@k_eagar @nelsonsopinion Plus some people living overseas and relying on postal votes are at the mercy of locally inefficient postal systems both to receive the ballot plus to return it in time.

@kevinbonham @GusGguuss @adamrayon I guess the numbers will show us soon enough but does BTL tend to favour people running within a party but with a high personal recognition? Thinking of Jacqui Lambie in Tas but also Fiona Patten in Vic who has a profile separate from LCP.

@ronInBendigo @thomasjreid My point was that Tu Le has been the preferred local ALP candidate since before Dai Le was considered to have a serious chance (until KK was forced into the mix)

[Vanessa S @_vTg_]

@ronInBendigo @thomasjreid But likely not selected to confuse voters.

[Vanessa S @_vTg_]

@ronInBendigo @thomasjreid Tu Le has been around for a while - I think she was the local who had to give up ALP preselection to Kristina Keneally in 2022.

@debleonard @mattjcan And EV owners sharing charge with teachers to top up their devices, according to @abcmelbourne!

[Vanessa S @_vTg_]

@chant_ian @msheze11 @conserv1951 @abcmelbourne just mentioned someone who drove their EV to a Phillip Island school and let the teachers connect to their V2L plug so they could charge their phones and computers!

@AussieBloke2020 @AntonyGreenElec From memory there were two questions posed at the 1999 referendum: republic and preamble. Can’t remember whether they were on two papers or one.

@SeamusBlackley There's a sugar cane farm we visited in Far North Queensland which also grows cacao and vanilla with the goal of making all the ingredients for chocolate onsite.

@SeamusBlackley Fascinating - thanks for sharing the process. I used to live near a Cadbury factory in Hobart, Australia and while I had toured it many times I hadn't realised about the fermentation aspect.

@PhilHazell1 Congratulations Margot, you’re truly going places!

@NickEvershed @jimjam_slam Would it be advertising following the passage of the bill through the Senate on 19 June, so capitalising on the referendum's reality being in the news, people's minds etc?

@bunsenbernerbmd A hungry pet who decided they could serve their own dinner tonight!

@colourmeamused_ @aishamae The mid-2021 lockdown was split by suburbs as well, I think - slowly rolled out as it became evident the virus had spread.

@dotzbornak1979 @instanterudite Having a word to the Archbishop of Canterbury about whether it would be prudent to have a secret king in the wings…

@murrigellas The @Chat10Looks3 Melbourne offshoot made this recipe as a lockdown cookalong - very tasty!
