@atensnut If by the left you mean Catholics, yeah

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

I feel like Americans are about to find out that the “war” in “trade war” isn’t euphemistic.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@hutcho66 A lot of that is because the collapsing LNP vote means preferences flow to the ALP, instead of from the ALP to the Greens. But I agree it’s clearly more than just keeping Dutton out.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@mingleili2 @acnewsitics That’s absolutely not true.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@acnewsitics They also were positioned to lose only a few months ago, but appear to have actually gained ground since the opposition leader started employing Trump-like rhetoric. This was very much a response to US politics.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@Acyn He’s off his rocker.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@QBCCIntegrity Doesn’t this just imply that they’re winning a lot of seats by a small margin? And there are One Nation candidates in every seat vs 35 Teals? Hardly some great conspiracy.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@havecankles @trishola2 @cosmicjester Interesting, thanks!

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@trishola2 @cosmicjester Apparently she did (as said above) but I also thought it was interesting that the prosecution aren’t required to even provide a motive. I have no idea if this is standard in legal proceedings but it seems to be heavily emphasised in reporting on this case!

@thefernandocz Is this why he’s started wearing these dorky glasses all the time

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@MickTT11 @AusElectoralCom @craigkellyXXX There isn’t one.

@Oceanblue721 @rx0rcist 😂

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@krnlaux @SpencerHakimian Perhaps, although for us it’s more just the uncertainty. Things are changing so quickly, the environment could be different when we post it from when it arrives. We were actually looking to open onshore manufacturing instead of shipping but that’s dead in the water now.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@JosieMcskimming Sample of one but it fills me with hope.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@JosieMcskimming I live in a hotbed of racists, cookers and greenies (Northern Rivers) and I’ve seen a curious shift in community groups from the racists beating their drum the loudest, to people defending Welcome to Country and calling out the Nats (our incumbent). It’s strange and surprising.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@krnlaux @SpencerHakimian I am a small business owner in Australia and I know a lot of people have just turned off US shipping because it’s too fraught with risk and insecurity (myself included)

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@aaronsmith I can’t even fathom how they think this helps their campaign.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@AndrewAQLD @ProfJoannaHowe She’s literally wearing a jacket that says supervisor.

[Clare Kearney @wordsfromrobin]

@The_SwingState @ajamesbragg If it was true it would be.

@LiberalAus These ads are so bad, I can’t believe they’re real
