From a Queenslander: “Ali France, all through the personal tragedy, on a prosthetic leg, has walked every street and business for 3 elections. She deserves to win.” So deeply ecstatic to see the man who chose division and harm at every turn get beaten 🤞 by this amazing woman. #auspol #Ausvotes

This is absolutely happening across the country. Polling stations in marginal seats are being swamped by “Liberal volunteers” who are members of the Exclusive Brethren cult. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Sally McManus says she “started laughing” when hearing LNP refer to cutting of student debt as “elitist” “Because I just thought this comes from the people who, most of them went to elite schools themselves & send their kids to elite private schools” “I just think it’s insulting”💥

Why the fuck is @sunriseon7.bsky.social giving Jacob Hersant, a neo-Nazi with the NSN, an interview?? After he booed the welcome to country at the Anzac dawn service? It’s 2025 my dudes- WE KNOW WHO THESE FREAKS ARE AND YOU ARE PLATFORMING THEM??? I’m on the other side of the world and I know!

So after letting me know weeks ago they’re investigating my hacked account @strangerous.bsky.social, BlueSky is still yet to let me know if they’ve actually done anything, I’m still being contacted about things hacker is doing with account. Should I give up? @support.bsky.team ? Anyone home?😔

“In Wannon, if today you donate $1,500 to Liberal MP Dan Tehan, your donation is tax deductible. If today you donate the same to independent opponent Alex Dyson, it is not. Dan has a copy of the electoral roll; Alex has to pay tens of thousands for the same info.” @simonahac.bsky.social at #npc

That time when a lot of rare scarlet-chested parrots showed up at Gluepot and the normally sleepy reserve became like Grand Central Station as birders from all over descended to see them 😆 These turned out to be remarkably confiding. A joyful experience to see (at last!).

Getting towards the end of the breeding season, and this pair is on their 5th nest(5 * 3 eggs), for no luck yet. Hopefully this time lucky. If eggs hatch after 28 days incubation, then it's another 5 weeks until they can fly. Foxes got previous attempts, fingers and toes crossed.

Australian voters, Coles and Woolworths have joined forces with Kmart and Costco to publicly support the ARA's application to the Fair Work Commission to scrap overtime, evening and weekend penalty rates, and work breaks. If this goes through it will be used as a precedent everywhere. #AusVotes2025

Hooded Plover nest found on the Bass Coast, Vic. Aust., yesterday. The weirdest looking clutch I have ever seen from this species. Very atypical #ausbirds

Female Eastern Koel (Eudynamys orientalis), Toowong, Brisbane. I must admit that I find the female's plumage/colours more interesting and striking than the satiny black males. #birds #ausbirds #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #Photography #Australia
