- "One of the first things she will tell you in any social situation is that she used to be a punk. She rolls it out the way your eccentric aunt might drop in she once dated Robert Mugabe over family lunch." OMG, @amyremeikis.bsky.social 😂
- Sussan Ley has always looked for a political narrative - the only one which has remained consistent is she doesn’t truly believe in anything. Which makes her perfect to lead the leftover Liberals www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
- Funny how hospitals, schools and police don't have to constantly justify their very existence to the taxpayer. The Chief of Army isn't out there saying 'the world doesn't owe us a living, we have to make the case.'
- Shorten doesn't bloody know the value of universities? He went to one but doesn't know why? I demand a refund. Tell me a boatload of lawyers just sank.

- Spain, you could do the funniest thing right now...
- So here’s the deal, and I’m gonna use a One Piece analogy because I’m a jocknerd. You don’t rise up and fight against Kaido and the World Government because you know you’re going to win. You do it because it’s the right thing to do.

- wow a solution that actually works and has the added benefit of not jailing 12 year olds
- Youth crime rate down in Fitzroy Crossing, WA and it isn't to do with more police, arrests, detention or prosecuting kids as adults. #wapol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
- Folks, a special request for a personal project: is there anything about the way politicians conduct or media report election campaigns you find confusing or misleading? DM me if you want a basic answer. Or reply if you're happy to just post thoughts without response.

- It shouldn’t be hard for journalists to say “x party is recommending preferences to y party” instead of “x party is preferencing y party”.

- If you wouldn't accept "we are at risk of becoming an island of strangers" from Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage you probably shouldn't accept it from Keir Starmer. Don't pretzel yourself trying to explain why it's ok from the guy in the red tie.

- Little known fact that Grover Cleveland used to ride around the world in the Statue of Liberty and have sensitive national security discussions inside it, before taking possession of it himself after he left office.
