@DrDreHistorian Looks lovely! Would you like some Melbourne skyline on the mildly overcast yesterday as seen from the Bunbury St tunnel entrance?

Perth skyline this mild sunny afternoon as seen from Victoria Park

JUST IN: Hundreds of NTEU members at @UOW have overwhelmingly endorsed a NO CONFIDENCE motion towards VC John Dewar and University Council. Staff are calling on management to drop the proposal to slash 137 jobs, and for genuine consultation 🔁 share in solidarity with UOW staff

@AsFarce Going going gone! (Just saw he lost Saltwater)

@DrDreHistorian Though he was beaten by an independent (who looks promising) so not entirely conceding the point!

@Leo_Puglisi6 Disappointing though. Plus it means conceding a point to @DrDreHistorian (Jorge Jorquera was my example of someone I thought would be reelected when we were talking single ward electorates)

Not a huuuuuge shock that Victorian Socialists councillor Jorge Jorquera has lost - was always going to be tough moving to a single-member seat, but he got decently close now looks like there's a chance that the only Victorian Socialists councillor will be in...Greater Bendigo

@itsonelouder @Leo_Puglisi6 You’re welcome!

With the VEC officially announcing local elections results, I've started a live blog at LocalElections.com.au with info and analysis: Headlines so far: - Greens gone in Surf Coast - Greens win Boroondara ward - Ind. Libertarian elected in Cardinia localelections.com.au/post/live-upda…

@AsFarce Her brother can go with her!

Biden should resign so Harris becomes 47 and Donald has to throw out all his 47 swag

@Leo_Puglisi6 Please!

so uhhhh…does anyone want some new results from the Victorian local government elections that came in today….?

May I offer US friends an Australian proverb in these trying times: Yeah nah shit's pretty fucked ay

Holding on to this…

Whatever the result, it will never not be absolutely terrible that it’s even this close.

I haven’t given up - there’s still the chance of the blue wave taking down the red mirage, but man this is depressing to watch

Happy AEC appreciation day to all who observe

It’s his time

Clothes have long been political. 🧵

Took me a sec to realize it was because of the races, which I take as a positive sign I was able to completely forget about the races today :)

Busy along the Maribyrnong today
