Refreshingly level-headed assessment from someone who knows what they are talking about:
John Blackburn spent four decades in the Air Force, rising to Deputy Chief.
For more than decade he’s been warning that Australia is too reliant on imported fuel, too light on reserves, and too exposed if […]

If you are not a rusted on coalition fan, then Annabel Crabb's analysis of the multiple SNAFUs of the Liberal campaign is an almost perfect article - the only complaint that I have is that she could not write Clusterfuck in full for fear of offending Aunty.

Dutton is sick. Desperate and depraved. And if you think the ABC won't be destroyed by him and his henchmen after this rant, think again. He is a fascist - unfit for public office, let alone the PMship. #auspoI
The Sesame Street revamp is shit. #auspoI
African gangs redux. Like a dog returning to his own vomit, Dutton is claiming Victorians are too scared to go out shopping again. He's got nothing to offer at all has he? Utterly pathetic. #auspoI

A genuine leader does not follow the lead of others. That would makes them a follower. By following the orange shitgibbon Dutton proves he's not a leader. He's just pathetic. #auspoI

Given the Liberals' campaign manager was recently sacked for offensive tweets, and their candidate outed for publishing BS about Hazaras in Afghanistan, my suspicions of who is responsible for this are narrow. #auspoI

The bigger question is, why didn't they have any research showing how unpopular this policy is? Everything is rushed and half baked. #auspoI

Imagine being so under the thumb that you are forced to make a public statement that all is well with the relationship you have with your mistress (in the ownership sense). Dutton really is pathetic. #auspoI

When Hitler came to power, he too directed a complete rewrite of German history that mainly eliminated all references to Jews and their disproportionately high contributions to German culture, science, medicine, and the arts. #uspolitics #Trump #auspoI

Patriarchal violence & exclusion is rising globally. As one who has suffered in #auspoI I know there is still a lot of denial about this including in #Labor & #Greens as well as conservatives
@samantharatnam.bsky.social as candidate for my electorate of #Wills are you prepared to be honest on this?
#auspoI don’t believe that they are “flocking” to Dutton. This is the narrative certain media are selling to encourage undecided voters to lean in that direction. Those who might think it would be good to be on the winning side of the election.
Brilliant! #auspoI
