Jacinta, the Price is right, said her defection to the Liberal party was also about bringing more accountability and integrity to the party. 😳 #auspol #SundayShot #insiders

Tonight, Australia voted No to ignorance & Yes to Acknowledgement; No to xenophobia & Yes to Welcomes; No to regression & Yes to progress.

Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. They’ve been thoroughly told NO.

Having learned *nothing* from the fall of Morrison, the Liberal party seem determined to learn nothing from the complete slaughter of Dutton. Let me spell it out for them: that thing you are calling “the woke left” is officially THE AUSTRALIAN CENTRE now. Heed it or weep. #auspol
Delicious to see Lord Downer and assorted NewsCorpse halfwits howling that the Liberals must now go hard right and take on the Progressive Woke Left. I couldn’t agree more…

Labor wins with a superior campaign and weak opposition – now it’s time to make the second term really matter
The Albanese government is returned for a second term with an increased majority. It’s time to make it count.

A scorching piece by @timdunlop.bsky.social looking at the dire state of the Liberal party.

"can we just admit the obvious, that the Liberal Party is in a state of collapse and shouldn’t be let anywhere near the Treasury benches."

Well worth your time.
Why can't people admit the Liberal Party is falling apart?
Not just struggling, but collapsing

And with her massive daily platform on the truly revolting SkyNews; The Australian newspaper and recent Australian Story puff piece she has completely controlled the narrative on Indigenous issues enabled by the media portraying her as some kind of saviour to Aboriginal people. Pls stop now
Jacinta Price says a lot of mud has been slung in the election campaign, reinforced by media.
So attacking Indigenous ppl 24/7 as being inherently violent; fraudulently using tax payers money ¬ able to understand their own vote-that’s not mud slinging? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

I wrote this tweet soon after the Voice referendum in 2023. I want Dutton and all his No Lib Nats to read this and I want them to know that Yes voters NEVER FORGOT AND TODAY IS OUR VENGEANCE.

This election, as well as campaigning for the arts, I’ve also been covering the race in Wannon in Victoria’s west. It’s another really interesting regional electorate, where independent Alex Dyson has a real chance against Liberal stalwart Dan Tehan www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/01/e...
Which man in a blue blazer and chinos will win Wannon?
The race for Wannon is a contrast of old and new. Far-right preferences may decide the fate of Liberal frontbencher Dan Tehan.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

It’s been quite something watching the right wing movement over a decade slide from “get big govt off my back” to “let govt do whatever they like to enrich billionaires and hurt the little guy”. From libertarianism “freedom” to authoritarian fascism in one lifetime!

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US.

It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.

The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy.
