So ASIO dropped the ball on #foreigninfluence. While fixating on China, America’s Far Right – and their ultimate sponsor – were our biggest threat. Will the Australian Govt now prosecute foreign actors for interfering in our #ausvotes? #auspol www.brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/fed...

Average life expectancy in Australia is about 83 years. Since you can't vote for the first 18 years you're alive, it's only fair you shouldn't vote for the last 18. Make the maximum voting age 65!

Without a doubt ! We’ve sold off so many key assets—energy, property, hospitals, infrastructure—that foreign capital now holds us hostage. Successive governments, especially since Howard, have prioritised pleasing global investors over national interest. The result? Policy paralysis and a public priced out of their own country.

Labor and One Nation both gain seats at the expense of the Coalition. But Labor will be able to pass legislation with either Coalition or Greens support.

We're into week 2 of the #Bradfield recount, and Nicolette Boele has taken a 21-vote lead at this stage.

It could, however, easily flip back to Kapterian over the coming days as the recount continues.

Damning. #4Corners #AusPol #AusVotes

We're finally starting to get a preference count in #Calwell, three weeks after election night.

It's been unclear who the final two would be in this seat, as the two main parties finished with under 50% of the primary vote, and five independents get more than 30% of the vote between them.

Labor's Basem Abdo has taken an early lead over the independent Carly Moore, but with only 2% of the 2CP vote in, it's still too early to call.

Wowzer. The Coalition in Australia has split.

The last time the Liberals won a majority without the Nationals was back in 1996 (though they came close in 2013). So if the two don't manage to reconcile quickly, they may give Labor another win in 2028.

#AusVotes #auspoli

I, for one, live for this chaos of RWNJ fools in the LNP experiencing humiliating failure due to their own incompetence and handing a big win to shitposters on AusPol.

A photo of Steven Bradbury, Australian 1000-metre speed skater, winning a gold medal at the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Games. He looks ecstatic to be the last person standing. Behind him, every other competitor has fallen in chaos. The caption next to the winner is "Shitposters on #AusPol". Captions under the fallen competitors identify them as Peter Dutton, Sussan Ley, and David Littleproud.

Nationals will not re-enter Coalition agreement

Liberal Party leader Susssan Ley and National Party leader David Littleproud have had a hissy-fit over their Coalition relationship, and have decided it's in the best interests of both parties to have a messy break-up.

The Coalition is dead.
RIP LNP.
The 2025 Federal Election is a gift that keeps on giving.
