Fighting for the reservation of public land at King Edward Park in Newcastle.

Peter Dutton is not even Opposition Leader, yet @abcnews #afternoonbriefing cuts from interesting panel discussion to allow him to do his “Labor has broken its election promise in the first week,” rant. Umm why???

[Anne Summers @SummersAnne]

I had the immense privilege of knowing Tom Uren when we started Elsie Womens Refuge and he was minister in the Whitlam Govt in charge of buying the Glebe estate for low income housing. He ensured we could stay there rent free until our funding came through 1/2

[Margaret Throsby @margaretthrosby]

@smh @tonyowright This is a lovely piece by @tonyowright about that beautiful man, Tom Uren. I had the great good fortune to live near Tom & we had many a yarn. He was an environmental warrior to the core: once he planted an avenue of angopheras in Mt Wilson. He called them “my princesses”.

[Tanya Plibersek @tanya_plibersek]

Tom Uren was generous with his wisdom, dedicated to Labor, and relentless in his pursuit of justice and peace.

Today would have been his 101st birthday. We miss him every day.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

“The healthy looked after the sick, the strong looked after the weak, the young looked after the old.”

Tom Uren was a father figure to me. His philosophies still guide me and I miss him every day.

Happy birthday Tom Uren.

Scott Morrison’s staff urged border force to publicise Sri Lankan boat interception on Election Day
Although he is gone and we are all happy this only reinforces the deceit of the man. No conviction and anything goes. Good riddance. https://t.co/hY7YOeROhz

[ABC News @abcnews]

Scott Morrison instructed Border Force to reveal election day asylum boat arrival https://t.co/LHmCLxFPu6

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

Awful but unsurprising revelation from the ABC - Scott Morrison instructed the Border Force to participate in a political, racist fear campaign on election day around asylum seekers. What an awful little man.

[Karen Middleton @KarenMMiddleton]

Ok so there are 2 boats, one intercepted by the Sri Lankan navy & one by the Australian Border Force. I was told April 26 there would be 2 boats coming, allegedly facilitated by Sri Lankan authorities, due to arrive by May 21. Described as an “election stunt”. I couldn’t verify.

[Craig Foster @Craig_Foster]

Hopefully, mercifully, the repudiation of this desperate, but frequent use of refugees for political gain that has become an entrenched part of the public diet will be the signpost to a new beginning.

This stunt perfectly captures the past 20 years. https://t.co/j4ELR6y59Y

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

I will not be fucking lectured by anyone about calling some lowlife shithead Voldemort unless they were just as fucking outraged by what Julia Gillard was fucking called when she was PM, or what any number of other prominent women have been called every fucking day for centuries.

[PRGuy @PRGuy17]

While the Morrison Government predictably seeks to fool Australians with dirty tricks, Anthony Albanese, in contrast, has run a clean and disciplined campaign. I'd like to thank Albo and Labor for their honesty and for treating Aussies with dignity and respect. #AusVotes22

[Stella Yee @Stella4Menzies]

In seats like Kooyong, many Labor voted strategically: IND 1 and ALP 2.

I know this because this was what long-term Labor voters have told me.

So, when discussing Labor’s primary vote, please bear this in mind; there’s more to it than just the number

[Nannan. @NannanBay lower class Australian @NannanBay]

If you say Labor did poorly how do you account for the fact that so far we have gained 10 seats.

Perhaps @ABCthedrum could mention that. #thedrum

[Mark Butler MP @Mark_Butler_MP]

Thank you, Hindmarsh. I’ll continue fighting for the west. Excited for a better future for Australia under an @AlboMP Labor Government.

[Kailani Mana 🌺 @mana_kailani]

Someone ⁦@BreakfastNews⁩ needs to tell Lisa Millar that Labor doesn’t have a problem with diversity. First foreign born Minister of Foreign Affairs sworn in today. If ABC presenters can’t stop the undermining, negative pejorative against Labor they need to go elsewhere.

[Cheryl Kernot @cheryl_kernot]

Really disappointed with that “Left tropes” snipe, @samanthamaiden Labor focussed on the economy as much as Morrison did. With more focus on the productivity of social policies. #insiders

[Catherine Zengerer @Catherine_Zen]

Former Labor Senator John Black on @abc730 “The Liberals regarded the women in wealthy seats as Dr’s wives, when in fact they were the doctors” 😂😂😂 #ausvotes #auspol

[Nicola Gage @Nicola_Gage]

Antony Green has called the bush seat of Lingiari for Labor, saying Marion Scrymgour’s lead is now large enough that it cannot be overturned on outstanding postal votes @abcnews #ausvotes
