New figures from the ABS show monthly headline & underlying inflation have both fallen more than expected and are now both in the bottom half of the RBA target band for the first time since August 2021.
Very pleasing to see more progress today getting inflation down substantially and sustainably.

This guy was on an ESTA for a short trip to the US (essentially, a tourist) and was detained for 12 hours and deported back to Australia, for his blog posts about Gaza protests.
Don't travel to the US under this regime.

In 1918 the conservative parties introduced preferential voting to Australia to stop Labor from scoring undeserved wins in 3-cornered contests. Labor is currently 2.6% ahead in the overall primary vote & leading the primary vote in 86 of 150 seats. #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Attacks on Australia’s preferential voting system are ludicrous. We can be proud of it | Kevin Bonham
It’s been argued the election would have had a different outcome with first-past-the-post voting. I cannot overstate how unsound this assumption is

Jim Chalmers says regardless of who wins the Liberal Party’s “battle of the duds today”, they still stand for lower wages, higher taxes & Nuclear reactors.
Says Ley & Taylor should be asking their team “for forgiveness, not for their votes” after both helped destroy the LNP’s hopes at the election🔥

Was just over on Twitter for the first time in two years encouraging peeps to come over to BlueSky and saw someone posting this - a despicable fear campaign against Mary Doyle is Aston! Voters rejected this repulsive, divisive fear mongering.

#AUSPOL DRINKING GAME:
1 drink for every sitting Liberal or National MP who loses their seat.
And if none of them do, you’ll have the consolation of not beginning a national nightmare with a hangover.

Dear alternative Prime Minister Peter Dutton: Neither the ABC nor Guardian Australia is “the hate media” as you assert. This is an egregious smear/incitement. A robust liberal democracy needs a free and questioning media. By misrepresenting ABC/Guardian you expose your illiberalism.

The reason Dutton hates the ABC and The Guardian is because they call him out on his bullshit, which is literally the point of news media. Like Trump, Dutton hates anyone holding him accountable.
