I wish all Australia had some way to give Antony Green a group standing ovation at the end of tonight. Regardless of our political stripe, the man's whole career has been devoted to 🇦🇺 democracy
#AntonyGreenStandingOvation or similar really should trend on all media. This legend deserves it

Voted today in 🇦🇺 fed election, 1st time as 🇦🇺 citizen (expat from 🇺🇸)
Small town, pre-poll
Yet *right there* stood Marisa Bell, Labor MP candidate, and Charlotte Walker, a Senate candidate
Great chat
Pic taken by a Green volunteer ❤️
*All* unimaginable in 🇺🇸
Aussies, realise what you have

Holy crap, this is real. Also, funny. Also, incredibly dangerous
AI is honestly going to get us all killed someday, then tell the next species that evolves in a few million years that it was our own fault
It will be correct

🇦🇺 election soon. As a new citizen, I’m actually *excited* to vote for the first time on a little green paper and a huge white paper, ranking my choices 1-6 and 1-12. So cool.
The languages on offer say a lot for this island of misfit toys, mostly struggling together and well. Grateful 🇦🇺

Labor PM Albo scores a big win from an audience of undecideds in tonight's #leadersdebate despite it being held by Murdoch's deeply biased Sky News. Lib leader Dutton was given more time to speak with no fact-checking but still lost handily

Stayed up in 🇦🇺 tonight to watch #WallStreet open on CNBC. Hadn't watched in years. The whole gang look / sound like drunks watching football now

Things I don't see discussed enough:
—Trump has *already* *permanently* destroyed US cred as a place to invest or build. End of overseas companies building in US, massive loss
—If tariffs stay, US businesses fail, loans and mortgages go unpaid, banks start to fail
—Major chaos likely. *Already*
