Incredible things happening for right-wing parties this year. Days after Pierre Poilievre loses his seat in Canada, so does Peter Dutton in Australia. Great work, Australia! 🫡

Glad the LNP has been outright rejected nationwide, but the election result wasn’t all good news. 😞 Sad to see Greens/independents lose much-needed influence in Parliament…

I grew up in a place where elections were neither free nor fair nor safe. Every time I have the privilege of voting in Australia, I find myself reflecting on and reveling in the marvel that is our open and inclusive democracy. Happy Democracy Day, Australia!

It’s shocking going to vote early, being sure to make an informed choice, check campaign sites, and decide how I’ll number the boxes at least a day in advance, and then overhear “I dunno who to vote for, Barb; I’ll just number the boxes randomly I guess” from the next booth. Yikes #auspol auspol 🗳️

David Tennant is a wonderful man, actor and human being. The fact people are calling him a p**o, and other awful names from so called fans of Doctor Who, should be ashamed of themselves.

Dutton’s in panic mode. He’s torn down his own billboard to attack me—because for the first time, he knows he could lose. I’m backed by thousands of supporters and hundreds of volunteers on the ground. Get involved now and keep the pressure on. https://www.elliesmith.com.au/volunteer

Oh good. Another streaming service to take a share of shows and movies. Great, I love having everything divided up like this! So much better than the awful 90s when you just walked into Video Ezy which had almost everything and rented whatever.

An an Aussie, I think our cultural reliance on “she’ll be right” can sometimes be a problem. Because sometimes she isn’t right, actually.

It wasn't an "ad hominem". I'm calling you an idiot because your argument sucks, not saying your argument sucks because you are an idiot. Subtle distinction, I know, to understand. Especially for an idiot like you.

Something I want to ditch in 2025: The irrational belief that when bad news breaks about something completely beyond my ability to influence, then it’s selfish to be living my life and otherwise be in a good mood. My leisure time isn’t being bought with someone else’s pain and suffering.

Been a while since I posted a cute Echidna, so here you go! Came across this intrepid one at Mulligan's Flat. To get the shot I put my camera up on the log and shot while hiding my face out of view. Got pretty lucky I must say! #echidna #wildoz #australianwildlife

#RecipeOfTheDay is a regular in Casa Lawson: Warm Spiced Cauliflower and Chick Pea Salad! And for all that I call it a salad – not entirely sure why I do, except that’s how I think of it – it is actually rather gorgeously hearty. (And also #vegan, btw) www.nigella.com/recipes/warm...
