Just caught this ad. @elliesmith4dickson.bsky.social is right. This is a battle between the DEEP POCKETS of Dutton’s mining mates, and the T-SHIRTS of Ellie’s volunteers. She needs 200-300 new shirts for new volunteers who’ll have 30,000 extra voter convos by polling day. Winning it vote-by-vote

YouGov MPR underselling indie/minor party chances in a few seats (eg Bradfield) - it doesn't account for circumstances on the ground. But if these really are the numbers after the election, Labor needs to rethink its entire strategy. Being a centrist small target ain't fuckin working.

Looks like Peter Dutton has some explaining to do, but will anyone in the media ask him to explain? Have they even bothered to investigate the relationship between yesterday’s heckler & the Opposition leader?🙄

I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist". Eh?

submitted 12 days ago • 64 comments

Buttrose wants us to believe she: 🫥wasn't aware Lattouf was Lebanese 🫥didn't care if L was removed, despite forwarding complaints on/informing complainants when she was/enjoying the congratulations 🫥only suggested L come down with Covid as a "face-saving suggestion"... for L?

Is Ita trying to pretend that after dozens and dozens and dozens of the exact same complaint - after all her decades in the media - she had no idea, zero, none, nix, that this was part of a coordinated campaign? Didn't think that for a second? Oh honey, no

#Breaking Production Tax Credits Bill has passed the Senate! That is a huge win! Congratulations to all involved, including the Smart Energy Council played a critical role in the development of Future Made in Australia. Passed the Senate 34 to 28, with the LNP voting against it. #auspol #AusVotes25

Nikki Savva knows how politicians think, especially the Liberal party versions. She absolutely destroys #temuTrump Peter Dutton here and rightfully takes aim at our local media for the lack of scrutiny on the bloke. Fantastic column.

I am often accused of being too emotional when reporting on politics - but I would rather have a human emotional response than pretend this is just 'reshaping US policy in the Middle East'. It's ethnic cleansing and the end of the rule of law. And the Australian government has said nothing

#PeterDutton “has no idea what he is talking about” when it comes to his _own_ energy “plan”. the LOTO’s claims show a “complete misunderstanding” of his unclear #nuclear policy — a policy that will drive up bills. read @dylanjmcconnell.bsky.social’s critique. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Straight from the horses mouth. #MichaeliaCash . “Trump a man of action & same attitude under #Dutton govt.” Well if that doesn’t wake up & scare the living daylights out of you, the voting public , nothing will. Dutt’s role model a child rapist. Vote Dutton for Trump values.

Dutton is a laughable throwback. Bashing unions, demonising public servants, lionising Howard. Yawn. He knows full well that apart from repairing debased frontline services, many of the new public servants replaced expensive conflicted consultants getting rich on the public purse. #insiders
