🚨Andrew just called Tristan… to start a “mogged by clav” clothing brand in 48 hours. Tristan: “but I’m 37, I don’t know what mogging is.” Andrew: “Don’t worry about it. Make it real.” Tristan: “Okay!”

@deemadigan Promoting Hume is going to go down a treat with Chinese Australians. It's like they WANT to lose.

I guess Jane Hume deserved the Deputy Leader job after her sterling effort in the last federal election campaign

@AngusTaylorMP "I believe Australia is worth fighting for.' This is the most empty, clichéd and meaningless slogan I've ever heard.

Why I Am Running for Leader of the Liberal Party. #auspol

@Bergermeister23 She is far right of center, which makes her too exclusionary. A leader needs to reach across the aisle with people they disagree with. Price treats almost everyone left of her as the enemy (including moderates in her own party.)

She's intelligent ,she's indingenous & a female warrior at heart. The perfect candidate for PM even The Left could get behind. You'd think.🤔🤔

@RyanWil62993886 @jamesmassola It's not that hard to understand. Price plainly stated that Indians are favoured over other migrants because of the way they vote. In addition to being entirely baseless (we have a non-discriminatory migration system), it implies Indian migrants are not arriving on merit.

An entire state parliamentary division of the Coalition has now apologised for Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s comments about Indian-Aussies. 🤯 And yet Price and some of her supporters insist an apology is not necessary.

@pritchard_maree @Matt_Camenzuli She suggested the government purposely skews migration to favour Indians over other nationalities for political purposes. This is incorrect and she has owned up to the mistake herself.

@Matt_Camenzuli I don’t understand why some people are offended by what Jacinta Price said 🙄

This is Ralph. Ralph is a moderate Liberal. He thinks Jacinta should be sacked. He thinks Hawke is right. Don't be like Ralph.

@Sauronlordking Are we meant to embrace an "anything goes" mindset in combat zones? Should we condone the execution of unarmed prisoners and civilians? I get most critics have no idea what war is like or the pressures men like Roberts-Smith are under, but we still need to have rules, right?

I'm afraid there is no future for a nation that betrays and demonises its warrior class.

@tulkatide @Kangaroo_Court These sources are right, but they're talking about her *other* court case against the government/her lawyers. (She's been a busy lady.)

@Kangaroo_Court thx for the clarification. will tune in next week as I had planned.

Linda Reynolds v Brittany Higgins Judgment due on 27-8-25 #auspol youtu.be/CunyDxztJss

@katherine_deves Every person in this photo is wealthy and/or the progeny of old money. These are not the "aspirational" voters you seek.

🇦🇺 If Liberals want to regain & retain power they should be working on speaking to the Zoomers & younger Milennials - the generation that will rebel against the excesses of “progressivism”, identarianism & DEI values of their elders How do you make conservatism aspirational?

My hot take on why the Liberals lost: It wasn't nuclear. It wasn't culture wars. It wasn't a dearth of policy. Rather, it was because they *kept telling us our lives were shit*. This really pissed undecided voters off. #auspol

@Gracieg64 @AndrewBrownAU They were literally quoting Tim lol

@JagerChris @AndrewBrownAU The ABC this morning said what Tim said was a non event and every party says the same thing.

Vote count has narrowed further in Goldstein to 258 votes, with only 474 postals/absents still to be processed

@BillyJacksmak @AndrewBrownAU Yes, it won't be automatic, but either candidate can still request a recount regardless of the margin.

@JagerChris @AndrewBrownAU Has to be under 100 votes for automatic recount

@faultytimes25 @paulell90 @AndrewBrownAU I understand how it works. The leaked texts could be interpreted as a veiled directive to knock out legitimate votes. Daniels could argue the AEC accidentally placed a significant number of votes in the informal pile due to scrutineer skulduggery. It's certainly worth a shot.

@madameshawshank @abcnews To be fair, "we" could just mean the viewers watching along.

#Speers, the #ABC's national political lead and host of #insiders, on #Election2025 night “We’re in for a thumping.” He is utterly unfit to hold those positions. #bias #auspol @abcnews

@paulell90 @AndrewBrownAU My point is that there is a public record, via leaked texts. It's a bit of extra ammo for Daniel's camp when they inevitably request a recount.

@JagerChris @AndrewBrownAU I worked on the Gilmore Liberal campaign in 2022 and I can tell you that our candidate was concerned that every effort was made to ensure we had scrutineers available.

@paulell90 @AndrewBrownAU Of course they all do it. But you don't usually get a clear-cut call to arms direct from the candidate.

@JagerChris @AndrewBrownAU That is literally what all parties and candidates talk about when it comes to scrutineering! that's the point of having your scrutineers there. He also referred to Zoe's scrutineers doing the same with his votes. All decisions on the formality of votes is made by the AEC.

@Jansant It's kinda hilarious how Murdoch media and the Libs are heralding Wilson's performance as some kind of resurgence against the Teals. Even if he wins, it will be by the smallest of margins - hardly a ringing endorsement in a blue ribbon seat.

Wilson's Goldstein lead now cut to 258. Looks like it'll end up between 100 to 200 I suggested a few days ago, but more votes to count will be added today.

@ExposingNV "Walker sought to undermine the credibility of Afghan witnesses present in the remote village when Ali Jan was killed" It must've been confounding for these witnesses to learn the case wasn't about a potential conviction, but instead, whether he was entitled to lots of money.

Just in! Ben Roberts-Smith has lost his appeal!

@senatorbabet This argument would be more persuasive if Kanye hadn't publicly praised Hitler multiple times and literally sold Nazi merch on his website.

Due to the news article some people are now saying I’m a Nazi sympathiser because I said I liked Kanye West’s new song. This is just plain ignorant. I suggest they listen to the song before they ban it. I urge them to read the lyrics of the song before they accuse me of being something I most certainly am not for having said I liked it. In my opinion the writer of this article has implied that I am racist and antisemitic because I like the song and they have also in my opinion deliberate misrepresented and manipulated my comments in their article.  It’s a classic case, on their part, of “ready, fire, aim”! And so their aim is waaaaaay off the mark. Kanye West’s song, as is obvious to all who have listened to it, is not glorifying Nazis or Adolf Hitler. The entire point of the song, as would be clear to anyone who even bothered to do even a minimal amount of homework, is that Hitler is bad. That’s right. The point of the song is that Adolf Hitler is bad. He is the personification of evil and mental illness. The song begins with Kanye West confessing that he is filled with rage and anger. Worse, he is hopelessly addicted to drugs. Then he admits … “I’m the villain.” It’s in THAT context he sings “Heil Hitler” … not to acknowledge Hitler’s desire to kill Jews but in the sense that Hitler, in our culture, has come to mean the devil. And Kanye fears that he himself, filled with insatiable rage and his mind screwed up by drugs, has become the devil. Or, if you will, Hitler. He’s saying I’m angry, I’m completely messed up in the head. I’m basically Hitler. The reaction to my admission that I liked the song demonstrates how many people in this country flick their mouth to outrage before engaging their brain into first gear. People should be free to listen to whatever they want. But this is worse than that, the journalist has clearly taken issue because I said I liked a song they themselves have either never listened to or that they lacked the basic comprehension skills to understand. So I won’t be apologising for liking Kanye’s song because the song neither endorses Hitler nor promotes Nazis. Far from it. The song, as I have said, depicts Hitler and the Nazis as the personification of evil. That so many people ran to outrage over a song they have either not bothered to listen to or completely failed to understand says a great deal more about them than it says about me.  I will be seeking legal advice for potential defamation action.
