it looks like the Greens are doing better in seats they didn't target, which is interesting. Like 2010, this was an election with an underwhelming first-term Labor govt where Greens should've been able to exploit the desire for something better.

Greens result deeply underwhelming. The national media narrative will say it’s because they were too “extreme”. They had their most cautious parliamentary and electoral strategy in years (perhaps ever). Being too scared to actually attack Labor doesn’t help you win votes off Labor.

Genuinely cannot believe they kept the challenge going after it injuries someone #survivorau

Also AJ is making a one man case for voting him out right now and no one seems to realise it #survivorAU

"I have respect blah blah blah..." is one of the least respectful things I have ever heard #SurvivorAU

Wow!

I say this because realistically, the groups of people ordering UberEats habitually now were not cooking for themselves 10 years ago, they were just heating up a meal.

I'm surprised that the cooking for yourself v delivery debate is ignoring the real competitor for heavy food delivery users: pre-made meals.

Farmers are abandoning land worldwide. What should happen to it? Ecologists differ on whether to steer recovery or let nature take its course

Abandoned farmland gets less attention than, say, deforestation. But globally, agriculture is both expanding and retreating. Thanks to @science.org for giving me space to explore this.

Serious question, has there ever been a more important maiden test ton in the match context? #ausvind

I gather its thought that promoting Webster for only a few games against India could hurt his growth more than help us this series, and tbh I see that logic #ausvind

Its clear he is just seat warming for Cameron Green and its not like our domestic league has anyone smashing the door down to replace him! #ausvind

I don't think it's a coincidence that India were much more competitive in the game that Rohit wasn't captain. Bumrah needs to be made captain asap! #ausvind

This seam movement (shown by Ponting on Channel 7) really does need to be brought under control if we want to see skill rewarded in Test Cricket. If it moves that much surely the optimum strategy is T20 type aggression and that cant be great long term #ausvind

Also, if that was the real reason, surely Albo would have said "we tried to work with The Greens but there 'extreme' demands meant it wouldn't pass the Senate" - that would be more consistent with the current ALP strategy...

If the Liberals get to decide what becomes law, who’s really in government?

Labor hasn’t had a majority in the Senate in living memory. How is the government meant to function if the Prime Minister’s personal vendetta prevents ever getting something across the line without Opposition support?

My party needs to learn you can't negotiate with someone who doesn't actually care if they get what they want - if they even know what they want in the first place #auspol

Isn't the problem with the strategy for Labor that it ends up being an argument for swing voters to vote Liberal to avoid continuing to be "blocked" - so if they run it to Election Day it will hurt them overall?

The Voluntary Assisted Dying laws here in Victoria haven't been expanded in 5 years of operation and there is no serious push to change that.

Like I'm sure some of the commentators know more about cricket than me but at least I can count to two #ausvind

Did this idiot on Kayo just express wonder at Reddy taking a single on the first ball of the over at the second ball of the over?

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.

Cam we stop acting like the cancellation of the opening Myer Christmas Windows is important, or that a protest in front of them would have actually improved support for the Palestinian cause?

One day there's going to be an almighty mix up and Netanyahu only gets a 2 match ban and fined 50% of his match fee whilst Virat Kohli goes to jail for war crimes.

Does the Albanese government realise that social media basically is the internet at this point? Even if a blanket ban for youth is feasible, surely banning them from the main form of modern communication is also bad for development.
