@thebigperc @Warwick_Long Cmon now… 18 months? 😂

@Warwick_Long 🤣🤣🤣 I've always been cynical about this. Raise your profile, expand your network... seems you can do it in 18 months now!

Question for farmers. Is it a good thing when farm lobby leaders go into politics or is it a bad thing? Do you want more farmers closer to decision making positions or does it hurt the industry in future negotiations with various sides of politics...

@AntonyGreenElec @libertylachlan Where did the ON preferences flow in these electorates? 🤔

@libertylachlan They need to keep up their current polling for another two and a half year

One Nation finished as one of the top three candidates versus Labor and the Coalition in 25 seats last May. These seats with One Nation in the 3CP would be amongst the legitimate first targets for the party on current polling. antonygreen.com.au/one-nations-po…

@KosSamaras The inability to count is bewildering.

Moderate Liberals: The difference between Opposition and Government. There’s been chatter about a potential National Party/One Nation Coalition. On paper it sounds like “the Right regrouping.” In practice, it’s a permanent knife-fight, because both parties draw from the same geographic and demographic pools…regional and outer-regional Australia, older voters, lower-density communities. One thing is guaranteed: this arrangement would be missing the only Centre-Right party that can actually govern in Australia, the Liberals. They’re the only ones with an ideological footing that can win in big cities. Australia is one of the most urbanised countries on earth. We are not the United States, and we’re not even the UK. Federal government is won and lost in metropolitan Australia, especially in the outer suburbs and the major city rings where the numbers are. So if anyone is sniffing around for an electoral strategy that can win from the Centre-Right, the answer isn’t doubling down on a regional-populist coalition that cannibalises itself. The answer is consulting, finally, the moderates within the Liberal Party. They were the only reason the former Coalition had any meaningful foothold in inner-urban Australia, and without that urban bridge, the path to government narrows to goats trail.

@stationmum101 @SilkDiffSlipper Thats not actually the origin of the policy to ban, Gillian. It came from the meat workers union, initially - what they wanted was assurances that during periods of low supply to abattoirs, workers wouldn’t be without jobs and stood down, shame no one sought to understand 10y ago

@SilkDiffSlipper Hahahaha dear me. Labor needed the Greens to support them, the price of that was the banning of live export because Labor would never make any meaningful concessions on social issues or emissions from mining. Ag was simply a bargaining chip that Labor needed.

I hope everyone who wanted Australia out of the live sheep trade for ‘animal welfare’ is very fucking pleased with themselves.

@Meat_Watcher @WheatWatcher 😂

@WheatWatcher It’s nuts

Why is it so much more expensive when it’s just pistachios.

@Meat_Watcher Great that you’re not the type to say ‘I told you so’ 😂 👏

Earlier in the season I was admonished a little by one market commentator for suggesting prices around $10-$11 as a winter peak. But we are nearly there…. farmonline.com.au/story/8977180/…

Thank you @NeilMitchell for the chat. Turns out you can cover a lot of ground in an hour or so, from farming, drought, politics to my parent’s marriage. You can listen here:

@coinvisionco @3AWNeilMitchell Listen to it. I’m the farmer, and I sell products for vegans too.

Australia has forgotten the bush. And that’s a threat to all of us. Here’s the passionate message from a third generation farmer who doesn’t like vegans! omny.fm/shows/neil-mit…

@benkingsleyAU @JacintaAllanMP @VictorianLabor Regional Victorians, mostly.

@JacintaAllanMP Who is paying for this? The state is broke under your watch, yet you continue to spend our money to buy votes. @VictorianLabor are economic and aspiration vandals.

BREAKING: We're making public transport FREE for under 18s.

@ellymelly Proof that people vote for what they wish, not what they predict

The next Australian government will be:

@LaurynBahen @JohnLaurenson9 @TrumpetPatriots Seems like a medium- long term play. Also lowers other somewhat similar independents (in policy/position) ability to be competition to Trumpets.

@LaurynBahen @JohnLaurenson9 @TrumpetPatriots Likely so that their votes bother the Libs/Nats, and pushes future liberal/nat/coalition policy to the right.

🔥 Why is @TrumpetPatriots preferencing Labor & Liberal before People First & One Nation? 1- Aaron Hayes- Trumpets 2- Renee Coffey- Labor Party 3- Andrea Campbell- Family First 4- Anthony Bishop- Liberal Party 5- Dion Hunt- Rennick’s People First 6- Lindsay Bell- One Nation I don’t understand, so disappointed 😔

@PossumHello @rattle_ya_dags @livestock_the @keepthesheepWA Yours is a racist and ignorant comment. (And yes I’ve been to middle eastern abattoirs, and somewhat shared your ignorance before I saw the truth)

@rattle_ya_dags @livestock_the @keepthesheepWA To be slaughtered in the most brutal way to appease the beliefs of the most violent third world mentality on earth. Well done Aussie farmers

💚 this is live export! #curious #content #KeeptheSheep

@WheatWatcher 🤞

8 day forecast for Australia.

@KosSamaras Is it ideology or communication? Work harder, longer hours, more stress and less pay does not equate to productivity…and cost of living is linked directly to productivity. How can the nation be drawn together in unity to build together for the benefit of everyone?

Conservative politicians use the word ‘productivity’ a lot. To them, they think it means something positive to the broader electorate. To voters. A key word used to ensure you work harder, for longer hours, for less pay and more stress. So based on this. Work harder, longer hours (way beyond 9 hours a day), see your kids less, get paid less, work when you are sick, well into your 60s - so your living standards can improve. By the way, I just described the majority of voters in key outer urban electorates - the very seats the Coalition needs to win. Yet again, this highlights their unwillingness to abandon parts of their ideology to fully capitalise on the class realignments currently underway.

@David_Howe61 @3AWNeilMitchell What a sensible thing to say.

@3AWNeilMitchell I'd let the team decide that.

Sam Kerr can not be captain again.

@WheatWatcher What the label says and who doctors believe ‘medically need’ something is medical opinion. Plenty of drugs are used for things that are not on the label.

@GermanoEmma It's not a medical opinion. Its label use in Australia is for Diabetics

Ozempic should be limited to those who medically need it - diabetics.

@3AWNeilMitchell Australian’s don’t particularly like ‘leaders’ much - tall poppy syndrome and a lack of support being the antidote to great leadership

New year wish is for leadership . Victoria in particular is in a deep hole. I don’t care which party finds a way out but we need a genuine leader to do it because it won’t be easy .

@thebigperc My God this is what I’ve been stressing about!

This will be interesting... Mr 23 just got rumbled in Nicaragua 🇳🇮 and no longer has a passport. Consular assistance for Nicaragua is via the embassy in Mexico... And it's 🎅🍻 Can't wait for Monday night, supposed to be at a Christmas do & I'll be the 📞 to 🇲🇽 Kids...... 🙈🙈
