We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

Melbourne's population is projected to exceed 9 million by 2050 and this bloke, who wants to be the leader of our state, is still complaining that there's too many bike lanes in the city. Do better.

Our hot take: this looks like a big, very welcome boost for train services, adding capacity and cutting waiting times, especially for the Sandringham, Craigieburn and Upfield lines, but also others. A big step forward.🚉👍 www.premier.vic.gov....

Increased VLine capacity and frequency - though details are very sparse. One or two extra trains here and there, some 6 car sets in place of 3 car sets. Long awaited new timetable for Gippsland "with further information on timing for the new services to come" www.premier.vic.gov.au/public-trans...

Oh my god - the Advance campaign was NOT the reason that the Greens lost their seats. For a start, crazy rightwingers don’t know how to speak to left leaning people in a way that flips their vote, don’t be ridiculous. The proof is the national greens vote did not drop. The reason greens lost… 🧵

Line of limos blocking bike lanes beside a hotel in Montreal. “The bike lane replaced parking. What do you expect?” Park around the corner in front of the hotel, on the street behind, or use one of the three parking garages signed in this photo. Figure it out. Don’t park in the bike lane!

This is horeshit from Adam about preferences. Was MORE than happy to take preferences from Liberals and Palmer people to get himself and other Greens elected in state and federal competitions. Were was your concern for Liberals backing that Greens weirdo in Queensland over Jackie Trad, Adam? #auspol

3 minutes 39 seconds to cross the road. Of course the car across the line got to clear the intersection before there was an active transport green light. Why do we have such car brain? Sneydes Rd and Hoppers Lane Hoppers Crossing

#BREAKING 🚨 Liberal MP Keith Wolahan has conceded defeat in the Victorian seat of Menzies, with Labor candidate Gabriel Ng projected to win with 50.6% of the two-party-preferred vote This is the first time Labor has won Menzies since the seat was created in 1984

Holy fuck, the Greens have learned nothing. Nothing. Not a single word of self-reflection in Bandt’s concession. No admission of fault. Blaming boundary changes. Inventing fantasy “purple” people who somehow stole greens votes from them at nighttime. Oh man. #auspol

Adam Bandt not taking questions from journalists is a solid indication there will be no interrogation of any of the Greens decisions that led them here. Just external blame and invented purple people, my god. #auspol

“With #Melbourne expected to reach the size of London by the 2050s” - they love to reference London when arguing for SRL, but meanwhile woefully underuse infrastructure and fleets we already have. Wait times of 30-60 minutes wouldn’t cut it in London, and don’t here either. www.premier.vic.gov....

The only thing you need to remember perusing Bolt's latest garbage is the context that News Corp is terrified a more moderate Liberal Party (and therefore Australian polity generally) will threaten its business model of appeals to fear, hate and division. They NEED extremism.

#BREAKING 🚨 6 News projects Greens leader Adam Bandt will be defeated by Labor candidate Sarah Witty in Melbourne Labor, currently sitting on 52.7% of the two-candidate-preferred vote, reclaims the seat won by Bandt in 2010

Forgive me if I’m amused that those greens who did everything to keep Labor out of power are now demanding that Labor pick up their causes now their own party has collapsed. That’s not how the democratic contract works, love. That’s not how maths works. #auspol

Now that Australia is locked into having @australianlabor.bsky.social for the next 3 years and probably beyond without the @greens.org.au able to interfere it’ll be nice to finally get some action on climate change. Future Australia will end the Greens good riddance I say! #Auspol #Election2025

Trams are cheaper, ride much better and carry more people than buses and when you give trams priority they’re pure magic. Buses are great but imo they have a limited scope they’re really good at filling in blanks however wherever possible trams should be preferred. youtu.be/bNTg9EX7MLw?...
