Zoe Daniel has requested a recount in Goldstein - as is any candidate’s right. The AEC will determined if she is entitled to one. Meanwhile, her opponent, Tim Wilson, remains the smug, graceless chud he has always been. #auspol

I don’t think any journalist I’ve seen or heard so far has come close to explaining just how much pain the Coalition is in if their fear campaigns and culture wars are no longer viable, thanks to Trump. Let me spell it out for you really simply: the Lib Nats have NOTHING ELSE to offer.

Holy fuck, they have jumped the fucking shark. Denmark is an EU country and EU countries *also have nuclear weapons*. This only escalates in one direction, you ridiculous and dangerous dipshit.
Fox News normalising America taking over Greenland 😱

"If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland, we're big boys"

"We dropped a-bombs on Japan and now they're our top ally in the Pacific"

There’s a strange breed of “progressives” in Australia who hate Labor for unconscious classist reasons, and who live in notionally safe Liberal or National seats but won’t back their local Labor candidate so instead bash Labor and become obsessed with a messiah “independent”. It’s totally a thing.

Elon Musk - the richest man in the world and in control on the US government - trying to play for sympathy by characterising himself as a victim, is the perfect example of how the right never take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions, and just blame the left for everything.
People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter.

People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government.

And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

Toxic masculinity influencer, Andrew Tate & his brother had to return to Romania for a court appearance re sex trafficking & rape

Bec according to Tate, “innocent men don’t run from anything”🙄

He got 3 things wrong. He’s not innocent, he’s not a man & he runs from danger like a squawking chicken.

‘Female voters are "coming back" to the Coalition, according to internal Lib Party polling’

🙄

“Lib internal polling” says it all.

The lack of self-reflection is astounding.

The Liberals have absolutely NO clue how much damage they hve done to women.

Internal polling shows female voters 'coming back' to Coalition
Female Liberal MPs have told the ABC they believe Peter Dutton is more palatable to women than Scott Morrison, with internal polling showing the women's vote lifting.

I've challenged Angus Taylor to at least 3 economic debates.

He's had 3 years and still no costed, credible or coherent policies – just lower wages, longer lunches, and secret cuts to pay for nuclear.

If he wants to be taken seriously, he should accept this challenge today.

We are educated, we do not fawn over personalities, we have a compulsory voting system, and we are pissed off. I am not anti-semitic if I call out Israel’s genocide. I will not be swayed by empty promises. I want ALL to be looked after.

I have IBS. Moderate to severe. Doc asks me if I've been diagnosed, but because I diagnosed myself, AND suffer the right symptoms, he won't list it as one of my problems.
He's a nice fellow but this brings back my low opinion of docs.
Shit, except for the cardiac condition, I'll look after myself.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.
