Liberals' Secret Election Post-Mortem Blames Everyone But Themselves

A leaked Liberal Party review reveals internal blame, a damning verdict on Peter Dutton's campaign control, and findings on migrant and women voters.

The Daily Perspective
Not the ideal minority government, but it's a pretty ok majority. #AusPol #AusElection2025 🫡

Antony Green's song preferences - ABC listen

You’re about to hear a side of Antony Green you’ve never heard before.  The longtime Chief Election Analyst for the ABC is about to hang up his boots, after calling close to 100 elections in his time. He’s the guy we look to as the polling booths close, crunching the numbers, understanding the swings, and with a brain and knowledge bank that would rival the best computers. Antony is an icon, and arguably the most trusted person in Australia. But who is he behind the numbers? Get ready to find out, as we Take 5 and analyse the man himself across five songs. Traffic – 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys' Pretenders – 'Up The Neck' Pete Shelley – 'Telephone Operator' Simple Minds – 'I Travel' D:Ream – 'Things Can Only Get Better'

Fear and loathing on the election campaign trail

Is the ‘hate media’ really to blame?

澳洲大選-故意向選民提供虛假資訊

Yet again...
Chinese-Aussies are getting deliberate misinformation from RW political interests in Australian elections.

This needs to stop.
Why hasn't Albanese govt legislated for this blatant lying to stop after the last election and the "vote LNP #1" poster scandal ?

Sheer lunacy.
And malevolent electioneering by the RW.
Of course.

WTF now?!: Monday 31 March–Sunday 6 April 2025

Is the arts in this election? Burke comments on the Venice Biennale, the sector responds Green’s Queensland Music Awards win and SA launched a cultural policy.

I'll just say this about Dutton and his WFH policy:

He may be rolling the policy back now because it's clearly not an electable policy, but I have no doubt it will come back with a vengeance should he be elected.

Right-wingers like to punish those who go against them when they have the power. Listen when a politician talks of division; a good politician wants to work for all, even if they didn't vote for them.
