Wow, was this Lib nobody the best they could offer the ABC? Is everyone else on Sky?

Dutton's equivalent in Canada lost his own seat in the election.

Let's hope the same happens to the PotatoFuhrer!

Pre-poll voted this morning in #auselection25

So good to ignore all the circus even harder than before.

A real highlight here in Canberra is having a candidate like #DavidPocock that is a genuine pleasure to vote 1 for.

A lowlight is having so many absolute fruit loops that I can't put the Libs last. It causes me physical pain.

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.

I live in the seat of Page. Our current MP is Kevin Hogan who is also the shadow trade minister, meaning if the LNP wins he will be the guy handling all of these trade issues with the US.

Page also has Casino, the beef capital of Australia. The LNP want to sidle up to the US but this leaves a conflict of interest - does he side with his electorate and protect the beef industry (which has been a focus of Trump's), or does he side with his party and screw us over?

Interestingly, Labor have a candidate in the area called Wendy Backhaus but I can't find any information on her. The ALP site has a list of all candidates: https://alp.org.au/our-people/our-people/ and the seat of Page isn't listed. I would have thought given the global issues right now and who the opposition is here that they might make an effort.

Does anyone have a way to ask Labor if they plan on doing anything in this seat?

‘Bile of racism’ and anti-migrant rhetoric spilling into political debate, race discrimination commissioner warns.

Comment: Targetting migrants is a classic fascists tactic.

Speaking as a European, Id like to be reassured that EU+UK are going to dump USA in future given the blatant unerring hostility of JD Vance towards us.
And speaking as a Brit-Aussie dual national, Id like to be reassured that the Aus govt does NOT kowtow to US govt and allow them to bleed us dry of minerals, money and land to build their frigging bases against China.

Its us who would get ripped off and bombed.
Think about that.
