Cycling tragic, used to watching racing in the dark & probably cold hours! When not discussing cycling, expect talk about books, cats & my uni studies. She/Her

In NSW the Socialists have renamed to “New South Wales Soc” for state registration
They still have a chance to rename to “Socialists” closer to the 2027 election (depending on the future situation with Socialist Alliance)
Leonardo Puglisi@Leo_Puglisi6
The Victorian Socialists will reapply for AEC registration under the name "Australian Socialist Party" (previously applied as just "Socialist Party") They say Socialist Alliance has NOT "acted to prevent our registration" but "has rejected our calls for unity"

@irregulargrapes It’s also weird as ‘let’s do dinner at your house and switch off who’s cooking’ is genuinely one of the easiest ways to get to spend time with friends who have little kids. You feed the kids, get them off to bed, and then can have adult socialising time afterwards.
English
look at all the people in the comments using their motivated reasoning to justify why "spending time with people" and "doing nice things for your friends" are actually bad things

If you're single and most of your friends are married with kids, you can just go to their houses and cook dinner You get to see your friends, they don't have to take their kids anywhere, and they can do other parent things while you're cooking

This afternoon I overtook a guy on the cyclelane who was balancing a water bottle on his head whilst riding and I feel now no number of PR's on my Strava will ever live up to his achievements
English
@ridetoworkpol Yeah, absolutely the Most Likely Suspect to pull shit like that from the US

#couchpeloton, anyone heard anything about this?
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if is true, given that particular riders history.

really engaging with being queer with these call out posts, amazing work

Mitch aint fuckin around with the calling out 💜

@JaneKin54322448 That’s not even a spelling difference issue, which is the usual problem! Just genuine dictionary missing word situation.

🚨MISSING HIKERS FOUND
Two missing hikers were found safe near Carruthers Peak around 4am Sunday. NSW SES Alpine Search and Rescue Unit assisted NSW Police in a blizzard search after they failed to return from a hike. A strong reminder to always be prepared in alpine conditions.

@JaneKin54322448 @SimonDavisTas Crabb gets an outsize amount of hate for essentially having a career that is ‘packaging political news in ways politically-disinterested women may see it’
English
I don't get drips. The Coalition sets itself on fire and drips complain that the media are covering the Liberals (Labor won 94 seats, didn't you know?)
But of course when there is drama in Labor and the media covers that it's: the Liberals are in chaos, why don't you cover that?
Annabel Crabb@annabelcrabb
TONIGHT: I'm not quite sure how and when she managed this, but @patskarvelas has put together what looks to be an unmissable @4corners ep about the civil war inside the Liberal Party @abcnews abc.net.au/news/2025-05-2…

@kevinbonham Lilley. Seriously? Imagine having the hubris to believe your swing could wipe out a party in a state the size of QLD.
English
Petrie was the biggest shocker of the night for me ... the only Coalition loss where I don't recall seeing a word about it potentially falling. LNP diverted resources from Petrie to trying to win ... Lilley!

@JaneKin54322448 Only a little got under the door, we noticed it wasn’t draining pretty quick

@JaneKin54322448 We had a first floor swimming pool on a balcony earlier

@AmyRemeikis In fact, they’ve elected:
Rosemary Follett
Carmen Lawrence
Joan Kirner
Maggie Hickey
Clare Martin
Anna Bligh
Kristina Keneally
Julia Gillard
Lara Giddings
Katy Gallagher
Annastacia Palaszczuk
Delia Lawrie
Bec White
Jodi McKay
Natasha Fyles
Jacinta Allan
Eva Lawler
Selena Uibo
English
And if you want to get into the semantics, Labor also elected a woman leader of the opposition in Annastacia Palaszczuk

@TVietor08 I not only had one, I went to a second school to get a second and buy cakes from their cake stall.

Australian Friends...did you actually have a "democracy sausage" after voting Saturday, or is that a thing the western media amps up as more of a tradition than it is?
English
To be honest I think it's also a bit of a reflection of good old fashioned just doing the hard yards of being an active and visible local MP for three solid years. Bennelong has not had this in anyone's living memory (Howard, McKew and Alexander simply did not do this).
English
Bennelong booth-level 2PP is out and damn - the LP only won a single booth - Hunters Hill PS. The weird belief in some kind of "Chinese bloc" is a total bust. Looks like only real support that didn't completely crumble is the old money areas - HH, Putney, Longueville. #ausvotes

Democracy Sausage is entirely unpaid and unsponsored... but we do occasionally get fun things in the mail.

@Leo_Puglisi6 So would you say ‘can’t lose from here’, Leo?
(I mean if the Leo jinx holds… say the words, Leo, say the words)

@anthonysegaert I can’t help but think every time I see that van that if the Libs are worried about petrol prices, maybe try not driving a van around as a mobile billboard?
English
My maths could be very wrong, but my count at Parramatta pre-poll centre this morning stands at:
- 83 corflutes
- 38 campaign volunteers
- 1 Liberal van with a petrol pump on it

@laenij The benefit of an instant deduction is that it simplifies tax form lodgements, so that there’s the potential they can move to automatically lodging people’s taxes if they’re basic, and people only need to log in to add additional information for things that don’t prefill
English
like cool. but if were doing tax stuff. can you not just bring back lmitos????
Tanya Plibersek@tanya_plibersek
JUST ANNOUNCED: Labor will guarantee all workers get a $1,000 instant tax deduction every single year.
