So if not The Greens, who? There arenāt enough Independents. Thereās only the Liberals left. It is such a nonsense. A Labor/Liberal partnership. Oh the irony. He will make a deal with a party he only two months ago moved a motion of no confidence against. š#politas.
Tasmanian Labor āwill not be entering into any deals with the Greensā. The Hare-Clark electoral system means that Tasmanian Labor will never get a majority of seats. That means they have to work with others . This is a silly commitment to permanent opposition #auspol

No, Jeremy Rockliff. If the people of Tasmania wanted you as Premier leading a Liberal government, thatās what we would have voted for & you would have the minimum 18 seats you need to declare victory. That didnāt happen. Do try and stay in the real world. #politas.

Itās not the voting system thatās broken in Tasmania. Itās the absolutely dreadful candidates & policies the major parties offer us as our āonly option.ā They present us with rubbish, we reject it & they blame us & a system that has worked for ~130 years. #politas.

Had to go down to the shack today to sort some prep for painting next week, the dog required a 6k run on the beach in a howling gale, got home at 5:50pm & saw the corflute in my front yard urging people to vote Green. āOh shit. Voting.ā Got there at 5:58pm. š#politas.

Here we go, Tassie. Shall we vote for parties who insist we build a stadium we canāt afford & canāt even buy ferries for an island state that are fit for purpose or will we give it a shake up & try for competence for a change? I guess weāll know by tonight. #politas.

I too am delighted to see the ABC reporting news accurately. But so sad that this is where we are: openly paying our respect for a journalist doing the bare minimum; reporting events as they actually happened.
Despite having my beautiful face suffering from carcinoma removal surgery and the subsequent discomfort I must pay respects to @ABCTV and its Middle East reporter Matthew Doran - an utter professional telling it as it is - the envoy must be impressed too!.

We go to the polls tomorrow here in Tassie. There will be some changes but Iām pretty sure we will have another hung parliament & two ineffectual, loud mouthed parties who donāt know how to govern in minority but neither are remotely good enough to win a majority. #politas.

I miss the days of waking up and seeing footage of #Israel being bombed by Iran.
BREAKING:. This is not Gaza. This is not Beirut. This is Damascus. Israel is raining bombs on Syriaās capital, targeting civilian neighborhoods and government sites, in one of the oldest cities on Earth ā a city that has stood for over 11,000 years.

Where is the analysis in this story @abcnews ? Cash said this, Albanese said that. We know. We saw the same footage you did. Are you not supposed to fact check and analyse the merits of the comments made? FFS, what use are you? #auspol.
The Coalition has accused the prime minister of making "excuses" for China and neglecting the United States as Anthony Albanese paid a high-profile visit to a giant panda breeding and research centre.

Iām delighted Piers Morgan has Mehdi Hasan on his show as often as he does but it is surprising. Piers sits and stares in wonder as a real, well informed journalist shows him how to do his job. Kudos, I guess.
"More than just being a lawyer [for Jeffrey Epstein], Alan was a friend of Epstein's, and a friend of Ghislaine Maxwell, and went to the mansion, and went on the plane. I am questioning Alan's judgement on this and many other issues.". Me versus Alan Dershowitz on Piers Morgan.

Yes, far too busy to talk to Tasmanian voters on the loudest megaphone across the state just days before an election they both insisted we have. Such big, important, busy men. šI hope voters have no time for either of them on Saturday. #politas.
It is the Tasmanian state election this Saturday. Sadly despite my repeated efforts (and the fact I live here) neither the Premier @jeremyrockliff nor the Opposition leader @DeanWinterMP have time to talk with AM this week.

Pretty sure he doesnāt know what ācodifyā means. š.
Angus Taylor in a Shocker says he expects govt to precommit to a hypothetical war with the US over Taiwan but refuses to clarify what heās talking about. Ferguson āWhy should Aus make a precommitment of that nature when the US retain some ambiguity over its position?āš„#abc730

We always knew that eventually even the most stubborn would acknowledge what Israel is doing. Itās just such a tragedy that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had to die first. Still time for you @AlboMP & @SenatorWong to stop lying to yourselves & to us.

I donāt know if itās evil or a sickness. But it is a side of humanity I hoped I would never witness. What unspeakably awful people she and her beloved Abraham are. #Zionism.
Jewish settler Ruth Azoulay mourned her husband, an Israeli soldier killed in Gaza in July. She recalled how he "so wanted to be in Gaza" and would recount "all the houses" he'd "destroyed" to make "progress on their mission". She vowed to occupy and resettle Gaza in his memory.
