According to Political Compass' test, I score just a fraction to the right of Ghandi... but I'm a little more of a libertarian!

Mathew the gaslighter. Gaslighting again. He'd make Woodside rich. No wonder they need the north west shelf!

On preferential voting: "It seems nonsensical to abandon a system designed to elect a winner representing majority support in an electoral district, for a system that would produce minority winners from an ever declining level of major party support." antonygreen.com.au/fed2025-four...

Finally the Senate seats are decided. And we have 10 independents. That's nearly as big a group as Greens' 11 seats. Yes, they're a diverse mob so it's most unlikely but still, they hold enough seats that they could join ALP to pass legislation. Who will take the President's job? Sue Lines again?

Apparently I should just accept Oracle Toohey's proclamations and stop being so bloody vehement.

Indeed, if you listen carefully to Albo, he has mentioned recognising Palestine sooner than later. There are all kinds of flow on effects which could come from that. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi...

TACO Thursday

Good morning.

On the one hand, such mockery is well earned. On the other, it could very well drive him completely insane, and he still controls the nuclear button.

The best thing the Labor government can do to look after Australians is to #RaiseTheRate of #JobSeeker. That they think any JobSeeker can celebrate poverty, destitution, entrenching disadvantage, exploitative work and abuse as good is delusional. No. I am not a happy Aussie at all. #auspol

It’s bigger than they thought so have to do a skin graft. Booked in, in a few weeks. Get your skin checked people.

These are the kind of deceitful and threatening letters that were being dropped in people’s letterboxes in Goldstein if they dared to have a Zoe Daniel sign up in their front yard. The family who found this disgusting letter in their letterbox, are Jewish themselves. #abc730 😔

People are pissed at the gas decision today. I get that and understand. That's fair. But it isn't what interests me around this. My interest is that Tanya was stopped pre-election from making a decision. Now Albo has had Watt take the fall. Seems to me that Albo was protecting Tanya after all.

Seems that Musk can stop farting around, face reality and drop the "Space" part of the name. Just call the thing an X-Rocket.

I can vouch for this. Coming up to retirement I joined a community group volunteering to do stuff I enjoy just because. Best. Move. Ever.

*sigh* SIX more years of putting up with Jacquie Lambie. I could have done without that news. Still, could have been worse. Could have been Hanson's girl. No thanks, glad we were spared that one.

Wow. Tesla sales in Europe halved. I’ve never seen such a self inflicted wound to a brand.

Extra marks to Larissa Waters for wearing watermelon earrings on Afternoon Briefing today. Nice touch.

It's official, I won't be serving in the Senate in the 48th Parliament. On the up side, I'll have a life, although I won't be walking away from causing public interest trouble. Thank you to those who supported me and my campaign. #auspol

I do hope PM Albanese took the time to thank the Sikh Volunteers from Melbourne who are providing free hot meals to those who need one (including other volunteers) in Taree. These Sikh Volunteers provide an essential service + are always there to help others. #SikhVolunteers #auspol

Tim Wilson should have as prominent role in the Liberal Party as possible going forward. You should build your whole brand around his self-effacing personality and demonstrably humble selflessness. Magnetic. MAGNETIC. #4corners
