How in the rat-flogging fuck do we live in a country where people are right now blaming the women who put their kids into childcare instead of blaming the men who allegedly molested the kids while they were at childcare?

Magda Szubanski has announced she has cancer and because she doesn't share their extreme right-wing views, the Daily Mail has chosen to publish the most vile imaginable comments about her. They are pieces of shit, but you already knew that.

So Sussan Ley becomes Liberal leader by a 4 vote margin, relying on the votes of 3 Liberals who will no longer be in the Senate after the end of June. There will also be a new Liberal Senator who is aligned to Angus Taylor once the new term begins. Watch this space 👀 #auspol #ausvotes

Given the size of the Labor ministry/outer ministry - it looks like everyone in the Coalition is about to get a shadow portfolio - there is barely enough of them to cover it

… seats is because people who had already voted them in as representatives or preferenced them to be so (remember, Adam relied on Liberal preferences to win Melbourne in the first place) made a decision they did not want to be represented by them anymore. That was due to a number of factors…

Oh my god - the Advance campaign was NOT the reason that the Greens lost their seats. For a start, crazy rightwingers don’t know how to speak to left leaning people in a way that flips their vote, don’t be ridiculous. The proof is the national greens vote did not drop. The reason greens lost… 🧵

Remember Jacinta Price was handed a guaranteed CLP NT senate seat as she’s so unpopular there, she can’t win a House of Representatives seat!
She may have a small cheer squad in Alice Springs, but in the NT overall, she’s massively unpopular.

I am sick to the teeth of the continual political shit in Australian football. Everyone has an angle, everyone has an agenda. Everyone is trying to use the game for their own good.
I put up with this crap for 48 years as a journalist.
