We knew it was coming soon anyway but EMRS omnibus poll including TAS state and TAS federal is in the field. #politas

They’ll be in the wilderness for a while for sure, but I’d rather them than Hanson’s apocalypse

Angus Taylor resigns from shadow cabinet ahead of expected Liberal leadership challenge Taylor says party in ‘worst position’ since formation and says he doesn’t believe Sussan Ley is in position to lead

Things are bad when you just wish the Coalition would sort itself out, even if only to crush any prospect of Hanson or her ilk gaining any more seats www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #politas #auspol

This isn't incompetent journalism, this is deliberately malevolent journalism.

Margaret Kudelka is with Jon Kudelka and 2 others . Seonpotrdsm9g 5 4tf16gl m c5t15cch90t3ic9t97gmttlgc5tc1m8f 1 9a4m9 · We are sad to tell you that our beloved, brilliant Jon Kudelka died peacefully in South Hobart on Sunday afternoon, surrounded by his family and friends. He was 53. Jon was deeply loved and admired by many, including fellow Tasmanians, the legions of fans of his inimitable art, countless newspaper readers over 30 years, and even by the politicians he relentlessly skewered in his award-winning cartoons (many of whom have his work on their walls). He loved his family, friends, making art in many forms, and firmly calling out political and anti-science bullshit with his typically dry wit and compassion. Jon was diagnosed with glioblastoma in early 2024 and faced treatment for two years with positivity and hope, supported by his wife, Maggie, teenage children Kay and Oskar, sister Liesl, and his many friends. Jon believed in showing up fully for life and embracing humour even in the hardest of times. In the past two years, he was heard many times to say, ironically, “good times”. Jon’s presence remains in the love he gave and the lives he touched. He will always be with us. Funeral details to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in Jon’s memory to The Bob Brown Foundation, Canteen Australia or The Menzies Institute for Medical Research.

In the worst news, the great, the amazing, the wonderful @kudelka.bsky.social has died.

A great friend, and an amazing man.

This is shattering.

Vale Jon Kudelka - a smart arse, champion of Australian flora and fauna, and fucking awesome bloke.

Excuse the typos 😆🤔

There is no policy there that's workable. It's a vacuum of ideas that will take us backwards and make us more like America. This is not who we are or should be. While I struggle with even giving her views any oxygen at all, it's something that needs to be exposed for what it is. Pure drivel.

Pauline is one of those politicians who simply exist to inflame and amplify extreme minority views to to create further tension and division. Her party has never been about uniting or creating "one nation" it it simply an exercise of vanity fuelled by bigotry, hatred, racism and sexism.

I made the mistake of looking at that awful Pauline Hanson/Holly Valance clip. My eyes and ears may never recover. Do yourself a favour and don't. If there's ever a time were we should hope that the Coalition doesn't implode all together, it is now. 🧵

Launceston got the Foo Fighters but Hobart had Cheepa at the JackJumpers game last night and it didn't cost the tax player anything to get him here. #politas #Tasmania

Must need the pokies money for something else I guess 🤔🙃 #politas

Pokies measures announced today by Rockliff govt make mockery of harm minimisation - & same day govt release Deloitte report on abandoned pokies card - shows card would reduce pokies harm & be economic boost for Tas - $200+ million GSP & net increase 200 jobs!

Era ends: Tasmanian Electoral Commission deregisters Jacqui Lambie's party A former key supporter reflects on a 'missed opportunity'.

While this is kind of gross, I'm sure it is only the surface of grubby #politas behaviour.

Tr^mp can fork right off IMO www.themercury.com.au/news/opinion... #politas

My read is that the party machine became unworkable for her - reaching consensus on various policies (meaning some compromise) seems to have clashed with her views/desires to a breaking point #politas
