I've decided that today will be my last day on X/Twitter. You can follow me on Bluesky! Until then ~

Are we sure an early election is a good idea? #auspol

Key Seat is one of those terms that became meaningless with overuse in much of the media's coverage of the last election, but it really holds true for the Federal electorate of Parramatta. This will be one to watch in 2025! /end thread #auspol #Parramatta

Finally, the link to the ABC's coverage of the Parramatta electorate from the last Federal election: https://t.co/NZcZkmRAOp

And here's the link to the AEC's page for Parramatta with the electoral picture I included earlier: https://t.co/krQ4OSmlvv

All of these tweets (and my subsequent frantic AEC checking) were sparked by this post from Liberal candidate Katie Mullens: #auspol #electorate #Parramatta

So what does this all mean? Well if anyone followed me during the last election, I unfortunately can't give live updates focused solely on the electorate of Bennelong. I must now focus on Parramatta; an electorate that, until this tweet, I've only spelt with one r. #auspol

Amusingly, the ABC's coverage of the last Federal election makes fun of how often the seat of Paramatta changes its boundaries between one election to the next. #auspol #parramatta

And here's the latest outline of the Paramatta electorate: #auspol #Parramatta

It turns out the post was one of the Federal candidates for Paramatta pictured smiling one of the many burger shops in Ermington! That's because THIS MONTH the AEC updated the electoral boundaries to move Ermington (or at least parts of it) from Bennelong to Paramatta. #auspol

I jumped onto Facebook this evening and found a local community post from a candidate shaking hands down at the shops near where I live. Up until this point, I had assumed I still lived in the federal electorate of Bennelong. Turns out I was dead wrong. #auspol

There's an old saying that goes: "You can take the journo out of the newsroom, but you can't take the newsroom away from the journo." ...Well at least it's a saying I try to live by. #auspol

I'm not saying a coin commemorating Countdown is a bad thing, but that show last aired in 1987. Have we run out of things to mint commemorative coins out of?

Hard to overstate the impact these books had on millenial Australians

I want this to be real! #auspol

I'm not sure I can overstate how much of an impact this man had, albeit briefly, on Australian politics

It's hard to imagine a more broadly beloved larrikin than Jack Karlson. Anyone who watches the original video views him as a hero or a martyr to the cause. Vale to a real one

time for the card machine industry to decide whether you tap the screen or the top bit. this has gone on too long

Solidarity with SMH journos on strike today! #DontTorchJournalism
