How is it even possible to be so bad at this?

They’ll happily condemn pro-Palestine protests but not neo-Nazi rallies. Quite telling isn’t it?

Quote reads:”Guardian Australia has been told a deliberate decision had been made not to provide neo-Nazi groups with a platform or reward them with attention at an event dedicated to improving social cohesion. But Israel's antisemitism envoy, Michal Cotler-Wunsh, did directly reference the March for Australia when questioned by reporters. She sought to compare the march to pro-Palestinian protests, and said the Australian government should have a uniform approach to banning marches that discriminate against minorities.”

Obviously it’s all meaningless without any action, but there’s no arguing that they’re running rings around Labor on optics.

Gotta hand it to them, the Libs are really running circles around Dead Winter and Labor with these publicly announced concessions to the crossbench. Labor’s press is all about their inability to negotiate, while the Libs destroy the budget but look reasonable in the news.

Is this a typo or just leaning into Tasmania’s 50% illiteracy rate? #tasmaniadevils #tassiestuff

First time I read this article the headline was far less inflammatory, but now the rhetoric has been ramped up. ABC pushing LNP talking points.

Life goes by pretty fast but sometimes that means you walk into the bookshop and a new @guygavrielkay.bsky.social book has arrived because you lost track of the time and suddenly it’s the end of May and to be honest I’ll probably blink and it’ll be Christmas.

I’ve been pondering the future #TasmaniaFC geurnsey for a little while and finally got around to mocking up a concept. I think the classic V shape has a bold presence while also being a nod to the map of #Tassie.

Brendan Blomeley seems to have conveniently forgotten that he’s only just stopped being a leading member of one of those old political parties, and as such is responsible for us having not been served well.

That’s not a green light, it’s a red flag.

I’m ok with the stadium, and the location, I think it could be a great addition to the city if it’s done well. Of course the Libs are following the playbook for large project disaster. Rushed planning, ignored advice, and destroyed public support. #politas
