To even attempt to describe this beautiful piece is to somehow cheapen it. All I can say is read it. And then ring your grandparents.

We should be, and I am, thankful for Australia’s excellent electoral system: it has allowed the community opinion to determine the shape of our new government. Many other “democracies “ do not have that ability. Read this

When was the first observation of Centaurus A? In 1826 from Parramatta, near Sydney. Thanks to technical advances we can now observe the finer details like jets of plasma being ejected from its core. More on Centaurus A here: spaceaustralia.com/feature/lookin… Image: EHT/Nature astronomy

Australia is so fortunate to have the AEC @AusElectoralCom
Adam Corcoran@AdamMCorcoran
Honestly the @AusElectoralCom social presence has been an utter masterclass in how to manage a brand’s tone of voice and online personality in 2022. Just the right balance of dry facts, humour, pop culture references and sass. Not shying away from humanness. Bravo.

Matt Giuca@mgiuca
Here's a really interesting example of how Australia's (amazing) preferential voting system makes election races so difficult to count and especially predict from impartial information. Here's Brisbane, currently too close to call with Greens on 55.3%. 🧵 abc.net.au/news/elections…
