the hiding spiking energy cost data before an election stunt. Such legit "We're better at the economy" behaviour. Remember Jane Hume singing "It won't be easy under Albanese"? Post-election it became clear this meant "We know we've lost, but everything iscactus. Have fun!" #auspol

Well, Aussie punters - time for us to say adios for a while. We got the important result: keeping the Liberal Party of Australia & their portfolio of lies out of government. A power-sharing parliament would've been better, but we're content to avoid the worst. 1/2 #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes25

Community Independent @erchana4mcpherson.bsky.social in Gold Coast seat McPherson has bagged a very respectable 14% first preferences for a first run, but appears to have missed making the final 2. ABC calling: LNP Retain. www.abc.net.au/news/electio... #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

With counting finished for the day, Zoe Daniel is ahead on the 2 candidate preferred by just 95 votes 😱 at 79.2% counted. But get this: The number of people in Goldstein who voted informally? 2,274! (so far) Could have made the deciding vote for their MP! 🤯 #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

Interesting Independent #AusVotes2025 races we're still keeping an eye on: - Bean - Bradfield - Calare - Flinders - Franklin - Fremantle - Goldstein - Groom - McPherson - Monash - Wannon #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes

The count in Wannon seems to have tightened, and ABC has moved it back to "Lib Ahead" (rather than "Retain" last night). They have Liberal Dan Tehan ahead by just 401 votes at present. Fingers crossed for you #AlexDyson and @voicesofwannon.bsky.social ! #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

Climate200-supported Independent Rebekha Sharkie has romped back into the SA seat of Mayo, extending her margin of over 12%. www.abc.net.au/news/electio... #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

BREAKING: Community Independent @katechaneymp.bsky.social has retained WA seat of Curtin, with Liberal just conceding. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05... #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

It seems many democracies are hogtied by poor electoral systems (first past the post, optional voting, corporate money, gerrymandering), and partisan politics and corporate interests that make it impossible to improve that system. A Nobel Prize is waiting for whoever cuts that Gordian knot.

bye Pete 👋 Half of Australia is playing this on full blast right now

KICKED: By ABC's projections, 13 seats so far have kicked the #LiesOut by replacing their Liberal or LNP MP with another representative. At least one in each state. 💪 www.abc.net.au/news/electio... #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

For confused overseas folk: Yes, the Liberal Party of Australia is the main conservative party here. It has an even more conservative faction internally, can only govern by forming a coalition with the yet more conservative Nationals party, and shares many ideologies with far-right parties. #auspol
