Preferential voting is perhaps the most democratic way of electing a politician in the world. You require an absolute majority of votes to win. It ensures that the elected politician is the most preferred by the majority of voters. Together with compulsory voting it's amazing...

Teals are winning because candidates are running who the majority of their electorates end up preferring to the Liberal incumbents (and mostly to Labor and the Greens as well). If the majority of your electorate prefers someone else you do not win.

Today in dystopia, the military-industrial complex is reassuring investors that the wars will indeed be endless.
Asked about the Iran War's effect on defense stocks, Lockheed Martin CEO says: "Investors need to know and understand that this demand is not fleeting — it's permanent."

Finally the truth is coming out about Israel. More of these firsthand accounts by former and current IDF will emerge in the coming weeks. The global release of the documentary NAZA will change the way the world sees Israel forever.
Replying to @IDF
I was a combat soldier in an elite IDF unit. I served in the West Bank and witnessed firsthand how settlers could do whatever they wanted with impunity. Today I’m the Executive Director of ״Breaking the Silence״ an organization that has collected thousands of testimonies from Israeli soldiers over the past two decades. And I can say with certainty that this statement by IDF spokesperson is a lie. The IDF is not trying to stop Jewish terrorism in the occupied territories. In fact, it protects Jewish terrorists and arms them with US-made M16 rifles. If the IDF genuinely wanted to stop Jewish terrorism, the Chief of Staff could simply order the 30,000 soldiers stationed in the West Bank to carry out arrests. It’s that simple.

Here is the wonderful state of Israel in action again, covering over the evidence of their war crimes in Jabalia and genocide in Gaza. No one will ever find the bodies under that amount of sand. Psychotic Zionist ingenuity, yet again, all condoned by Western governments.

Israel’s PR problem is caused by Israeli behavior. They can increase their propaganda budget as much as they like and western hasbarists can churn out all the narrative spin in the world, but it still won’t cancel out what happens when you just film Israelis doing Israeli things.
The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine nearly to death. Then the IDF shot a Palestinian bystander, and aimed their guns and shoved the paramedics who were trying to treat him. All of this documented.

If Albanese loses the next election, don’t let him say it was the tax changes or the budget. It was his position on Gaza his deference to Israel and the US and the AUKUS agreement.

Quite possibly the military attack audio of the killing of Zomi Frankcom and her colleagues records the IDF talking about wantonly killing the aid workers in murderous terms. Remember that Israel’s first unbelievable excuse to Australia’s official investigator into Zomi’s murder, was that they won’t hand over the attack audio because it is “in Hebrew”. Now new excuses: “The audio is of very low quality. I checked. It won’t change the case in any way,” Newman told reporters during a briefing at the Israeli embassy in Canberra. “They are not sharing the audio, as far as I understand, because there might be intelligence issues that are connected to the audio.” New report: ‘Zomi Frankcom drone strike: Israel refuses to release audio footage of attack that killed Australian aid worker’ smh.com.au/politics/federal/… Earlier expose: declassifiedaus.org/2024/08/… @DeclassifiedUK @DeclassifiedAus

This is the attitude behind every racist shitbag on this platform. Part of a little girl’s skull was found near Mackay in Qld. The skull was taken to the local pub. The locals used it as a communal ashtray. Why? Because they thought it was an Indigenous girl’s skill. They felt bad only when it was revealed to be from a white girl’s murder. Forget the spin, forget how innocuous they pretend to be, THIS is who they really are. abc.net.au/news/2026-10-15/m…

Penny Wong just keeps on exposing herself. We watched her operate for three years while the Netanyahu Govt committed Murder and Genocide against thousands of innocent Palestinian Men, Women and Children. She made excuse after excuse for supporting Israel and doing nothing.

Isn't it remarkable? The entire world has watched Israel bomb, snipe, torture, rape, and starve Palestinians for over 3 years, plus poison the sheep of Palestinians, dig up their olive trees and steal their houses, and I'M the hate-filled one? Well.
You are one hate-filled lying fuck.

Its not going well is it Albanese? You were riding on the crest of a wave with 94 seats then you made changes and started ignoring the people. You sold out the country. You turned a successful term as PM into a death dive. You will be lucky to make the next election as PM.

David Shoebridge scolds Labor, LNP & One Nation saying it’s a “disgrace” they’re voting against Thorpe’s bill to ban shackling of women who are giving birth in custody. “Ask yourself what you would have thought, if you…your partner…your daughter was shackled to the bed.”💥

For 3 years Albanese has supported Trump and Netanyahu thru Murder and Genocide in Gaza. That image is now a part of the Albanese Govt. He appointed a Zionist as a special envoy. He appointed a RC into anti-semitism. He responded to Netanyahu and the Israel Lobby. He changed Laws

I am shocked by the political inertia in the face of what Israelis -settlers and soldiers- are doing in Palestine, where terror has become a daily reality. In the West Bank, torching century old trees and poisoning livestock. When will the EU take action against Apartheid Israel?

if you think the International Criminal Court is a threat to you... you might just be a war criminal
Today, the Trump Administration is sanctioning the ICC. This action should encourage our Allies within the Court to work for solutions to end this threat to U.S. sovereignty forever.

The USA is an extremely sick society. Albanese endeavours to promote a relationship of being allies which is simply handcuffing Australia to imbeciles. I reject the warmongering evilness and am opposed to any relationship with such an evil country. Say No to AUKUS. @AlboMP
This shows just how extreme the US is. Livestreaming an execution by firing squad is the behaviour of a bloodthirsty dictator. Yet the Albanese Government is tying us closer and closer to the Trump regime.

I'm reliably informed phone polling took place in Albanese's electorate of Grayndler a few weeks back Which is fascinating, bc there isn't an election on at the moment, nor is there one in the foreseeable future I wonder who suddenly feels the need to test the voting intentions of the people of Grayndler?
If Hannah Ferguson takes Anthony Albanese’s seat, it will be one of the most cathartic moments in political history. The duopoly is destroying us. 🤞

Does Australia stand with the ICC? Time for Albanese and Wong to stop talking out both sides of their mouths. I don’t want to hear anymore concerned, deeply concerned, gravely concerned. I want a definitive Yes! #auspol, do your job.
The UK stands with the International Criminal Court and we stand united with our partners in strongly disagreeing with sanctions imposed on the Court. The ICC must be permitted to continue its critical work holding perpetrators of the most horrific international crimes to account.

This morning I’ve read that the Australian govt will continue to allow women prisoners to be shackled whilst giving birth… And the US is preparing to stage a public execution by firing squad which will be live-streamed so all the kiddies can watch There is no doubt that as a species, we are devolving.
