I 100% support the #teachersstrike - they deserve more $, better funding, permanency, etc. An educated society is crucial for building a sustainable future. Back our teachers. #MoreThanThanks

@gudjerova75358 @juliethardt No babe, it’s not “almost always” — it’s your algorithm. It’s possible to rebalance it to an extent yourself, if you choose to — then you’ll see a wide variety of good and bad behaviour from all sorts of people.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

She is 21. The LNPs Whyatt Roy was 20. The difference? We can only assume the outrage about Labor Senator Charlotte Walker must either be that she is (a) a Labor politician, (b) a woman, or (c) one year older than Wyatt when elected to the federal parliament.

Anything else I miss?

🚨 Before everyone moves on, Goldstein is down to 660 votes and Bradfield 59 votes with still more votes to be counted… yet ABC website doesn’t list them as in doubt. 😏🤞I think the days of calling tight seats early @abcnews are over as every vote needs to be counted! #auspol

How deep is the Coalition’s Metropolitan problem?

Across all Metropolitan political geographies. Primary vote - just over 29%.

What happens when we remove Baby Boomers and older Australians? Using our survey data, here are the results.

Metropolitan Sydney - Coalition Primary 22%
Metropolitan Melbourne - 17.6%
Metropolitan Aus - just over 18%.

In a spectacular repudiation of Liberal Party values, Australians voted overwhelmingly last Saturday to deny privileged, white men a Voice to Parliament.

Canada: it was a close fight, but even the conservative leader lost his seat

Australia: hold my beer

Poetic justice. Today’s the day we silence Dutton’s Voice to Parliament.

And Albanese won’t only be the first PM to win back to back elections since Howard he will be the first PM ever to increase his majority after a first election victory. Menzies, Howard, Hawke, Fraser did not.

BREAKING: Labor wins government in Australia. Conservatives are losing everywhere. People around the world have seen what Trump and MAGA are doing to America and want nothing to do with right wing bullshit.

[Antoinette Lattouf @antoinette_news]

Adam Bandt is in serious strife. With 64% of the vote counted, Labor’s Sara Witty leads by 2,899. Postal votes — likely to favour Liberals — would funnel even more preferences to Labor. Albanese might pull off the staggering: toppling two party leaders in one election.

[Troy’s Voice @TroyPSimpson]

Karma. #AusVotes25

[Barrie Cassidy @barriecassidy]

He’s right.
