Well, Aussie punters - time for us to say adios for a while. We got the important result: keeping the Liberal Party of Australia & their portfolio of lies out of government. A power-sharing parliament would've been better, but we're content to avoid the worst. 1/2 #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes25

With counting finished for the day, Zoe Daniel is ahead on the 2 candidate preferred by just 95 votes 😱 at 79.2% counted. But get this: The number of people in Goldstein who voted informally? 2,274! (so far) Could have made the deciding vote for their MP! 🤯 #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

The count in Wannon seems to have tightened, and ABC has moved it back to "Lib Ahead" (rather than "Retain" last night). They have Liberal Dan Tehan ahead by just 401 votes at present. Fingers crossed for you #AlexDyson and @voicesofwannon.bsky.social ! #LiesOut #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2025

It seems many democracies are hogtied by poor electoral systems (first past the post, optional voting, corporate money, gerrymandering), and partisan politics and corporate interests that make it impossible to improve that system. A Nobel Prize is waiting for whoever cuts that Gordian knot.
