On your way to a pre-poll booth? Our Nannafesto is clear. We Nannas annoy all politicians equally. And why not? Neither of Australia’s major parties is clear about which side they’re hanging. Our advice? Make sure you vote BELOW the line in these “uncertain times”.

Pre-election day voting in my (mostly) rural electorate of Hawke is staggeringly high, saw queue of 40+ people 10.30am this morning, a Wednesday 10 days out! Never seen queues here, other than on election day. What do you think’s driving it? #Auspol #AusVotes2025

BRUTAL HEAT IN NORTH AFRICA 45.5 In Niger, 44.2 in Egypt and Chad, 44.0 in NIgeria, 43.9 in Burkina Faso,43.7 in Algeria,42.5 in Libya,etc. Next days several thousands of records will be pulverized allover from North Africa to China in every Asian country in millions of km2.

This election, I’m asking you to Vote 1 Sue Chapman, and then number all the other boxes from 2 to 8 in the order of your choosing. Your preferences are up to you! My How-To-Vote card will be available at the early voting centres and at every polling booth on election day.

I've seen a whole lot of content lately about people realising they aren't actually fat, that diet culture has just been lying to them. That's great for you all, but please remember what these declarations say to people who are actually fat.

After watching the Calder highway over Easter with bumper to bumper V8 Landcruisers & high end large pickup trucks towing huge new caravans obviously guzzling fuel I am convince there is no cost of living crisis but a wealth disparity crisis as I see pensioners & the Unemployed 🧵

❗️EXTRAORDINARY EVENT INCOMING Thousands of heat records will be pulverized allover North Africa,Middle East,Central And Southern and East Asia from Morocco to China. We are gonna witness the most record breaking event ever seen worldwide. Stay tuned.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "Their extreme wealth and privilege served only to make them obsessed with insulating themselves from the very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migration, global pandemics, nativist panic, and resource depletion."

I’m thrilled to be a part of this #worldimmunizationweek conversation hosted by Rotary. Tune in on 24 April to Rotary’s FB, LinkedIn or YouTube Channel to follow along on on.rotary.org/wiw25 #EndPolio
