The Australian election is a time when you need to do some research beforehand to make the best choice for you & your children now and for the future. The "Build a Ballot" website makes it easier by linking candidates for your electorate to their stated beliefs. www.buildaballot.org.au

I knew about the changes in China and I’m still totally blown away by what I’m seeing. The air is clean right in the middle of Shanghai, with a population of 29.9 million. Tens of thousands of electric scooters as well as busses, vans, taxis and cars. It’s very quiet and not stinky.

I’m in China, a very stable, friendly, clean and incredibly safe country to visit. I’ve never been more relaxed in a country where I can’t speak the language or understand signs etc. Currently I would not consider visiting the USA where I do speak the language and understand far too much.

Cathy Wilcox 🎯💥😂 as usual. But it's only too true. Had Pope Francis tried to visit the US, he could well have been detained by ICE, deported back to Rome, or even rendered to El Salvador as a national security risk. Then Trump would have produced fake pics showing Francis with gang tatts.

It's my favourite thing. Especially when they're from states with higher crime rates and they know everyone here hates them, so they use Vic as a cudgel to scare voters from NSW and QLD with. I don't know why reporters in the serious big boy papers don't just say that instead, it's much more true.

I've seen some of the latest polling (some) and as far as the general Australian electorate is concerned, Peter Dutton stinks like the fetid carcass of a 10-days-dead whale washed up on the shores of Desperation Beach. His stench of failure is everywhere. And a falling tide grounds all boats.

Dutton wants a sex offender register inspired by the UK model, where parents could raise their suspicions about 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆, including handsy Uncle Chester. Any retrospective reflections on attending Pell's funeral, Dutts? #auspol #election25

We may have overreacted to this film’s title. Turns out it’s very flattering and our PR team is saying this may be a boon to repairing penguin/human relationships. We assumed NatGeo had leaked our Signal chat info. Our official position is now: humans must be required to watch this. Ecology rocks.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Alan Kohler: "As for the Coalition's $5 billion for infrastructure, which they claim will result in 500,000 extra homes — forget it. That's $10,000 per house, a tenth of what would be needed; at a more realistic $100,000 per house, it would be 50,000 houses, one year's shortfall." #auspol #AusVotes

A sickening video targeting a crossbench woman shows just how low politics has sunk. Abuse, lies and now a metaphor for violence—while women die each week from gender-based violence. Silence from male leaders is not good enough. The women of the crossbench won’t be cowed.
