If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.

I 100% endorse this message. The spoiled votes are a 3rd or 4th order story in this election and disproportionate attention and airtime is a measure of the level of editorial discomfort with talking about Connolly’s success and FF/FG failure.
Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.
