“fantastic” , “well done Simon”.

BlueSky need a sustainable funding model otherwise it is vulnerable to acquisition or poor user experience.

I would be happy to pay a subscription fee, and am not totally against some advertising.

Canberra, Australia, coming from the bin fire that is Twitter

I am assuming One Nation and probably Advance Australia will be organising/funding this, no doubt with donations from the Oil and Gas industry. Cookers hate big corporates unless they are multinational mining companies paying $0 tax in Australia. The usual useful idiots will attend I suspect.

Personally I would like to see more independents like the Teals and Pocock and a hung parliament where policy needs to be negotiated amongst adults.

You may well be right. I think the ALP's biggest asset going into the election is Dutton, but they cannot rely on that. I admit I blame the greens for a lot, they need to move from being activists and try to get policy implemented. Perfect is the enemy of good.

Ok ALP, focus is now on winning the next election. Australian’s clearly don’t get stable mature government. You cannot implement policy from opposition. Laser focus on what matters to the people who would even consider going back to the LNP Omnishambles. Promise free V8s, or whatever it takes.

This is a lie, but the pro LNP media will parrot the lie, and research shows that if you repeat a lie often enough people start to believe it.

Unfortunately most voters only focus on things that directly impact on them. Labor needs to have a laser like focus on cost or living (which is basically a cost of housing crisis) with practical measures to blunt the expected LNP line that interest rates will be lower under the LNP.

The ALP somehow need get control of the narrative by only talking about things that matter to voters in contested suburban and city adjacent regional seats. This week's announcement on social media bans on under 16s is not of interest to most swing voters.

A bit like the cookers shouting at a lake in Canberra.
