It’s great to see more local councils across Australia introducing 24/7 cat containment to reduce the number of pet cats roaming the streets. Cats kept securely contained indoors or in a run live much longer and healthier lives, and it helps protect our native wildlife @euanritchie.bsky.social

Excellent analysis by Green on Labor voters habits in last election strategically voting in seats where independents have the better option of winning, thus giving their 1st preference to the independent

The receipts? Well that’s in the higher senate vote recorded in certain electorates

Delivering on an election promise by handing over my 2008-2025 election night tie to the Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House, Canberra. When I paid $20 for it in 2008, never thought it would end up in a museum.

NetZero, climate, energy and environment are important issues.
Conservatives have no clear plans or policies.

Liberals are a shambles.

They continue to implode.

Ukraine has been elected to the UNESCO Executive Board for 2025–2029 with the highest vote count. Alongside Romania and Moldova, Ukraine outpaced Russia, marking the second time in a row Moscow failed to win a seat. Another diplomatic defeat for the Kremlin.

Gambling reform is wanted by Australians. Independent MP Andrew Wilkie has called on the PM to allow a free vote on the issue. Yet the Govt seems to be stopping Labor MPs from even speaking on the issue. Excellent report by ABC's Steve Cannane. #auspol #gambling www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
Fear rules on gambling in Albanese government
Andrew Wilkie has asked the PM to allow a free vote on banning gambling advertising and it appears many Labor MPs would support it.

Graham Richardson (1949-2025) has died. PM Albo's statement praises him in glowing terms, barely mentioning his grubby deals, saying Richo was "colourful" and "controversial." I'd say Richo was a "power-broker" who served the powerful, wealthy & himself, not the Australian people. #auspol
