My favourite seat result is #CalareVotes. Andrew Gee resigned from the Nats to support The Voice. Calare voted no 72-28, and elected Gee anyway.

Here’s what else Gee is famous for amp.abc.net.au/article/1009...

So proud of Suzie Holt in #GroomVotes. She stood twice, turning Coalition’s 2nd safest seat marginal - 20.48% margin now 5.14% per cent.

I learned to volunteer - manned the rural Biddeston booth all day then scrutineered.

The best community indie performance in Qld!

The signal scandal coincides with Trump’s fear he could lose a deep red Florida race to replace Waltz in Congress and even Elise Stephanik’s New York seat.

Zeitgeist shift?

#SaveBulgaForest veteran @bulga99.bsky.social - 10 month conditional release order, no conviction, for locking on.

She told Mg Hawkins she tried to stop NSW Forestry committing a crime by refusing to find endangered greater gliders where they logged.
With Mitra Ellis & Marg McClean - small fines.

Still can’t get my head around why so many bright people - world leaders, experts, journos, haven’t fled Twitter for here once Trump won. Are some fearful of Musk retribution? So many placeholders - please make the move to a user controlled world public square…

Mafia President extort’s law firm - $40 million pro bono work for Trump Admin and work practice and client selection changes to withdraw crippling Executive Order.

Corruption as public policy.

Same day, this from Tesla, unsigned, protesting Trump’s tariffs.l. Big test of Trump’s marketing skills to his base. Still, as the price is right - $100 million to his political machine - worth a crack.

Europe’s peak body published its agenda today. Fascinating detail - looks like it’s serious about becoming a foil to Trump in the epic battle to save democracy and liberalism. Unfortunately I can’t find EC President Antonia Costa here yet.

So glad we’re standing with Ukraine!
