Mean Streak has been shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards in the non-fiction category. Stoked, of course, but particularly because I think this episode deserves to linger in the consciousness for as long as possible.
B shocking
It was the same during COVID deaths didn’t count if there was a pre existing condition. If I remember correctly deaths were announced the lesser and the real ones.
I feel silly asking this. FaceBook folks saying Labour only won on preferences!
TallyRoom says National first preferences Turnout 90.70% Labour won
I presumed this was people’s 1st vote (First past the post) and the above statement was incorrect
Help anyone

On the Murrumbidgee it was 1852. I think is still Australia’s greatest national disaster.
Just saw Barnaby surround by old white men. Says a lot about his policy, his position and his power.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.
Our renewed call for accountability for Israel’s geocide comes as a new report shows that more than 39,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned by Israel’s mass slaughter in Gaza.
Some 17,000 children have lost both parents in Israeli attacks in Gaza.

For some on the centre/left there’s nobody on your ballot you really want to support.
Please still lodge a valid vote!
Start numbering highest from who you really don’t want to get in (LNP, PHON etc) & work backwards to 1.
Adulting can suck, I know. #Auspol
I hope he’s re-elected. A very decent man. #Auspol. 😊🤞🦋
Dutton promised to cut waste but now wants to move to Sydney's Kirribilli House if he wins. This will be significantly more expensive for taxpayers.
When challenged by the media he said he would work from home some days a week to cut down on travel costs.😳 #auspol #qanda #abc730
Other than WFH issue what is the extra cost of flying to and from Sydney. In the times of #costofliving does this pass the #pubtest ?

Not sure the way to fend off Criticism of being a property investor is to decide to live in Kirribilli House because of the harbour views…
Still, nice to be able to work from home I guess.
Are these people still safe from a Dutton government?
@albomp.bsky.social good morning Mr Albanese. Any chance you could fly over the QLD floods and acknowledge those people. I know the majority don’t vote for you but remember you are their PM and “no one left behind”
Take care
Hi Greg, could you clarity this please. If the Coalition reduces the fuel exercise for ??? months does that automatically see a drop in prices at the bowser or it is up to the individual businesses?
Apropos of Ms Ferguson's #4Corners report, be reminded that the first large for-profit child care chain in Australia was the now-defunct ABC Learning, started in Brisbane in 1988. It expanded rapidly thanks to increasing Howard government subsidies, partly supported by deals with Dutton...
or is rebuilding with TAFE by providing fee-free TAFE, more funding & job security
Dutton’s Coalition says people don’t value “free TAFE”, “there’s nothing special about it” & tax payer money should fund private profit driven corporations delivering courses
Don’t risk Dutton
#auspol
Labor has reduced the cost of PBS medicines while adding more medicines to the PBS
Dutton’s Coalition increased medical costs in government & think Trump is a “big thinker” as he backs US drug companies dismantling the PBS which would raise our medicine prices
Don’t risk Dutton
Labor supports miners getting fair wages so they passed same job, same pay, cracked down on “permanent casual” exploitation & defend penalty rates
Dutton’s Coalition will scrap those laws & support coal heiress Gina, who says Australians should work for $2/day
Don’t risk Dutton
Labor has returned 36,000 jobs to the public service reducing wait time for veterans, disabled, unemployed & elderly workers
Dutton’s Coalition wants a return of the big 4 multinational consultants to the &20 BILLION trough of our cash & to sack Aussie workers
Don’t risk Dutton
President Trump has no place imposing his ideologies on Australian researchers. This is an insidious intervention in Australia’s national sovereignty that runs contrary to fundamental principles of free speech, academic integrity and robust, evidence-based research.

Alarm bells when powerful men say they want to protect women. They need to create a society so protection is no longer needed. Drawing a long bow but Iraq ‘protects’ women.
Adolf Hitler helping one of his biggest donors sell a car in 1938.
History doesn't change it just repeats.
That he even had to make this point says a lot. He knows his party position.
I’ve never heard of it before Thanks
I do like that saying. Applies to all stages of life ♥️♥️♥️
