You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

The Coalition, “we are the best people to govern the country!”

Also the coalition, “we are unable to govern ourselves.”

@margaretmorgan.bsky.social I saw Pokey LaFarge last night and thought of you because one of his songs is “Rotterdam”. He’s actually in Rotterdam on 6 July. Highly Recommended!

Dutton will ALWAYS be the racist who walked out on the apology,the jerk who denied a toddler in detention critical medical care, the bigot who fabricates divisive fake Culture wars for cheap political points and the bastard who fuelled racism to sabotage an Indigenous Voice to Parliament

Hey Dutton, we haven’t forgotten your attacks on Welcome to Country ceremonies. Don’t treat Australians like fools. You walked out on the apology, and destroyed a generation worth of reconciliation with your No campaign based on cruel lies. This is your legacy. You can’t undo it now.

Compare an electoral system with compulsory voting and the obligation of the national electoral body to ensure that everyone can in fact vote with...

...A country where authorities deliberately make it hard--or impossible--to vote.

Australia -v- US. No contest.

I just completed my vote via the phone service for legally blind and blind people.

Glad I did, I had an inaccurate senate form, they talked me through the list again, now I’m confident my vote was entered correctly.

Great work by the AEC.

Their team is mostly made up of 25 year old meme makers, Scotty's leftovers and totally unfit for purpose, US style culture wars bait

The Liberal party are a sad, empty vessel of noise, nastiness and delusions led by a sub-intellect multi-millionaire property developer conning the little people
Question being why is campaign, whoever they are, allowing him to shoot from the hip like this. It's been nothing but lies, tear down, destroy, vilify since the beginning of the campaign.

Also, I do not give a flying f*ck about whether leaders like each other, what they are like away from politics, whether they are cranky or likable or funny or remember your birthday.
What. Do. They. Do. With. Power.
That is what matters.

Liberal Party sources reveal Albanese Govt upset Canberra contractors by rehiring them as public servants instead:

"They loved their life as contractors. ... They were paid more."

No kidding. Just reinforces @australiainstitute.org.au research that public servants are better value.

Dan Tehan is also preferencing weirdo family first in Wannon. Awful.
Who wants Trumpian policies in Oz?
Liberals are putting Family First 2nd on their Senate how-to-vote.

Family First will:

– Allow religious schools to fire gay teachers
– Deny women reproductive healthcare options
– Strip rights from gender diverse people

What are the Liberals doing?

Unfortunately for Thug, millions of us have crystal clear memories and can see through this ‘politically convenient’ family man PR shtick

Where were your paternal instincts when you tried to prevent a toddler from receiving critical medical care and then vilified her family?

The Coalition has fixed its women problem by replacing Ben Britton, who says women can’t be soldiers, with Nathaniel Smith, who says abortion should remain in the Crimes Act. Much better. #AusVotes25

Someone with authority makes the decision to ALLOW their building to be inaccessible to people with disabilities. Or they make the decision to ensure their building IS accessible to people with disabilities. Fact. How the mainstream news media reports this truth matters. #auspol #disabilities

There are multiple things Peter Dutton does not understand about people being able to work from home. He has obviously not had to get on packed public transport or roads at peak times when EVERYONE has to travel. Peak hour costs EVERYONE time, money & stress. #insiders

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?
