Converting Runps gifted flying palace to Air Force One will cost more than constructing one from scratch, which is already under way. So, where is DOGE in regards to that $1B waste on a Runp bribe jet?

So many LNP voters and supporters upset at how Labor can win so many seats with only 30% or so of votes, blame the preference system and claim it’s a failure.. no, it worked perfectly,
it means independents and other didn’t get enough to win, but voters really didn’t want LNP to win #auspol.

Visit to Vatican for enthronement of #PopeLeo this week by #AnthonyAlbanese enables him to meet world leaders. Many Australians like me hope he will begin negotiations for trade and defence alliances with nations other than #USA & #UK that represent old world of decadent politics.

94 (from 148) is Howard’s 1996 record. The miracle election. Labor is at 90 from 151, with 10 to go, and as a returning government. Yet the focus is on the Lib’s loss, not Labor’s success. Our media class really does have the “born to rule” belief, doesn’t it?

In his victory speech, Tim Wilson completely misrepresents how he behaved on losing the seat to Independent Zoe Daniel in 2022. He then sledges Zoe Daniel for not yet conceding (although the vote count continues). Wilson is a defiant, narcissistic grub. #GoldsteinVotes #auspol #AusVotes25

Nothing stands the way of Labor and ambitious, progressive reform
The big question now is whether the second term Labor government will make the big changes that Australians clearly want and need.
