I use it at least once a day

Shoe leather?

We’ve always had two party preferred. The two that poll the most votes get the distributed preferences of the rest. This can be independents or minor parties though. Getting more so these days as people are sick of the 2 majors

"I hate Mar-a-Lago Nazis."

If I could edit this, I’d clarify to say our remote communities have physical polling stations

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

Iranian Muslims revere Jesus more than American Christians.

Trump might actually have achieved something

Iran president: 'His Holiness Pope Louis XIV, I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.'

There’s something about having free public transport in Melbourne at the moment that’s a real vibe that I can’t quite explain. Yes it’s packed as fuck, but it’s like a glimpse of what life could be like if we had this all the time

Never have I been happier to live in a country that has ok health care, fuck-all guns, a pretty good standard of education, the best coffee, and a reasonable level of tolerance for all as long as you’re not a shit cunt. Australia isn’t perfect but at least we’re not the US

Sitting out on my balcony in East Brunswick, listening to one of my neighbours singing in Arabic. Fuck I love Melbourne!

Our elections are an opportunity for community fundraising through sausage sizzles and bake sales. We have extensive pre-poll voting and mail in with no restrictions. We have some of the most remote communities on Earth and you can still show up to vote

Absolutely! I hear all these pathetic excuses like “farmers couldn’t vote on the weekend in 1882”. It’s nonsensical these days and purely designed to suppress the vote of hard working people

The President of the United States posted this.
That he will continue in office affirms that we are unfit to govern ourselves and our American experiment has failed.
Too many of us are too stupid, cowardly and damaged to be citizens of a republic, let alone our elected representatives.

Fuck this makes me happy to be an Australian. While we have our issues of course, I firmly believe our mandatory voting system makes us a stronger democracy. Our elections are on the weekend and you don’t actually have to vote, just at least show up. We also have an independent electoral commission

Fuck who would have ever thought that we’d all be rooting for Iran.
Nice one Trump, you dumb cunt

Tonight I went to see Sam Jay at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. She has HBO specials and is a writer for Saturday Night Live. She actually commented on how safe she feels here as opposed to the US

My home is Tasmania but I work in Melbourne. I love this city so much. After years of raising children I’m now free to live my best life in this magnificent city. It really is one of the best in the world. Vibrant, exciting and safe, despite what Murdoch trash and shock jocks would have you believe

Ditto. Many private schools have so much spare cash they can afford to blow thousands on television ads… while state schools are being left with inadequate funding for necessities.

I highly recommend going to see Sam Jay’s We the People at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

I loved it! It’s one of my favourite sci fi books from the last few years and thought it was unfilmable. The movie exceeded my expectations. Yes it was missing some of the hard concepts of the book, but that’s why film is a different medium

I saw an ad for a private school on SBS the other day and it made my blood boil. Our taxes paid for that

Name Four Non-Person Things That Make Your Life Livable:

1) Greyhounds

2) Comics

3) Novels

4) David Bowie albums

While I love my Greyhound with all my heart I think my next dog might be a chihuahua. I’m obsessed with Will Trent’s Betty

Don’t feel bad about it. They could start a fire if they chew into your wires

At a Melbourne Comedy Festival gig and just got served WINE IN A CAN!!! Sorry, I just can’t with this

Watching The Pitt makes my blood boil. The richest country in the world and there are so many scenarios where people are sick or die because they can’t afford the most basic medications
