The prospect of a leadership team of Angus Taylor and Jacinta Price almost makes me feel kindly towards Dutton and Ley. #auspol

I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

Honest appraisal that the Libs and Nats promised, is to be tumultuous. David Littleproud considers party’s campaign to be faultless. Meanwhile their heads are firmly in the sand regarding what Australians think about nuclear power. Or like Gina they will just blame voters so no change needed #auspol

Would Trump’s vision for Alcatraz pass the DOGE test?

Yes Gina, the voters are definitely to blame for the Labor victory 😂. And we will keep getting it wrong if the Coalition takes your advice and adopts Trump’s policies. You are such a piece of work. #auspol #BinNight

A couple of delightful quotes from this morning’s Insiders. “Flugelhorn of failure”, and “Bugle of bull dust”. What a miserable, narcissistic waste of money has Clive Palmer’s trumpet campaign been? Think of the positive ways that Clive could have spent his fortune. #auspol #ausvotes

The Liberal Party failed because they rested on their elitist, privileged backgrounds and forgot that Australian voters wanted genuine, thoroughly researched policies. I’d like to be a fly on the wall when they have their “honest conversations “ about the campaign. #auspol #BinNight

Great election result last night shows that Australian voters are truly awake and interested in the state of the nation and the world. Most heartening is Australia’s refusal to race to the fascist right. #auspol #elections #australia
