Why the fuck are people shocked someone would protest carols by candlelight?
It's a live outdoor nationally televised event, kinda ideal for that
Everyone stop clutching your pearls
Caufield Liberal MP
@SouthwickMP
welcomes ban on wearing keffiyeh in parliament. He says seeing the scarf was triggering for him.
“We do not need political activists playing games in parliament, it’s not a peace sign”
#springst
Remember when the Greens wanted $50bn in direct spending for housing over 10 years, and Labor refused
Then they asked for $25bn over 10 years for housing, and Labor refused
Yeah...
VIC: BREAKING 🚨 Sources have told
@6NewsAU
that BOTH Greens councillors on Monash City Council – Josh Fergeus and Anjalee de Silva – have LEFT the party
We’ve reached out to both for comment
@MenachemV
I love the automatic assumption that it's impossible that this man lives in the area
Like anti zionists aren't allowed in the Caulfield area
📢
The final names & boundaries for federal redistributions underway in WA & VIC are likely to be announced by the end of this week.
The announcement of NSW names & boundaries is likely to occur by the end of next week.
Labor hasn't had majority in the Senate for decades
Its just simply not a feasible goal
They need to get used to the fact they need to negotiate, the crossbench isnt going anywhere
I have nothing better to do
So I have compiled the most batshit insane submissions from Katie Allens "save Higgins" army
Terrifying these people can vote
Thread🧵
There's nothing like teaming up with a far-right Islamaphobic Senator, the same week you kicked out a Muslim Senator
Genuinely, are Labor Party strategists dying of dementia?
Huong Truong:
>daughter of Vietnamese refugees
>former West Metro MLC
>union organiser
>community activist
Mullino:
>some white guy
>parachuted in from Eastern Vic
>no union background, just a government economics consultant
By all means it should be Mullinover
Ok guys I might have to defect to Labor, bc I've just found my new favourite MP
Lee Tarlamis, MLC for South East metro is an artist
Truly show me an MP with socials as fire as this
I mean look lets be clear, "where are the Jews" is highly inappropriate and still needs to be condemned
But AJA seriously needs to answer in regards to whether audio was doctored and why they purposefully inflammed tensions that undoubtedly put Jewish people on danger
#BREAKING
🚨 NSW Police confirm there is no evidence "gas the Jews" was chanted at a pro-Palestine rally at the Sydney Opera House - instead, crowds were chanting "Where's the Jews" |
#6NewsAU
Everyone keeps talking about how scary Peter Dutton as Prime Minister would be
But I'm far more scared of James Paterson becoming Home Affairs Minister
There's something particularly fashy about that one
If you vote for someone other than a Labor candidate you increase the chances of Peter Dutton becoming Prime Minister
No Muslim of any type that I’ve spoken to over the years has ever had ONE single positive thing to say about Peter Dutton
Vote Labor to keep Dutton out
#auspol
Here's the first piece of evidence that Labor has no clue how to win back Griffith next year
They think Albanese's personal endorsement is going to be a positive in this contest
If I was Max I'd be overjoyed at this strategy
Renee Coffey is Anthony Albanese’s candidate in Griffith - she'll stand up for renters and first home buyers by building more homes to address housing affordability.
I am thrilled to announce that the 78 tram and I will be running as job sharing candidates for Higgins
The 78 is a true Higgins local, and I own a few properties here
We've skimmed the electoral act, and we're pretty sure it doesn't say you can't job share with a tram
This week the Greens voted to stop an administrator being appointed to clean up the CFMEU Construction Division. Despite all the evidence it’s been infiltrated by organised crime and bikie gangs.
That’s right - they voted to let John Setka & his mates keep control of the union.
📣 ANNOUNCING Huong Truong for Fraser!
I’m a local community activist & daughter of refugees. Labor has abandoned our community in the West, and I’m sick of it. Rents & mortgages are sky-high, while supermarkets rake in profits. We’re ready for better.

@UstaNajjar
Oh the tweet calling it antisemitic to call something a genocide bc it wasn't 6 million people?
Yeah sorry didn't have the vibe for gross genocide denial
That rhetoric downplays so many genocides, it was disgusting and i didnt want his shit on my page
Hypothetical Labor minority governments
Labor+Greens+JLN
Labor+Greens+Independents
(Reminder all 3 indies are vaguely left)
Labor has chosen not to try and form government because it's better that Tasmania suffer under a Liberal government so Labor can poll better
Therefore; it looks like the final parliament composition will be
🟦 Liberal: 14
🟥 Labor: 10
🟩 Green: 5
🟧 JLN: 3
⬜️ Independent: 3
The JLN + Liberals cannot form government and will rely on Independents to secure confidence and supply.
Darebin City Council will stop flying the Palestine flag, and will now fly the LGBT and Aboriginal flags later this month
The motion was put forward by Greens councillor Tom Hannan and backed by other Greens and some Labor councillors

