Can Greens hacks please stop calling Max Chandler-Mather the Australian Zohran Mamdani...

Like, I see the similarities, I really do, but he was nowhere near as positive or charismatic as Mamadani is. And I say this as a Greens voter.

'Psychologically unsafe': ANU work halt ordered over Renew program Staff allegedly coerced into voluntary redundancy applications.

CW: ⚠️Suicide ⚠️
Solidarity with staff at the ANU's College of Arts of Social Sciences.

Staff and students have long been ringing the alarm bells on the Renew ANU program and every new revelation only reinforces their call for it to be stopped and scrapped.🧵

Which ones have they won before?

Is this the first Greens mayor in Australia, or just the NT?

(3/3) Also doxxing my name with this but oh well 🙃

(2/3) I've put a google sheet with the numbers and some slightly thorough analysis of the data on this post.

ACT 2024 Results with 7 member electorates

(1/3) After following the Tassie election, I wondered what the ACT Parliament would look like with 7-member electorates, like Tasmania, instead of the current 5-member ones, so I tried punching the numbers, and here's what I got:

🔴 ALP 13
🔵 LIB 13
🟢 GRN 5
⚫️ IFC 3
🟠 FCI 1

Why does Eric Abetz sound like an AI chatbot with the way he forms his sentences 😅😂

There's a very low bar at the moment, but this could be the stupidest take on anything ever. #Auspol

Good.

Senate proceedings would be so much improved by just replacing the Lord's Prayer with a daily censure of Senator Babet.

Touched grass today.
I also took this photo which looked kinda nice.

Don't quite know why they thought "eminent service" during that bushfire season was an accurate description..
Especially when he so unashamedly said "I don't hold a hose, mate"

As part of federal elections, people are voting for a local MP that could go on to help form a national government. At this point though it is just "do you want a liberal or teal representing you in parliament" if it went to a supplementary election. Bradfield can't change the government outcome.

Grateful that I'm not Nicolette Boele or Gisele Kapterian right now. I can imagine how furiously they'd be checking this webpage every few moments.

are we supposed to pretend to be shocked? i can't even feign disappointment because there was never any doubt this is what we'd get from this insipid cunt #auspol

Can things even get any better for the Labor party??
First their landslide win, Bandt and Dutton losing their seats, ALP winning 3 out of 6 Senate seats in most states, and now the opposition falling apart. Never thought I'd actually see this happen.

“What the hell just happened?” wasn’t the triumphant song of the contest, but it was the defining slogan #Eurovision

The size of the Israeli campaign this year is a direct proof of one thing - Israel should no longer be part of EBU. Israel doesn't have free media, their broadcaster is a part of propaganda, and they're not eligible for Eurovision. They're putting every single artist between a rock and a hard place.

Can we show some appreciation for #Armenia being the only country to not give any points to Israel? W Hayastan

My. Heart. Nearly. Stopped.
So so happy for #Austria winning #Eurovision. I was so worried for a moment we'd be going back to the genocidal pinkwashing hosts in 2026 for a moment.

Mfw when you join a far-right party and then get perceived as far-right and everything else that entails 😱

Thrilled beyond words that #Iceland and #SanMarino qualified for the final at #Eurovision! I'll admit I wasn't the biggest fan of either at first but they've become some of my favourites this year, especially VÆB, they're so lovable and positive. 🇮🇸🇸🇲

I think she's had the best vocals in the semi so far, and by a long shot. I really hope they gets Albania their best result!

Can't wait to hear Murray Watt crash out like hell when Greens Senators inevitably grill him over fossil fuels and environmental conservation efforts. The man sure does love to personally insult and beat down on anyone who dares criticise him or the Labor government.
