Melbourne Show is opting to avoid human artists for their billboards.
I can't say I agree with their decision. These people look dead on the inside.

#Auspol This stuff is what contributes to Anti Semitic issues. Peaceful protests over Israel and many great Jewish people pay the price for the hate it creates

Western hypocrisy calls for Iran to de-escalate, not retaliate
In the upside-down logic of Western diplomacy, bombing is peace and retaliation is provocation.

My experience trying to catch the high frequency (10min headways) Route 402 bus from Footscray today. (1/4)
If this bus arrives in 1min, I'll eat my hat.

It's worth noting a detail here: Jacinta Nampijinpa Price repeated the same speechmaking fallacy as Peter Dutton in his grudging-acceptance-of-losing-the-2025-election speech.
They both quoted a 1942 slogan by Robert Menzies founder of the Liberal Party, "The Forgotten People," but have no […]

The media has got it all wrong. Adam Bandt has me to thank for both his success and failure.
He won Melbourne for the first time, the first time I voted in the electorate. And he hung on until I moved out of the electorate.
Coincidence? Unlikely.

#Auspol I don't think we've ever had an election where the last dozen seats were so tight. I swear the seat of Bean has had so many lead changes if this was the last quarter of an AFL Grand Final, it would end up being classed as one of the greats 🤣

PSA for anyone seeking to understand a basic tenet of Australia’s preferential voting system:
Here’s hoping politics reporters will stop using phrases such as, “with Labor preferences” or “with help of Liberal preferences”.
Parties don’t assign preferences. Voters do.
