I am weeping reading @alifrance.bsky.social's story. That she survived the loss of her leg, her husband and her son in separate tragedies and still has the desire to serve others is... I'm not sure there are words to describe her. The people of Dickson did good yesterday 👏👏👏 #auspol

Before 2022 on the dead bird site this was one of my most tweeted tweets. I would do it every time I saw him. I hope that I don’t need to redo this: Tim Wilson is emblematic of all that is wrong with politics in this country. #Auspol.

Seven female Labor candidates, ‘enough for an entire netball team’, have won seats in Queensland, with re-elected MP Anika Wells praising the party for ‘empowering women’

It's quite telling that there's so much debate about 'what is a woman' and almost none about what is a man. We wouldn't need to debate 'what is a woman' if the space allowed for women in society wasn't so arbitrarily and narrowly prescribed in the first place.

Dragged my hungover butt out of bed to wrap the election with cool people like @cherylkernot.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social & @instanterudite.bsky.social. Did'ya hear Dutton lost his seat? Dutton lost his seat. You can just keep sayin it. Dutton lost his seat www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIFx...

Truly great show today. Well worth your time if you missed the live stream. #SundayShot #auspol

"Thank you, Donald Trump. Australians are much better at defining who they are by identifying what they are not, rather than by making lofty statements. And they have now said unequivocally that they are not angry little Americans, cultural warriors or self-interested libertarians."

Good to see Monique Ryan prevail in Kooyong despite Amelia 'not a renter' Hamer and Greg 'bury the body in concrete' Malham. #auspol

I heard about @thetimes.com article from UK colleagues- but I was not prepared for this. A sexist dig at women, a stereotyping of orthopaedic surgeons as 'carpenters' and cardiothoracic surgeons as 'plumbers', and a final snark about transgender. Appalling. #ILookLikeASurgeon 😠

Accurate reporting by the Chaser. #auspol #AusVotes25 #LaborWins

Australians have chosen a majority Labor government, so don’t squander this respect, you fuckers #auspol

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... "The sky after dark cohort ... that's not where mainstream Australia is." #Auspol

I haven't been this happy in a long time. It's so good to see Australia reject Trumpism in such an emphatic way.😁

Canada, we’re with you! TRUMPISM IS REPUDIATED IN AUSTRALIA! #auspol

@zalisteggall.bsky.social notes that the mainstream media (like Speers) routinely refers to “the Climate200-backed teals”. But never mentions the Gina Rinehart-backed Coalition. 💥💯 #insiders #SundayShot #auspol

Whatever your politics, I think we can all agree that our electoral system is infinitely better than rotten, corrupt, toxic shambles they have in the United States.

Just after the 2022 election I said (I think it was on Insiders) if the Liberal party didn’t read the room on climate, women etc - then it was consigning itself to irrelevancy. I was pretty roundly criticised at the time. But I do know what I’m talking about and I can pick a vibe

Australia voted secure jobs over cuts and division - Bye Bye Dutton - He joins Mr Howard in being a Liberal Party leader to loose their own seat in a federal election. @australianlabor.bsky.social - Ali France wins with 8.25% swing and a margin of 10,881 votes. Congratulations Ali. #auspol

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

"Dutton advises viewers to ‘forget the ABC’ on election night" Dickhead. I'm going to listen to the @australiainstitute.org.au's coverage while keeping David Speers 𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭. on MUTE—HOWEVER, I will be unmuting the ABC WHEN ANTONY GREEN APPEARS ON THE SCREEN. It's Antony's last outing before retiring.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says Israel will "destroy Iran's nuclear reactors and enrichment facilities."

The Thug will gut the ABC if he gets in. He hates being held to account.

Dutton, hitching wagon to chaotic hate engine: How can this not work?

11 dead At least 20 injured When something so overwhelming awful happens I wonder how it would feel if it it happened in my local community Helps stop the incident becoming just numbers Real people, lots of real devastated people A whole community needing support

Another reminder that you should be strongly boycotting Melbourne Storm matches, merch and any other money-making activities they’re part of and if you’re already a member you should be cancelling it and loudly telling the club why. Thanks for the reminder @anthonyklan.bsky.social.

This is what Bluesky is for- sharing a serious academic debate that revolves around a yellow blob. I'm not joking. Read the article! 🟡🤣

“Palestinians, she writes, “live in refugee camps, where they are locked in limbo, as if suspended in space and time, as they hold on to the right of return that remains firmly denied by the Israeli state”.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...

The absolute state of federal political commentary in Australia 😵‍💫 #NoToRacism 🙅🏻‍♀️

"Under illegal Israeli occupation, Palestinians have a right to rebel. That was recognised in the Geneva Convention of 1949. "The real terrorists in Gaza are ministers in the Israeli government and leaders of the IDF." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...

Imagine being so shit as LNP Opposition leader that you lose a leaders debate vote of 60 Ch7 viewers 30-15 (15 undecided). Gina, come and get your boy. He's cooked.

Morning, Monday, 28 April from Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay, Aotearoa / New Zealand. Usually I’m on the ocean beaches in the mornings but decided to walk the Bay boardwalk today. Kia pai to rā / Have a great day.

As I vote, I am remembering that when Israel's escalation of its genocide of the people of Palestine could not be hidden, the @australianlabor.bsky.social government made it a priority to appoint a Special Envoy to Defend Apartheid Israel's Genocide of Palestinians, Zionist Jillian Segal. 🖕 #auspol
