Late to this, but @albomp.bsky.social’s discussion with @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social and Rory Stewart on @therestpolitics.bsky.social was very insightful. Quite how the PM stays so zen in the midst of a frantic campaign is beyond me #auspol #ausvotes25 open.spotify.com/episode/3k3T...

Calling our national broadcaster “hate media” is not a joke. Trusted media like the ABC play a vital role in our democracy and our society. We don’t need Trump-style culture wars here in Australia.

lemme put it this way: is there anyone who already thinks that welcome to countries are a problem who isn't already voting for coalition, one nation, or another minor party preferencing them? could dutton leaning into the anti-Indigenous recognition remind some voters why they don't like him?

Seeing several right-wingers circulating "results" of a news.com.au #pollshapedobject on Welcome to Country. This is simply an opt-in of people who voted on said website - readers skew massively right + opt-ins are prone to brigading and manipulation.

Trump's cratering in the polls is encouraging major institutional players to defy him, which in turn makes him weaker. Public mobilization helps here by letting those taking on Trump know they have support. On the pod, @simonwdc.bsky.social is great on this dynamic: newrepublic.com/article/1943...
