@aaronsmith The Age journalist Chip LeGrand is the only effective opposition in Victoria. The Libs are a pathetic hilarious hopeless rabble.

[Dr Ann Capling @AnnCapling]

@aaronsmith A rabble of fuckwits

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Just before the last election, Scott Morrison snuck into Kooyong - no invite, no photo with Frydenberg.

Tonight, Dutton does the same, meeting Hamer behind closed doors.

They want Kooyong's vote, but won’t face Kooyong.

Cowardly. Pathetic.

[verynormalman @verynormalman]

Kooyong becoming a marginal seat continues to be hysterically funny

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Day 2 of ignoring council orders at Kew pre-poll, and the Liberals have escalated - they’ve sent in Liberals in blazers to show they mean business.

Council officers are snapping pics. Hope the Liberals have budgeted for fines. Those fossil fuel donations will come in handy.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Wow, I thought I was just capturing an odd Liberal campaigning tactic on Glenferrie Road.

Turns out it was the Exclusive Brethren - a hardline religious evangelical sect - out campaigning for Amelia Hamer.

What's going on?

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

A significant reduction in Liberal volunteers for Amelia Hamer today after religious sect / cult members from the Exclusive Brethren were told to stay away.

I guess the religious infiltration wasn’t a great look once the public found out?

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Peter Dutton needs to find voters who love his plan to make life harder for students as much as Amelia Hamer does…

[The Age @theage]

A Melbourne surgeon has admitted tearing down the election sign before tutoring men in how to “bury the body”, outraging anti-violence campaigners and politicians.

Just goes to show you that money can’t buy you respect or class.

They came to lay flowers, and left a business card at the altar of remembrance.

@mediawisemelb @rebaillieu That’s for state not federal campaigns.

[Rob Baillieu @rebaillieu]

This morning Amelia Hamer tried to steal every bit of spot for a sign at Malvern Prepoll.

In 2022, we had a respectful relationship with Josh Frydenberg’s team to limit signs and volunteers.

This behaviour is childish, petty, and unbecoming for someone seeking office #auspol

[Dr Ann Capling @AnnCapling]

Public Service Announcement for Kooyong voters heading to Prepoll voting today.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Voting in Malvern today?

You probably won't be able to park.

Amelia’s American-size monster trucks have claimed most of the parking real estate.

[Dr Ann Capling @AnnCapling]

@swiftykat @FlyAirNZ Not an option if you want to fly to Toronto. I’ve done this every year for 30 years+

Canada didn’t torch it — the mob boss running the United States did.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

HOLY SH*T.

Canada just torched its alliance with the U.S.

Carney didn’t mince words:

“The old relationship we had with the United States—based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation—is over.”

That’s not a policy disagreement.
That’s a geopolitical divorce.

And it’s all unraveling in real time.

[Dr Ann Capling @AnnCapling]

@AusElectoralCom Will prepoll voting still be available for 10 days, ie will it open before Good Friday to account for Anzac Day and Easter Mon holidays?

[Brent Hodgson @BrentHodgson]

Consistently solid turnouts.

@DebLeonard already has extremely strong support in the south of her electorate, and her support in the north is looking increasingly solid.

Keep an eye on Monash. This could be one seat that decides the 48th parliament.

[Rob Baillieu @rebaillieu]

Great to be able to rejoin the @Mon4Kooyong campaign after months away!

Doorknocking in the rain and happy to have been asked to install 10 yard signs as a result!

Kooyong includes Toorak and Malvern now and could come down to a couple hundred votes. Time to volunteer! #auspol

@DougCameron51 Albo & Dutton covering their ears, hoping it all goes away.

Pretending the ‘might is right’ mob-boss world order is not happening.

Canada, facing an existential threat, is reviewing its plan to buy US F-35 fighter jets, in favour of SAAB Gripen Es — to be made in Canada.
