And here’s my cake from the previous parliament (after the 2022 election) for comparison. The orange Smarties here are independents or other. /4

Women will hold 112 of the 226 seats. Just one more seat will tip us over into parity. So here is more cake data! 🎂📊 This is Australia’s 48th Parliament by gender, chamber and party. The left side is women, the right side is men. Pink icing for the Senate, green for the Reps. /2

If you aren’t sufficiently grossed out by Sour Blueberry Twisties, consider washing them down with some Pokemon Sparkling Water - Sea Salt Cheese Flavour for a real taste sensation!

Today in Weird Food Adventures - Sour Blueberry Twisties. The verdict: The worst of the weird Twisties flavours so far. Unappetising colour. Unappealing flavour combination. Not a fan.

If it’s so easy, why not quit the ALP and run as an independent?
Because it isn’t easy at all. It’s actually really difficult to get elected and to work as an independent without all the resources of a political party behind you.

Thanks Blair! To clarify, that cake shows the parliament after the 2022 election, but I’ll be making one for the new parliament as soon as the results are finalised! In the meantime, here’s the House of Reps chamber before election day and at about 10:30pm on election night, with 13 seats undecided:

Based on the candidates currently ahead, we’re on track for a huge increase in the percentage of women in the House of Reps in the 48th Parliament. Currently women are ahead in 70 of 150 seats, which would mean 46.7% women, up from 38.4% after the last election. #insiders #auspol
