Great fun to interview James Bagge, ahead of today's UK general election, for the Adelaide Advertiser.
If successful, the independent candidate would be the first person to unseat a UK prime minister in more than a century - and he has an Australian connection. #UKElection2024
Had great fun annoying marketing executives (and one of Australia’s wealthiest men) with my mate @MadeStuchbery via our feature on the provenance of Australian-branded clothing, which recently took out a News Award for best investigation:
Back in the Geelong Advertiser for a referendum day special with PM Anthony Albanese @AlboMP and ex-PM Tony Abbott for their final pitches for the yes and no cases to regional Victoria with @gregojazo@_LukeGriffiths
A great turnout this morning for our breakfast with @MurrayWatt. Biosecurity, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, regional and rural roads, and dairy all discussed. Thanks to @AlexSinnott1 for moderating! (Pictured - some of our committee members.)

Worked with @alexandracottee on a feature about the future of Victoria's Liberal-National coalition following last month's electoral belting. Includes an amusing anecdote about how a young John Gorton predicted the future #springst#Vicvotes22

In the coming four year term, he will pass Rupert Hamer, James McCulloch and Albert Dunstan to be the second-longest serving Victorian premier. But he'll need two more victories to beat Henry Bolte's 17-year run #springst#VicVotes2022
Following tonight’s victory, Dan Andrews will secure a statue by February (passing the 3000 day mark) and go onto become Labor’s longest-serving premier in April, surpassing John Cain jnr’s tenure #vicvotes#VicVotes2022
While Animal Justice may lose Western Vic, they're doing well in Northern Vic, where Georgie Purcell is ahead on early numbers (again, LC results will become clearer next week) #springst#VicVotes2022

@gumnut49 Correct- count will go into next week. Another tight race for fifth spot in Western Vic following Kavanagh ('06), O'Brien ('10), Purcell ('14) and Meddick ('18)
Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo all solidly Labor. Speculation about ALP vote in Mulgrave proven baseless
Swings to the Coalition in more rural constituencies #springst#VicVotes2022
Coalition frontbencher Roma Britnell is on track to retain South West Coast. She tells The Weekly Times it's a bittersweet result, given lack of Liberal success in Melbourne #springst#VicVotes2022
@SheedSuzanna looking likely to lose Shepparton. Not anticipated by election watchers after a strong result in 2018. Nats candidate Kim O'Keefe on track to regain the electorate #springst#VicVotes2022
Majority government for Labor looking increasingly likely with western suburbs and Melb sandbelt staying with ALP. Even Bass in the Labor column #springst#VicVotes#VicVotes2022
