if this election has shown that the Sky News/Murdoch papers/7, 9, 10 TV/2GB/3AW 'side' have 'lost' ... what do we do from here?

OK, we've all been watching the House electorates, but the count in the Senate rn is something else. Early days yet, Senate counts can do funny things, but NSW, SA, VIC, WA are all breaking 4/2 left/right as I type, with left being 3-1 ALP/Green (the 4th and still-in-doubt being ALP in each case)

What I hope Antony's legacy is, is that the ABC continues to have a real psephologist as its analyst well into the future. On other networks and in other countries the analysts often work off-screen passing data to the hosts. Let's hope we continue to have real experts on air explaining how it works

Anyway I think we can all agree the clear lesson is Dutton was simply too woke to keep his seat

Yeah look I’m not drunk enough to fall down this rabbit hole.

Antony Green says this election shows that the Lib's argument to move further to the right - to win over One Nation voters - is a huge mistake, as it means they'll lose votes in suburban and traditional Liberal seats. They need to acknowledge the reality - and move to the centre. #AusPol #AusVotes

Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, Dutton’s seat all no longer held by Libs. Amazing.

Drive it like you stole it, stop fucking around, deal with climate change, poverty, and deal with inequality to pay for it. Deal with industry transition, deal with education costs, accept that large investments in ourselves today pay for more than themselves in the future. And dental in Medicare

Not only is he going out of his way to strengthen the European far right, that claim about the Berlin Wall is beyond absurd. This is a broad strategic alignment away from the liberal democracies toward the global right.

Observations from one single polling place. Both One Nation and Arsehats of Patriots substantially out polled Greens for Senate first preference. Cock & balls level seemed to be up noticeably this election. Australians still overwhelmingly vote in good spirits.

Canada walked so Australia could Nutbush

You've got a mandate, fucking use it

good speech(writers) Albo

Kooyong - 60% of votes counted (AEC Website) Independent Monique Ryan winning seat with (projected) 55.8% 2PP, miles ahead of Liberal Amelia Hamer, with 44.2% A further swing 3.3% Ryan's way since 2022 election. Great to see 🥂🥳🤸💜😎 #Auspol #Ausvotes

Fucking chicken guts everywhere

the potato is roasted! Mashed!

We'll be naming scholarships and statues for Ali France if this holds.

A Labor majority plus a bad result for the Greens = a seriously bad outcome for climate / environment #ausvotes25

Screen issue - DRINK

ABC cleverly giving their best journalist a seat on the outer so her useful commentary doesn’t interrupt the vibe

James McGrath on the ABC panel is already doing the Panelist from a Doomed Party Stammer

The best part of election night is Antony Green being the most beautiful nerd in Australia

AAAAAAAH LOOK AT ALL THESE LADS this makes me so happy TOAST

if you see this, post your getaway vehicle

we're spoilt in australia for choice! right now, you can choose between the election coverage of two stefanovic brothers

apropos of Australian federal election day, the highest "how to vote…" search of the past 24hrs is "how to vote greens" 🟩 , just above "how to vote liberal" 🟦 https://bit.ly/3EMhL3o

How repulsive would you need to be to do something like this?

Anyone in Australia trying to understand Nigel Farage just needs to look at Auspol history - Billy Hughes was an early prototype of that sort of politician. And they survive a lot longer than you think

saw a woman wearing a tshirt that had medusa on it and said “the female gaze” and i snorted (i havent been getting out much)

Here are some actionable suggestions if publishers want to actually help Black and Brown writers (rather than some publicity stunt that helps one or two people, gives a pat on the head to the publisher, and does nothing for anybody else). 1. Actively hire more Black and Brown people in publishing.

A head's up, I just took this survey and it's clearly designed to elicit positive responses. The questions are all framed toward AI being a good thing. There's very little room for opposition. It isn't a neutral survey but one designed to push the grift.

This is mass murder and most Western governments are complicit

#Macnamara folks, you’ve probably received mail from our Labor MP, the one who is preferencing cockheads above the Greens. The pitch seems to be “play it safe” to ensure the Liberal doesn’t win. Horse shit. Macnamara will be Greens or Labor. This is our opportunity to create change. #AusPol

Just got warned that the new "Voice Isolation" feature in Teams, if turned on and trained on a male voice, will filter out all the women in the room, while still allowing the men in the room to be heard online. *clears throat* IF YOU USE A BIASED TRAINING SET, YOUR TECHNOLOGY WILL BE BIASED.
