I don’t normally wear ear defenders to watch the election coverage. This is only because I’m recovering from middle ear surgery and am avoiding noise - but I thoroughly recommend it as a general coping strategy if you need one 😄 #AustraliaVotes #AusPol

I just hope the dicks outnumber the swastikas on the informal ballots tonight. #AustraliaVotes

(in the booth i worked for the last nsw state election, it was an equal amount of dicks to swastikas. ☹️)

A good voter’s guide to bad faith tactics

Political campaigns are mechanisms of persuasion, aiming to convince you to give them your vote. However, they often use underhanded and bad faith tactics.

It's good to see #ABC bringing back great Australian comedy like 'Australia Votes' to the viewers but not sure why it's on @abcnewsbot.bsky.social rather than ABC Entertains

Ron, you can share our joy in Australia that calling Trump a “big thinker” - & believing it - is part of what lost the FRW wholly illiberal Liberal Federal leader an election…and his seat.

Honestly, #Election2025 really is a choice between the tepid/apathetic and the abominable.

So deeply uninspired & bereft of hope.

Every-time David Speers crosses his arms while talking about Labor or to Labor MP’s drives my blood-pressure through the roof.
