Watched Sky Outsiders after #Insiders. Propaganda interview with Jacinta, who I think plays Pauline. She got elected 2022 after becoming prominent in Advance. It’s website was filled with Jacinta propaganda.
Deep dive into the power players in this long play might be interesting.

1. President Trump has fired the Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden.
The position of Librarian of Congress is so apolitical that only 14 people have held the role since 1802.
Hayden, who was the first woman and Black American to serve as Librarian of Congress, has held the position since 2016

So proud of Suzie Holt in #GroomVotes. She stood twice, turning Coalition’s 2nd safest seat marginal - 20.48% margin now 5.14% per cent.
I learned to volunteer - manned the rural Biddeston booth all day then scrutineered.

Forget Albo being the first PM re-elected since Howard.
He may be the first PM to beat TWO opposition leaders (Dutton, Bandt) nationally and in their own seats, taking out the next generation of leaders while he's at it.
