To even attempt to describe this beautiful piece is to somehow cheapen it. All I can say is read it. And then ring your grandparents.

Woke up this morning to find that the new prime minister of Australia had quoted my lyrics in his first press conference: “Just because you’re going forwards, doesn’t mean I’m going backwards”. Here’s my response to that welcome news.

The advertising department of the Ainslie laundromat has always been exceptional!! #Canberra

You know you’re in Canberra when even Ainslie laundromat is poking fun at skewed Newspoll charts 😂. #auspol

We should be, and I am, thankful for Australia’s excellent electoral system: it has allowed the community opinion to determine the shape of our new government. Many other “democracies “ do not have that ability. Read this

A nice article by @CosmicRami

When was the first observation of Centaurus A? In 1826 from Parramatta, near Sydney. Thanks to technical advances we can now observe the finer details like jets of plasma being ejected from its core. More on Centaurus A here: https://t.co/I2Fisg5w8z Image: EHT/Nature astronomy

Very fortunate to be elected to membership of the Academy of Sciences this morning along with @naomimcgriff.

Australia is so fortunate to have the AEC @AusElectoralCom

[Adam Corcoran @AdamMCorcoran]

Honestly the @AusElectoralCom social presence has been an utter masterclass in how to manage a brand’s tone of voice and online personality in 2022. Just the right balance of dry facts, humour, pop culture references and sass. Not shying away from humanness. Bravo.

[David McConnell @DavidMcCo]

What do you mean “what happened during the campaign?”. He had sensible policies and 2200 volunteers to assist; we talked to thousands of Canberrans, listening to their points of view. Then they voted for @pocockdavid !

[Andy @Andy_views_only]

That interview with @pocockdavid by Lisa Millar on @BreakfastNews was informative, respectful and uninterrupted with good questions and good answers. Sensational. David is a ripper senate candidate.
Well done.
Begs the question....what happened during the campaign?

[David McConnell @DavidMcCo]

@TonyHWindsor has a gift for the cutting and the concise!

[Tony Windsor @TonyHWindsor]

The Nationals have changed tack …their sole purpose under people like John Anderson was to keep the Liberals in Government and pick up some crumbs…with Joyce their sole purpose is to keep the Liberals out of Government and pick up zilch.A dipstick looking for sump.

Preferential voting: a nice summary illustrated with an interesting example #ausvotes

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

Here's a really interesting example of how Australia's (amazing) preferential voting system makes election races so difficult to count and especially predict from impartial information.

Here's Brisbane, currently too close to call with Greens on 55.3%. 🧵

Australia did good!