Bad bait accounts genuinely got me thinking
When you look at it, the amount of land we dedicate to golf courses alone is insane
This is a map highlighting all the golf courses (not parks) in Melbourne's south east
How the fuck do we justify this?
Was watching this live
Insane to me that the Premier and Leader of the Opposition ranted on about how unparliamentary political statements are
Immediately following the most childish behaviour on both sides of interrupting and personal attacks the entire question time
MA-R is the newest Labor parliamentarian, representing the new modern Labor rep:
Owns seven houses and talks about inequality
A doctor who doesn't oppose actions against civilians in Gaza
Supports Israel and doesn't mind standing next to Birmingham on the wrong side of history
Did you know thanks to the CFMEU thugs
A bricklayer earns 1.2 million a year
John Pessuto is forced to be 5"3
And David Southwick has to give Sally Mcmanus the rental income from 5 of his 17 investment properties
No wonder construction is so expensive smh
Sounds good to me 👍
Also bold to have an article about antisemitism, then proceed to downplay specific members Jewishness and misrepresent the policy put forward by the Jewish Greens
Chip has never had any shame
Activists rising to power in the Greens are intent on reshaping the party into a hard left force, with overt sympathies for the pro-Palestinian protest movement.
As union members prepare to gather Industrial Relations Minister Tim Pallas says the “action today is not approriate.”
“We’d urge people to get back to work as soon as possible.”
And while there’s a right to protest: “What they shouldn’t do is take action that is unlawful.”
@spenderallegra
I mean maybe start with no inviting a weapons expo to the middle of Melbourne?
You'd think that would be unnecessarily inflammatory
But I forget your version of social cohesion is just for multicultural Australians to be quiet
If we get minority government, Albaneses is gone, we having a spill right?
I can put up with neoliberal policy, but Albanese is genuinely bad at politics
Israeli bulldozers have crushed Palestinians who were taking shelter in tents outside Kamal Adwan Hospital, reports Al Jazeera Arabic's Anas Shariff.

@rippinghottakes
He's taking the risky Terri Butler strategy
So threatened by a Green challenge that they go on these unhinged rants that only bring the Greens attention
I'm gonna say something contraversial yet brave
Skyrails are far superior to underground level crossings
Not only is it nicer having community space under the skyrail instead of a big hole
But I'm fucking sick of losing reception every time I stop at a station
"I was one of those (an essential worker) once upon a time, not now"
She's so based for this,
Being an irrelevant Labor backbencher and 7 time landlord isn't an essential job
@Leo_Puglisi6
@6NewsAU
Genuinely it's fucking astounding how much the media is ignoring this
6 News is actually doing a public service by reporting on this when not many else would
No genuinely this makes me so excited
Labor has no clue how to run a campaign against the Greens
They attack us like the electorate is a Friendly Jordies subreddit
“The MIA status of several prominent Greens from the referendum has gone unnoticed, freeing them to assail Albanese for failing to achieve something they were decidedly half-hearted about themselves.”
#auspol
I hope Labor ends up regretting single member wards
Example one, the Greens have just won a council seat in Mount Alexander Shire given that no one else nominated
This is absolutely disgusting pink washing perpetuated by a Greens Councillor.
@dzyngier
just resign already
It is abundantly clear you don't hold Greens values
Why you wish to remain as a collective embarrassment of Greens members is beyond me
#BREAKING
🚨 Greens win their first-ever Tasmanian upper house seat
🟩 GRN: 37.6%
⬜️ Kelly (IND): 20.8%
🟥 ALP: 18.7%
⬜️ Other INDs: 22.9%
No LIB candidate
Greens GAIN from independent Rob Valentine, who did not recontest

The world isn't read for the Greenslide
Get read for: Gracnamara, Grichmond, Griggins, Grills, Grooper, Graser, Gracey, Grerth, Gradelaide, Groreton,
Also, Grayndler but that doesn't fit the pun
Hot take
Even if you could assure me that these bombs wouldn't harm a single civilian
This is still fucked up
War should never be conducted in such a light hearted jovial manner
You're literally trying to kill people
I honestly don’t understand how *anyone* is ok with politicians writing messages on bombs that will fall on children.
Fuck you
@Mike_Pence
, and fuck everyone who thinks this is acceptable behaviour. You’re all fucking sick in the head.
@MurrayWatt
~40% of Greens own investment properties
~70% of Lib/Lab own investment properties
The Greens housing spokesperson is a renter
The Labor housing spokesperson owns 3 homes
Yall are projecting hard
A tale as old as time:
Labor adopts conservative reforms to fend off the Libs
Doesn't work, loses Government to the Libs
Labor then campaigns against the harsh conservative reforms they introduced
Labor returns to government
Repeat
